high standards of business integrity and
that the company was q responsible
concern equipped to do what Il con-
tractcd To perform, and that the contract
into which the Engcl Aircraft Company
had entered with the government was
the usual contract entered into IN such
circumstances.
But tho SECRETARY said: II nevcrthe-
less realized that the situation had in
cvitable cmbarrassrnents IN 1t. ! there
upon called IN Gen Squler and directed
him in my name TO cancel the contract.
AT my request Mr.. Eugene Meyer, Jr.,
then went To Cleveland and discussed
the matter with the directors and my
brother. My brother generously resigned
from the company and arranged Tor the
termination of his financial interest III 1t
on the basis of the return to HIM OF his
actual cash outlay with interest, but
without profit, his only compensation
being for time actually devoted to the
affairs of the company on a reasonable
mon stock OF the company WAS returned
to the treasury of the company
The company had not begun the de-
livery of its product. My brothers with
drawal therefore takes place before any

Of the Home-Makers.
That's what makes q
furniture sale success
full; bringing the furni-
ture to the people;
bringing the people to
see the furniture.
Our February Furni-
ture Sale is already sue
cessful, in the prelimin-
ary interest it has
aroused. It will be more
so today, still more so
tomorrow. This is be-
cause more and more
people will come each
day to view and to pur-
chase the furniture, as
they realize more and
more the unusualness Of
the opportunity.
Visitors who attend
ed our Inspection Days,
experienced people,
already declare this to
be the largest and finest
collection of furniture
to be seen anywhere IN
America, and the low
est-priced, considering
quality. ;
The savings to the
purchaser represented
in the February repric-
ing range from 10 per
cent to 80 per cent. That
in itself would make
this Sale an important
event.
But it means even
more. 1t means savings
plus service.
The service will be
seen in the quality and
finish and detail Of
everything which the
Sale comprises, from
the tiny footstool to the
rich and exquisite din
ing-room suit of the
1t allan Renaissance
period.
C TX acresful of such
- furniture is a tidy
bit to set out, and to see
all in one day. For that
reason, if for no other,
every woman should see
it. Such a wonderful
variety! So much to
choose from if she is
buying. She can be of
$4,000 different minds
concerning h er pur-
chase and find a piece
here to suit each mind,
and she can save an
average of 33 per cent
on as many of the $4,000
pieces as she selects.
And the longer she
looks and selects, the
more thankful she is
that she is not her own
great-grandmother.
