that the driver showed he had
left the hat at my home. but did
not get a signed receipt for it.
81 waited several days longer,
thinking the hat'might show up,
then | again called and reported
that the hat had not reached me,
and the manager of the store
asked me at what | valued the
hat.
Three days later RECEIVED
a letter from them enclosing A
CHECK, saying that, while they
had a record that the hat had
been left at the house, since |
had not received it, THEY
WERE WILLING TO STAND
THE LOSS. .
1.-The very day the check
reached me / was unpacking
some of my boxes, and came
across a box containing the hat,
which, in some mysterious way,
had reached my room without
my knowledge.
Naturally, / was glad to be
able to return the check. This
sort of thing may be done by a
number of stores, but it appealed
to me particularly because | was
not a regular customer of Rog-
ers, Peet & Co., yet no hesitation
was shown in sending me the
check.
ut seems to me that a policy
of this sort not only keeps GUS
toner satisfied, but makes him a
standing advertisement for the
store among his friends"
Such a policy followed by any
store will build for it a LAST

Which makes the fair sheaves fairer

Sends harvest hours. when daylight

While Murrell was speaking the

10 arrest his attention. A look OF

To the Editor of The Times: In

truly say Il like 1t better every

cost and coold the editorials be read
by every citizen, who loves home,
good citizenship and country more
than his party, they would surely be
instrumental in bringing many TO the
light, and that foolish and evil thing
called standpattism would soon dis
appear and there would be more light
