TRACKLESS TR0LLEYS
FOR BULLS HEAD LINE

lBy Evening News staff Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, March 24:-
With the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment approving Commis-
sioner Whalen's plan of a trackless
trolley from Linoleumville to Bulls
Head. at its meeting Tuesday at City
Hall, Manhattan, there is a good
chance that the same thing may be
done between Tottenville and Rich
mond. The Board of Estimate on
the recommendation of Com mission
er Whalen, of plants and structures
of the city of New York, at the same
time voted $28.000 to put the line in
operation on the Bulls Head line
which will connect with the munich
pal trolley at that place. The track
less trolley is something new which
has been tried out at other places
and proved to be a success. The
cars are similar to the regular troll
ley run from an overhead wire but
without tracks. The cars are rub
ber tired affairs and are capable of
making good time.
A meeting has been called by
Stuart l.. Ritz, of the Tottenville
Branch of the Staten Island Civic
League, for Saturday night at the
rooms of the Richmond County
Building and Mutual Loan Associa-
ton to act upon the proposition for
a line of trackless trolley to be run
along the Arthur Kill road from
Tottenville to Richmond where they
will connect with the municipal
trolley at the former county seat.
Deputy Commissioner William Writ
Mills, of plants and structures, will
be at the meeting to explain the
workings of the system.

. RENCH women have
r long been famous for
making money go far.

making money go far.
From childhood they are
trained in all the depart
ments of that universal and
most exacting business of
women, the spending of
money-the making of ends
meet.
In the vast majority of in
stances this demands just as
much adeptness, just as
much judgment and care, as
the masculine business of
making money.
So let us give due credit to
The woman of France. Her
garments are fresh, dainty
and of the latest fashion. Her
hats are models of bewitch-
ing becomingness and good
style.
And yet she spends in a
season far less than her Eu-
ropean sisters of the same
financial and social standing.
Also she prides herself on
the achievement.
What are her meth
DDS?
Surprisingly simple.
She uses her eyes and her
brain. She knows values
when she sees them, and nev-
er neglects a buying oppor-
tunity. But by no means is
she without rival in this to-
day.
Merchants whose judg-
ment means something say
that the modern American
woman is without peer as a
discriminating purchaser =
that her alertness to price
advantage, her keenness in
questions of style and quail
ity are unmatched by any
other nation.
They attribute this de-
velopment of recent years to
the education they them
selves have provided = the
education of advertising =
they offer ample evidence
that such is the fact.
A review of this evidence
would be lengthy and tire
some, and we can more cas-
ily fnu the truth for our
selves. Make it your own
case.
You know that reputable
merchants, in these days,
leal with the truth in their
advertising-that when val
ues are stated they are legit-
innate values-that when GER
tain savings are offered,
those savings actually exist.
You no longer have to de-
pend entirely on your own
Judgment. If the article you
seek is advertised, the repu-
tation of the advertiser is
your guarantee of its worth.
So it may be well said that
we of America are expert
shoppers-that we get the
most for our money--because
we follow advertising. This
is palpably the truth.
But that doesn't mean that We
are constant seekers of price
concessions. The benefits OF
advertising are as great in sew
eral other directions. 1t gives,
for example, authentic style in
formation and promotes high
standards of quality.
SO it is apparent that the
woman best equipped to do the
most efficient shopping for her.
self and her home is she. 'who
keeps closest watch on The
printed offerings of merchants
and manufacturers.
Advertising spells style, econ
omy, abundance and opportuni-
~. 1t gathers the good of the
world into a handful of printed
pages
If YOU are one of the few who
han e not learned OF the mu.ral
value and benefit of advertising
1t would pay you at this particu-
lar time TO read the advertising
columns carefully and continu-
ously ..
