Planned Unless Right
Price Obtained.

Washington, ID. G., April IA
decision was reached by President
Harding and members of the Ship

the consolidation Of the boards for
eign trade lines and then offer these
lines and ships for sale under the au-
thorization of the merchant marine
act of 1920, conditioned on suitable
guaranty of maintained service.
The program further provides that,
il the government finds itself unable
to sell the ships and lines without
"justifiable sacrifice" the policy then
will be to proceed to direct govern

to pass the administration shipping
bill, are said to have shown that
both the President and majority
of the Shipping Board are strongly
opposed to government operation
Such course will be entered upon
only as last resort, it was ex'

A Worthwhile Reputation

TINE head of one of this countrys great manufacture
L ing institutions says:
"The man Who builds and the man Who bugs
are both bemeficiaries Of reputation. To the
one 1t is continuous spur and incentiUe-to
the other, the strongest of all guarantees that
Uhdt he buys is aUorthy."
s. Patronize the manufacturer or merchant who has
reputation for honesty and fair dealing. Such mo-
tves must actuate the consistent advertiser. The
who invests real money in building reputation for
himself and his merchandise cannot afford to risk
of by taking unfair advantage of his customers He
must retain the goodwill of the buying public With
out this his business cannot succeed.
~ Every time he advertises he puts his reputation in
your hands His products the wares he has for sale
must make good. His service must be advertised
" That is why pays to read advertisements, to deal
with advertisers and to buy advertised goods.
