Crisfeld Cafe Growing;
Big Business Increase

Under the personal management
OF w. T. Parks and Son, the Cris-
field Cafe has grown considerably
in the past year. Different improve
ments have been added from time to
time that has been for the better
ment of this restaurant and for the
customers who have learned that
this is one of the best eating houses
in the city.
The kitchen of this establishm ent,
which is really the backbone of any
restaurant, is as sanitary and cleanly
kept as many homes and more so
than a large number. 1t is in the
kitchen that all the good things are
prepared and of necessity this place
must be as clean and cleaner than
the main eating room. Modern ap-
pliances connected with the best kind
of help, turn out well-cooked sani-
tary food.
In the dining room, tables are set
for the ladies as we'll as gentlemen.
There is an extraordinarily large
ladies' trade at this restaurant. All
the conveniences for the quick and
ample service rendered are right
at hand. The general outlay makes
this a chummy and homelike eating
house.

Small Overhead Expense
Makes Prices Lower

Everyone practically is aware of
the fact that in speaking of business
of any kind, the larger the amo cunt
of sales the less the overhead ex-
pense pro rata sale. This is a big
help reducing the cost of goods when
sold retail. The average general
merchandise store usually found in
the smaller boroughs and towns are
conducted alonng these lines. In
selling nearly everything that is
needed in the home they cover the
field that would require at least q
half dozen stores, and have but one
overhead expense.
In figuring profit and loss, Mr..
Merchant has to consider rent, help,
delivery service, etc. In the general
store, the store that takes the place
of half dozen stores, this is only
figured once, so it stands to reason
that goods can be sold on q cheaper
scale and still maintain the same
standard quality.
s. A. Fishburn, the Penbrook mer-
chant, conducts just such a store.
The price he maintains will stand
the test when equaling those of other
stores and the same quality goods.
Practically everything that is need
ed in the home is carried in this big
store.
Besides the general merchandise
business, Mr.. Fishburn sells -four
and feed, grain, cement and bricks.
He also has trucks with which he
does hauling. In fact Mr.. Fishburn
can supply you with most anything
you want from house and lot to a
box of matches.

Butterine in Use For
Nearly Fifty Years

In 1869 or 1870 when butter was
scarce in France, Napoleon III Of
fered a prize for a substitute and in
the later year the prize was won by
Monsieur Mcgee Mouries, a French
chemist. In analyZing milk, this
chemist found that it contained
quantities of beed fat; he reasoned
naturally that If beef fat made milk,
milk made cream, cream made but
ter; finally that beef fat would make
butter. Thus the first butterine, or
oleomargarine which is The legal
name, was made. Since that time
men have stT1ven INCREASINGLY to i'm
prove on the commodity and have
succeeded so wonderfully that to-
day it is a difficult matter to distin-
guish between oleomargarine and
the real creamery butter.
"Butterine is not a makeshift for
butter" writes Mary j. Mcclure in
the Housewives Revised Creed, but
is a separate and distinct product
having merits of it's own. 1t is a
com bination of the essential food
fats of our everyday diet, and has
the approval and recommendation
of such famous food experts as DR..
Harvey Wiley, Prof. Henry Morton,
Prof. Paul Swietzer and many 9TH
ers, all of them being chemists and
food authorities"
l.. G.. Martin, the uptown grocer,
has n large trade in oleomargarine.
He handles the famous Nut-made
and White Flyer brands. These are
indeed first-class and economical
substitutes, if one wants to call them
that, for butter.

Many Housewives

The corner grocery store comes

tory to meal time. How often Mrs.
Jones says, ooh, 1 forgot to get
sugar, or 1 forgot to get Coffee" or
some such articles, and then James
you run up to the store and get
loaf of bread and bar of soap"
Every day such little occurrences are
happening everywhere. No matter
how good a thinker you may be,
there are times when you will forget
some needed accessory to the daily
meal And many times company will
walk in unexpectedly and tie up your
plans for supper. Then is where the
corner grocery" comes in handy.
It's the corner grocery" that has
the stock on hand that meets this
demand. Everything, in staple and
fancy groceries must be handled in
order to eep the trade satisfied and
supply the demands of a community.
Such store is that of the EX-
cellent Grocery, at the corner of
Sixth and Boas streets. This store
is fully equipped to supply every
need of the housewife, from tooth
picks to olives. The prices main
tanned are all standard, and courte-
Gus treatment is accorded everyone
who deals there.

that lowly station he has risen to
become president of one of the larg-
est mining companies in the world,
He is also president of the Mon
tana Power Company, a public utili-
ties corporation, the organization
and direction of which is said to have
been ever a greater achievement
than the Anaconda.
Mr.. Ryan also heads the United
Metals Selling Company and is III
rector in half a score of railway COM
panies and financial institutions. He
is a man of few words, but when he
indulges in one of his rare opinions
he speaks with the authority of a
man who knows his subject. In the
copper industry no man is more re-
spected in Wall Street.
It has been said of Mr.. Ryan that
his great success in life has been
in putting things together, reorganiz-
ing and, consolidating. These are the
very traits needed in the man who is
to, successfully administer the vast
aircraft program laid down by the
American government and expected
by all the allied nations.

For Nation

Washington, April 25.-John D.

ganizations, was yesterday named, as
director of aircraft production for
the United States Army. He is ex-
pected to vitalize airplane construc-

fuse life into the national shipbuild-
ing program.
Thus another of the country's self
made captains of industry mas

ton in it's hour of need. Mr.. Ryan
is not so well known to the general
public as Mr.. Schwab, but in 1nan-
cial circles he is recognized as a ge-
MUS of organization, man of big
ideas, wide vision and forceful en-
ergy.
In the reorganization in the War
Department which accompanies the
appointment of Mr.. Ryan all mat
ters pertaining to aircraft production
are taken out of the hands of the
United States Signal Corps. Major
General Squiers is retained as chief
signal officer, but an official an

attention to the administration of
signals" which means field tele-
graphs. telephones and wireless sta
tions.
