MARLEY co,

Coming from Darlington where he
was for years the beading merchant.
C. c.. Chaffee has for nine years
maintained the position of being one
OF the most progressive and aggres-
sive business men in Valley City. Al
ways after new ideas and innovations
that will satisfy the public he has
brought into the city's business life
many of the most important features
of which it can today boast.
One of the popular working plans
that have been put into effect at the
Chaffee store, and one which COM
mands answering from the employees,
is the profit sharing and cooperative
plan in force there. There is scarce
ly a clerk who has been with Mr..
Chaffee for any length of time who is
not a stakeholder in the firm, thus
insuring a continuously increasing in
come and fidelity to the corporation.
Mr. Chaffee has built up his bust
ness along lines that will admit of
the closest investigation until today
he has one of the largest and clean
est, as we'll as best managed stores
in North Dakota. -. II.
While the store is rated as a de-
partment store it makes specially
of womens' and childrens' furnish
ings, handling only the guaranteed
lines, thereby insuring the purchaser
full value for all money spent here,
Among some of the brands sold are
the Gossard, Kabo, and Memo Cor
sets and the Queen Quality Shoes.
Within the past few months Mr..
Chaffee has secured the services of T.
s. Calhoun of st. Paul to take charge
of the dry goods department and as
sures his patrons that Mr.. Calhoun is
thoroughly competent to look after
their interests as well as the stores.
He comes with the highest of recon-
mendation sfrom his former associ-
ates.

they call them musical comedies" because they
tain neither comedy music. BY this token,
suppose they call them lobster palaces because of
the marked absence of Holsters and paata features.
Obviously of these metropolitan restaurants is
somewhat more elaborate than quick lunch of
the automatic eating places where you drop nickel in
the slot for cup of coffee and get piece of apple pie;
but have grave doubts that the dining hall of Windsor

But otherwise like the last part of the old ostrich riddle
"What is it that tall and has feathers and sticks its

probably added just to make it harder
According to a seemingly widespread and encompass
ing belief lobster is very sporty and gay piece of
food. 1t to stand for dissipation, spendthrfts,
fast e and all that of thing. According to popular
morality, Holsters fghtfully immoral in the follow
ing order:

degradation the wreckng of banks the beating of the
wife, and the breaking up of the home the part of

cost just much lobster in the condition of
servitude and surroundings; but nobody stigma

more, as does also a fried chicken Maryland, Nal
lard duck, reedbrds, or any good steak. But when
writer sightseer wants to indicate extravaganza do
you ever hear him refer to Chicken palace

always reminds me of line of good friend of mine
and fellow sympathizer "A tenderloin steak costs
twice much lobster, even if it sounds only half

For those who want figures, may further defend the
morality and economy of the lobster by stating from the
menu of so-called lobster palace that where half

Two years ago brought down my head
lanche of comment for having been bold to declare
that people often actually went into Broadway
restaurant because they hungry and wanted
to buy something to eat. This statement
bordering anarchy, supreme lese majesty.
Who had ever heard of such thing? Was not
trying to kill one of Broadway's pet traditions
or, should say, one of the eoanry's pet Broad

D Cne o the most popular delusions that we
y continually running up against is that
/, Broadway restaurant, to succeed, must first and
foremost look well to its acoustic properties, SO
that the popping of corks may be heard dis
tinctly. This popping of corks' is popularity
supposed to be one of the headline features of
the "lobster palace Everybody is supposed to
be drinking champagne all occasions in all
circumstances, and all the time As matter Of
fact, if this true. the owners of the lobster
palaces would deposit in their respective banks
at least million dollars profit apiece each year.
Delusion number two is that every second
table is occupied by millionaire and his chorus

THE man who invented the phrase lobster palace"
must be the same fellow who called Gran
ford, New jersey the 1Venice of America The
fact that YOU can buy seafood in well lighted and
decenty decorated Broadway restaurant undoubtedly
struck him as being just remarkable sensational and
novel the fact that in the little Jersey town question
a river flows down what would otherwise have been

known through ghout the land lobster palace ism

a muddy little stream, couple of rowboats and two
hundred overenthlsiastic inhabitants make Venice.
Every time pick up magazine newspaper de-
failing at imposing length descriptions of the gay lite
and @maestrom of Broadway society that prevail IN
what the writer's call the @lobster palaces of New York,
/ feel like the little newsboy who went to see Sarah
Bernhardt act.
When the famous French actress playing her
lengthy repertoire in New York year ago, one of the
dramatic critics thought he'd like to how the folk
up in the gallery taking the performance He lett
his seat the ground floor during the second act OF
@Camle, went up to the gallery, and took seat IN the
last row. Right in front of him. so the story told
to me, sat little kid. The critic noticed
that the youngster kept his eyes nveted on the
stage, cupped his face in his hands, and sat there
mmovable, wrapped in the deepest attention
The critic interested. Thought he, Here
is the proof of Bernhardt's amazing talent! See
how she chains this boys attention to her
work! Talking in French, language that the
boy can't even vaguely understand, and yet she
holds him! Wonderful wonderful Thus did
the critic runrnate And, when the curtain fell
the act, the critic bent forward touched the ,
lad on the shoulder, and said, "A great perform
ance, isn't it, my boy?" To which the kid re- i
piled, "Sure Boss; but which of them guys
is Bernhardto"
In the way, after paying deep attention (,
to the articles l read, | always feel like asking t.
the men who wrote and write them which dob I.

owned or managed a couple of them myself; but
I'll be gosh dinged if l can pick OUT In the
elegant speech of the renowned Mrs. Harris
There amt no such thing.
To begin at the beginning, have never been
able to understand why lobster was chosen as

named lobster palaces, We get orders for ten
