ment of Business
WILL DISPOSE OF
CLOTHING, DRY GOODS

There will be no change in the bust
ness policy OF the Edward II. Bren-
nan Estate. No. 219-221 Market street,
II Is announced. as the result of the
acquisition of the estate by John Lind
say and Joseph A. Tucker who have
recently purchased the business, ex-
cept the change in name, which. from
now on, will be the Lindsay Tucker
Company. Edward II. Brennan, Jr.,
who has conducted the business for
the past six years for the heirs of the
morning that the transfer of the Bren-
nan business interests was made with
more than the ordinary business con-
sideration. IL being a matter of pride
on the part OF the heirs of the estate
that they have been able to dispose
OF the business founded by Mr.. Bren-
nan and built up under his manage
ment, TO parties whom they feel will
carry it on with the same business
care that distinguished the conduct
OF Affairs In the past.
The consideration for the transfer
is not named. Practically all old EN-.
Dloyes of the store are retained. Mr..
Lindsay said this morning that while
there probably would be no change in
the business it was likely it would be
advisable In the near future to make
some engagements and that the dry
goods and clothing business would be
closed out to make room for addi
tional stocks OF furniture.
The Brennan store is one Of the
oldest and most prominent furniture
stores in Wilmington, having been
founded in 1881 by Edward II. Bren-
nan and having been built up through
years of care and personal exertiol
by him. Many OF the present EN-
ployes have been associated with the
concern for many years.
Both Mr.. Lindsay and Mr. Tucker
have been associated with NJ. Megary
& Son Co, Mr.. Lindsay for fifteen
years nd Mr.. Tucker for eighteen
years.
Mr.. Lindsay also was assistant man
ager of Megary and Son for the past
eight years. Both men have had wide
experience In the furniture business
as statesmen and in other departments
and both have large circle of friends
in the city. The Brennan store not
only is one OF the oldest and best
known stores OF the kind in Whining
ton, but II also is one OF the best To-
Gated, occupying as Il does, wide
front on lower Market street, with
show rooms running through from
Market TO Shipley street
The store is we'll equipped with fur
niture OF all kinds. The disposal Of
the dry goods and clothing is one
change contemplated, the intention
being to carry out but one more Of
the business hopes OF the late Mr..
Brennan in making the store exclu-
sively one for carrying on the furni-
ture business. The special sale Of the
dry goods and clothing will be an
nounced in a few days.

A Paying Partner

Edwin A. Walton, advertising manager
of large Detroit manufacturing COM
pany, speaking on The Correct Atti-
tude Toward Advertising" told the
travelling statesmen that too many of
them have regarded advertising as
highly mysterious and of very doubt
full value" He declared that effective
advertising was the silent partner in
the successful business career of every
salesman.
Advertising is a poor closer, but a
mighty good opener" he said. Let US
use it to open mems minds in prepa-
ration for our calls. Advertising can
influence million minds at once, at the
cost of from few cents down to the
decimal part OF cent each. The mis-
sion of advertising is to take the bur-
den of educational work off the shoul-
ders of the salesman and enable him
TO start IN nearer to the order"

Wars War On Drink
IHterarY DigeSt. ]

One of the important results of the
war, it is predicted, will be that the
drink evil will come to be universally
regarded as a rational problem which
must be given more serious attention. 8"
Since il has been found that a sense Of
national danger can enforce drastic
prohibition, We see that legislation can
do more than many people suppose in
the suppression of evils flowing from
the use of liquor. More important
than laws, however, are seen TO be the
preventive measures that have sprung
into force, such as the individual
canteen,' not mere substitutes for the
saloon, but places where wholesome
food may be bought and where the
social instincts of the average man
may find an open field of innocent ac-
tivity; not so high as to break contact
with everyday life, but high enough to
provide something more than mere
animal atifcation--simple comforts
that make, if indirectly, for the better
things of heart and mind" Such con-
clusions, formulated by DR.. Joseph H.
Crooker in The Christian Register,
Boston, are derived from an exami-
nation of the parliamentary White
Paper" issued by the British govern
ment, giving the results of its investi-
cation, through its representatives at
foreign courts, into the new regu-
lations respecting the use of liquor
since the Great War began.

France to Buy Direct
Newspaperdom.1 ]

A suggestion of the large foreign
trade which will come to the United
States as soon as the war is ended
comes through the announcements of
the French Society for Commercial
Development, whose agent. DR.. Arnaud
RosenJhal. has just completed an
American tour. This is a 800, 900, 900
company. organized TO buy'at first hand
IN the United States eliminating all
middlemen and brokers, and selling
direct to French merchants, guaran-
teeing the goods and carrying those
business men who cannot pay cash.
The society will build a line of steam
ships that will sail direct from United
States ports to those of France. There
will no longer be the stop in England
with the English commission to pay.
Plans for these vessels are already
under way and before the end of the
war the first OF them will probably
arrive in New York.
DR.. Rosenthal said: "I have made
arrangements for the products of the
great natural resources of the United
States in every city visited. In New
Orleans I arranged for cotton and oil
and other products of the southern
portion of the country. In Pittsburgh
I arranged for iron and steel, and here
have made arrangements for the
products that look to this port for
their natural outlet. have been very
pleased with my treatment all over the
United States, and found that every
where manufacturers were looking for
ward. as we in France do, to the re-
establishment of permanent trade after
the war"

WASH THE STREETS

TN his annual report the Street
! Cleaning Commissioner of New
York City emphasizes the extent
to which the streets are being flushed
both as a permanent cleanliness meas
ure and as an aid to fighting the in
fantile paralysis epidemic. At present
all streets in congested sections are
crease in the area flushed daily is so
per cent.
How employees OF the department
act as ''housekeepers" of the city is
shown by a calculation that each one
cleans house for 1905 persons, thirty
seven horses and twenty-three auto
mobiles several times a day. The re-
port also shows that there was an in
crease OF 1858, or SO per cent. in
the number of automobiles in Man.
haitian, The Bronx and Brooklyn, and
no increase at all in the number of
horses over the previous year. There
are 9,362 more buildings than last
year in the three boroughs.
The report tells OF the departments
publicity work to get the public to do
more of its own cleaning up. This
publicity is done by a citizens COM
mittee, through addresses and dis
tributing literature. There is also a
Juvenile league in 400 of the public
schools.
During 1915 there were s1s fewer
complaints by citizens against street
cleaning employees than in 1915. For
the same period the report shows
5.s51 arrests for street littering and
general untidiness. OF these. 4.759
were fined and received short SEN
tences. The fines totaled s5,O25, and
in addition $500 warnings were
given.
These figures show the Importance
Of flushing and cleaning the streets
of any city. Harrisburg has had a
reputation for several years of keep
ing its streets remarka bly, clean. but
in view of the epidemics prevailing
elsewhere it would seem to be wise
for our Department of Highways, in
cooperation with the Department of
Public Safety, to flush the streets and
keep them as clean as possible. We
have abundant water here and there
should be no hesitation in washing
the streets and keeping them so clean
that disease would be practically abol-
ished.

A Water Playground

Il rom InG hdnSdS City star.
With the 100000 voted for the Blue
river Improvement now available il is
not too soon TO hope that the engineer
ing department has some plan OF what
is proposed to be done ready for public
inspection. 1t is not expected that the
Blue into all that the public imagina.
tion has pictured. But whatever is
done now ought to be done with that
picture in mind and in the expectation
that II will some day be n reality.
If the Blue river wasn't already here
1t would pay Kansas City to dig 1t. 1t
would then be made what it now ought
to be--a locked. damned and parked
the Missouri river. It seems incredible
that the opportunity to add this pic
turesque water course to KANSAS City's
park system-which. of all things, needs
lected. It is. kansas Citys one Chance
TO provide this much needed detail in
its out Of doors attractions. The whole
stretch of the Blue for something like
groynd. aftording boating, bathing,
other sports. and skating in winter
Whatever is now done should be the
this final result in view The Stream
and its banks should be under the juris-
dtction of the park board, and action
should be taken that will prevent the
purposes. That ought to. be first step
Unless it is taken the development of
the stream may at any time take a di-
rection that will defer and make i'm
bonds to make start on the work the
public has shown its desire to utilize
the Blue as something more than an
open sewer. There Is a great opportu-
nifty now to make beginning on a COM
prehenstve plan.
