considering the buying power of
The Chicago Territory.
Although The Chicago Ter

United States and has one.
sixth Of the population, it
produces one-ffth of the
crops, one-ffth of the manu-
factures and has one-ffth of
the total Wedlth of the nation.
The buying power of The Chicago
Territory is due, primarily, to these
Fundamental, enduring advantages:
Rich soil.

The keynote of the Merchandising
Service which has made The Chicago
Tribune famous as pioneer in this line
is found in the following statement Of
policy:
The Chicago Tribune considers il a
.vasts of money to adUertiss a product
distributed through the retail and job
bins trade until that trade has been sup.
piled with merchandise to take Of
the consumer demand Dhsn rhaf demand

Basins every bit Of advice and every
exercise of judgment upon vast ac-
emulation of intensive and practical
information, The Chicago Tribune Is
prepared to guide, to direct, to super
wise every detail Of an advertising and
sales campaign In the Chicago territory.
Chicago Tribune advertising plus this
service constitutes selling force prac-
dcally irresistible.

boasts jobbng and manufacturing activities that have
increased population 500 during the past five years.
There is one auto every eight people in this

Inquiries among 81 Chicago Tribune readers in
Mason City elected the information that 80 Of them

Peter
Breaks the Ice
BY THE STORY LADY.

Mama Palmer had a very wonderful
friend who was a writer. Mama was
very proud Of her and when she re-
ceived word that Miss Talbot was
coming 10 see her the whole house
had TO be cleaned. the guest room had
| to be redecorated and new rug was
bought for the living room.
On the day Of her arrival the children
were carefully dressed and sent to the
living room TO stay and mama drove
off in state in the new car to meet the
wonderful Miss Talbot.
When mama arrived at the depot she
found that the train was late. She
tried TO phone Jane and tell her TO keep
an eye on the children, but she couldn't
get the house for some reason.
The train came at last and with IL
Miss Talbot. Mama had not seen her
friend for a long time and she couldn't
forget that she was a great person.
Evidently Miss Talbot couldn't forget
IL either. So 10 was very quiet drive
home and mama wondered II il was go
ing TO be that way all the time She
stopped the car in front OF the house
and the two friends walked silently
toward the porch.
Now the Palmer porch had three
broad steps leading TO IL and when
mama reached the bottom step she
stopped with a gasp. For there in his
paiamas and sound asleep. on his play
rug and pillow was Peterl And more
than that on the next step in the same
attire was Patty and on the next one
was Prissy.. And at the top on the
porch was Pan the dog.
Mama and Miss Talbot tiptoed
around TO the side steps and sinking
into the porch swing laughed and
laughed. Miss Talbot quite forgot she
was anything but plain Clara Talbot
and leaned on mama's shoulder and
wiped her eyes on mama's handker-
chief. Their laughter brought Peter to
his feet.
"son, son" mourned mama, what
made you do it?"
"Well, explained Peter" when you
didn't come for so long. l was afraid
we'd get our clothes dirty an Jane
was busy and / could not find any
thing else but our nighties to put on,
an then we got sleepy an this was
the coolest place we could find an
thought we'd wake up before you came
an AN IN awful sorry"
Mama Rugged Peter and patted Clara
TalbOts hand.
I'm not" she said
