The Congressional Situation

One of the Ohio Republican con-
gressmen who opposed President
Coolidge and aided in overriding his
vetoes fell by the wayside in the
recent primaries. The blow fell
upon Israel M. Foster of Athens in
August; it is being saved for some
| of the other congressman so as to
be delivered in November.
/ C. Ellis Moore is deserving of de-
! feat just as much as was Israel M
Foster, and with the heavy protest
vote that was cast in the primaries
against Mr.. Moore, and the class of
intelligent voters that were lined up
against him in support of his oppo-
nents it is unlikely that he can
make his explanations and apologies
satisfactorily enough to pull very
large number of these protestants
back into line.
This district has never been very
we'll satisfied with the service rem
dered for it in congress by Mr..
Moore, although he has been elected
three times, and has now been nom
mated for his fourth term. Very
seldom has he been heard of in
Washington, and the Fifteenth dis
trict has suffered by not being per-
I.:tted to take the prominent place
in congress to which it is entitled.
Is it good policy for this district
to continue to be feebly represented,
when he have a number of men in
both political parties who could fit
tingly and ably represent us? We
think not.
The Democrats have put forward
one Of their strongest and ablest
men in the nomination of James R.
Alexander. Everyone who knows
him believes that he would be
power for good in the halls of con-
gress, and would leave an impress
that would reflect great credit upon

Storing Woolcns To Keep Out Moths

With the spring house cleaning
season in full swing and with the
time at hand for storing winter
wraps, furs, blankets, and other
woolen articles, entomologists of the
Ohio Experiment Station call atten-
ton to some precautions which may
be followed to prevent injury from
moths during the summer.
First, all materials to be stored
should be thoroughly aired, shaken,
and brushed to destroy any moth
eggs or larvae with which they al
ready may be infested To neglect
this is but to invite disaster for even
very small moth colony may in
crease and do great harm during the
warm summer months when the in
sects are most active.

this is a Republican district. If, in

vive his disloyalty to President Cool

trench himself in his congressional

the consumer. Now it is possible to
visit one building in which the 500
leading furniture manufacturers of
the United States are housed, and do
all of your shopping under one
roof.
From the 10000 square feet oc-
cupied by the largest exhibitor down
to the typical space of 1000 square
feet, l found in the American Furni-
ture Mart every conceivable article
for household equipment.
"The result was that 1 could COM
pare lines of furniture under one
roof, reduce the transportation ex-
penses, and buy in the cheapest mar
ket. All of this saving is revealed in
the lower prices that we will be able
to quote local consumers.
-'One of the pleasing incidents of
the Chicago visit was the luncheon
given by the Chicago Association of
Commerce to visiting furniture men,
at which General Charles G. Dawes,
Republican nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent, was the guest of honor, intro
ducing Lawrence H. Whiting, bank
er and fiscal agent of the American
Furniture Mart, and the outstanding
figure in the furniture world.
"The banquet, given to furniture
men, at the Hotel Drake, on the
night of the dedication of the build
ing by former Governor Edwin p
Morrow of Kentucky, was one of the
most brilliant spectacles I have ev-
er seen. More than 2,100 persons
were seated on the main floor of the
Drake Hotel, and were dined and
entertained from z P. NJ. until mid
night. There were 800 walters in at
tendance and 800 serving maids as
sisting the walters. This banquet
was given by the manufacturers as
complimentary entertainment for
the visiting furniture buyers.
"The beautiful displays created by
many of the manufacturers and the
intelligent efforts that are being
made to harmonize home furniture
and decoration will undoubtedly be
a great stimulant to those interest /
ed in the development of better Am
erican homes"
Mr.. Miller predicted the fall sea-
son in the retail business will be the .
largest ever known in America.

VISITED FURNITURE MART IN
CHICAGO

10 nave participated in the forma
opening and dedication of the Amer
lean Furniture Mart, 666 Lake Shore
Drive, Chicago-the worlds largest
building-and to have attended the
banquet in the history of Chicago
given to visiting furniture men has
been the unusual and interesting ex-
perience of Mr.. Nathan Miller. Pres
ident, and J. G. Craig, Advertising
Manager of Miller Brother, who have
recently returned to Wilmington.
Dedicated to better American
homes" and designed that manufac-
turers might assist the retail furni-
ture consumer in arranging attrac-
tive window and store displays, the
opening of the American Furniture
Mart in Chicago meant to those who
participated. in it what it would
mean to banker if there were but
one gigantic bank building in the
United States.
From trade standpoint, the Chic
ago market, as now created by the
American Furniture Mart Building.
exhausted all previous records in
any other city by almost 100 per
cent and to have participated in the
thirty days activities, Mr.. Miller de-
clares, was in itself an education in
furniture marketing.
In speaking of his recent trip to
Chicago, Mr.. Miller said today:
"The revolution in furniture deal
ing created by the American Furni-
ture Mart already has it's effect in
new and more attractive designs,
substantial output, and increased
marketing facilities, all of which
will benefit the home furnisher in
decreased cost and better materials.
"I was astounded to find in the
very heart of Chicago, overlooking
Lake Michigan, in the district made
famous by Cap Streeter,' a sixteen
story building, one block wide, and
two block long, occupied by more
than 500 furniture manufacturers.
"It has heretofore been necessary
for the furniture dealers from out
lying cities to visit half a dozen fur
niture centers, widely scattered
the United States. This
travel and consequent hotel bills, in
expenses, ETC., has all had
to be charged to the cost of mer-
chandising and borne eventually by |
