kept right at It all of her married life

way to look at things. But she hadn't

The chief building materials in the
larger towns and trade centers nt Fin

late. lime and brick have been com.
monty used and there are two modern
brick works. Cement stones or blocks
are. also used, but to no great extent.
The common material Is rod brick,

Although the outlaw rail strike will doubtless cause
great deal of annoyance and perhaps real suf-
feing because of lack of food shipments it will of
certainty be of short duration and of no gain to the
strikers. scant sympathy will accompany their atti-
tude in calling strike in defiance of the brotherhood
These breaks weaken the whole structure of labor The
solidarity is not there any more, and only by abso-
strength.

The North Pole

Robert E. Peary found the North Pole because
he knew how to make the calculations himself
Failing seven times, he was not discouraged He
knew he was right and had the courage to make
the eighth attempt, which brought success.
Success is not by-product of luck by any
means. It's the forethought of anticipation, ac-
curately calculated, with courage and conviction
as its fundamental foundation.
Robert E. Peary would have made good mer-
chant He was planDer. He had no use for
deception.
All honor to the man whose memory ew shall
over cherish, for he was honest with himself and
with others and knew how to calculate so as to
achieve success-and to do great service for
science and the world
Likewise, this store endeavors to render
similar service to its patrons by making the pro-
per calculations in buying merchandise And
the reason we head this article as we do, and
have written about Robert e. peary, is because
We want to point the moral of calculating aecu-
rately and courageously no matter how great
are life's obstacles

Speaking About Sales
and Advertising

The brief session of special After-Ea sell
ing We INDUCED in the latter part of the week
brought out great many shoppers notwith-
standing the extremely unsettled weather.
We take 1T that our Advertisements of the
event were widely read. but better than that, we
take it that our patrons believed what they read
about the bargains in our advertisements.
Advertising has come to be a vital force in our
daily news. We expect it and look for it, Folks
would feel lost without advertisements and
everybody reads them quite teh same as'the other
news of the times. But, woe unto the merchant
who misrepresents things in advertisements; who
makes statements snd fails to back them up
Advertising and sales must hang together. We
advertised our after Easter Sale and then we
backed it up with the goods. All Fairmont mer-
chants and other good merchants do the same
thing. Whenever you read in Fairmont news
papers about sales you can feel pretty certain
you are going to find they are exactly as advsr-
ttscd.
