Besides being a successful automo-
bile manufactures, Henry Ford, of
Detroit, seems to be asuccessful max
er of men. Five habitual drug users
and victims of alcohlism who were
sent to New York from Detroit for
treatment have returned to Detroit
apparently freed of their cravings
and ready to make new start in
life. The opportunity to do which
will be afforded them by Mr.. Ford.
No man has ever been discharged
from the Ford factory because he
was victim of alcoholism, it is
said, and its owner has long sought
to evolve method whereby the un-
fortunates could be given a chance to
conquer their vice and raise them
selves to an equal footing with their
fellow employees. Mr.. Ford is firm
believer in helping his men to help
themselves. Like Abou Ben Adam,
he seems to be one who loves his fell
low men. May his tribe increase.

Successors to Bush & Malande, the

the point where it can size up the

Der of old firm, is still connected with
the present one. A full stock of fancy
and staple groceries is the basis of
the business, though many sidelines
and specialties are kept on hand to
meet the varied demand. One of the
most extensive departments on this
order is that of chinaware, glassware
and crockery. Here is indeed lavish
and elaborate stock from which to
choose. This is the agency for the

be seen at glance, and many are
the individuals who come in with the
intent of purchasing only one thing,
discover that there are many other
kinds of goods which they secure here
instead of going still further. A

sacrifice one desirable quality to an
other. The aim is at magnihcently

tiles and all that they imply. But in
addition, unfailing courtesy is the in
