PLEASING THE HOME Folks

A great deal of very second rate

these times. The best way to avoid
being disappointed by imperfect
goods, is to buy merchandise O:

sonally responsible to their local
public for the delivery OF satisfac.
tory values.
II you go into store in some
strange city, the statesmen do not
have u personal interest in you, and
feel less concern to make sure that
you are supplied with merchandise
OF first class character Also in Il
large city store. there Is not so
much feeling of responsibility for
the quality Of the goods
There are many careless and ex-
travagant people In large cities,
who do not care much whether
goods give satisfaction or not.
What they want is something that
win look pretty and stylish and last
little while. II 1t has no substan.
tia1 value, they don't care much, be
cause they keep buying new stuff
anyway. A large part of the stock
of big city stores is selected to
please such people, rather than
th0se who want quiet an substan.
tial goods.
Furthermore, the big city store
does not suffer as soon II 1t distri-
butes poor goods People will not
return goods as much as they will
in store in smaller place. 1t is
more bother to take goods back.
In town like Holly, however. the
store that distributes anything de-
fective hears from IL in very short
time. It simply has to make good
on its merchandise. or 1t would be
overwhelmed with complaints. The
mass OF It's customers are people
who do not care for display. who do
not want shams at any price. and
who resent superficial appearance
Of good quality that is not backed
up by actual facts. The whole pol
icy therefore Of our home stores is
to select goods Of substantial value
that can be distributed with entire
confidence that they will make good
and prove up to the claims made
for them.

Who Ha. the Right of way

Some drivers OF motor vehicles
seem puzzled as to who has the
right,ofway when going along a
city street, when some car enters
it from across the street. Do you
know?
Accidents might be avoided II
everybody knew the right thing
to do under such circumstances.
The rule Is that the vehicle on the
right has the right-of-way.
Suppose you are going east on
Main street. You then have the
right-of.way over anybody coming in
from the left. but anyone coming
into the street from the right Is
privileged to cross It ahead Of you.
Travelling west on Main street you
would have the right-of-way over
anybody coming In from the left,
but not from the right.
Some drivers seem to think that
an automobile on Main street has
the right-of-way over all vehicles
coming into 1t from cross streets.
but such is not the case under the
rules Of the road If you will re-
member that vehicles from the
right have the rightof-way over
those from the left. all will be we'll
and much trouble avoided. Tho
speed cop has made these sugges-
tions for the benefit of the public.

same at Whiting and East Chicago.
This is the only city in ths county
where there is any holler about utility
rates" said Bombergsr. They all have
the same rates except Gary, where they
are higher. They all fought the COM
mission jointly and Hammond did more
than any OF the others to combat the
increased rates. Why. Dan Brown has

has fought the other utilities just as

sonal interests I wouldn't be here to-

has made the best mayor the city has
ever had. One: He has kept the city
clean. Two: He has run II economical
