This occurred on April i 12th of last year, she said.

When question ed as to the statements made In some of the letters that she entertained a great c'eal. often going out and re maining out to late hours, she stated that she did entertain considerably; that she was a member of a bridge club, and often had the members at her father’s home.

It is but natural that a community regards the home owner with more respect than a renter; he is looked upon as a substantial citizen having a vital interest in the com mon welfare. And this is right. A home owner IS the vital force in the community—his is the voice that directs its course. With home ownership comes a pride of possession, a sense of self-respect, of more responsible citizenship, that betters the man and elevates his family. At work, in office, store or shop the home owner is looked upon as a man to tie to— to be depended upon—to be advanced. Meet your fellow citizens, your neighbors, as an equal. LUCAS & BRUNSON REAL ESTATE BROKERS- 27 West Evans Street -Since 1910 Phone 386 It Pays To Swim With The Current This is about two spark plugs. At the moment they are lying on the sales manager’s desk in the establishment of a large middle- western hardware jobber. One spark plug bears a name known wherever automobiles are used, the other a name seldom heard. i Both, says the sales manager, are good plugs. On the score of quality they run neck and neck. “But,” he adds, “we are discon tinuing this line”—and he holds up the plug of unfamiliar name. “Yes’ and our discount on it is larger, too.” “What’s wrong with it? Not a thing. It’s a good plug—mighty good plug, buL—no one knows about it. It isn’t advertised—the other one is. The demand is for the advertised make. And we’ve learned it pays to swim with the current, not against it.” More and more jobbers in every line of business are learn ing every day that it pays to swim with the current of popular demand. * “Our job,” said one jobber, “is to supply markets, not create them. Let the manufacturer make a market for his goods, and we will handle it.” Said another—“Our salesmen carry a catalog with thousands of items in it. They haven’t the time to push unadvertised goods. Their work is principally taking orders.” If you go among these whole salers today to introduce a new product in competition with mer chandise nationally advertised, unless the article is exceptional, you will be met everywhere by the injunction : “First go out and get a reputation for your . goods through advertising.” The wholesaler knows by actual contact with dealers how they value speed of turnover, goods which move with a mini mum of effort, goods people know about and ask for.
