HOW TO KILL YOUR BUSINESS

Nothing can so effectively kill a
business as dissatisfied customers.
Big business has found this out, and
for this reason they sometimes go
to extremes in making good on their
sales.
A man once walked into a Phil
adelphia hat store carrying dill
apidated hat in his hand. He walk
ed up to the proprietor who was
waiting on two men who were try
ing on hats. The man asked the
proprietor if he didn't guarantee to
give a new hat for any hat he had
sold which didn't give the proper
wear.
The proprietor told him that was
right. Then the man showed the dill
apidated hat across the counter and
said, "All right. This hat has gone
to pieces, and | bought it here
just last week. | want a new one
in place of it."
The proprietor took up the hat
and examined it. Very plainly il
had received extremely rough treat
ment of some sort. But his label
was in it, and as he observed the
pointed looks the two prospective
customers were giving him, he turn.
ed to the owner of the hat and
said, "The treats on me. Select any
hat you want, and it's yours"
Trhe selection was quickly made
and the man thanked him and walk
cd out, saying, 'Tm going to send
all my friends here to buy hats"
The other two men Immediately
bought hats and departed. There
after business picked up amazingly
for that store.
Later the proprietor learned that
the hat he had redeemed had been
blown off the mans head, and be-
fore it could be regained an auto
ran over it. He had no idea the
store would redeem it, but felt so
grateful for the new hat that he
sent the store enough new business
to pay for several hundred hats.

WHEN ARE THEY
GOING TO FIX 1T?

Three weeks ago when they be-
gan to take up the trolley tracks
from the streets of New Hope il
was hoped that repairs would be
made to the hog wallows at Bridge
and Main streets. But the paving
at this point was left in worse con-
dition than it was before.
A red rag on a stick waves over
the disgraceful spot. And Judging
from the dissatisfaction being ex-
pressed by New Hope residents, this
red flag is having the same effect
as when waved before bull. People
are beginning to see red.
1t is understood that the Bor-
ough Council received a check from
the trolley company to indemnify
damages to the streets when the
tracks were removed. Why isn't thi:
money being used to make the re-
pairs?

posed of William II. Booz, Franz
Lear and Fred Whiteley. But az

WHAT DOTH THE CLERGY SAY?


People who attended the vespers
service in st. Georges Church on
Sunday must have been astonished
by a part of the short sermon de-
livered by the rector, DR.. Karl Rel
land He took for his text the
story of Elishas' grating servant
who plotted to get, and got, the
gift from the Syrian officer which
the prophet had refused Then DR..
Reiland proceeded to deliver Wig
orous denunciation of tipping in all
it's forms, including the acceptance
of bonuses and secret commissions.
He lamented, as many have done
before him, the passing in this coun-
try of the good old days when tips
were taken only by very few. 1t
would have been decidedly unsafe
then, to offer a tip, in addition to
the agreed wage, to American work
ing folk of any sort. That day is
gone, however, and now the tip is
about as generally and quite as
eagerly, sought-when it isn't fierce
lily demanded-in the United States
as in Europe.
But remarks along this line did
not constitute the astonishing part
of DIR. Reiland's address. That came
in most explicit terms he put the
clergyman who accepts an extra
fee for his services at a wedding,
funeral or baptism in the same
category as the tip-taking waiter or
taxi-driver, and declared that they,
| too, must be lost to self-respect.
| When one remembers how many
clergymen of how many denom-
nations come within the range of
the gun he fired, the thought of
the consequent casualties is almost
appalling. Indeed, he failed to hit
hardly any of them. Yet the Gus
tom he denounced is such an old
one! Men of the greatest eminence
and unquestionable piety have seen
nothing wrong in following it, es-
pecially as to weddings, and many

GETTING THE MOST
OUT OF ROADS

Practically every county in the
United States has many miles of
good rock macadam highways which
have outlived their usefulness from
the standpoint of carrying modern
motor vehicle traffic. Thousands of
dollars a mile have been spent in
building and maintaining these old
roads. To save this investment of
the taxpayers is duty which
devolves upon county commissioners
and boards of supervisors.
Instead of tearing up these
roads, it has been successfully
demonstrated in many states that
they can be used as a base for a
waterproof asphaltic concrete sur
face at saving of from $4,000 to
$4,000 a mile.
Extension of this type of road
paving is saving taxpayers over
the country millions of dollars and
building hundreds of miles of hard
surfaced highways which could not
otherwise be paved.
