What We We Done

When the Gordon Home (Profit-Shar-
ing) Circle System Store No. l was opened
for business at 1909 First Avenue, there
were many skeptical persons and not few
Scoffers (the latter class composed prn-
cipally of rival concerns).
They could not-because they would not
believe that our plan was feasible.
Some were bold enough to predict that
we would 'last about month";"
Others boldly and loudly proclaimed
"Fake!'
But the originator and founder of the
system, and those well-known Birmingham
business men who had taken the trouble to
investigate, were convinced that the prin-
ciple was sound.
They went ahead with their plans, dis
regarding the clamor.
Now their judgment is indicated. The
checks pictured on this page are our best
answer to the Doubling Thomases"
These names are taken at random from
among the hundreds to whom checks are
being mailed, representing their share in
the profits of the business for the first
month, after all operating expenses and
fixed charges have been paid.
The soul of our system is cooperative
buying and selllng-a banding together of
large circle of families to combat the
high cost of living. Volume buying and
economical store management are also &C
complished.

explain more thoroughly.

Two out of town weddings of the
week in which Washington society was
particularly interested took place on
Thursday. that of Miss May Sue Dom
aldson. daughter of Col and Mrs. IT. Q.
Donaldson, and that OF Augusta Glass,
daughter of Senator and Mrs Carter

place in Washington. Both girls went

Miss Agnes Dickson Graft. daughter
of Mrs. Carl Droop. was married to
Major Julian Barnes. U. S. A., on
Wednesday, at st. Margaret's.
The bride was attended by her two
married sisters. Mrs Thilman Hen

whose husband is one of the best known
of Washingtons younger physicians.

There has been quite a wave of en-

Perhaps the most generally interesting
was Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bartletts an
nouncement of the engagement or Mrs.
Bartlett's daughter. Miss Caroline cg-

son of Mr.. and Mrs. Armistead Peter of

day the United States Commissioner of
Education and Mrs. Philander p. ClaX-

daughter, Miss Helen ClaXton. to Mr.
John Curtis Walker of Washington. the
marriage date being set for January ].
Both these girls are debutantes OF a
few seasons back. Miss Ogden-Jones,

of Miss Alexandrine Fitch to Col. Cres-
