disc business. The prices are uni

They do business on an absolutely
cash basis, and make no deliveries,
thus eliminating two items that add
quite materially to the overhead ex-
pense. The Golden Rule stores car
ry complete line of dry goods, ladies'
ready-to-wear suits, coats and gar
ments, shoes, mems and boys clothing,
gents furnishings, in fact everything
handled by the ordinary department
store, with the exception of groceries
and hardware.

Gladstone Never Prime Minister.

Gladstone would probably have pro-
tested If any official document had de-
scribed him as one Of the principal Sec
retaries of state. for he was keen on
correctness in such matters. When CIV
ing evidence in Il trial he was asked
whether he was first lord of the treas
ury. He demurred at once to this de-
scription and explained that he was
one of the commission for executing
the office Of lord high treasurer, "and
I believe my name stands first on the
list" In the same way it could be ar
gued that Gladstone was never prime
minister, for that post was first recog-
nized officially eight years after his
death. Sir Robert Walpole told the
house Of commons that he claimed no
such title, and Lord North would not
permit its use even In his own family.

KISSELKAR COMPANY
WORKS FOR CAR COMFORT

"The call for extreme comfort
quiet. convenience and refinement in
motor cars makes one wonder why
in the old horse-drawn carriage days,
there was so comparatively little al
vance in respect 10 the details Says
H. S. Daniels, of the KisselKar.
Contrast the deep cushion-tired,
wide-spring. thickly upholstered
'pussy-footing' automobile. with the
iron-shod. noisy, hard riding horse
drawn buggy; yet the latter used to
be a luxury
why was there so little improve
ment in coach building then? The
easy reply would be that the people
were not so particular, but that an
swer is not complete. If they called
for less luxury, it was because they
had not been educated to the present
conception of It.
"In these days advertising is the
basis of nearly every successful man.
ufacturing business and naturally
each manufacturer strives to adver-
tise something better than his rivals.
That is why he is constantly endeav-
oring to build into his product new
and better features to distinguish it.
Reading Of these creates a desire for
them. Modern advertising methods
therefore are primarily responsible
for the higher standards OF taste and
living that now prevail"

The actual number Of owners COW

The number of makers is 81.
The total of owners registering

lowance for foreign registrations in
the grand total, this figures close to
40 per cent for this city. in the

The proportion of the lower
priced cars is probably greater in the
State than in this city, where they
make up about so per cent. OF the
total.
On this basis. an average of $1,000
per car is not far out Of the way. and
would represent an original outlay
Of at least 100000 for Wilmington
