Wonderful Sales Record Which
Advertising Helped to Make

The following recent statement by
John Wyckoff Mettler, President of
the interviewer Stocking Company

stories of the period of readjustment.
1t is an emphatic indication of posi-
bilities when goods of genuine meritare
backed by broad, businesslike selling

''During the first six months of the
year more interviewer socks have been
sold and shipped to merchants than
during the first half of any previous
year in the history of this business.
'During the first six months of this
year the demand for these socks has

"There would be nothing unusual
about this record were it not for the fact
that this year during the same period
the average hosiery mill operations
were far below normal.
"All interviewer mills have been
running full blast continuously through
out this half-year period and have pro-
duced the largest output they have ever
turned out, and yet during the same
period we have sold and shipped every
dozen we have been able to produce
and have not been able to supply the
demand"
In later statement October 3 Mr..
Mettler says:
1.-THE record made by interviewer
during the first half of 1921 holds true
to a still greater extent for the third
quarter, which shows an even larger
increase over any previous year."

NOW tell me, Lady Duck, why are

see anyone sad.

rolled of the sides Of Lady Ducks

Lady Duck wasn't the only Being
who hated partings, either. There was
one whom they did not see and it
made him feel lad also to think that
Lady Duck was going to leave and
travel thereafter with the flock. This
other Being who felt sad was none
other than Tinker Bob, the King Of
the Forest. There were tears in his
eyes,, for he could not help thinking
about the many pleasant times that he
and Lady Duck had had when roam

Silky had almost a notion to say
that he did not want to 90 with the

DULUTH'S CITY
RAILWAY TANGLE
TO BE DISCUSSED

Duluth. Mimi. March 15.-solution
Of Duluth's city railway tangle
through a cost of service franchise,
combined with control by'a manager,
appointed by the city, is to be con-
sidered at a meeting tonight of the
Duluth Civic counsel and the city
commissioners.
Proponents of the plan which was
actually framed by the Duluth Engi-
neers' club believe it will meet a de-
mand of several years standing and
will result in a satisfactory settlement
of a problem which during the stated
period of ir~regularity has Found the
general public enduring the greatest
inconvenience.
Since the war, when cost of oper-
alton is said to have advanced, the
Duluth Street Railway company, at
frequent intervals has sought to OBJ
tain an increased fare rate from the
five cent rate in effect. Just as often
as the company has been granted per-
mission to put the matter before the
public for a vote, has the proposed
increase been disfavored. The last
vote on the proposition was in the
fall of 1920.
!" During the early winter the COM
pany cut service On several lines, ex-
planning that this was necessary in
oFueE W continue even skeleton service
IN all city lines.
Following protests from the pub
lie, the city commissioners ordered
the company to give better car service
or prepare to stand trial for having
violated a legal contract. bound by
the street railway franchise,
Six weeks ago, in federal court, thu
street railway company was granted
a permanent restraining order by the
o4,Y~t b. n~nx,0nfiro <hn o;<x, Is
cute it because Of the alleged contract
violation.
About this time six leading local
engineers were appointed as a COM
mittee by the civic council to make
a comprehensive study Of the stu
alton n to-, if possible, frame a
franchise which in their belief would
between the railway company and
the city.
Last week at a mass meeting called
by the Duluth Commercial club when
the subject of influencing the st.
Louis county delegation to favor a
bill, which has since passed, giving the
railroad and warehouse commission
power. to regulate street railway fares,
was discussed. the committee made its
first. formal report of its findings on
the proposed franchise.
The proposed franchise. as out
lined by d. e. Woodbridge, chair
man, provides that the company shall
receive a reasonable return on the
value Of its property, without ans re-
gard to it's capitalization: According
to the plan. the value would be fixed
by averaging the o 8 of the property
during the last six or " years.
One OF the provisions is for an amor
tization by the city. If the franchise
il. not renewed, 30 that with n 10 bur-
scItys becomes the jcity's in fifteen years.
