RETAILERS CAN

1T is true that the retailers OF our

all OF these problems can be met II

commonly said that the stock market

DO Unto Others

Seattle manufacturer who is known ardent
supporter Of Northwest Products, made the follow
ing remark about another Seattle manufacturer who
made a different line Of goods:
when he buys the goods i make / viii buy the
goods he makes"
This is a wrong principle. If everybody waited for
the other fellow, no Northwest goods would ever be
sold in the Northwest.
If il is a sound business principle that patronize
our home industries whenever possibe-and it is--t
is each mans duty to keep his record clear;
a good example does more than many words
If we are to build up and maintain that spirit Of
neghborly cooperation that spells success for
munity, nothing is necessary but consistent, in
dvdual observance Of that changeess rule Of right
living which begins,

UNION PAVING
is QUICK JOB
Cars Return Monday After
Only 30 Day Absence

While the bursting OF the water
main at Sixth and Union may upset
the original plans. the fact remains
that up until then Il was planned
10 reroute the cars over the new
Union ST. paving on Monday. and
that this was TO have marked the
completion Of what engineers say IS
one Of the fastest paving jobs ever
put thru in Seattle. Whether the
undermining Of the street Is suffi.
cient 10 prevent the running Of the
cars win be determined by excavs.
TONS now going on.
The cars were taken off Union
ST. on June rs. making the loss
OF time on account OF paving
Just thirty days. Careful ad-
vance planning and the installation
of concrete at top speed made this
record possible. in spite Of the fact
that II ordinarily takes 30 days for
the curing OF concrete. according
to Assistant City Engineer Tiede-
mann.
Before street cars were taken off
Union ST.. Contractor J. l.. Smith
paved the blocks from Second TO
Third ayes. and from Eighth to
Ninth ayes. These were given the
full 30 days to set before traffic
was all allowed back. Then the
heavy traffic portions OF the street
were paved first. all the street in.
tersections being taken care OF
ahead of the intervening space.
This gave practically the full 80
days for those portions Of Union ST.
getting the heaviest use and enabled
the opening of the thoroughfare in
record time.
