Through the clouds engendered by
the wheat market slump CLEANS a
ray of sunshine that brightens the
price prospect for the coming har-
vest season. Thus saith no less an
authority than The National City
Bank of New York; Argentina and
Australia are now the chief sources
of supply for the importing coun-
tries, and their supplies appear to be
ample for all demands. This country
is thought to have sold about all it
has to spare, and the movement to
put an import duty on wheat has
stimulated the movement from Can
ada to this country to provide against
possible needs. The worlds carry
over will not be large, and as it is
now quite improbable that Russia
will contribute anything to the next
years supply for western Europe,
and as the Argentine and Australian
crops this year were much above the
average of those countries, the out
look for the price of wheat from the
1921 crop would seem to be very
good. Moreover, it will be produced
at lower cost"

The remarks of ~ Friend Of
Progress" published elsewhere are
pertinent and timely. 1t is time that
Weston should make an effort to get
out of the rut. il il does not expect
TO remain forever in the crossroads
village class. Action is needed, how
ever, on the part Of the entire COM
munity. The whole burden Of re-
sponsibility for the proposed street
improvement should not be left with
the council. Let every citizen,
whether or not he or she is in SYM
pathy with the improvement. attend
the next council ,meeting-Wednes-
day evening, April 8. Thus only can
the community's wishes be ascertain
cd and community sentiment crystal
lized. The council needs your help.

Week by week Golfers has stated
its belief that no panic has been near
or in prospect, says that optimistic
weekly; has voiced its conviction that
America is proceeding in an orderly
way through an ever-lessening peri
cd of readjustment after the flame
and roar of war, and the industrial
fog Of postwar conditions. There is
plenty of business to be done; there
is an ever-growing disposition on
the part of the merchant as we'll as
the manufacturer to slice his in
ventory to replacement cost; and
there is strong determination on the
part of every good salesman to goI
back to work and sell goods. So long
as there is work to be done in the
United States, and men to do it, andl
materials for them to do it with, letl
US quit worrying about mysterious
help from our federal government
and keep interested in our own per
sonal accomplishment.

Trefry Motor Company

w. H. Trefry came to Topeka as a
Ford representative in August 1916.
When he started his career in the
automobile business his organization
consisted of one man, himself. Now
he has in his employ, including sales
men, office and shop force, from rs to
80 people. Many of his employees
have been trained, at Trefry's expense,
at the Ford factory.
The business of the Trefry Motor
company inereasede in volume until
more spacious quarters We're needed.
On June 20, of the present year, the
entire equipment was moved to the
present location at GA Kansas ave-
nue.
From every viewpoint this plant is
an admirable one.
The spacious salesroom is very at
tractive. The floor is tiled in a terra
Gotta color, the walls are French grey
stenciled in rose and black, the wood
work is ivory and mahogany All the
windows, except the huge plate glass
front, and the doors are panelled. At
one end of the large Sa1eSroom are the
business offices, all beautifully
equipped. Leading by a stairway from
the first floor is very attractive and
inviting rest room furnished with soft
rugs, comfortable gray wicker and
tapestry chairs, beautiful floor lamp
and a pretty little gray desk with a
rose cOlored writing pad and even a
pink feather pen. All draperies in the
salesroom and rest room are of pom
gee. For the general artistic atmos-
phere of this establishment Mr.. Trefry
gives his wife the credit.
At the formal opening given Friday
September 9, roses were given to the
ladies who called, and each of the men
received a fine pair of pliers.
From Kansas avenue there is a fine
driveway leading to the service sta
ton. Connected with this is the Of
flee of the service station manager.
In the rear of the first floor is the
receiving room for cars to be repaired,
space for washing cars, and a battery
service station completely equipped.
A large. elevator carries cars to be
repaired to the shop room on the sec
ond floor. At the east end, which is
wonderfully ventilated by a series of
large windows, is a miniature factory,
supplied with special machinery for
remedying any Ford trouble. On this
floor are kept the tools which are
checked out by the man in charge to
the various mechanics. There is also
on this a complete stock of Ford parts
and accessories, washrooms and lock-
ers for the men.
The third floor is given over to sur
plus stock, Fordson tractors, farm ma
chinery, new and used cars.
The entire plant of the Trefry Mo-
tor company is characterized by two
leading features, cleanliness and sys-
tenn. s1
