Home GAMES
Of The High SChOOl..Foot Ball
Team

The locals are practicing hard this
week for the game with North High
on next Saturday. The North Captain
was in Newark to see the game there
and that fact is squirting the boys on
to tighten up at the points In which
they showed themselves weakest at
that time, for undoubtedly North will
plan her attack at those points.
The home team is up against the
stiffest schedule ever played here and
it is doubtful if any High School
team in the state will face such a
schedule, The season ticket includes
six games, Including the Thanksgiv-
Ing game with the Chillicothe High
school team which is being coached
by Mr.. Christman, last years basket
ball coach for Mt. Vernon,
The lineup of home games is as
follows:

ENCOMIUM
Of Dry Goods Economist On
The DOWdS Booklet

The Dry Goods Economist, the most
prominent publication connected with
the dry goods trade has the following
words of encomium on a booklet re-
Gently issued by the A. A. Dowds Dry
Goods company of this city:
Attractive Booklet
A. A. Dowds Dry Goods Co., Mt.
Vernon, O.-Store booklet of IL pages
and front and back cover, Az in. by
Z inches, printed on tinted stock and
entitled, store Policy"
This title is a very apt one, in view
of the theme of the booklet, dealing
as 1t does with the Dowds Co. s meth
ods in the matter of its goods and their
values, its attitude towards its GUS
toners and other important features
of its general policy.
A good idea of the contents of the
book may be gained from a few of
its headings and paragraphs, for ex-
ample: Reliability. We want you to
feel that you are dealing with relia.

Another caption is Good Value,
with this paragraph I'VE aim to sell
dependable Merchandise at the lowest
possible price consistent with good
quality"
Courtesy" Under this important
head are several very pertinent sen
tences. Here is the first:
We believe there is something
more to running store than pass
ing out goods over the counter and
taking in the money.
There is enough meat in that sub
ject for an entire booklet
Progressiveness' is another cap
ton, with these two sentences
The store is modern in every
respect. Broad aisles, more day
light than any other store in this
community, electric lights, eleva-
tor, electric fans, sanitary drink
ing fountains and all modern

toners make this pleasant place
in which to shop
"Progressiveness" is followed by

ers." Here, too, is a theme for tn
whole booklet. Space permits, how
ever, to quote only the opeing ser
tence:
One reason why we are so sue
cessful Is that we know the needs
