Newlyweds numbering approx
mately $500 have been started out
on the paths Of matrimony by the
firm of A II. Heller Furniture Co,
since the Inauguration of the bust
ness a short seven and a half years
ago. according to estimates made
by the head of the firm who with
single salesman and driver opened
shop at the present entrance and
main room of the house.
Advertising the slogan, when
Heller Says It's Oak It's Oak and
backing up the advertisements with
quality goods service, is credited as
having lent that force which has
made for the success and growth of
the business. From the single room
the store has grown until IL spreads
over $4,000 square feet floor space
occupying the lofts OF three build
ings, and in the meantime the sales
force has grown from the single
clerk and solitary driver TO a total
force of 21. At the beginning of
the fourth year of the business on
Jan. IA, 1914, a portion Of the build
ing was wrecked while in the pro-
cess of remodeling. but eight months
later the building was opened to an

divisions may result in leaving the
present provision unchanged.
Except for the prohibition drive,
nothing was in sight tonight to pre-.
vent passage Of the measure tomor-
row in the house and the outlook In
the senate for quick action also was
considered good.
Promising plans for compromises

caused Chairman Gore Of the aEricu-
ture committee and Senator Cham
berlain in charge of the bill. to ex'
press belief that it would be ready for
conference by July I. the date by
which President Wilson urges that
the legislation should be enacted.
Among amendments presented to-
day was one proposed by Senator
Gore, proposing that retail and whole
sale prices of bread. -four and other
foods be proclaimed by the president
and that prices Of steel. coal. oil. farm
implements. fertilizers. meats and
clothing usually worn by wage earn:
ers. be fixed by the federal trade COM

Chairman Lever expressed himself
as we'll pleased with the bill In its
amended form.

he said. Most OF the changes made
thus far bring the bill back to the

range of the American GunnerS.
When 500 yards from the steamer
