A NEW KIND OF GUEST CHAMBER.
THE LATEST CONVENIENCE IN THE MOD
ERN APARTMENT HOUSE.

Progress in the arts of living more and more
tends to strip the economically inclined of every
excuse for saving expense. This is one way of
putting it. The case may also be stated: Prog
ress is ever increasing the joys of life. and now
offers opportunities for the pleasure of playing
the host which were unheard of only short
time ago-the more gracious view of the case
and the better suited TO this genial season. The
concrete example is that of an apartment house
on Morningside Park. where the agent has recog-
nized the existence of one convenience-or in
convenience-of fiat life and with malicious
or mendable-ingenuity has Obviated it.

BONUSES FOR FACTORIES
One of the Questions to Be COnsid-
cred by Board Of Commerce.

A question of much interest to CONNER
cial organizations is the most successful
method of securing the location of new
manufactures IN a city. The old idea is
that it can best be accomplished by Offering
inducements in the form of a bonus, but
many of the people who have had much ex-
perience in the work of commercial organi-
cations are opposed to this method. One of
the interesting features OF the coming
meeting of the Indiana State Board of
Commerce will be full discussion OF the
subject. introduced with a paper by Mr..
John p. Sears. secretary of the Anderson
Commercial Club on us 1t Profitable to
Give Bonuses to Factories?' Mr.. Sears has
had much experience along this line. The
general work of the Anderson Commercial
Club has been in raising capital to secure
the location of new industries in Anderson.
A paper of kindred nature will be pre-
sented by S. G.. Redwood, of Evansville, on
How Manufacturing Benefits a City
These are subjects of particular Importance
to the newer commercial organizations of
the State and they are interested in getting
the best information on the subject.
