\ the conglomerators and pecuniators
of this, our column, make our modest
bow to the reading public. Though
Columbus is said to have discovered
America?(personally, we don't believe
it)?and Joan of Arc is credited
with having started the flappers'
craze for knickers, that hasn't a
thing to do with what we are going
to say here; we absolutely refuse to
4 be influenced by history. But let
those who read our Column bear in
mind these three things:
1. Forgive our indiscretions as we
forgive you your unpaid subscriptions.
2. If you have heard any of these
wise cracks before, don't kid yourself
that you are the only ones; we
have, too.
3. If you can't see a point to some
of these, then we're even, because 1
we can't either.

In times of affliction and adversity,
kind Fate always sends her minister
of sunshine in the form of some person
who inevitable produces the right
idea to help those afflicted. The
other day, just as we were about to go
to press, we suddenly discovered that
we were out of ink. What to do? At
the psychological moment someone
conceived the idea of rubbing the office
towel over the type forms, and
the result was the usual black edition.

Extracts from our contemporaries:
"Wanted: A woman to wash, iron,
and milk a cow."
"A great misfortune befell Farmer
Perkins last evening when a trolley
on the B. V. and D. struck a cow between
stops seven and eight."
"Mr. Frank, while harnessing a
colt last Saturday, had. the misfortune
to be, kicked in his corn-crib."

Testimonial.
"Gentlemen:?I had often read
your advertisement stating that corns
could be lifted out after a few drops
of your liquid was poured on them.
I regarded this as spiffle and siJ&of,
however, not to say bunk. But one
day recently a corn of mine began
misbehaving, and I used a few drops
of your medicine. As soon as the
first drop hit the toe, the corn bounced
right up and hit me in the eye. I
can never recommend your corn
remedy too highly after this. Have
you anything to relieve irritation in
a sore eye? G. ULLIBLE."
The flapper's plea: Love me, love
my job.
A packet of Sen-Sen will cover a
multitude of gins.
We are getting tired of these infernal
"weeks." For the sake of
variety, why don't they celebrate just
a plain unadulterated "week" for
once?
One of the surest signs of Spring
is when you see automobiles, fully
equipped with side curtains, parked
along some country road, for "In the
spring a young man's fancy
"Under the spieading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he.
With large and sinewy hands,
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
"But." said he, "this blacksmith job
Is not so good, I know."
So he and his brother grew whiskers,
And they're selling cough-drops
now.

The Evolution
of Merchandising
The Passing of the Small Store.
The New York Times says: Twenty
years ago J. C. Penny opened a
general store in Kemmerer, a small
Wyoming town. In the first year of
- J? J - t _ .e
its existence it aia a uusiness 01
nearly $29,000. This spring the J.
C. Penney Company, of which Mr.
Penny is the founder and chairman
of the board of directors, issued a
single check for $1,671,693.51 in
payment for shoes it had bought, and
this check covered only a part of the
company's purchases from a single
manufacturing concern. Shoes were
bought from several other manufacturers
as well. \
* Mention is made of the check referred
to, the largest yet drawn by
the company, because it typifies the
growth of the business in the twenty
years that have passed since the
first store was opened. Other indications
of its rapid growth are that
the company now owns and operates
313 stores, located in twenty-seven
different states, and that stepis are j
being taken to open fifty-eight additional
establishments during 1922.
The store that so far has been opened
nearest to the city is located at Amsterdam,
N. Y. Last year the total
business done by the company was
approximately $46,642,000 and, according
to an estimate made yesterday
by -Mr. Penny, sales for 1922,
with the fifty-eight new stores in operation,
will reach about $55,000,000.
Sixty per cent, of the buying of the
Penney company is done for the fall
season, and it is estimated that the
total business it will place this season
will appropriate $20,000,000. In
addition, several million dollars
worth of goods have already been
o-itf fnv navt enrinp "Exeentine

for shoes, of which the company
makes quite a specialty, the great
bulk of the merchandise it sells is
purchased in this city, where buying
and general offices are maintained atj
370 Seventh Avenue. The shoe buy-|
ing is centered in St. Louis, and the
volume of the purchases is indicated
by the fact that the total shoe business
which the company expects to do
this year will reach about $11,000,000.
The retail prices at which the
men's shoes are sold range from
$2.98 to $8.90, the general lines
handled including everything down
to infants' goods.
The company does business on a
strictly cash basis, both in selling and
buying, regardless of the size of the

three times a month. No deliveries
are made of goods purchased by consumers,
which is a factor in keeping
down the already low overhead of
the stores. One of the most distinctive
features of the company's selling
policy, however, is that no store in
the group is permitted to hold special
sales of any kind. The first price at
which the goods are offered are the
last price, and the executives of the
company say that, due to the low
cost of doing business, the first prices
are so low that no reductions
would be required to move the goods,
even if they were permitted.
Under the novel cooperative system
by which the company does its business,
the manager of almost every

store he manages. Very often the
money with which to buy this interest
is advanced by the company, and
the manager is also allowed to own
a third interest in as many other
stores as he has the ability to develop.
Large amounts of money are
distributed annually among the
saleswomen. The business of the
company, according to Mr. Penny,
was founded on the Golden Rule,
and for some time the stores were
known as Golden Rule stores. While
this name is no longer used, he asserted
yesterday, the principles on
which the business was founded will
never be changed.

Exempler of Wisdom.
"Who is the wisest man mentioned
in the Scriptures?" asked a teacher
of one of her Sunday school class.
"Paul," exclaimed the little fellow,
confidently.
"Oh, no, Johnny; Paul was a very
good man, but Solomon is mentioned
as the wisest man."
"Well, my father says Paul was
the wisest man, because he never
married, and I think my father
ought to know," replied the boy, emphatically.

and India, the women is absolute

To Stop a Cough Quick'
lake HAYES' HEALING HONEY, a
cough medicine which stops the cough by
healing the inflamed and irritated tissues.
A box of GROVE'S O-PEN-TRATE
SALVE for Chest Colds, Head Colds and
Croup is enclosed with every bottle of
HAYES' HEALING HONEY. The salve
should be rubbed on the chest and throat
of children suffering from a Cold or Croup.

Grove's O-Pen-Trate Salve through the pores of
the skin soon stops a cough.
Both remedies are packed in one carton and the
cost of the combined treatment is 35c.
