We mean by character, the one thing a
man builds every day of his life by his
every act. Character has been defined
as human nature in its best FORM as
moral order embodied in the individual.
Character means this: ALWAYS TRY

This very desirable asset-character

widely from a suit Of clothes It can

No Sign of Disturbance.

So far as retail business being af feeted by the present political cam paign, we can see no reason why there should be depression of any sort The political situation has got ten into such shape that, in our opin- ion. trade conditions cannot be ser iously affected, whatever the result of the election may finally be.
 So far as we are concerned, we are making out plans and buying goods on the assumption that we will have the biggest fall seasons busi- ness we have ever enjoyed, and from this corner of the continent there IS no indication of any disturbance aris- ing on this account.

Business Put Above Politics.

We are just now in the midst Of one of the busiest seasons in tine history of our organization. Hundreds of country merchants nave visited us during the past sixty days aud most all of our seventy travelling salesmen have also been in the market Mer- chants seem to be putting business above politics and this is also true of the travelling salesmen- In fact, if there is any politics being discussed out this way among business men. such discussions are taking place at the noon hour, or at such times when business cannot be transacted.
 Il seems to us that we are just fac ing an era of great prosperity, and we believe this will come in spite of the fact that the presidential election Fis at hand. Ne are buying and sell

That business has been divorced from politics is, with us, absolutely true. Our business demands every minute of our time. and we have no time to talk about politics, no matter how strong the inclination might be to do so.
 Conditions in this part of the eoun- try are better than they have been since the panic. but they never have been bad with us This immediate action has so many diversified inter- ests that it is almost impossible to affect them all adversely at the same time
 There has not been year since 1905 that our business has not in creased over the preceding year; and this year of 1912 is showing an in- crease of s5 per cent. in some of our departments over the year 1911. ANBERSoN-DULIN-VARNELL CO,

and the party that he represents will not do anything extremely radical or startling that will upset the business of the couHtry, consequently they are going ahead with their affairs, in tent on the belief that, whoever may be elected, we will have a sound and fairly conserva tive administration that will not jeopar1ize the business inter ests in general.
 It is needless for me to comment upon agricultural and manufacturing conditions. as it is q well known fact that general conditions at present as sure US of most bountifuI crops, and all reports from manufacturing indus tries are to the effect that they have more orders on hand at the present time for future delivery than they have had at any period during the past five years
 Personally, am of the opinion that there is nothing at present in sight to disturb the present feeling of secur- tty that exists in commercial circles, and everything indicates that we can look forward with assurance that we are going into period of excellent business conditions, which will give all of us who are capable and willing to work an opportunity to reap as bountiful rewards as during any per- fod in the past history of our country.

 There is a little more life to busi- ness. although. in large measure, the hand-to-mouth policy that has existed for so long is still in evidence. and buying is very conservative; and yet we have mere early orders than ever before We are urging our customers to arrange for early deliveries, as in dieations point to shortage in some lines of merchandise, and prices cer- tainiy will not De any lower.
 With prospects or bumper cereal and cotton crops. increasing railroad earn ings and the demand for labor, con- ditions seem right for an era of decid- ed improvement in all lines of busi- ness, and there is a general impress sion that we are at the beginning of better times.

Politics Cuts Small Figure.

Trade conditions in our locality arc entirely satisfactory to us. We find them really above normal for this time of the year. an dthe promise of good fall and winter season is most encouraging.
 The recent political conventions and the approach of the presidential cleo ton are cutting bu, little figure in present-day business.
 We suppose that our conditions, locally. which are bringing about bet ter hnsiness activity, are duplicated in most every community. It is true that Reading is most fortunate in the fact that she is the third manu- facturing city in Pennsylvania and that her manufactured :productions are 60 diversified tah teven under the most depressing circumstances there $ always 2 demand for a good portion of the output.
 But at the present time it is a fact that most of our manufacturers are from 6tl to % per cent back on orders X and til1t there's q genuine scarcit, of help hereabouts.

men are not worrying about politics The fact that merchandise is nov ing on a larger scale than ever shows that the people do not fear the result of tue election. and the political situa- tfoa does net affect their enterprises. Our own sales last month were the lareest of any iii the fifty-one years we are in business.
 It seems transportation lines, as we'll as manufacturers and merchants, are doing the limit of their capacity. If there is any complaint, it is pri- mariEy because of the scarcity Of la Dor and the limitation of capacity
 So long as these conditions exist, It is difficult to see how anything can prevent the country from entering up on a period of great prosperity.

Marked Improvement.

For the first time in oUr experi- ence We note that politics is playing a very small part, when we consider that this is a presidential year. Our business has shown marked inn provement since April, and, as the retail stocks are generally low throughout Ohio, we believe the job bing business will continue to inn prove.
 Bumper crops are now assured. and with fundamental conditions sound, the business of this country cannot help but be benefited by the increased wealth taken from the ground during the past sixty days

This may be some what due to the fact that the country in general is prosperous In the section that we. cover croBs are all good, factories are running full time, and men are all employed at good wages. As long as that con- dition exists there Is not any cause for worry as to who we will elect president.
