A Cleveland firm manufacturing mems clothing,
in which the styles huctuate by seasons, has kept
up continuous production by standardizing its
products and advertising inducements to retailers
for accepting deliveries over an extended period,
instead of only at the opening of the season.
Another Ohio corporation which makes wom-
ems clothing has achieved the same results. 1t
makes models according to carefully laid plans,
and by advertising has inspired retailers with con-
hdence in its judgment as to the goods and the
seasonal demand for them.
A Rochester mems clothing factory fills in dull
periods between seasons by making a stock of
conservative models, and advertising mid-season
sales at prices which cover overhead but leave no
profit.
Pennsylvania manufacturers of glass, formerly
very intermittent industry. have stabilized con-
siderably by lowering prices of goods ordered at
certain seasons, and advertising this reduction
Customers have taken advantage of this cut thus
spreading work over the entire year and enabling

CITY BEAUTIFICATION

If there is any one city in Florida that lends it
self peculiarly to processes of identification. it
Lakeland. The stranger who comes here for the
first time is impressed with the exceptional natural
advantages as regards location and is readily able
to draw mental picture Of the future Lakeland
with its system of boulevards connecting the chain
of lakes with which we are blessed, these boule-
wards lined with tropical and semi-tropical trees
and shrubs and made so attractive that Lakeland
will be talked about the country over. City beaut-
hcatcn has come TO be science; more than that
1t has become part of the program of every am
biticus city in the land because he reality has been
driven home that urattractive city is poor in
vestment either for the people who live therein or
for those who might become residents. 1t is just
easy to enjoy the best natural surroundings as it
is to get along with whatever conditions chance
may throw in our way.

THE QUIET VILLAGE

In Pruneye, when the clocks strike nine, the
lights go out along the line, the streets are dark
and bare; and moral citizens, at that. wind up
the clcck, turn out the cat, and to the hay re-
pair At times the citizens will go to see a
helpful movie show that some great truth ex-
pounds, or when lecturer arrives to brighten up
their quiet lives with hoarse but earnest sounds.
But breaks like these are far between; the voters
are but seldom seen away from home at night
no lights ere shining in their homes, but harmless
dreams pervade their domes, where they are
sleeping tight If you remark their lives are
tame, they'll tell you of a checker game that last
ed seven years, with final honors yet to win
and they can't why you should grin. nor
understand your sneers. Gay alexis from the
crowded narts stop there for gas to run their
carts, and gaze with high dsdain; to live in such
burg, they've said, when there are towns that
are not dead, is neither safe nor sane But Prune.
vile people, in their way, seem cheerful jubilant
and gay despite the citys jeers; in their old age
they're hale and spry, they laugh and sleep and
seldom die at less than i've score years.
