Salesman's Jokes


should people buy just what they need.
Trade would be mighty poor indN d.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-01-21
HOW THE THING is DONE

Pm afraid the board of trade
Perhaps won't like this brief TRADE
That tells just how the price is made.
Now when the farmer has the wheat,
The word goes up and down the street:
Demand is short, the. crop is long,
So why now buy it for song?"
And all the brokers have fit
AS they throw wheat into the pit.
The papers talk of bumper crops
And every hour the wheat price drops
But as the winter rolls around
The talk all has another sound.
"We haven't half the wheat we need
To give the hungry world it's feed"
The papers talk of starving millions
The brokers smile and pocket millions.
And day by day the prices rise
Until they seem 10 reach the skies.
Each broker figures in his seat
The value of the nations wheat,
And gives the figures out and winks,
"The farmers sure are wealthy ginks"
The farmer works for bread and board
And sometimes owns a wheezy Ford;
The worker gives up his last cent
And wonders where the money went.
If the price is low or is high,
We get that musty alibi-
Cost follows demand and supply.

LOCKOUT AT BOTTLE FACTORY

Since August 1st, at which date the
contract expired, Engineers Local No.
$50 has been endeavoring to come to
an agreement with the American
Bottle Company. Numerous meetings
between union representatives and
factory managers have been held
without result. At last verbal un-
derstanding was arrived at which
was to be embodied in the contract,
but when it was presented the clause
granting time and half for Sunday
work was omitted, since which time
this has been the sticking point. 1t
was finally agreed to meet on Satur-
day, January Is, and settle the mat
ter, but when the men reported for
duty on the morning before that date
they found the company had inau-
gurated lockout and they were not
permitted to go to work.
AS is usual in such cases their
places were filled by substitutes.
Four engineers, some of whom have
the reputation of being unfair on pre-
vious occasions, were put to work,
while the places of the firemen were
filled by a miscellaneous assortment
culled from laborers in the yard.
This aggregation is endeavoring, with
poor success, to keep the expensive
machinery in the extensive plant in
operation.
Up to date there are no further
developments, the men are standing
firmly for extra time for Sunday
work, and there is no prospect of
their yielding to the company's de-
mands.

Columbus, O.-lSpecial) )-Ohioans
who put their savings in government
securities are scoffing at those VINO
would stampede the people with ru-
mors of hard times ahead. Don L..
Tobin, whose pen as advertising and
publicity director for the United
States treasury department in the
Fourth federal reserre district for the
last two years has preached savings
and economy, declares that Ohioans
have a firm anchor to windward in
the $130, 100000 worth of War Savings
securities now held in the Buckeye
state. The interest from War Saw
ings securities alone brings $4,000
900 to Ohioans, Tobin said. He also
called attention to the fact that Ohio
ans had redeemed less than 20 per
cent of savings securities bought dur
ing the war, while the general aver
age Of redemptions in the United
States was more than 25 per cent.
Ohio has led the nation in the sale
of War Savings securities from the
beginning. During the last year 1t
has sold 20 per cent of all savings
securities in the country. Tobin at
tributes this remarkable record to the
liberal~use of advertising. News
papers, if never before, proved their
worth to the nation during the war,
said Tobin. The war savings record
made in the Buckeye state well
proves the old adage, 1T pays to ad-
vertise." advertising will sell any
thing, and when one couples the right
sort of advertising with a product
that will bear scrutiny the answer is
inevitable. If you have something
good let the people know about it and
they will wear a path to your door, "
Tobin declared.
During the last two years Tobin
placed more than 100000 newspaper

FIRST LORD OF ADMIRALTY SAYS HE WAS MlSQUOTED

London, March 1T.-Lord Lee of Fair ham, first lord of the admiralty, de- clared today that his reference to the United States in his discussion of naval matters at meeting of naval archi- tects here yesterdy had not been quoted correctly. What he really said, he as- serted, was:
 We see the naval committee of the United States Senate laying down the principle that America shall maintain a navy at least equal to that of any other power That is a claim to equality which this country never has accepted in the past and never would accept save in connection with the great English speaking nation which sprang from our Joins and ever holding great place in our regard and confidence. The difference between our formula and America's is too slight to be made the subject of controversy, still less of friction or hostility
 In the London dispatch of Monday night telling of the first lords address, he was quoted as referring to the claim that America should maintain navy equal to that of any other power as follows:
 That is claim that we should never have expected save in connection with the great English speaking nation which sprang from our loins and ever holding great place in our regard and confidence The difference in our formula and America's is too slight to be made the subject of controversy, still less of friction or hostility"
