It is Founder's Week, commemorating the frist conception of the chain store idea which was horn in the brain of George II un.tingVofi Hartford in J Ho''. The idea, greatly amplified by its originator and his successors since then, was the bedrock foundation oi all similar chain systems that are such essential and integral parts of all busincii, financial and domestic life today. f ounder's Week ha.- Uen annually ' (clebrated by the A.

" 11 ' " 1 ^ r Real Facts About Most Absurd Hoax One of the inofct curious stories relating to our currency is to the effect that a Catholic engraver secretly incorporated a picture of the jmjjh- and other Catholic symbols in tiie design of vftfro' one-<l</llar greenback or legal ^tender Treasury notes ot the ".Series of PJ17." Thin bill h.i- often been referred to as the ( atholie dollar bill by anti-t atholicH and it is whispered urourui that the engraver was dismissed from the Huicau of Kngraving and Printing and was sentenced to a term in the penitentiary. It is hardly necessary to state that the .-tory is pure fiction. The first plate for greenbacks bearing this face wan designed and engraved in 180* by the Columbia Hank Note Co. of New York arui the first bills bearing the design were issued in 1H(JU when Grant fra? president. f;W?th different signatures, Heals and other trifling change* the same plate wan used to print hilla in 1874, 1875, 1878, 1880 and again in ll>17. N On the left-hand side of thiH bill is a picture of Columbus discovering the New World, and in the upper left-hand corner is a figure which many believe to la; a human face ? perhaps that of the Virgin Mary, or the pope! This figure, according to the liureau of Engraving and 1'rintjng, was not intended to be a face at all. When viewed at a different angle, or under a magnifying glass, the figure ceases to resemble a face and becomes merely a floral decoration. mmMmmmmmmammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmtmmmmm*!*** ? ? j?? ? -=?: v Figures suoh as this frequently occur in painting* and engravings, especially in the older designs, without auy intent on the part of the artist to produce such an effect. The designer of currency resorta to all sorts bf figures and fancies for the purpose of making counterfeiting difficult The cross that appears on. at least two "K's" on the reverse side of the bill is explained in a similar manner and is merely a fancy design in type. Likewise the so-called rosary around the border of the design in the center of the reverse is nobbing more than a conventional engraving pattern and noes not resemble a rosary at all. Neither is there any reason for supposing that the serpent in the lower right-hand corner of the face of the bill was intended as a Catholic symbol. The story about the so-called Cath olic bill received wide circulation after a number of employee? were dismissed from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing during President Harding's administration. The trouble was not in connection with paper money, but Liberty Bonds, and all employees who were dismissed were later reinstated. In 1024 William C. McAdoo, who was secretary of the treasury in 1017, when the bills were issued, declared that "the Catholics hud no more to do with the design of this one-dollar bill than the man in the moon." More rfne-dollar bills were needed and, according to McAdoo, "it became necessary to resume the one-dollar greenbacks." An old design was used and the words "Series of 1017" were substituted for "Series of 1880" "merely to indicate that the re-is evtance wan not counterfeit \ J I Pathfinder.

Analyze the Allowance on Yolk Used Car a If a dealer pays f/ori mare than the true trorth of the ear he must make up the difference by extra charyes on the new car or re-sell it to some one else at too hiyh a price PERMANENT value is always better than a temporary bargain in the purchase of an automobile. It pays to look ajiead and consider reliability and ultimate up-keep costs, as well as comfort, safety, speed, and beauty of line and color. Since most automobiles are bought for replacement. the value set on your used car is a factor in almost every purchase. Frequently it is given an importance beyond its true worth. I'sed cars have a definite market value and you are justly entitled to an allowance based on that ?? J value. It is not fair that you receive less. It is not to your best interests to receive more. If a dealer pays yon more than the true worth of the car he must either re-sell it to some one else at too high a price or make up the difference on the new car. This he cannot do unless he is allowed an excessive profit on the car or on financing, extra equipment and other charges. In either case, you pay the bill, for 110 way has yet been found to give something for nothing. The money must come from soniewliere. You may not get the largest used-ear allowance from the Ford dealer, but that very fact should give you confidence that you are receiving full value in the new car. Ford charges are not marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in allowance on your old car Because there is no waste, extravagance or undue profit in manufacturing, distribution or selling, every dollar you pay for a Ford brings a full dollar in return. In lower first cost, in reliability and long life, in the low cost of operation, service and replacement parts, the Ford will save you much more than the seeming difference in trade allowance. FURTHERMORE, at least $75 extra value is given to you in the new Ford in the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, the Rustless Steel, the five steelspoke wheels, and the four Houdaille hydraulic double-acting shock absorbers. The unusually large number of ball and roller bearings, and the extensive use of fine steel forgings instead of castings or stampings, are other features that show the extra quality built into the Ford car.
