today dominates the Motor Hearse
Industry of the entire country.
Its business is nationwide in scope
with efficient sales and service

The volume of its annual business
approaches the Million Dollar

constant earnings that is really re-

Until now, all development has been
from within, but progress has been
so rapid and the prevailing demand
for it's products is so great that en-

evidenced. Phone us today, 1923.

HOME FORUM
WHO ARE THE PROFITEERS?
lBy Joel c. CrOsbyl

Uegionaire Joel c. Crosby, before
he became Post Commander Joel
c. Crosby, was asked to write an
article on the sbject of "Profiteer-
ing" His article presents the idea
that we are all doing it, and that
we are forced into it because the
other fellow does it. Perhaps he
is right. Occasionally a case
comes to light Of some individual
firm receiving an unusually high
price in proportion to the cost Of
the article and the operating ex-
pense of the firm, and the Offend
ing individual is promptly handled
by the authorities. During the
war we became accustomed to
handing out money freely for this,
that and the other thing. Since
then we have not revived the hab-
it of bargaining, of seeing to it
that we get a dollars worth for
every dollar spent and the natu-
raj result when sharp bargaining
ceases is that prices will go sky
larking.
The remedy suggested, getting
the producer and consumer closer
together, with the bargaining hab-
it revived, is worthy Of more than

selling their wares for more than le-

They are the men who take two
days to do the amount of work that
should be done in one.
They are the merchants who, having
the price of an article they handle ad-

the selling price.
They are the packers who buy up
all perishable goods, putting them in
cold storage, enabling them to control
the amount which is placed on the
market, and by having control Of the
supply, are enabled to set the price.
They are the wholesalers and retail
ers who, having the freight rates
raised 10 cents on a piece of goods
they are handling. add sl.0O to the
cost price to cover the 10 cents.

AMERICAN LEGION
AND UNION LABOR

INDIANAPOLIS. oct. 2S.-The official
attitude of the American Legion to-
ward organized labor is given in
bulletin issued from national head
quarters in this city. This plank
which was adopted at the recent ma
tional convention, is taken from
statement issued by former Nauonai
Commander Franklin D'Olier and ia
MS follows;
"The attitude of the legion toward
organized labor is the same as its
attitude toward all groups of Ameri-
can citizens who are interested in
square deal for all in the maintenance
of law and order and the protection
of the institutions handed down TO us
by our forefathers. In any contro-
versy between capital and labor the
interest of the American Legion IL
confined TO that of the maintenance
of law and order and, without taxing
part ON either side, in case a situa-
ton should arise where life and prop
erty are endangered 1t is the duty oil
members OF the legion to perform
their fun duty as citizens, according
TO their own conscience ana unaef-
standing. In such n contingency 1t is
the legion mans duty to assist IN the
maintenance of law and order by act
ing as an individual and offering his
services to the duly constituted au-
/ thorltlcs for the maintenance OF law
and order. There is nothing to pre-
vent the individual members of the
/ legion as an individual, from taking
either side In such controversy but
the legion, as an organization Will
not do so."
This statement was adopted by the
convention delegates as best express
ing the legion's official attitude in
labor difficulties

ing if all are trying TO get rich by
profiteering.
The mar who works on a salary will
have to work just n little harder. The
man who works by the day will have
to do "a days work, in proportion to
what he is being paid. The producer
will have to do all in his power to
increase production, and the man who
is selling to the consumer can then
afford to sell for a reasonable profit.
The farmer should not sell his hogs
at 10 cents per pound, and in month
or so afterwards come to town and
have to buy bacon at SO cents per
pound.
There should be cotton mills here in
this city to supply the demands OF
southern Oklahoma. Think how many
families live from the profits of a
bale of cotton, before it returns to
Ardmore made into cotton sacks to
| gather the next crop.
Why can't the South manufacture
the cotton goods, and send it out in
| finished products. instead of sending
It out in compressed bales Of cotton?
Why don't we have our own can
ming factories, instead of living
| through the winter months on canned
goods that were raised here in this
county, but sent to St. Louis, to be
returned here in cans, and with the
price twice what it could be put uT
for here at home.
What is true of these products is
also true in many other cases. Let's
live at home, and let the middlemer
come here and become producers.

for 22 cents per pound. We are pay
ing 40 cents per pound.
Lines are advertised on the street
at 25 cents per dozen. We are paying
fountains.
Wool is selling at 35 cents per
pound. 1t takes seven to nine pounds
to make a suit Of clothes. We are
paying 800 TO 1925 for our fall suits.
What is true of the above articles
is true Of most everything we buy.
Why do we continue to pay such
profits? / believe it is because we are
guilty of the same charge in handling
| our own business and haven't the
heart to kick about something we are
doing ourselves.
How many people walk into store
these days to price something and
say to the clerk, well, I'll see is
can't do better somewhere else!" We
must change our way of thinking, our
way Of buying and our way Of selling
before we can expect to stop profit
ccring. When we go into store
these days we enter thinking that we
have to pay more than the article Is
worth, and when the price is mertion
ed we do not say word about Tho
price, for we went in expecting to pay
a big price. Take the merchant whit
is selling shoes. He adds a large
profit than he did a few years ago
Il WHY? Because when he goes 10 hi

to buy something which he does no
