Five. years ago when Delco-Light

for the sale of-fndividual electric
farm lighting plants, the above was
their motto. =.
During these five years they have
sold and installed over three thou
sand Delco-Light plants in the Mem
phis territory. These we're install
ed in farm homes, schools, church
es, country stores, gins, ETC., etc.
of course, electric lighting plants
had been sold before they brought
out Delco-Light, but they were the
first to make an organized and de-
termined effort to make electricity
available for the farm home. How
well they planned is best evidenced.
by the fact that during the first ten
months Of their business they sold
more electric lighting plants than
had been sold in the previous ten
years by other concerns.
The local organization now has
about forty travelling men, making
sales and rendering service through
out Western Tennessee, Northern
Mississippi and Eastern Arkansas.
Most Of these men have seen the
business grow ana the reputation
of this company increase as their
sales developed, and each<of them

DELCO LIGHT
Retrospective and Prospective
''The First Organized Effort To Make Electricity
Available For Every Farm"

has made lasting friendships
among rural folks. Not because
they sold them a piece of machin-
cry made of steel, copper and iron.
but because of the service that that
piece of machinery gave to them,
and the Joy, 1t brought into their
home.
Y Delco-Light is now sold in the
four corners of the world, Sales
offices are established in nearly ev--
cry country on the face Of the earth,
and the merry put-put-put~ of the
exhaust can Nbe heard in tropical
climes and in the frozen north, in
the effete east and in the west, of
which we are a part.
The DelcozLight Company is
part of the General Motors Corpor-
alton, which Is one of the largest
corporations in the world. The bust
ness is a stable and lasting one.
They are not here to make all the
sales they can and then leave, but
are here to stay and-will always he
able to give their customees the best
of service at all time,
Delco-Light is the only real light
ing plant put on the market and
will be the last to leave. The Mem
phis office is located at 251 Mon
roe Avenue, and is under the man
agement of Mr.. Henry r., Colby.

COTTON MARKETS

Early Improvement.
Thursday Afternoon. Dec. 80.

Thursday Afternoon, Dec. 80.
The market today was more pre-
holiday affair than for several days.
II did not develop any new features
Of consequence and evening up
transactions were conspicuous. The
January option in New York, which
displayed individual strength yester-
day, today lost some Of its premium
apparently helped by the fact that
about 20 notices were circulating.
More steadiness in the grain and
stock markets tended to encourage
hope that the worst had been wit
messed. although there continues 1T
tie concrete evidence that such is the
case. Strength was due rather to
lack of pressure than to actual sup
port although some better feeling is
reported in goods circles, which may
presage increased demand for the ac-
tual. With the practical passing of
hope of aid through temporary meas
ures, such as the war finance board,
there is coming fuller appreciation
OF the necessity Of patience in order
that liquidation can be more com
plete so that when recuperation
starts II will be permanent. Moreover
the effect of disappointment over
the failure to get the finance board
revived has perhaps been felt al
ready.
In Liverpool there was nothing
this morning to have much weight
on the domestic markets, so opening
was at slight gains. News was
scarce, but the very absence of any
thing that added to the troubles al
ready experienced seemed to inspire
a little optimism. The March posi-
tion opened at 1886, up 5 points,
and then worked up to 14.O4, but
reacted when the notices circulated
and January dipped. March dropped
to lSS3c and then shot back upward.

when pressure increased. The bot
tom up to a short while before the
close was 1860 and then 1t got into
a nut and seemed destined to do lit

From the spot department came
little that was new, either GOOD ~
bad. but business was naturally re-
stricted at this time. Traders were
generally disposed to wait until after
the holidays and see II the predicted
improved demand would materalize.
