The Facts OF tho Case

WHEN retail business abandoned its
w cut-thrOat twO-price policy and
came out in the open with every
thing marked in plain figures and with
only one price to all consumer confidence
was established and people bought with
out fear, knowing that they were paying
no more than some one else had paid for
the same article With the adoption of
this policy passed the old "let the buyer
beware" slogan which had besmirched
the worlds business since the time of
Caesar.
Unfortunately this economically dis
honest policy still hangs on in the print
ing industry to the extent that there is no
recognized standard of quality or price
and printers are invited to get whatever
they can and give as little. The News
Champion does not subscribe to this pol
and holds that the only fair policy to all
customers is one price to all.
Our policy will continue to be "a fair
profit on every order" We will furnish
you an estimate on the cost of any work,
but we do not like to Ibid" when the or
der is to be placed with the lowest bid
der. We are willing to let the bootleg
ging printers have all the below-cost
work.
When you want good work and are
willing that we make fair profit-just
as we want you to make profit are
at your service

 Swiss md orgnndie.
 For the street in the city, or in the country for that matter, dark blue swiss with white dots has proved it. self eminently satisfactory. It is one of the smartest of materials and 1t can be made up along those plain and simple lines which serve to give the greatest satisfaction for city wear ing purposes. The prettest of them are made with lacy fronts and col lars and cuffs. these being in cream or white. And then the dresses are made up over dark blue silk founda tions so that the toning shall all be the same and so that every section of the frock shall be easy to keep clean looking. Black and white swisses are good in this same way and since direct contrasts are part of the color effect of the season, these materials fit in with the popu- lar scheme of fashion to a surpris- ing degree.
 Black orsandies are just about as good S the swisses, for they can be made up with tOucneS or pure White and worn with black and white hats until they give the best and smartest effect that it is possible to obtain at the present time. And could anything 2 be cooler and fresher than an organ die? Sometimes you will see touches of colored ribbons added to these frocks-for bindings. for edgings and for girdles or general finish. And then, again, they are quite simply maze with tucks across the skirts and fittings about the necks or any trimmings that happen to suit the individual taste or the personal man. ner of dressing.
 Ornamental Cotton Blouses.
 With the new craze for warehouses there comes those made of dark or printed or even of embroidered cot . tons. And these are particularly good for wear during the heated sum mer months along with serge skirts or flannel ones or those made of any sort of lightweight wooden material. As you go about through the shops you will not only find blouses of this general character all ready made up but you will find the most delightful bits of fabrics to be bought by the yard and from which, if you are clever with the needle. you can make the most satisfactory sort of blouses for yourself. The pleated skirts are by far the best to use in this connec- tion for they are becoming to all but the broadest of figures and the blouses fit in with their lines in tht happiest manner

 How will I know it?" you ask. I can't tell you that. By keeping your eyes open; knowing what's going on around you; knowing how other peo- pie are doing their jobs. and then having enough confidence in yourself to ask for an opportunity when you see one.

 Here is my outstanding observa- tion, S result of experience and re- ceiving hundreds of condolences of business workers: That most of us think that chances for success lie just around the corner. and we're so busy looking outside for these chances that we never stop to study and investi gate whether or not there are chances right in our present jobs.

 Are you waiting for an opportunity to come to you, or do you realize that one has to keep ones eyes open and seize opportunities as soon as they exist?
