to Store on North Limits of

midnight Sunday morning and the
cause of which has not been ascer-
tanned, did damage of several hundred
dollars at the grocery store Of j. S.

dan road and Limits street. When the
fremen reached the store, the flames
which had evidently started on the
main floor of the building, had spread
to both the north and west walls of
the building and portions of the walls
were burned. A considerable damage
was done to the stock of goods in the
building. Singer had gone to Chicago
early Saturday evening and he could
not be located. The place was board
ed up by the police officers, but later
in the morning it was found that some
one had broken the barriers and en-
tered the place and police officers were
ordered to guard the ruined store 1t
was said that the damage to the stock
and the building would be in the
neighborhood of $500 and that it was
covered by insurance.

NASH REPORT
SHOWS BIG YEAR
Company Report for Year
Shows Big Increase
Over 1919.
LARGE SUM IN CASH.

The total volume of sales in dollars
and cents of the Nash Motors com
pany for the fiscal year ending No
vember 80 shows a 40 per cent in
crease over the previous year and,
notwithstanding the fact that the com
pany has expended more than $4,000
900 in expanding its properties at Ke-
nosha and Milwaukee, it has cash
balance on hand of more than $10,-
100000. This company has no funded
debt nor no money borrowed
These are outstanding facts in the
forthcoming financial statement of the
Nash Motors company to be issued
the latter part Of this month
While the company's annual report
has been submitted to the board of
directors, it will not be made public
until the latter part of the month
The above figures obtained from w H !.
Afford, vice president and comptrol-
Ter, indicate that this company has
one of the most satisfactory state
ments of any commercial institution
in America.
Citing the steady and sound prog
ress this company has made from the
beginning, Mr.. Afford points out that
it was organized in July, 1916, with
$5,000,000 in preferred stock, and 50,-
900 shares of common stock having
no par value
The company issued its first, fnan-
cial statement Nov. 80, 1917, and in
the fifteen and one-half months which
it covered showed $16,750,000 in sales
with a turnover of its inventory four
times.
The second statement which COW
cred the twelve months from Nov. 80
1917, to Nov. 80, 1918, showed sales
totals Of more than $41,0OO,0 900, a cash
balance on hand of approximately
$7,30O,0OO and an eight time turnover
of its inventory.
Cash on hand and government Sc
curities at the end of the fiscal year
terminating Nov. 80, 1919, was $12,-
100000 Total sales were in excess
of Sal, 900. Again the inventory of
the company was turned eight times.
According to Mr. Afford, the chief
reason for the growth and present
financial strength of the company,
aside from the high quality and I'M
usually attractive values of Nash
products themselves is the fact that
Mr.. Nash has always kept the com
pany SO closely in step with general
business conditions that he has been
able to safeguard it unusually we'll
and to take advantage of every OPP
portunity which shifting markets pre-
sented.
Further reasons for this progress
are that Nash products are built prac-
tically complete in the Nash factories
and the Nash manufacturing ability

in New York City
IN. E. A. Staff SneciaI !

New oYrk- Charles Galewski, a New
York landlord, who made Is families
Christmas present by slicing rents
20 to % per cent, thinks the time has
come for rents to be reduced all over
the country.
He disputes the claim that labor
costs have not come down. He says he
is paying less now for janitors, paint
ers, plumbers and other workers.
with labor costs down there is
only one other important factor in the
rent situation" said Galewski.
I'm going to reduce rents to 500
more families in other apartment
buildings l am interested in.
Il was making Is per cent on my in
vestment. With the rent reductions
in force | am making 10 per cent. That
is enough for any owner of house or
apartment.

lending money on bonded mortgages

The average street car fare in Wis

reason that the principal surface

Two Cities Charge Ten Cents.
In Wisconsin, the Z cent cash fare
or less prevails in nearly all cities.
Out of nineteen cities with street car
service, only two, Green Bay and
GAINESVILLE, have a 10 cent fare and
their combined population is only

Three cities have a 5 cent cash rate;
five at cent rate; six cent rate

Philadelphia Raises Rate.

$4,000
On January 1, the statistics show
that five hundred forty-eight cities in
the nation, representing more than
ninety per cent of the riding popula-
ton in cities were paying fares rang
ing from 5 cents, with 1 cent trans
fer charge, to flat 10 cent rate; one
hundred and twelve were paying 10
cents; six, cents; one hundred
seventyfour cents, and one hundred
twenty-four cent fare. More than
sixty per cent were paying a cent
fare or more.
Philadelphia which long had five
cent fare and was pointed to as the
reason why no company should ask
more is now paying the z cent rate,
with 3 cent charge for transfers at
certain points, while Cleveland, with
service at cost and almost ideal CON
ditions, has raised it's rate to cents

Good for ANY One.

The DOLLAR Weekly Pass" is the lat
est innovation in plans for the collec-
ton of street railway fares. 1t is
good for one week from Monday
morning at one minute after midnight
until the following Sunday night at
midnight and it can be used Just as
much as the owner of it wants to use
it, He can spend all of his time trav-
cling on street cars and pay no fare.
All he has to do is to show his DOL
lar Pass. Not only this, the pass is
transferable. 1t can be turned over to
any member or any friend of a family
or to total stranger the only demand
being that but one person ride on the
pass at the time. 1t eliminates en-
tirely the issuance of transfers. The
pass is not taken up but is simply
shown to the conductor when the own
er of it gets on car. 1t is declared
that the pass does away with lot of
delays in making change and that the
use of it is expected to aid materially
in speeding up service in Kenosha. The
pass has the same carrying power as
the ten ride ticket issued by the North
western railway company and it can be
used in exactly the same way. 1t is
understood that there is nothing to
prevent traffic in these passes as they
are not individual tickets.
Racine Finds it Fine.
"Racine was the first city in which
the dollar weekly pass was used" de-
clared Walter I. Haight, one of the
officials of the company this morning.
after using it for year Racine has
placed it's full stamp of approval on
the "pass" and it is being continued
there. We believe that it will help
Kenosha to reduce the cost of riding
on the street cars and that it will help
the company to secure more people who
want to ride on the cars. 1t is most
convenient form of ticket designed not
only to aid the passenger but to aid
the company. 1t saves delay in traffic
and it encourages riding"
