CHICAGO BRANCH WILL ADD
EIGHT GOODRICH STORES

The opening of thirty-eight new
stores throughout the United States
has just been announced by Mr.. w.
o. Rutherford, General Sales Manager
of the B. F. Goodrich Company,
Akron, Ohio.
Eight of these, Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Davenport, Iowa, Lincoln
Neb., will come under the jurisdiction
of the Chicago branch and service to
greatly increase the importance of
the local division of the Goodrich
sales organization.
In announcing this important move
Mr. Rutherford said I'VE have fit
for some time the necessity of adding
to the facilities of our Chicago
Branch and this extension is not only
due to a substantial growth of our
business in these cities but rather
to the optimistic view of our Com
pany with reference to the future of
the automobile and rubber industries
This is in keeping our well defined
policy to be as close as possible to
the final point of distribution of our
products"
| In commenting upon this announ-
cement. Mr. E. p. Rowen Local
Branch Manager said:- while these
stores are intended to act only as a
source of supply to the various deal
ors in their territories, they will at
the same time, give these dealers and
their customers the advantage of
that close contract with the factory
organization that is necessary to
promote and maintain absolute sat
isfaction. All of the thirty-eight
managers and their assistants have
| just completed an eight weeks course
in our Educational Department at the
factory under Mr.. A. Koehler, and the
instruction they received covers
every detail in our established
methods of doing business, as well
as to familiariZe them with our vari-
Gus products and the sales policies
that apply to them.
In the Chicago Branch territory
these stores will have as managers
and assistants w. E. Propst and NJ.

TAKING A SHORT RECESS

Hon. II. j. Mantz, who has been
at Des Moines since the first week in
January serving in the lower house
OF the legislature, came home Sun
day to look after business matters.
The legislature has adjourned until
March sixth when it will reconyepe
and shortly afterward will act on the
road bill that is now attracting so
much attention. Mr.. Mantz has been
voing right on the measures so far
presented and all trust that he will
vote against the Pitt-Johnston bill.
The Elwood bill is much to be pre-
ferred for under that bill Iowa could
take advantage of the federal aid and
use 1t in addition to a like sum which
would be avilable with buying ad-
ditional taxes.

feature of the Womans Club and this
year the program has every prospect
of eclipsing former efforts. In the

feature of this well balanced program

by two young ladies in pretty fancy
costumes.

your parish will receive a much
larger share of the benefit to be
derived therefrom. 1t is not our
desire to raise any assessments
this year on account Of the high
tax rates, but as soon as millage
rate can be reduced we will place
the assessments something like
what is correct without increasing
burdens on the people.
Unless your parish is free of
heavy local or special taxes, do
not undertake to follow values
this board might fix for state pur-
poses, otherwise you will materi-
ally increase taxes on your people.
We desire to give you this timely
thought for your consideration.
We shall just a little later visit
your parish and will be pleased
to discuss with the jury any mat
