BUSINESS BUILT
UPON \ SOUND POLICY

Fred S. Lack, the merchant tailor
located at 26, % and 80 North
Dewberry street, this city. enjoys the
large number of the businessmen of
the city of Harrisburg and vicinity.
This confidence is founded upon a bus
mess policy that never fails If it is at
the same time combined with a thor
ough knowledge of the particular re-
quirements of the trade. When Mr..
Lack first started in business, he de-
termined that in his stock would al
ways be found the best and latest pat
terms he could possibly secure, and
with tailoring, reasonable prices and
perfect fit and satisfaction guaranteed
he felt sure that he would be able to
build UP a good business. AS a result
OF this policy Mr.. Lack has made many
customers who never think of looking
elsewhere for anything in his line.
knowing they will always get full value
Tor their money and will be told only
the truth regarding anything pur-
chased at this store.
through constant reaching out for
more extended purchasing fields and a
wider range of home trade, Mr.. Lack s
business has made great strides To
TINS end he has secured entire control
OF certain special patterns, as well as
purchasing suit patterns direct from
the mills, an advantage that accrues to
the benefit of the customer, as we'll as
to himself. Not only this, but he i'm
ports direct from Europe in large
quantities instead of taking their for
elgn-made goods from wholesalers in
this country. These facts have given
Mr. Lack standing and reputation of
which he is justly proud
Mr.. Lack is a tailor of experience
and his motto is perfect satisfaction or
no pay, which is an absolute assurance
to the customer. If you are contem-
plating purchasing a new suit or top
coat 1t will surely pay you to stop in
and have chat with Mr.. Lack and
have him show YOU his latest patterns
before placing your order.-Advertise-

STILL A GOOD JOB
Chauffcuring One of Best AH-Around
Positions for Ordinary Man

Here is proof that there is a greater
demand for chauffeurs now than ever
before-it is proof that sac week is
the average salary. The following ap-
peared in the September issue of Motor
Print. magazine devoted to auto
MODELLING. We don't ask you to take
our word when we say there are now
not half enough trained chauffeurs TO
so around. Read below what Motor
Prlnt says-then send us your appli-
cation and let us help you to get one of
these good jobs. Mr.. FELTON,, 27-29-3l
North Cameron street, this city, trains
and places great many Chauffeurs.
The demand for competent chauffeurs
continues unabated, and the avera ge
price for the labor of these men is
about the same as it has been for the
last three or four years. A good driver
gets on the average $120 a month for
his work. There are men who get as
low as s15 or SIS a week and others
who are paid anywhere from $40 to
500 a week, but the average in the
cities is nearer $50 a week.
Men who claim to know say that no
owner can expect to pay less than $125
per month for a really good man. A
capable and industrious chauffeur can
save a great deal of money for his en-
ployer. man who is salaried high
enough to take a keen interest in his
work will look out for things and will
keep car in such condition that ex-
penses of running it are bound to be
less.
1t is not exactly reasonable from the
standpoint of the chauffeur for an
owner to expect to get an experienced
driver and mechanic, the latter point
being the more important, for any
thing less than $40 a week
In New York some taXicab COM
panies pay men a fixed salary by the
week and they eke this out with their
tips One company, for instance, gives
its men $3.50 a week and the lucky
ones with tips of S1.25 to $3.50 a day
get more than $25 per week most OF
the time. There is a consistent and
steady demand for honest and able
men in the taXicab line.
The companies find a great deal of
difficulty in getting enough honest men
for the work.-Advertisem

TILE PROVES POPULAR
FOR USE IN RESIDENCES

Many persons building homes to-day
do not feel that the house is complete
without the use of tile in some place
or another. IT was only few years
ago, however, that the only tile work
found was around the fireplaces.
From here it worked its way to the
bathroom floor. and then to the walls
after short time people began to use
the tile floors in the vestibules. Dur
ing the past few years a great many
homes have been equipped with tile
floors and tile base in the kitchens. and
real estate dealers, building to sell,
have found this investment one that
brings better prices for the houses and
quicker sales.
1t is only within the last three years
that the use of tile has become so ex-
tensive in the better class of homes A
contract was started this weke by w.
S. Cunkle & Son, the mantle and tile
concern, located at 179 North Fifteenth
street, which calls for the floors
throughout the first floor of the house
with the exception of the kitchen and
pantry; the porches are tiled and also
the bathrooms.
The Cunkie concern has been rushed
with orders during the past month for
tile work in some of the finer resi-
dences that are now being erected.
Some houses require tile on porches
and bathroom; others are being
equipped with tile floors in the bath
room, lavatory, porch and vestibule;
and several stores are having the en-
trance laid with mosaic tile with the
owners name inserted. Taken all to-
gether, it shows that tile is coming
more into general use every day, and
If you are contemplating building or
making alterations it might be well to
call on w. S. Cunkle & Son for sugges-
tions in this line.-Advertiseme

h. r. BARKER TELLS GOOD
PoIN4y OF HAYNES CARS

Tho mileage OF the old cars that
Haynes Automobile Company for the
Oldest Haynes car running in America
has served to indicate that a weIl-con-
structed automobile will run indefinite
ly with only a reasonable amount of
care" says B. F. Barker, of the Miller
Auto Company, distributor for the
Haynes Light Six"
"one four-cylinder Haynes car. that
left the factory in 1909, has run up a
mileage of 100000, in all sorts of
weather, and in pleasure and passenger
service. A comparatively large num-
Der of the two and four-cylinder cars
have averaged in the neighborhood of
100000 miles. and in many cases a share
of this mileage represents slow going
delivery work and trucking.
In the instance of the older two
cylinder automobiles some OF which
have been running fourteen years or
more. 1t is very hard to obtain definite
figures. The cars were manufactured
before reliable speedometers were
known or even made. In some instances,
the speedometers have been removed
to operate for pleasure purposes.
These old Haynes cars have been in
practically every town and village that
American roads reach. crossing deserts,
fording rivers, threading mountain
trails. pulling through the mud of the
plains, as well as seeing lighter service
on streets and boulevards Only the
care with which they were built can
account for their remarkable durabil-
ity.
Revolutionary factory methods, how
ever, have enabled manufacturers of
better grade automobiles to offer care
fully constructed cars at prices that
are one-half or one-third the figures of
ten years back.
Dollar for dollar the automobile
buyer gets twice the mileage and many
times the comfort of his neighbor
whose purchase is ten or even five years

ALLIES LEAVE As
FOE IS ARRIVING
As Troops Abandon Gallip0li German
Batteries are Landed in
Turkey.

Constantinople, Dec. 31,-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press -
The withdrawal of the allied troops
on the Gallipoli peninsula has been
almost coincident with the arrival at
the Turkish front of heavy German
and Austrian batteries, which are so
formidable that the people of Con-
stantinOple believe there is no longer
the slightest doubt as to the ability OF
the Ottoman army to clear the PENN
sula of the invaders. Large shipments
OF ammunition for the Turkish artil-
lery also recently reached the Oar
danelles coast batteries ana the field
guns. and according to indications in
man troops are constantly increasing
their effectiveness in artillery fire.
During the last interview which the
Associated Press correspondent had
with Field Marshal Liman Won San
ders Pasha, the latter pointed out
that with sufficient artillery at his dis
posal the allied troops would find it
difficult to remain on the peninsula,
especially if their artillery was able to
keep the British and French men Of
war from coming too close to the coast,
AS pointed out in previous dispatch
es, the lack of sufficient artillery and
ammunition proved at times d sore
problem for the Turkish troops. The
Turkish artillery fire was always
weak, and the allied warships were
able to rake the Turkish positions
under the most calling fire without
running the slightest risk, except that
occasiOned by the presence OF German
submariuesi 1t was only occasionally
