ASSOCIATED WITH
GOOD FURNITURE
Established Business in In

Made in Own Shops,

Since the year 1906 the name Of
Oilar has been closely associated with
the furniture business Of Indianapolis.
A reputation for handling good furni-
ture was established by this firm, and
the reputation has been retained
through all these years by George H
Oilar. who has continued his connec-
ton with retail furniture dealing in
the city ever since.
George H Oilar remained in the
business wher Oilar Brothers store
was sold to the Foster Furniture Com
pany Of Fit. Wayne which also had
branches in Lafayette and FIT Wayne.
He was vice president and general
manager Of the Foster company until
1919, when he took over the manage
ment Of the Foster store in the Wins
low Bid, On w. Market st.
When this store was sold George H.
Oilar and his son, Willard Y. Ollar,
formed an Incorporation known as
the Oilar Furniture Shops, estab-
hshed a retail store at 2S1 Massa-
chusettts Ave. Mr.. Oilar and his son
also purchased the Foster Upholster-
ing Shops, and installed them in
part { the building their store now
occupies with William II. Spearing as
foreman.
In the Oilar Furniture Shops are
found furniture Of up-to-date design,
a varied Line of floor coverings, and
a selection OF upholstered suites, all
made by expert workmen in the Oilar
Upholstery Shops. The Oilar com
pany has been successful in the store
hat was opened Jan. /, 1923. and Mr..
Oilar and his son feel justified in an.
ucpating an ever greater success.
Another son Of Mr.. Oilar. Rozier D.
Oilar. Jr., has made a considerable sue
cess in the furniture business. AL
though only &c years Of age. Rozier
Oilar is buyer OF furniture for the

The Smuck Company's store is To-
Gated at 109 S. Meridian st. Here
the company had built up large pat

departments. The management OF the
store found that dining room and lv-
ing room furniture could be supplied
It's customers. and so gave over
large part Of the first floor to these
new lines.
In carrying an unusually complete
line Of rugs. carpets and linoleums
OF all kinds, the Smuck Company of
fers a wide variety Of materials from
which floor coverings for the home
can be selected. The Smuck store has
become known over all Indianapolis
because Of the fact that in It's stock
are carried all odd-sized rugs not prac-
tical for general house furnishing
stores to carry.

PARIS, December S.-The commun-

dismayed by the governments re-
pressive measures.
After meeting at the headquar-
a group of radicals formed a process
sion and marched two miles to the
eastern railroad terminus singing
the 'Internat;onale." They were scat

Another band attended the inaugu-
ration of a local soldiers memorial
at st. Aines, a northern suburb of
Paris, and downed the speakers at
tempts with cheers for Lenin, and
the singing of the 'ThternationaIe !"
The were dispersed by police reserves.
Stronger Measures Asked.
Such activities are noted by the
press, particularly the nationalist Or
gans, which declare Premier Herriot's
measures OF repression are a farce
and are dangerous because they cre-
ate false security and encourage the
Communists by their weakness.

Orders have been given for the po-

all trains entering France and, IL
necessary, to patrol the frontier
roads. The papers of all travellers
are being carefully scrutinized.
Under a proposed system which
would become effective January l.,
those desiring to enter the country
would be given only permits to pro-
ceed to their destination in France.
Then they would be required to
apply in the regular way for per-
manent papers.

SUICIDE STORY DOUBTED.
Belgrade Police Report Staying
Evidence.

By the Associated Press.
BELGRADE, Jugoslayia, December
S.-The shooting of Henry Dayton,
American vice consul at Belgrade,
and the killing of a young woman.
Anna Ousoupaitais, in his home, are
still a mystery. The police have
completed their inquiry and sent
opened an Investigation
An autopsy and careful examina-
tion of the scene of the tragedy, ac-
cording to the police, appear to have
established the following facts:
Fired at Distance.
First. Anna Ousoupaitais was struck
by q bullet above the temple: the
bullet came out at the nape Of the
neck, ricocheting OF q wall. Tho
shot apparently was fired at a cer-
tain distance, as the girls hair was
not singed.
$ second. Blood stains found on the
door handles and soap in the bath
room came from the hands Of Dayton.
Third. The presence. of hairs in the
barrel Of tho revolver that the dead
woman held in her hand shows that
the weapon was handled after the
last shot was hred from It Blood
vessels in Anna's foroarms were cut,
but not severed, and no blood had
spurted on her hands or sleeves.
The police further sfflrm that
while the position OF the wounds in
the occipital region of Dayton's head
confirm that he was shot from be-
hind, the position Of the woman's
body and other indications make the
theory that she committed suicide
highly Improbable.
The condition Of the vice consul II
still grave. He recovered conscious
ness today, and the Judge desired to
take his deposition. but postponed
this action In deference to the wishes
ed man because Of his extreme
weakness.
