1t IS we'll to keep an eye on
the word that takes a new
meaning. When a perfectly
good word assumes a dehni-
ton that our grandfathers
never associated with it, and
goes junketing around the
business clubs and conven-
tions, getting its name in the
papers and forming unseenIy
associations with other words,
it will bear watching.
The word Service has been
doing that very thing, and
it is about time Service came
to its senses and went back
to work at its old job.
All over this country there
are people who, when they
buy something, don't want
any more than they think
they are going to get.
Service to those people is
not something for nothing
that they do not want, but
something that they do want,
delivered when they want it,
at price that is within reason.
If you buy a vacuum clean
er or a player piano or a cook
stove, you don't want some
body calling you up every
two or three days and asking
if you are satisfied. You don't
want to be filling out, stamp
ing, and returning Service Re-

blank spaces where you may
fill in the names of a few

character of both Mrs Elizabeth TYLER.
head of the women's depa rtment of the
ku-klux Klan, and himself, Edward
Young Clarke, Imperial Kleagle of the
Knights of the Ku-Klux Klan. has ad-
dressed communication to Colonel
William J. Simmons, Imperial Wizard
of the order, urging that the resigna-
tions Of Mrs. Tyler and himself, now
in the hands OF Colonel Simmons, be
accepted at the earliest moment posi-
BILE
Mr.. Clarke declares that this action
is not the result Of a desire to for
sake his post in the khan, but is due
to his consideration of Mrs. Tyler's
feelings in connection with recent at
tacks upon her character
Tyler on the firing line" the com
munication stated, there is no depth
to which tne enemy will not stoop to
accomplish their despicable purposes"
Pleads Exhaustion
Mr.. Clarke adds that his condition of
physical exhaustion also makes it i'm
perative that he turn his post over
to others, and he declares it is his be-
lief that the klan will triumph in the
present controversy.
"Of course, it is unnecessary for me
to tell you that as soon as | get a brief
physical rest" he concluded, ~ intend
to proceed to have those who have so
mallciously slandered me answer to the
fullest extent of the law, and | believe

Clarke's letter added, that the per-
sonal character of practically every
leader Of che work will be attacked,
but they can stand it and come through
at much less cost than if woman is
forced to stand and face their vii
famous and lying attacks.

associated in business with Mrs. Tyler
for several years, and have found her
TO be honorable and dependable and Il
woman Of the very highest type in

which have recently been made against

false"

stout black bag, come in and
fix the thing, collect his sew
enty cents and 90 on his way
rejoicing.
That is service with a small
but competent S, and it is
better than a money-back
guarantee, better than re-
quests to "bring it in and let
US look at it''-even better
than sweet letters from the
Service Department. There is
a legitimate need for that kind
of service. There is not so
much need for the kind that
the sales department capital
ICES and tries to sell and spell
with a capital S.
If thing is worth having,
1t ought to be worth buying
and paying for. Selling cost
is a proper and necessary eco-
nomlc expense, but not a sell
ling cost which includes the
cost of giving away things to
people who don't want them.
If you have something that
people ought to buy, you tell
them about it.
If the goods are right and
the price is right and you tell
your story often enough and
long enough, you won't have
to worry about Service. Your
dealers won't pester you for
Service, either. You can rem
der most Of the service YOU
need to render anybody right
out there in your manufacture
ing and shipping departments.
And the cost of this service
will go into production cost,
where your distributors and
your consumers want it, and
not in your selling cost, where
you had better not let people
even suspect it is.
