for those who are working a little to
work more, for those who are seri-
ously at it TO become even more so

securely in the belief that his sugges-
tions will fan upon mahy willing
ears that are eager to perform their
functions as vote getters TO the utter

who are casting a large vote in Lip
pincotts department store which is
double that cast i'm all the grocers
and markets put together, when they
could exhibit five times the strength

and meat trade were embraced. just
the reverse applies to others; large
vote is coming in from one of two
grocers and markets and comparative
~ few from other stores
It's All such a simple nrobien and
