ATTEMPT
TO BURN
HOME OF
THE NIGHT
/ MARSHAL

An attempt was made by incendia-
ries about IL o'clock Friday night to
burn Jerry Moran's house at S11 FIT
teenth street and 1t only failed be-
cause of the promptness of the de-
partment in responding to an alarm
sent in by Albert Rule, who happen
ed to be passing the place at the time.
Mr.. Rule had been attending a meet
ing at the Odd Fellows home and was
walking along the street when his at.
tention was attracted to blaze in.
side the building which convinced
him that firebugs had been at work.
He ran to the nearest signal box and
turned in an alarm which brought
the fire department to the scene in
short order and the flames were ex-
tinguished before any very serious
damage was done.
Investigation showed that the house
had been broken into and set on fire
in two places; one Of them under the
stairway and the other in the wall.
Where lhe piasteiiH6 ndu DceA Shhaon
ed In for the purpose Of giving it a
good start. There was nobody at
home at the time. Mr.. Moran being
on duty in town as night marshal
and his wife being away. There had
been no fire in any of tho stoves in
the house since February. The prop
erty was insured. AS far as can be
ascertained there is no clue to the
identity Of the incenaiaries.

DO PEOPLE READ
ADS? YES! FACT is
PROVEN CONCLUSIvELy

Some merchants have an argument
which they like to put forth In that,
"The people do not read ads" That
this argument is a fallacy and that
the people in large numbers do read
every word Of various advertisements
has been conclusively proven by the
Novels Mercantile Company during
their big sale which closes today.
From day to day they have been
advertising. hour sales,' during
which time special bargains have
been given. Hundreds upon hundreds
OF people in this vicinity have crowd
ed into the store day after day to
take advantage Of the bargains and
to make their spring purchases.
That the patrons Of the store were
not after the special bargains alone
is evidenced by the statement OF Mr..
A. R. Novels, when he said to a
Record reporter. Our sales slips
and gross business indicate that the
people who have visited our store in
the past twenty-five days have not
only taken advantage Of the special
bargains which we offered but in a
large proportion they have taken ad-
vantage Of the other offerings in our
sale which includes everything We
carry"
The Novels store is Just closing
one Of the longest and most success
full sales ever held in Canon City,
despite the extremely bad weather
with which they have had to con-
tend. After the hour sales Friday
morning the store looked as II 1t had
been hit by a cyclone such was the
rush of the crowd which attended.
Frey and Collins, the progressive
merchants on the opposite corner
from Novels at Sixth and Main have
demonstrated time and again In their
regular and in their sales advertising
that people read advertisements be.
cause the response to their ads at DIFF
ferent times has been such AS to
prove conclusively that the people
had read them. The majority Of the
advertising Of both stores is placed
