 The ordinary persons idea Of credit is very vague They believe that it Is something that rich business men and gigantic corporations use for con venience in their business and that no one else is given the opportunity of enjoying the advantage credit brings
 Once upon time this was true, but nowadays in Bridgeport credit is something that everyone no matter whether they have a bank account or not can make use of. It was de- vised and extended to people by Cae- sar Misch. Inc, who believed that everyone should have the same op- portunityz to buy clothing of depend able quality and designed by the best manufacturers at prices which were as liberal as cash prices Starting in on it's policy many years ago this Credit Clothing house has steadily won people over to this idea, for all who have tried have found that it has brought them untold advantages which they never dreamed of having before.
 Cheerful Credit is not exclusive but can be enjoyed by all who will take the trouble to ask for it. and those users of this system it brings the very latest New York styles in such tre- mendous variety that a trip to this store is like shopping on Fifth ave- .nue. For Saturday an especially at tractive program has been arranged of bargains in every department, A full announcement of which is made in tonight's paper.

The volume oil business IN the coffee mar.
was small. total sales for the day aSgre-
eating only 1900 bags; but the undertone was
steady and final quotations were 3 to 10 points
above the fnal of Saturday. There appeared
to be very lew orders either way and the AL
vance was due more to a scarcity of offerings
than to any change in the general situation
or an active demand. The market was so
narrow that prices responded very quickly to
orders either way. and II was thought that II
would not have required. very many ceiling
orders to have reversed the trend OF values.

Did you ever notice that you
never see full page advertisements
of the Ford automobile in big So
called National magazines, but that
in nearly every country weekly
you pick up there is Ford dealer S
ad. Do you know also that there
are nearly as many Fords sold as
all the others. Mr.. Ford's idea in
this advertising scheme is that he
wants the people who know his
dealer to read his ads in their home
paper, rather than in some big
magazine at 100000 per page,
which must ultimately be tackled
on the price of the car.-Ex.
