The week of January 80 to Febru-
airy will be a boom week for the
merchants of Lakeland. The Mer-
chants Institute will be in progress
during that entire time under the
auspices of Stockdale Service. Inc

utation from coast to coast as an in
dispensable aid to promoting better
business for the local merchants.
Mr. Frank Stockdale, president of
Stockdale Service. In:.. is one of the
few authorities on retail store man
agement and selling. He will spend
his entire time with the merchants Of
Lakeland in getting them together
for a shoulder-to-Shoulder talk in
obtaining bigger and better bust
ness He will talk on many interest
ing business questions of today. and
show from his wide experience and
knowledge along these lines how the
merchants of Lakeland can make this
city a better place to buy
Every day of the last four days of
the institute the merchants will hold
round table discussion under Mr..
Stockdale's leadership. Some of the
questions that viii be considered will
he plans for widening the trade or
business territory of Lakeland; prob
of Lakeland stores as related to stock
keeping: business building ideas that
have worked successfully for mer-
chants in other cities; problems Of
management as related to buying.
display. advertising and over account
in selling. These round table discus
sions should be very valuable for all
who attend because they will be TO-
cused primarily on local conditions as
they prevail in Lakeland.
At Topeka. Kansas. during their
Merchants Institute the merchants of
Topeka discussed 105 questions of i'm
portance at their round table discus
sions, and solved every single one OF
them to their complete satisfaction.
More problems were solved and more
things brought to light at that time
than at any other time in the mer-
chants business history of Topeka.
1t can do the same for Lakeland
and the merchants are eagerly look
ing forward to 1t.

ment and found to be in strict COM
pliance with the provisions of the
national defense acts, which author
lied the government to acquire the
properties and build the plants during
the war.
Under the express junction of con-
gress written into that law. it was
said. it was impossible for Mr.. Weeks
to have accepted or rejected the Of
fer of Henry Ford with a yes" or
no answer. or to have taken any
other action than he did in deciding
to refer the question to congress for
decision.
Departmental officers recalled that
when Secretary Weeks first consider
ed the question of disposing of the
Muscle Shoals properties to private
interests, he made it clear that any
offer he received would be referred
to congress before final decision in
volving either it's acceptance or re-
lection. could be made. 1t was recog =
nized from the lightning of the
transaction, it was said, that the war
secretary did not have authority to
dispose of the properties in question
and was therefore unable to do more
than forward the proposals from pri-
vate enterprises interested in Muscle
Shoals to congress.
