that would grow as well IS his busl- ness. He visited Birmingham, spent some time sizing up the SS,0OO com munity. Landed in the business dis trict and has been in the heart of the business district ever since.
 There is a mistaken idea about MT. Pizitz that it is just as well to correct here as anywhere else. It has been said that three years ago MT. Pizitz could not read. He has been carrying on business communi- cation for over thirty years. Last week an employe handed him a page long business letter, single spaced typewritten, his eye flashed over it and he rapidly dictated an answer. A man who has been able to read but three years could not have read a third of the way in the time it took him to read the letter and dictate his answer.
 Knows Every Detail.
 In half an hour spent with MT. Pizitz in his office and about the store he was not once heard to re- peat an order or to hesitate a mo- ment before giving an answer. The questions asked him were about his business, he did not have to make further inquiry or think up solutions,
 
 "The man I respect most" says Louis Pizitz, lis the fellow who can do things other people can't. You know what I mean, not stunts, but achievements. I admire the man who takes hold and, not only gets some where, but gets to the top. It's the man at the top who counts. Isn't that rights Not the division super intendent or the district manager, or the department head, but the man at the top. He is the one who counts That is where l want to be, at the top. I want my store to be the best in the land, in size, in scope, in values given for the money, in fit tings, the best that can be had. The new store we are opening is the most modern and best appointed in the United States. There may be some that are larger, right now, but this is the most modern, equipped with the best that can be had, air purify ing arrangements, temperature con trol, everything that will make Il pleasant for our patrons. Nothing has been left out that would make 1t the finest of it's kind that money can buy. Next year, if business con ditions are normal, we will start the second unit of the new store, on the corner. All arrangements have been made and if business is normal work will be started. When it is started into it will go the improvements de- vised, if there are any, that have come out since the present new structure was put up and equipped

BIG SHOW LETS HUGE
 EQUIPMENT CONTRACT.
Ringling- Barnum Circus Invests $1,O0O,OOO For Cars And Animals

$1,000,00O For Cars And Animals
 More than $1,o00,0OO was spent for new equipment. jungle animals. and horses by the Ringing Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined shows during the past winter. This is said to be the largest single sum of money ever expended by an amusement in- stitution.
 The average circus patron will no doubt be most interested in learning that the new purchases included more elephants, both large and small; herd of giant Italian cattle that are rare menagerie exhibits, many "cat" animals and several carloads of horses. The horses number some of the finest specimens of Arabic painted" equines ever seen in Amer ica. These are this season being most ly used by the large corps of menage riders. A portion appear in the dazzl- ing fairyland pageant which opens the big shows performances and which includes such novelties as the beautiful American Beauty float.
 The ship which transported the new animals to America also brought two additional companies of performing stallions increasing the trained equine total to more than 200 splendid animals.
 Children who attend the big show this season will delight in the baby elephants that the Ringing Brothers Aslatic representatives purchased last spring. These tiny fellows are said to have as many tricks in their trunks as the hundred clowns who take part in the performance. The fact that the bigness of the combined shows has again made the elimination

PIZiTZ BANNED HIS' FIRST S75 WITH.
 PEDDLERS' PACK.
Says He Wants His Store To Be Best In Land In
 Size And Scope

It. was with some temerity Louis Pizitz was asked to tell of his earlier days in business. It had been said he had gotten under way with small beginnings; and some men who have grown greatly are not particularly anxious about their earlier days.
 T was a peddler," is the way MT. Pizitz started it. You know what a pack is?" he asked.
 Why, yes, sort of leather effect like a valise, with lase and needles and teething rings in it, isn't it?"
 No" he replied, "a pack is de- partment store. I wasn't talking about size, then"
 So that was it, the man respected himself and his business from the start, took it seriously from the jump. It was what he chose to do. He was his own master from the be- ginning. His own boss, carrying out his own ideas, making his own money. Not taking orders or waiting for pay envelop. He carried his store on his shoulder, but it was his store.
 Carried His Pack.
 Louis Pizitz carried pack until he had cleared s75, he did not make 1t a life work, he did not wait for "the first hundred" the pack was not an avocation, but means to an end. He made it serve him. With the $75 he opened a store, bought a stock and started business under roof, in Swainsboro, Ga. It was a pleasant little town and he prospered. His business grew. He had $30,000 in bank, his business was continuing to grow, but Swainsboro was no. He closed up shop after a trip about the country in search of a community
