When Mr.. Gingrich first saw
the new model he shook his head

such a car can be sold in Salem

GIBBS OPENS FIFTH STORE
Topeka CIothieu Adds to His Chain at
Hastings, Neb.

The immediate opening at Hastings,
Neb., Of the fifth link in the Gibbs
chain of clothing stores was an
nounced today by f. C. Gibbs, owner
of the two stores here.
Belief in the merchandise advant-
age of large scale buying for several
stores, whereby the public is given the
advantage of buying at the lowest pos
sible quotations, has lead Gibbs to
work continually toward the develop
ment of a real chain of stores. His
successful busine Ss endeavors are suf-
ficient indication of his adherence to
right principles of mercha ndising and
point out that the next few years will
see continuation in the development
of his chain of clothing stores.
After considering the entire state of
Nebraska, Gibbs finally selected Hast
lngs as presenting, in his estimation.
the most attractive possibilities of any
city in the state. TT is located in the
heart of an agricultural district"
Gibbs says. The local business men
are alive. wide awake, have an opti-
mistic outlook for the future. believe
in their city and in their trade ter
ritory. Hastings is a progressive place
and am convinced of the possibilities
Of development"
Gibbs two stores here are evidence
of his opinion of Topeka trade terri
tory. He has always followed the
policy of locating as nearly as possible
IN the center OIL the I1neSt farming QlS-
tricts.
Gibbs has had the deal under con-
s.deration for several months and was
this week successful in closing a lease
for a modern store building in one of
the best locations in the city.

policy of choosing his managers from

in the Topeka stores.

There is still the same wizard like ia

FARMERS SHOULD ADVERTISE
Kansas Editors Would Place Rural
Viewpoint Before Public.

The present IS not a propitious time
for an active campaign to obtain adj
Vertising of farmers products in Kan
sas, according to a report of the COM
mlttee on agricultural advertising of
the Kansas State Editorial associa-
ton, submitted to the association at
its final session today.
The present low prices of farm pro-
duce are really an argument for the
heavier use of advertising by the
niZed the difficulty of getting the
farmers to see this fact, because of
their lack of familiarity with the sub
ject, the report states.
The rehort gives a detailed state
ment of the results uncovered in a
survey of newspaper advertising as
used by farmers, individually and by
organizations, in this and adjoining
states.
Advertising or special products in
Kansas cannot. at the present time
be so extensive as in some other states
because Kansas is not an Intensive
one-crop state, but there is a large
held here for the use of newspaper
advertising by farmers organizations.
to promote membership campaigns
and to place before the general pub
lie as well as before the farmers the
viewpoint of the agriculturist, the
committee report said.
The committee, which is composed
OF Prof. N. A Crawford, head of the
department of industrial journalism
at the state agricultural college: Fay
N Seaton, editor and publisher of the
Manhattan Mercury, and J. C. Deni-
Gus, of Dodge City, expressed their
Willingness, if the association saw fit
to endeavor to keep in touch with the
farmers organizations of the state and
to be of assistance in getting q wider
use of newspaper advertising by them,
in the matter of preparation of copy.
The committee will also continue its
Investigations in the field of agricul-
