The Bottom of 1t

In the turbulent days through
which we have passed, we were apt,
all of us, to criticize the manufac-
turer-or the jobber-or the retailer
because prices were TOO high-Or
something else was wrong.
There may have been many abuses
and doubtless were-but, in the
main, men who have built business,
and intended to stay in business, were
basing their prices on their actual
and fair costs, with a reasonable
profit.
And large part of that cost 1cas
and is for LABOR.
So in criticizing the price of an arti-
Gle, we may, without realizing it, have
ALSO been criticizing the price of the
LABOR that helped to determine the
COST of the article.

1t Reaches You

When the retailers business is
slack, the jobbe-'s business MUST be
slack-for the retailer quits buying
from him.
When the jobber's business is slack,
the manufacturer business is slack
because the jobber has quit buying
from him.
And, when the business of the
manufacturer and jobber and retail
er is slack-YOUR BUSINESS is
SLACK, too-for these men have
been compelled, by your action, to
quit buying from yofI.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1921-03-09
Where Do You Belong?

We unconsciously get to thinking
of the manufacturer as "class" "a
group of men set apart from our
selves when they aren't at all.
They're one of NS-and qCe;re one of
them.
Any time you want to know where
YOU belong-just stop and figure out
where you get the money you live on.
If it comes from manufacturer
you are a manufacturer, just as much
as if your name was up above the big
front Office door
If your money comes from a jobber
you're jobber.
If your money comes from a retail
er-you're retailer.
You're a manufactures, jobber or
retailer-one of the three.
And, likewise, you're one of the

The Answer Is ''No!"

Figure for yourself where YOUR
money comes 'FRONT.'
Do you want business in THAT line
to be slack?
Of course MOTT
Are the prices YOU are getting for
YOUR time, skill, experience or ma
terials, TOO HIGH?
Your answer is: moi"

SWEET MAMA CLUB
Broken up by p. o. Inspectors
Atlanta,


Atlanta.
Organization of the international
Society of Sweet Mamas," designed as
a sort of auxiliary to a similar society
of Sweet Daddies." was nipped in the
bud in Atlanta, Friday when United
States postal inspectors arrested a
young man who gave the name. of w.
H. Little, his occupation as district
manager of the Michelin Tire COM
pany, and his business address as 324
Marietta street, says the Atlanta Jour-
nal Of Tuesday.
The news of Mr.. Little's arrest may
bring deep sorrow to twenty-five At
lanta girls who are reported to have
been prospects" for the international
Society of Sweet Mamas." Likewise,
there may be any number Of young
Atlanta men, already admitted to
membership in the Sweet Daddies, v
who will view Mr.. Little's arrest with
alarm.
Mr.. Little's arrest and the subse-
ouent investigation postal inspectors
are conducting to see whether or not
he intended to use the mails to de-
fraud, all came about because one Of
the girls decided she'd let Uncle Sam
investigate before she became a
Sweet Mama"
Accordingly, she called on the gov
ernment authorities. and exhibited a
circular letter she received through
the>mails. The letter was multigraph-
ed and was headed international So
ciety of Sweet Mamas." This was the
way it began:
Escape From Boredom
do you become rather bored some
times with the ordinary, common
place routine Of the average daily life?
A very rich and kindly old gentleman
out Peachtree way died last month
and left $4,000 in his will to found and
develop an organization as listed above
and to be composed Of 25 Of the most
attractive young ladies Of the city
with a corresponding number Of
young men. providing rs can be found
who fulfill the eXactinG requirements
laid down by the eccentric old gentle
man whose kindness and whimsical
fancy made this interesting organza-
ton possible"
1T is no fattery.' continued the
letter, ito say you should feel highly
complimented in being chosen one OF
the Is young ladies as it was en-
tremely difficult to locate this number
who could come up to the old gentle
mans specification as to beauty, per-
scnality, etc. Nevertheless, 20 have
been selected and you are one Of them.
The letter then referred to an at
tached sheet which was enclosed
setting forth the requirements for
Sweet Daddies."
"I can truthfully say" added the
letter, this organization should prove
wonderful source Of romantic ad-
venture to you, for no Sweet Dad
dies" will be admitted except those
who are wealthy, of high social posi-
ton and capable Of making life eN-
tremely interesting for the Sweet
Mamas."

FRENCH PAPERS PLEASED
Like the Reply of Secretary Hughes
to Germans.

Newspapers of Paris, France de-
voted much space yesterday to the
correspondence between Charles Z.
Hughes, American secretary of state,
and DR. Walter Simons, German for
eign minister, relative to responsible
ity for the war and reparations. Most
of them expressed great satisfaction
with the reply Of the American Secrc-
tary, the only writer not taking this
view being "PertinaS" political editor
of the Echo de Paris, who found Sec
retary Hughes remark regarding now
German proposals to the allies not to
be very opportune.'
"Dr. Simons' memorandum, he
continued simply repeats the old
German tactics, which consist in
avoiding the general problem and
dwelling upon methods of payment,
Germany has been given n les
son." declared the Figaro. (which she
must perforce understand
L'Homme Libre said Americas
reply was percmptory and decisive
Americas word brings us great con-
ISOLATION in the most difficult hour
OF our history"
The reply of the United States 10
Germany on the reparations question
has given the greatest satisfaction to
French official circles, where it is re-
garded as finally closing the door to
all escape by Germany from meeting
her liabilities under the treaty OF Ncr-
sailles.
