CONTRACTORS LOOK
FOR BETTER TIMES

A revival of building operations in
Memphis at the end of the next so or
80 days is anticipated by Il. w. @.
Meers, president OF the General con-
tractors association. There is a great
deal OF building, both OF business houses
and residences, contemplated, Mr.. Meers
says, but few contracts are being let.
Architects are buster with plans than
the contractors are with constructions
II don't see how, though" Mr.. Meers
said, prospective builders Of residences
are going to hold off indefinitely. 2eo-
pie must have shelter"
The uncertainty in the minds OF the
people is r%etarding the natural processes
Of the building season, Mr.. Meers said.
He believes hat IL the public could
make up its mind that prices are not
likely TO slump, they would begin to let
contracts. II prices Of materials for
building should even slightly drop, he
said. the prospective builders would
again be induced &c think that mate
rails are going very low and would con-
tinue to hold off. Evidences Of a stabil-
ICED market would do more than any
thing to induce buildings, he said.
The new front being placed in Low
enstein's store Is costing $40, 700. The
Union Bottling works, at Vance avenue
and Turley street, Is putting up a SIS, 900
addition 10 the plant. The Darneil resi-
dence, 1916 Union avenue, is to be re-
modelled.

st. Patrick Will
Not Be HOnOred,
But Home Rule!

So far as the Ancient order Of Hi
berniRns is concerned, March II, 1919,
is just going TO be a day in March
that's all. No special preparation is
being made by the HIbernians, the
knights Of Columbus or other local
organizations OF representatives OF the
Emerald Isle.
Outside Of a tint or two of green
along with the glorious old red. white
ana blue, worn on the lapcls n
breasts Of the men and women there
will be nc observance locally OF st.
Patrick's day. This docs not mean
that there win not be umerous pri-
waite watch parties and quiet gather
iugs on March II. but the big parade
and fuss and fGathers-mostly OF an
emerald hue-of yesteryear will be
missing.
Nothing doing" said W, w. Cro-
min. one Of the local pioneers OF the
Ancient Order OF Hibernians. "Ot
course we will have on our shamrocks,
mingled with our red. white and blue,
on st. Patrick's day. as will all real
Americans OF Irish descent and other
wise, but we will postpone our
celebrations until June, or perhaps a
little later, when Ireland has home rule,
and then-well, oh, boy, just watch US
we Americans when that comes to
pass. There was never a st. Patrick's,
or any day dear to the heart Of an
Irishman. that will be so ardently cele-
brated by Memphis Hibernians.'

t. I. WOFFORD HAS
 SOME CLEVER IDEAS
Seems to Have Some Good Ideas About Adver-
 Using

That was a ctriking advertisement the Royal Tailors had in a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post says G. T. Wolf ford, president of the Wofford Oil com pany.
 You perhaps recall the advertisement. The illustration showed a group of three or four men talking and every man had the label of the Royal Tailors Sewn on
 ne outside of his coat, on the edge of the top pocket and the headline declared If the men wore the labels of their Fciothes on the outside we wouldn't have to advertise
 Now I've often had the same feeling that i1spired this distinctive clothing ad about our product, Woco Pep. If every car that uses our motor fuel exclusively could have the label Woco Pep affixed in some way to the gasoline tank we would not need to advertise for every other car owner in Jefferson county stops regu- larly at our service stations for his gas.
 "Cnfortunately there's no label or other identifying marks on Woco Pep. The car owner drives up. has his tank filled and scoots away The other fellow can't tell what kind of gas he's using. but" and Mir. Wofford chuckled, the first man knows and he knows why he knows"
