Service direct from the factory to
the customer, eliminating the jobbers'
commission, is the feature of the pol
icy of this store, where will be shown
all the latest styles produced in the
big St. Louis factories. Operated in
this manner, the stock will be kept
fresh and up-to-the-minute all the
time. The company's leading lines
are the Buster Brown shoes for chill
dren, from which the store gets its
name, the Maxine shoes for women
and the White House styles for men,
An interesting indication of the
size of the Brown Shoe company's fac
tories and the excellence of their
product is to be seen in the fact that

French and English armies with

Office OF n,arkets and rural organiza-

keting business practice, especially as
1t affects cooperative enterprises.
The Office also is looking carefully
into problems OF transportation and
storage, is scrrJinlZing closely the
possibilities OF tie pa"cai post and
express as direct marketing agencies,
and is making a survey of city mar
keting and distribution as now con-
Quoted.
In addition to these general mar
ketlng questions, the Office, in its in
vestigational work, has taken up
problems relating to the marketing
of a number of specific commodities
of Importance which involve factors
not encountered in the general mar
keting projects. The marketing of
live stock, meat, and animal by-prod-
ucts is being studied under one such
project. The marketing of dairy
products is the subject of another
project; Investigations also are being
made of the special problems of grain
marketing and OF the handling, mar
keting, and utilization of cotton and
its by-products.
In taking up this work the office
of markets and rural organization
has entered virgin field in so far as
governmental activities are con-
cerned. 1t has found, also, that prac-
tically no broad investigational work
has been done heretofore in the mar
keting field even by individual inves-
tigators and students. The Office has
found it necessary. therefore, to feel
its way carefully into the new fields,
shaping its investigational machinery
and it's plan of action as it proceeds.
The Office is pursuing its work
with the recognition that analyses of
processes, recommends
as to their most advantageous use,
and suggestions as to improvements
can be valuable only after patient
and careful research and observation
produce data sufficient to permit a
rlear understanding of all sides of the
problems. AS a result
Of the hearty ro-operation whirh has
ben given by farmers. shipping asso-
and distributors. the Office
has accomplished important
results in some of the lines of work.
These will be treated in detail in sub
seqsent Numbers of the News Letter.

In the closing days Of the
campaign for nomination in the
Republican party, it is Of strik-
ing significance that William F.
Hite, of Huntington, candidate
for the United States senator
ship, is maintaining the favor
ed position he held in the be-
ginning. His candidacy was
popular at the start, and as the
people have learned more of
him it has grown stronger. They
liked in the beginning the digni-
ty and sincerity of his manner,
and they have liked all the way
through the admirable way in
which he has displayed these
qualities. This sterling Repub-
lican and thoroughly capable
business man is coming in
strong on the home stretch. And
it is because the people appre-
ciate the splendid qualities he
has displayed They know
that in him they will have a
worthy representative, capable
and eminently fair to all classes.
