She can't stop to listen

THIS young woman has
! just bought a pair Of shoes.
She needs, or will soon need,
some dainty hosiery, a pair Of
dancing pumps, and other fem
inine requisites that this store
sells.
But she is in a hurry and
can't stop to hear about them
now.
Suppose you were this mer-
chant. Would you let her leave
without an effort to sell her
these other articles! i
She can't stop to listen to
your story-but she can take
it away; and, when she has time,
she will read it.
She is going to buy that
hosiery and those pumps
somewhere.
An attractive little folder or
booklet, enclosed in the pack
age she is carrying home, would
remind her, just as you would
have reminded her if she had

not been in a hurry, that you
sell those very articles she needs.
A few good pictures in that
folder or booklet would show
them to her-just as you would
have shown them to her if
you'd had the chance.
A well prepared and attrac.
lively printed booklet or folder
enclosed with every package
that leaves yoMr factory or store
would interest the buyer in
other articles you make or sell.
Furthermore, it would prob
ably be seen and read by the
buyers family, and perhaps her
friends and neighbors also.
And, as more people become
interested in your product,
more people will buy it.

Postmaster Calls For Savings Stamps.
 Issues of IS and 'fe

Postmaster Macdonald has received 8 letter of eongratulation from F. c. Ayres. Director, U. s. Savings Organ ization, First Federal Reserve Dis trict. on the success achieved by his office in December in connection with the issue Of Treasury Savings Certifi- cates.
 During December there were sold for cash and issued in exchange for the 1919 War Savings Stamps which ma tured on January lst. 80 9,6S0 worth of Treasury Savings Certificates. MT. Ayres states that this Is record to be proud of and gives to Putnam a per capita average which compares favor ably with any in New England.
 Postmaster Macdonald declares that the new issue of Treasury Savings Certificates which went on sale Decem- Der 1st, last. IS proving very popular as an investment. He learns from Director Ayres that incomplete re- turns for December indicate an in- vestment of nearly $i .000,0 ,000 for New England and upwards of $25.000, ,000 for the entire country.
 He wishes to remind his patrons to look up their 1918 and 1919 issues of War Savings Stamps and bring them to him for cash redemption or ex. change to Treasury Savings Certifi. cates without delay. The further ac. emulation of interest ceased when these issues matured on January l 1923, and January 1. 1924, respect lively, but there are still many stamps of both issues outstanding.
 Any money involved in these securi- ties is now idle and should be reinvest- ed in Treasury Savings Certificates at once so that it will continue to pro duee an income for the owner and be safe from every possibility of loss.

Travelling Salesman Here
Says Waco Millionaire
Stole Wife's Love.
$500, 900 HEART BALM
William L. Evans Names
John F. Wright Of Waco
Correspondent.

John T. Wright. millionaire banker
of Waco, Tex. was name correspond
ent in divorce suit filed by William
II. Evans against Nolie Evans in the
Ninety-fourth District Court Friday
morning. Evans is a travelling sales
man of San Antonio. Mrs. Evans
is said TO be with her mother in
Waco at the present time.
The divorce suit filed Friday is an
echo to a 100000 damage suit filed
in the Forthwith District Court n
week ago last Tuesday in which Evans
seeks TO recover this amount from
Wright on the ground that Wright
alienated the affections Of Mrs. Evans.
1his suit. as was the divorce suit,
was filed by David Watson and D..
Il. Chaplin. San Antonio attorneys.
, In the divorce petition Evans sets
out that he and his wife were mar
ried in 1921 and lived happily to-
gether until January, 1924 when. abe
cause of the misconduct of the defend
ant, plaintiff was compelled to separ-
ate from her."
The petition refers TO an alleged
meeting between Mrs. Evans and
Wright on December Is, 1923 and
on January $ 1924. In the second
instance the petition names the exact
place of the alleged meeting. The
petition also sets out generally that
Mrs. Evans and Wright were at q
hotel in Austin where it is alleged
thew occupied the same room.
The petition in the damage suit
filed last week alleges that Wright
visited the Evans home in San An,
tonic last fall and "mnlicionsly and
wickedly" took advantage of F ans
hospitality 81 gained an j.,fluence
over Mrs. Evans, thereby alternating
her affections. Mrs. Evans, il al
legged. was flattered by Wright's at
tentions. Wright, the petition further
alleges, had known Mrs. Evans from
childhood.
