uENRY FORD'S offer for the TAX

nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals was re-
ferred to the agricultural committee
of the senate. Acceptance of the offer
was urged by Senator Underwood of
Alabama, Democratic leader, and ii
was predicted the committee would
recommend it. But in the house mill
tary affairs committee the Ford prop
ositlon was having hard Shedding Sec
rotary Of War Weeks was called there
as witness and his testimony must
have been rather saddening to the au-
tOmObile magnate. 1t was thus sum

ent:
That Ford will pay S5,000,0O0 for
that portion of the Muscle Shoals
project which has already cost the
government $l06,000000.
That the government, to complete
the project, must spend S40,000,00O to
S50,0O0,000 additional, which Ford will
repay under exceedingly liberal terms
That the government can realize be-
tween SS,000,0O0 and S16,000,0OO salv-
age on the project which Ford wants
to buy for S5,000,000.
That the government can realize
more for the Warrior river plant and
neighboring property than Ford Is
willing to pay for the entire Muscle
Shoals undertaking.
In reply to direct question as to
what he would do with the offer If he
were member Of congress, the sec
rotary said he would vote to accept 1t
II he thought certainly 1t would pro-
duce cheaper fertilizer for the farm

as to this, and he believed Ford and

"WAR" broke ont in Ireland
w again last week, this time be-
tween the Irish themselves and along
the Ulster border. Presumably be-
cause they had not learned that three
political prisoners sentenced TO death

who were identified with the army of
the Irish republic invaded Ulster and
carried oil scores of prisoners, doing
also lot of shooting. A few of the
captured men were released at once,
but the others were held. supposedly

counties ut once blazed with indigna-
ton and thousands Of armed men
swarmed to the border and formed a
line of steel there.
OF course the provisional govern
ment of the Irish Free State was not
responsible for the kidnaplngs, nor
could ii prevent them. 1t was be-
lleved by some that the attacks were
planned largely to embarrass Michael
Collins and his colleagues.
Owen O'Duffy, chief OF staff of the
Irish republican army, issued this
statement:

T TWENTY YEARS

Twenty years of financial success might we'll be writ
ten over the doors of the Perth Amboy Trust Company TODAY
on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary which it is now
celebrating. From a small business venture inancied main
ly by outside capital, it has grown into an established insti-
tuition owned almost exclusively by Perth Amboy men. It is
the largest banking house of its kind in Middlesex county
and ranks among the leading trust companies of the state.
The growth and development of the Perth Ambov Trnst
Company is a striking evidence of the progress Perth Am
boy has made during the past twenty years. If the business
were not here it would not have been possible for a bank 10
prosper as this one has. 1t is on the occasion of an anniver-
sary OF this kind that we can get a retrospect over a period
that really counts for something. AS we live our lives from
day to day the petty things that are constantly occurring.
loom up out of all proportion to their Importance. In twenty
years only the things worth while stand out and we can see
what has really been accomplished.
just as the Perth Amboy Trust Company compares its
100000 capital of twenty years ago with its present CAPT.
tai, surplus and undivided profits of over half a million dol
lars, and its first days deposits of less than $4,000 with
its present deposits of over 1000, 900, so can Perth AmfJovI
draw a comparison of the city as it was twenty years ago
with what it is today and see the great strides that have been
taken toward the building up of a great city here at the head
ofRarltan bay. 1t is when we look at our progress over such
a number of years that we can appreciate what we have
done and how far we have gone. Such a view ought to in
spire us to carry on" so that another twenty years will
show the city equally as far advanced.
And right here is where we get inspiration from the
success of the Perth Amboy Trust Company. 1t has been
built up on a spirit of optimism, with the utmost confidence
and faith in the future of Perth Amboy. Never has there
been the slightest hesitancy to go forward. A short time
ago the capitalization of the trust company was doubled.
This step was taken so that the bank could do a bigger bust
ness, accommodate larger borrowers in keeping with the
growth of the city. 1t was this idea also that caused the
trust company to join the Federal Reserve System, although
there is no compulsion on the part of trust companies to do
so. The policy has always been to keep, if possible, just a
little ahead of the city and the fact that the Perth AmboyI
Trust Company has moved forward so fast proves that Perth
Amboy is moving ahead rapidly in spite of the short sighted
ness of some of its citizens and their refusal to climb on the
bandwagon and boost.

MAKING MONEY

Ambitious young men, trying to get ahead, will be inter-
ested in the story of the 17-year-old railroad station agent at
North Redwood, MINI. His name? Richard W. Sears. Dick
kept his eyes open for opportunities. Finally one came.Av
A shipment of watches arrived and was refused by the
local dealer to whom they were consigned. Dick wrote the
makers and arranged to sell the timepieces.
For customers he wrote railroad friends up and down
the line. In his letters he did not offer something for ro'i'i7r.
painting golden promises. Instead, he said he had good watches
which he would sell at a very small margain of profit. In de
scribing them he went into elaborate details, which was the
next best thing to putting the watches before the eyes of the
prospective buyer.
The watch deal proved so successful that young Sears
quit his railroad job and went into the mail order business.
ALI this was in 1884.
The mail order business started by young Sears is now
known as Sears, Roebuck & Co.
Last wear. when its sales fell off heavily, it still pulled
through with over SITS, 100000 Of orders.
Al this was done by mail among the firms 100000 Gus
toners. It's catalogs, in describing articles, still go into as
minute details as when young Sears was marketing his first
gold watches.
Isn't it inspiring, to consider an accomplishment OF such
size? Here was a young fellow, marooned in a small village,
so dull that only two trains a day went through. 1t was about
the last place on earth that most of us would look for a big
opportunity. And, after thinking it over, it will be realized
that Sears did not find his opportunity, he created 1T.
Opportunity is in the individual Geographical location
has very little to do with it.
And what Sears did, starting in his dusty telegraph office,
can be duplicated today by other young men, provided they
have vision and H'the real stuff" in them.
