May the New Year Push the
 Clouds Away
Our Best Wishes Go 10 You Dear Reader,
 For q Year of Uninterrupted Contentment!


 Our Ideals for the New Year
 We mean to continue our belief in courtesy, in kindness, in generos- ity, in good cheer, in true friendship, in honest competition.
 We are working with a clearly defined IDEAL, for we believe that a business institution without an ideal is like ship with many hands at the Wheel-zig-Zagging down rocky river, pumping here and scrap ing there with terrified passengers hanging over the rails and no hope in their hearts that they would ever reach port.
 When our store puts on it's night clothes tonight, 1t will go to sleep with one fixed purpose in its mind, to be strengthened from day to day. That purpose is: To have above all
 Wisely Selected Merchandise
 That this has ever been the pur- pose of this institution must be ap- parent to thoughtful spenders of money. The greatest quality of this store has ever been its selected mer- Chandise.
 The fact is, we turn down as un- desirable for our customers to buy ten times as many goods as we bring to our salesrooms. We believe that we are known generally to be what are called hard buyers. How else could be built up with the consum- CTS a business as to require such wonderful volume of merchandise as we distribute in Birmingham and the South.
 The people of Birmingham are not all "half-price'' or "third-off'' people, nor are they all after so-called cheap goods,' which are generally dearin comparison with better articles that allow enough to pay makers for good material and workers for honest work.
 Were we not always demanding of manufacturers more care and quality than is shown in the Quantl- ties of fabrics and articles that are re- duced in quality and workmanship for special sales we should never feel that we were fulfilling our duties to the people who expect of us our best.
 There are four grand divisions which must be sidered in the management of our business.
 First The Public Second: The Employees Third: The Officers Fourth The Stockholders Of hese the of fce have hardest and responsible poston they must manage that harmony exists within the organization and that satisfaction is given customers at end and the stockholders at the other.
 Though almost 9 years in business only now turn ing our the light We have just begun to strongly towards our true destiny.

Indiana Harbor. Ind, April 81. - The

enough seats arranged on the grand

each other in a scramble to secure
choice space. They realize that this
is about the best advertising medium
OF the billboard variety that Lake coun-

1t Is expected that there will be
quite a contest for space on the score

will be seen both from the inside and
outside of the park.

The jury was discharged and the

A GREAT INDUSTRY

A writer in the Engineering World
states that the cement industry now
ranks third in this country, being ex-
ceeded only by iron and coal. With
the completion of two new cement mills
at Burlington Lake county will rank
among the worlds foremost cement
producers.' The engineering magazine
says:
THE growth of the portland cement
industry has not ended, and its pres
ent relative Importance Is rarely UNI
derstood. Its increase in size and in
commercial influence brings with 1t
certain consequences which might we'll
be borne In mind at the present mo-
ment. We can no longer feel that the
cement industry is small and unimpor-
tant and that its condition is purely q
matter of private or local interest On
the contrary. 1t must be realized that
the soundness of the cement industry
has now become a matter of interest
not only to cement manufacturers. but
to commercial and financial interests
generally.
I'm capital employed II probably
ranks third only to iron and coal
among the American mineral industries.
1t certainly far outranks in this re-
spect all the gold mining and INDUSTRY
OF the United States and A1aska.eEven
the copper industry falls into loweH
place. for Finlay has recently estrs>
mated that the value of all the copper
mining and smelling plants OF the
! United States Is only $f1o.0oeSo0os From
the-<hanking point OF view. therefore,
we are dealing with one of the three
great extractive industries Of the
world"
