Imposing on the Merchants.

An item of business news in an
exchange reports complaints by mer-
chants that many people are asking
to have goods sent to their home for
examination, and are taking advant-
age of the good nature of merchants
and their desire to mako sales. 1t is
said that many women will order
dresses end other goods from several
stores, and will keep those they like
best and return the others. Some
times they wear handsome gown to
a party and then return it.
These practices are unfair. Prob
ably goods returned in this Way
would require some labor of clean
ing or pressing before they could be
returned to the shelves. Somebody
must pay for the extra work, and it
all comes out of the public. The mer-
chants serve the public best when
they shut down on such practices.

Gents for Power

Webster City, Iowa, according ia
the Journal of that city, has pro-
duoed one of the biggest inventions
Of the age. power and heat process,
discovered and invented by Arthur
c. Bundy, which forms an oxygen
doing away with gasoline for mo
tive power or coal for heating.
! The Journal of this week contains
the following to substantiate
claims made short time ago for
the inventor:
There is no doubt the success
and practibility of the Bundy
Invention" declared l.. H. McMas-
tiers, government chemical engin-
eer, who is in this city assisting with
detailed perfection OF the power and
heat process discovered by Arthur
G. Bundy.
when l was first sent here l was
skeptical," he continued, "ani
thought it was another fake, but
am thoroughly convinced that it is
the greatest invention the world has
ever known"
The project is now backed by
$25 900. 900. Mr.. McMasters declar-
es, some of the largest capitalists in
the sast being interested. The stock
is at present in the hands of hold
ins company made mp of local men
and capitalized at $4,000, but this
is TO be recognized and the eastern
capitalists taken into the corporation
according to McMasters.
! Letters are received daily from
fnanciers and companies of highest
rank in the financial world asking
for information and seeking to OBJ
tain stock in the company. The
Curtis Airplane company. the inter-
national Harvester company, the
Rock Island railway and many other
large firms have written Mr.. Bundy
offering him assistance of any kind
in the way Of material or capital.
When the new and larger com.
pany is organized factory will be
opened in the east, Mr. McMasters
declares where material will be
easily available.
McMasters expects to leave next
week for an automobile trip to New
York in car operated on the oxy-
gen power. He expects the trip to
cost just 25 cents. A recent trip to
Minneapolis was made al a cost OF
9 cents.
A house may be heated for from
SO to $40 winter by heat produc-
ed by the Bundy process, it is es-
timated The heat can be increased
or decreased by air pressure, just
as the speed of the automobile is
regulated by air pressure.
The chemicals which draw the
oxygen from the air are the secret
Of the entire process, and one Of
these is a substance, which may be
obtained from any vegetable or weed
that grows except the turnip. This
substance is mixed with a second
chemical and as the air passes thru
these, the oxygen is separated and
reduced to a form in which it may
be used as heat and power.
An engine especially adapted for
this oxygen power is also being in
vented by Mr.. Bundy, but at present
an ordinary automobile motor is
being used with spark plugs, car
bueretor and ignition removed.

We have entered the retail
field in New York to accom-
plish that object for the buy

clothes.
Indeed, we seek to strength
en- the clothes-dollar beyond
its pre-war performing ability.
For we aim to make it buy
a better custom-tailor value
than it ever bought before.
New York has issued a dis
tress call for lower clothes
prices. And in answer to this
call, this wholesale tailoring
house-half a century old,
and the largest in America
has stepped forward to offer
it's service direct at retail to
New York men.
But our intent is not merely
to afford New York the price
relief it seeks. That might be
wholly a feat of agile cost
whiting.
Our greater aim is to effect
the lower price while still de-
livering a finer quality:
Our definite plan is to pro-
duce real custom-tailorcd-to.

We have set our New York
feature price at $4O-for an
all wool, all quality, made-to-
order suit or overcoat.
With ready-mades still aver
aging $50 to $50, can we keep
faith on that $40 ofer-deliv-
ering dependable, made-to-

Frankly we cannot reduce
the cost Of the making. There
has been no break in labor or
material costs affecting this
seasons production.
But we CAN and WILL
reduce the cost Of selling. And
thereby lies our miracle Of
money-sa saving for New York
clothes buyers.
BY acting as our own retail
