Business Restoring Old-time
Courtesies After Hectic
Period of the War.

Economists and others in discus

something more to be liquidated. 1t
is the fungus growth of arrogance
in many lines of business.
Before the war manufacturer and
merchant, to a large degree. appre-
ciated the virtue of the policy The
public be pleased" Some went so
far as to say The customer always
Is right" which Is not a fact.
With the war and a pronounced
shortage of goods there was a sud-
den change. Take it or leave it"
became the rule. The seller acted
as IL he was comforting a favor on
the customer.
Labor either took its cue from
business or had the same idea. 1t

Appropriation of Available Storage
Space for Surplus Stock One
Solution to Business Situation

NEW YORK. Nov. ss.-one of the
best-known men in cotton circles in
America telegraphed from Dallas,
Texas, recently to the Bush Ter
minal people here that he wished
to ship a large amount of cotton
North for storage and asking how
much they could take. They re-
piled they could take none, as 96
per cent of their space was filled
with merchandise.
That reply has a direct bearing
upon one of the sore points in the
business situation here today. Ir
reports are true, middlemen and
many retailers who purchased
heavily from manufacturers months
ago not only have their shelves
pretty well filled. but the ware
houses also, and are unable to find
purchasers. They are holding on
desperately in the hope or expecta-
tion that the public will have to
come to them.
But the public does not. 1t is not
because of scarcity of money. APP

TOKYO. Nov. 26.-At the mouth
OF the Tone river. the easternmost
point OF Japan, the Japanese papers
report a catch OF hfty-four whales
recently, measuring from fourteen
to twenty feet in length. Hundreds
OF boats were used by the fisher
men in what was one of the most
surprising events that ever hap
pened in that vicinity. The whales
are said to have been swept out of
their path by a storm and straved
into the river. which at its mouth
is some 5000 feet wide.
