Women Find A Shoe
That Fits—Maybe!
Denver, Nov. 19—It all started
about noon today when shoe
salesman Clarence Hopper, Jr.,
tried a gray slipper on Miss
Louise Davidson and inadver
tantly put the mate on the coun
ter.
As Miss Davidson walked
around to get the feel of the shoe,
another women wandered in
and tried on the mate. Both de
cided that was the shoe for them.
“But I already had the shoe
on,” said Miss Davidson.
“But it was sitting on the
counter,” said the other.
They sat at opposite ends of
the store ahd glared.
After 15 minutes Hopper de
cided it was time for lunch.
Other clerks tried to solve the
dispute. They suggested flip
ping a coin, or different colors
“Certainly not,” was the answer.
Miss Davidson herself sug
gested: “Look, my right foot is a
little larger than my left. I’ll
take the left ? 1-2 and a right—
A, and you can have the others.”
"No,” said the other "I pick
ed this shoe up off the counter
and
At 2:30 p. m. they were still
sitting. Hopper was still at
lunch.
Then in walked a reporter and
a photographer.
The unidentified woman kick
ed off the grey shoe, slipped on
her own and disappeared out the
door.
Miss Davidson paid for the
shoes and left in triumph.
• “You know something,’’ said a
clerk who had tried to act as
peacemaker, "that shoe didn’t fit
either of them.”
Newspapers
Best Medium
Los Angeles — A savings and
loan business report today says it
favors newspapers as its most ef
fective advertising medium
The report came from the ad
vertising and business develop
ment committee of the United
States Savings and Loan League,
holding its 62nd annual conven
tion here.
It said that a survey of more
than 100 leading savings and loan
associations throughout the na
tion showed that 32 per cent of
their 1954 .advertising budgets
went to newsapers. Radio was
the runner-up medium, with 19
per cent.
Sylvester Wood, Milwaukee,
committee chairman, said the na
tion’s savings and loan business
plans to spend 40 million dollars
in advertising in 1955.
The survey also showed that 11
per cent of the institutions polled
plan to increase their advertising
appropriations next year, 30 per
cent of them planning a boost of
moe than 15 per cent. Seventy-
eight per cent ranked savings
promotion as the "most import-
ant” advertising aim. ,
Where Democrocy
Of Brown Floyor
Was Solid
Recent years have sthown that
the word “Democrat” has losts its
charm in South Carolina. Some
so-called politicians profess they
can't understand it. These sim
ple facts might help to convince
any who have doubts. In Co
lumbia Ward 9 is a negro ward.
It voted 10 to 1 for “Mr. Demo
crat” Brown, whilq all the rest
of Columbia voted 10 to 1 for
Thurmond. In the negro pre-
cints 4 and 5 at Darlington, South
Carolina, Edgar Brown, receiv
ed 732 votes, Thurmond receiv
ed exactly 0, meaning zero. Ward
9 in Columbia and precincts 4
and 5 in Darlington were solidly
"Democratic.” This is a cold,
matter of fact explanation of the
loss of face’of the word “Demo
crat” in South Carolina. — The
Easley Progress.
