The Washington times., 1925-10-28

North, South, East and West
there, is but one feeling in regard
to the general business condition
Of the country" said President
John B. Larner, Of the Washington
Loan and Trust Company, today.
THAT feeling is that business at
the present time Is good, and that
it will continue to get better" COM
menting further, Mr.. Larner ex-
pressed the opinion that one Of the
reasons for the general improve
ment in all lines of business in the
United States in recent. years was
the fact that the business men Of
the country understand better than
ever before in the economic his
tory of the country how to handle
their BUSINESS
STOCK" said Mr.. Larner, SIS to-
day handled with more efficiency
than ever before.
1.-The internal organizations Of
business houses are more complete.
and are arranged along lines Of
scientific accuracy with the division
into departments and sections so
arranged as to give the maximum
Of service with the least amount Of
friction"
Another point stressed by Presi.
dent Larner in pointing out the
present scientific direction" Of
business was that bankers and
merchants are working upon a
basis of mutual understanding and
confidence which enhances the CO
operation possible between them to
the end that the merchant may
properly expend his undertakings
certain of the financial support re-
quired.
Mr.. Larner, also, spoke of the
splendid results accruing from the
operation of the Federal reserve
system, saying:
at believe the Federal reserve
system is the prime cause Of our
present prosperity and the main
assurance of continued prosperity
in this country"
Turning from generalization In
regard to national economic con-
ditions and prospects, Mr.. Larner
said:
1.-THE present satisfactory business
condition which obtains throughout
the country is, naturally and log
ically, reflected in Washington and
our local merchants are, today, do
ing business upon a better basis
Possibly, there is no business man
In Washington who can speak with
more authority in regard to the
past history, the present condition
and the future outlook Of Wash
ington than can Mr.. Larner, who is
bound to the city by ties that reach
far back into it's past as well as by
those of the present wherein he
has made a conspicuous success in
the fields Of law and of finance.
Mr.. Larner's great-grandfathe
was present at the founding Of the
city, his grandfather, his father and
he, himself, were all born in Wash
fnRton and have contributed in Nd
small degree to the growth and
development of the National Cap
ital.
With such traditions and with
such interests the view of the pres
ident of the Washington Loan and
Trust Company may be taken as of
exceptional value ~ estimating the
possibilities which lie ahead. His
opinions and his deductions are
based upon solid foundation OF ex-
perience and achievement.
washington" said Mr.. Larner
today, 'is more and more attract
ing the highest type of Americans
as residents. Scientific, literary
and educational men and women
who have made their mark are
seeking homes here where they
find a congenial atmosphere In
which to carry on their work.

Richest Man SaddeSt

Once a month or so he came into Port
Townsend and women who saw his gloomy
face and stumbling figure on the streets
called their children to them until he had
passed He bought sackful of cheap food
and trudged home to his solitary existence
again.
Years ago Smith came to Port Townsend.
That Sound city was booming. Wise invest
ments and quick sales of real estate made
him rich. Then the boom petered out, but
Smith stayed, . soured man, and MD away
his wealth.
He had sister folks say. With her he
never spoke. Finally she drifted away
Sunday, surrounded by his money, Smith
died. Heart disease was the cause. lie was
about 70 years old.
Near his body was an old gun, lie had
used it to brighten strangers who called at
his home, thinking they sought his money.
For all his money folks in Port Town

BY JIM MARSHALL

r OREN SMITH, a poor old man who
IL owned $4,000 in cash and hated every
body. is dead Monday at Port Townsend.
He died in tumbledown shack on his
farm, three miles from the old town, alone
No one mourns for him. Folks think he has
relatives in England, but are not sure.
Most Of the wealth Smith owned he hated
and loved at the same time. Battle of the
two emotions turned him into morbid
hater Of everything. No friends came to
his home; strangers were turned away with
angry snarls
He owned 100000 worth of Liberty
bonds, reluctantly bought in wartime when
public opinion forced the purchase For
,this reason he hated them. Because they
represented money, he loved them,
Twenty thousand dollars, in cash, were
secreted in his shack. He loved them whole
heartedly so well that he grudged spend
ing one of them.

DAVID W. HENDERSON.
II Municipal Railway Supt

Dear Dave:
See where you're going to spend $4,000 this sum-
mer ~ a big advertising campaign 10 educate the
tourists TO See Seattle by Streetcar
It's a fine idea,
II all the thousands Of tourists were like our old
stage friend who made famous the song II Don't
Know Where I'm Going. but Pm on Ny Way" your
plan would be wonderful success.
We have an idea that lot of these tourists are
going TO be hardheaded Middle West business men
who VIII have wel-deflned idea OF where they want
TO 20 and what they want % see
And you must realize yourself Dave that if there
Is some particular scenic attraction these folks want
70 visit they could never find it by street car with
the present system Of car Identification
Not with Lake Burien going TO Puget sound
South Seattle cars going north and depot cars wind
ing up In some shady residential street in the north
suburbs.
II you want our advice. we'd suggest this:
spend some Of this money in equippng your cars
with simple. comprehensive sign boards so riders viii
know definitely what points OF interest each car
passes, and where II eventually goes ms we'll
For instance le. your Ballard cars carry a board
advertising the fact that tho car passes the Smith
Cove terminal. Salmon hay and the government locks
rs well as winding UP in Ballard
Make Seeing Seattle By Streetcar simple and at
tractiye.
And then your advertising campaign. Dave. viii
