perfectly respectable man." When
Hyers endeavored to make a short
talk at the close of the evenings
program an anvil chorus drowned
his first words. Order finally was
restored. 1t was all in fun and it

from the upstate towns. They were
escorted to the den in chartered
street cars and returned to their

they ever witnessed.

Il am delighted to state that
Lincoln has learned much from
Omaha and we realize that when
Omaha prospers Lincoln also pros

proud of Omaha and we want you
to be proud of Lincoln. The build
ing of new capitol will mark the
beginning of new Lincoln"
George Risdon of Lincoln recited

words on behalf of the visiting
Lncolnites.
c. H. Roper, president of the

coin Rotary club, were among the
visitors who enioyed the show.

town Sections.

Although the 7-cent fare, which
went into effect Sunday morning,
caused but little confusion, it did re-
suit in some delay and forced con-
ductors to work harder than for
some time past, thus fully earning
the increased wages granted them
by the street car company Friday.
Successive waves of patrons of the
street railway company succeeded in
almost overwhelming conductors
Sunday and yesterday by their de-
mand for the car tickets.
AT the downtown intersections
cars were delayed several minutes
because conductors were unable to
handle the crowds that damned the
cars and clamored for the tickets,
which sold at the rate of four for Is
cents. or 3 cents below the standard
figure for four tickets. Motormen
were forced to extend themselves to
make up for lost time in the less
thickly populated sections of the
city.

by the demand for tickets, R. A..

The Washington times., 1919-07-30

With the coming season so
close at hand and the labor costs
and production costs shooting
prices sky high, many merchants
are wondering how to convince the
public that the prices they must
ask are fair and if so will they
respond when mems ready-to-wear
suits are offered at 500.
My answer is that the public
will, providing you give them a
good and sufficient reason.
I have mentioned in one of my
previous articles that Imagination
is the power that moves the world"
and / have never solved a diff
cult problem without the use Of it.
The price 500 is absolutely i'm
aginative, but the argument for
the price is imaginative, and that
when the 800 sale price is linked
up with a good reason, it will
sell more goods than a low price
with a poor reason.
Some years ago l used this
method and have used it so many
times since that I know it is
the right one.
