Ill settled down to q term of enthus-
astic accomplishment, isn't it good
time for parents and school trustees
to show their appreciation of the
work of the teacher? Next to the

their general growth and develop

be far more effective if the children

Truste as Ancient as Pyramids.

Like many other things supposed to
be entirely modern, trusts are by no
means new features Of life. They are,
indeed, at least as ancient as the pyra-
mids. 1t appears that the earliest
form Of trust was the cornering Of
fOodstuffs by monarchs and their
agents. Assyrian records 1000 or
5000 years old give accounts Of these
monopolistic transactions by tyran-
meal rulers.

Everything was excitement and
noise in the large hall Of the settle

gram began at the hour stated. Be
fore long Esther heard her name an

same breath, she murmured, "Oh,

She threw back her head with an
exalted air. George was going to hear
her sing. She must do more than her
best.
Never did she sing with such spirit
and vigor. She seemed truly inspired.
Her cup of JOY was full. The burst OF
applause which met her ears showed

NvER a span of years that meas
~ ures nearly the entire lifetime
of the automobile industry, there has
developed a deep-rootcd respect for
the name Pierce-Arrow.
= From the beginning, the makers of
Pierce-Arrow definitely have sought
this respect. They believed then, as
now, that a product of uncommon
quality-designed and built to excel
is bound to win preference. And
they knew then, as now, that the price
Of this inevitable leadership would
be ceaseless vigilance and a constant
striving toward still higher attainment.
And so, in America, the name
Pierce-Arrow has come to have an
almost generic meaning. Uncon-
sciously it springs to the lips of the
, 1923-03-27

man on the street as the descriptive
term for the capsheaf of quality.
This widespread and acknowledged
respect is now more pronounced than
ever. 1t is reflected directly in the
increasing public demand for the
products which bear the Pierce-Arrow
n~ameplate.
Specifically, this years sales at thi.
writing show an increase of $780,
over those of the corresponding period
Of 1922.
