George A. Billings, creator of the
role of Abraham Lincoln in the First
National picture Of the same name,
wondered for a long time whether
the famous President used tobacco in
any form or not. Mr.. Billings anx-
iety was set at rest when he met two
men in Los Angeles who were able to
assure him that Lincoln never used
tobacco in any form-and this includ-
es Snuff-in a day when most people
used snuff-and even many excellent
women smoked pipes.
Thursday-One of the many beau
ties of the screen who play "atmos-
phere" in "For Sale" is Georgia Hale
or "Miss Chicago" as she is better
known in the Windy City Miss Hale
won the distinction of representing
Chicago in the famous Atlantic City
pageant two years ago.
Friday and Saturday-After a care
full securing of the entire theatrical
field, both stage and screen, Florence
Vidor was finally selected by John NJ.
Stahl to play the feminine leading
role in his latest picture, Husbands
and Lovers" The story is a domestic
cOmedy-drama.
Monday and Tuesday-A new note
in motion picture direction has been
struck by VIII Nigh, director of "Bon
Rich" Based on the successful novel
by Hughes Cornell, it is a story of
New oYrk society circles, but, unlike
the ordinary story of "high life" it
is one of the most human stories ever
thrown upon the screen.

to operate his storA and sell his goods
at a less margin On each dollar of
sales.
For instance, a big store may buy
an article for 65 cents and sell it for
$1.0O with a cost of doing business of
80 cents on the dollar. This leaves a
net profit of cents.
The smaller retailer may buy these
same goods at 20 cents and sell them
at a dollar with a cost of doing busi-
ness of only 25 cents on the dollar, he
too will have a net profit of cents.
1t is true that the big stores with
their fast turnover can reduce their
cost of doing business.
1t is just as true that the smaller
retailer can, by watching the market,
get hold of some of the "snaps" at
below their regular market price, just
as the bigger fellows do.
The conditions over which the re-
tailers themselves have no control,
have brought about the keen competi-
tiOn which we have in retailing to-
day.
Improved transportation and COM
munications is largely responsible be-
cause it brings every merchant into
competition with hundreds and often
thousands of other merchants, where
yesterday he had only one or two
competitors.
Roads and Autos Change Conditions
Good roads and automobiles have
changed the whole complexion Of the
situation. Even the mail order house
is feeling the effect of the change, be-
cause, as everyone knows, the great
est ally of the mail-order house is

Customers would rather see the
goods before they buy them, and m-

Thursday and Friday-"The Mar
row Street is one continuous thrill
after the other, making you laugh and
sympathize with Matt Moore and
Dorothy Devore, who manage to get
into the very embarrassing pass of
being husband and wife in name, with
few extra twists thrown in.
Saturday-"The inimitable Nazim-
Ova at her very best" Such is the
testimony of reviewers who have seen
"The Redeeming Sim" This celebrat-
ed emotional artistic is cast as a Paris
Apache girl and gives, from all ac-
counts, a remarkable performance.
Lou Tellegen has the leading man
role, the Apache leader, and he also
is said to outdO himself.
Monday and Tuesday - Douglas
Fairbanks glorious fantasy of The
Arabian Nights, "The Thief of Bag
dad" This photoplay, according to
all accounts, surpasses anything here
tofOre seen on the screen. This ex-
traOrdinary picture has upset the
equilibrium of the critics in every
city in which it has been presented.
1t is the crescendo photoplay. 1t is a
fantastical story of love and adven-
ture, laid in an imaginary world of
fancy, abOunding with amazing hap
penings, and what critics generally
have called unbelievable wonders. If
you still believe in love, if adventure
still stirs you, if you like your heart
to miss beats in ecstatic moments of
exciting suspense, if you enjoy the
surprise of seeing things that hereto
fore you thought were impossible
here in "The Thief of Bagdad" are all
these things, in the background of
beauty and splendor. In this picture
a Winged Horse flies up to and
through the clouds; A Magic Carpet
scars over the house-tOps and into the
sky; wonder after wonder, surprise
after surprise, are here revealed il
amazing abundance. To depict sucF
happenings on the screen has never
been considered within the bounds O.
possibility. This crowning achieve
ment has been accomplished by Doug
las Fairbanks. 1t has received tn,
highest endorsements that any pic
| ture has ever received.

Miss Virginia Springer, Wilmington,
and J. J. Walker, MiddletOwn, Married
A wedding announcement that has
caused much surprise among their
friends is that made by Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis r. Springer, Of COS West Ninth
street, Wilmington, of the marriage
of their daughter, Miss Virginia w.
Springer, to James J. Walker, of Mid
dletown on November Is, by the
Rev. Mr.. Manlove of Media, Pa. The
bride is very popular in the younger
set and has a host of friends. Mr.
Walker is a salesman of the Whining
ton Automobile Company. Mr.. and
Mrs. Walker left Saturday, April A.,
on an extended wedding tour, their
marriage having been kept secret un-
til that time. Prior to going away
Mrs. Walker informed her parents by
telephone that she was married last
November and was leaving on her
honeymoon. Mrs. Walker also left a
note at her home which told of her
wedding and their plans. Mr.. Walker
at the same time informed some of
his friends Of his wedding.

less they have strong reasons for do
ing otherwise, they buy their goods
in the store nearest at hand.
The chain stores especially recOg-
nize this and locate their stores in the
most convenient places to serve their
patrons.
Mail-Order houses also recognize 1t
and use every art of advertising and
selling to overcome their handicap.
Communication, especially advertis
ing, which carries the message out to
the people, and freight, express, and
parcel post service, which carry the
goods back to them, have helped to
make competition much keener.
Merchants are thus enabled to do
business with customers at any place
and at any time.
This brings the merchants of Smyr-
ma into direct competition with the
merchants of Wilmington, Philadel-
pha and New York.
AS one Business Man put it, "The
fly paper type of Business has pass
ed'', which was his unique way of say
ing that location is not the only thing
to consider in retailing today.
Customers no longer light and
stick" On the other hand they go
from store to store.
Railroads, automobiles, and Uncle
Sans delivery boys have taken the
"TanglefOOt" out of shopping, and put
it squarely up to every retailer to
make his service and his prices the
basis for his right to stay in business.
The best way to meet competition
is to make competition. Manage
your store better than your competi-
tors manage theirs, and you will have
no difficulty in meeting competition.
1t will then be up to the other fell
low to meet the competition which
you make. The man who makes COM
petition leads, and the leader not only
sets the pace, but chooses the direc-
tion of travel as well.
During the era of high prices the
problem of retail merchants was to
hold back and lay aside reserves for
/ Illc udy Wucll uldIhGLS SIlOulU ueClluG
and competition would again become
strenuous.
Today, the problem of every merch-
ant is to lay out a program Of activ-
ity and then put it through with
energy and determination. The time
tested rules and methods of retailing
are in demand now as never before.
Yesterday many retailers thought
they were growing, when they were
only swelling.
They were much puffed up over
success which came to them without
effort.
Today these same retailers are get
ting down to business. They have
learned the lesson which comes t.
every man who forgets that success.
belongs only to him who pays the
price in well directed effort.
Smyrna times., 1925-04-15
Points ON Retail Store Management

/ will give you a few points on re-
tail stores management each of which
plays its particular part in helping
merchants to meet today's cOmpeti-
tiOn.
Only a few merchants plan for
sales and profits, and most of them
are the Country's leading merchants.
1t is just as necessary to have a plan
for your business as it is to have a
plan for a house before you build it.
The merchant who has plan knows
just what he is going to do and when
and how. He substitutes 81 know
for 81 guess and drives for results
all the time.
He saves time and effort and money
by making every move count in sales
and profits.
Business is not built from the top
down, any more than a house is con-
structed that way.
Profits depend on control of four
things, Sales, Margins, Stocks and EX-
penses. These are the four corner
posts which support retail profits.
All your profits can leak out
through any one corner. No one of
the four can be neglected or over
looked without risk of loss.
If you mark your goods too high,
you lose sales; if you mark them too
low, your profit goes with the goods.
If your expenses are too high, you
cannot hope to make progress; if they
are too low, you are probably neglect
ing your service to customers.
If your stocks are too high, your
expenses exceed your margins; if your
stocks are too low, you lack assOrt-
ments, and customers go to other
stores to buy.
As for sales, you must have vol
ume sufficient to carry the fixed ex-
penses of your store; otherwise there
is no possible chance to make profit.

Der, 18th and was well attended. Mrs.

A vocal duet entitled "Cantique de
Noel" by Adolph Adam was sung by
Mrs. B. B. Downward and Mrs. Carl
Pelo accompanied by Miss Isabelle
Mullenger, and was much enjoyed by
those present. Mrs. Margaret McCon-
vile accompanied by Miss Mullenger
at the piano sang "Adesta Fidelas'' in
pleasing voice. Later accompanied
by Mrs. Braida she sang "Hark the
Herald Angels Sing" and responded
to several encores which added much
to the pleasure of the occasion.
The choir of the Episcopal church
was present and under the direction
of Mrs. VIM. Freakes rendered several
Christmas Carols. This is one of the
very best church choirs in the city
and their rendition of the beautiful
carols last Saturday evening detracted
nothing from their reputation as VOC
alists.
Mrs. E. B. Provinse gave an inter-
esting discussion of Christmas Carols,
telling the history of their inception,
growth and inspiration.
At the close of the formal program
me delicious refreshments were served
by the hostesses Mesdames Maude

BUSINESS HOUSES
ENJOY GOOD TRADE

The merchants of Red Lodge, with
out exception, enjoyed good holiday
trade and most of them state that
their patronage was the best in the
history Of the city. Presents, both
useful and ornamental, we're purchas-
ed not only by the citizens of Red
Lodge but by the people Of its extern
sive trade territory In a manner that
would indicate that an era of real
prosperity is already fact, if indeed,
it was ever otherwise in this city and
locality. The stores were well stocked
and lastly decorated. Extra clerks
were employed to assist in waiting on
the trade and the stores and shops
we're kept open during the evenings
the past week to accommodate those
who were unable to do their holiday
shopping during the daytime. The
meat markets were well stocked also,
and the delivery trucks have been kept
busy during the entire week supplying
purchases to customers.

David Gabrielson, formerly of this
city, who was arrested in Great Falls
for forgery, theft and using the mails
to defraud, was sentenced to the state
penitentiary at Deer Lodge for two
to four years by the District Judge
and taken to the penitentiary last
Tuesday.
Gabrielson last week confessed to
the forgery of $50 check which was
passed on the Motor Inn at Great
Falls. He also admitted the theft of
a trunk from the Great Northern sta
ton at Great Falls, use of the mails
to defraud clients by use Of spurious
G. 0. d. Christmas packages and other
minor crimes. Before admitting his
guilt Gabrielson's counsel made plea
for leniency on the grounds that
Gabrielson was aiding in the support
Of his mother, a resident Of Sand
Coulee.

LegiOnaires Should
Record Discharges

Carbon Post No. IL is meeting reg
ularly and holding special sessions in
their newly furnished club rooms
with good attendance which is greatly
due to the efforts of Post Artist o. J.
Salo in designing pictorial notice cards
for each meeting.
The loca, Post has undertaken en-
tertainment programmes which are
given at one meeting each month.
These programmes are on the order of
the old G. A. r. Campfres at which
time some member of the post relates
experiences near and dear to his heart.
Frank Bowman, member of the post,
gave very interesting talk on his
experiences in Alaska as a govern
ment surveyor at the last meeting.
At the next meeting of the post
every member is urged to present his
Discharge in order that proper Post
and public record may be made of
them if their papers have not already
been recorded or filed. All ex-service
men should understand that there is
no expense attached to having Dis
charges recorded in the county rec
ords. 1t they later become mislayed
or lost certified copy can be secured
from the county clerk and recorder
which eliminates the endless red tape
in trying to secure copy through the
War Department. Any county record
err will be very glad to do this. For
members of Legion Posts this infor-
nation is necessary for many reasons.

The United States Senate has gone out of it's
way to pay compliment to Senators Walsh and
Wheeler of Montana. The occasion was the APP
pointment by the President of Mr. Wellington D..
Rankin to be Federal attorney for the District of
Montana. The position had been held by Mr.. John
L. Slattery, whose term had expired and who was
dropped by the President.
The customary procedure of the Senate on re-
ceiving name from the White House is to permit
interval to intervene before action so that the
fitness of the appointment may be scrutinized
The exceptions to this rule almost always occur
when the name is that of Senator or an ex-Sen-
ator In this case however the request of Messrs
Walsh and Wheeler for immediate action was
granted.
What it means is that the Senate registers its

The present status of the most recent attempt
against the Senator is that Federal prosecutor
