BOSCH MAGNETIC
co. in HIGHEST
MARK OF CAREER

Gross sales made bv the branches
he American Bosch Magnetic corp
tion during the first half of the
sent year exceeded those of the
six months of 1922, and even
Sc made during corresponding
months of the "boom'' years Of
1919 and 1920.
These facts were disclosed at a
meeting of Bosch branch managers
held at New York this week and re-
porsed In a letter just received by
the Electrical Service company, the
official Bosch representative in this
city.
1t was the opinion of the various
branch managers who went to the
meeting fresh from the field that,
while the best half of the year had
been passed, the 1923 peak month
for accessory sales was still TO be
established. This will probably be
August.
Much of the confidence in contin-
ued good business was based upon
fundamentals such as continuance
of employment in practically all
Fields, absolute lack of dealer over
tocfs, collections uniformly good
nd general credit conditions ex-
ellent. These basic conditions as
re the value and resultfulness of
9per selling methods being keenly
3lied.
VIII Study Conditions
ii can be seen from the foregoing
TT the Bosch corporation intends
watch and study trade conditions,
lending its major efforts in ere
ing business where it seems in
sufficient business is being secur
I'd, and seeking to obtain more bust
ness wherever it now finds business
to be good.
Relative stability of business
seems assured, .inasmuch as there
is no evidence of abnormal eondi
tions like those which prevailed in
1920 and 1921. This is in spite
of the more or less upset conditions
which seem to exist in the stock
market.
Business need never rise as ac
eutely as it did in l9lSls nor drop
as abruptly as it did in 1921. We
all must prepare to meet the cond!
tions of the natural law of supply
and demand-in ever growing prob
lens that sales managers in every
line of business have got to face
ntelligently sooner or later if they
are to remain sales .managers-e.s.- = /

Shellacing Rims

You win find that it is a simple
matter to remove a tire from a rim
that has been shellaced. Clean your
tire rims and paint them with
shellae the next time you remove
tire and then allow it to thoroughly
dry before you attempt to put the
tire ON again. You will be surprised
to see how easily the tire comes off.
Graphite is also recommended for
this purpose-just paint the rims
with thin film.

1.-THE MAsoUERADER" COMING
WEDNESDAY AND THNRspAY

Like most successful plays, "The
Masquerader' was written and re-.
written for its stage presentation.
Consequently there has long been
some uncertainty as to just who wrote
the novel, the play and now the seen
ario for the film version starring Guy
Bates Post, which will be the feature
attraction at the Peerless Theatre on
next Wednesday and Thursday. The
original novel was from the prolific
pen Of Katherine Cecil Thurston, one
of England's best known writer's; the
play was by John Hunter Booth, with
emendations by Richard Walton Tll-
ly, who produced it on the stage as
well as for the films; the screen yer.
sion, which has been distributed thru
First National, was prepared by Tully

ut is through Stories," she said,
that you bring out the best in chill
dren, for they unconsciously try
themselves to enact the ideals which
they find embodied in what they
hear. Plan stories which will make
children happy, for when children are
happy they are at their best. Con-
sideration must be given to the diff
ferent groups of children. Older
girls and boys often like the same
stories which appeal to younger ones,
for they live over again their own
experiences. There is the group of
very small children, who like stories
of home life and pets. The next
age wants fairy stories. When they
are little older they want to hear
of heroes, animals, and adventure.
They are interested in stories Of in
ventions and true stories Of real

COLORADO YEAR BOOK

1928, is now being distributed by the
State Immigration department. The
book contains 10 pages, including a

ence book.
This is the sixth number Of the
Year Book the first having been pub.
lished by the immigration department
in 1913. Since that time it has been
improved each year, until the present
number may be regarded as the most
complete statistical reference book
state has yet issued. 1t contains the
same number of pages as the 1929
book, but the 1922 book contained sew
eral tables compiled from preliminary
reports of the 1920 census, all OF
which have been replaced this year
by new tables prepared by the depart
ment chiefly from it's own surveys.
Included among the new matter is O
table showing the average, maximum
and minimum length of the growing
season at the principal weather re-
porting stations in the state. This is
compiled from records of the weather
bureau in response to a demand for
this character of information, espec-
tally from people who contemplate
undertaking farming operations in the
state.
The book contains 26 maps, charts
and graphs, illustrating the distribu-
ton Of the various crops among the
several counties in the state, the dist
ribution Of live stock, distribution OF
various classes of land, prices of farm
products and other features of the
states development.

THEGREAT coMMoNER
Edgar Murray rs lincoln

Probably the greatest contribution
TO dramatic literature In the past
ten years is Ralph Thomas Ketter-
ing's remarkable and engrossing his
torical comedy-drama tLincoln tho
Great Commonerj, an inspiring and
highly idealized conception in play
form of the greatest American. Mr..
kettering has penncd not only n
play which has astonished and in
trigued the English speaking people
bv its remarkable and virile beauty,
but he has added to literature n work
so beautifully wrought and filled with
such n wealth OF artistry that IL will
remain for great many years u
shining example of dramatic produc-
ton of this age.
The problems OF Lincoln and in
fact his life's work are cpitomiked
and set forth with remarkable clarity
and with intense interest in this
great Abraham Lincoln play.

New York producer, who Ia to bring
