Our sales force is competent and reliable
because each person in it has been inbued
with the Lansburgh & Bro. spirit and each
knows he or she would be recreant to solemn
duty and dis1oyal to this organization if any
merchandise were allowed to leave this store
that Gustave or James Lansburgh would not
have approved In addition to this we con-
duct regular school for our sales force in
our store. We maintain hospital, with
trained nurse in charge, for them and operate
a restaurant for their convenience In short.
we try to do everything to make for the
happiness and contentment of our entire
working personnel to the end that they may
have congenial and inspiring environment
and at all times be in the proper frame of
mind to render you the most efficient service.

in the heart of the downtown shopping
districts ornately en1bellished both inside

store fronting on Seventh street, has four
floors, while the new Eighth street buildings
have six floors and basement. Each of these
floors is stocked with the choicest and most
fashionable merchandise from all quarters of
the GLOBE selected by our corps OF 90 dis

These elevators are equipped with all the
latest safety devices and the elevator shafts
are fireproof In addition, complete auto

WE are going to celebrate our sixty-ffth
w anniversary in the near future. We
use the word celebrate" advisedly. Time
was when birthdays were the occasion tor
lavishing gifts upon those whose natal day
was observed. But that time has passed.
Today the celebrants of birthdays show their
Joy by manifesting spirit of generosity to-
ward others Therefore, you may anticipate
a prodigal generosity in values when the
year rolls round to meet the day we
celebrate.
In the meantime we desire to make the
approach of our anniversary the occasion for
making the people of Washington and its
suburbs better acquainted with the greater
Lansburgh & Bro. Store, its organization.
its facilities and its service
Conceived in spirit of service and fair deal
ing founded on honor, truth and integrity
and maintained as a merchandising lnstitu-
ton measuring up to the highest business
standards. the Greater Lansburgh Bro.
Store has withstood the test OF time and
constantly gained in public confidence
Messrs. Gustave and James Lansburgh, who
founded this business in 1860 in store only
lox15 square feet, put their souls into it and
their souls 60 marching on. Sixty-hve years
ago they fixed the highest standards OF ethics
and the pOTeSC OF OuSlliSSS loCoAS AOi Ills
store We of. today are acutely mindful OF
the sacred stewardship intrusted to US and
are intensely alert to the duty OF preserving
intact and in toto the ideals and traditions
which constitute priceless heritage.
While we take justihable pride in the tre-
mendous growth of the Greater Lansburgh
& Bro Store the actual credit for its progress
and DEVELOPMENT belongs to our patrons who
have builded this business for us and tor
themselves by their sustained and constantly
growing patronage.
The comparison between the $50 square feet
# space required by Gustave and James
Lansburgh to meet their merchandising re-
ouirements in 1860, and the 100000 square
feet of space now used by the Greater Lans-
burgh & Bro Store, tells something of the
growth in material way. But, bigger, more
important and more significant than this
enormous expansion, is the cementlng OF
closer bonds of friendship and business re-
lations with our old customers and an ever
growing army of new ones, attracted here
not alone because of the values offered, but
because of this institutions reputation tor
QUALITY and its motto that the customer
is always right.
The Greater Lansburgh & Bro. Store has
grown apace with the National Capita, It
IS Washington's oldest dry goods store, yet
it is progressive and forward looking, with
it's eyes to the rising sun. Within the past
ten years this store has been remodeled and
expanded more than half a dozen times,
entailing a cost of approximately $3,oooooo.
These expansions were made necessary by
increased patronage and to enable us to better
-erve our clientele. Each of these big build
ing enterprises involved inconvenience and
discomfo-ts to our sales force and our Gus
toners alike, but their loyalty never tagged.

Here's the story as reported by
a news agency:
President Coolidge, in a letter
to Mrs. John D. Sherman, presl-
dent of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs. has endorsed the
federation's nationwide survey or
homemaking methods.
Assistance by the government
departments was offered by the
President.
THE survey will gauge the ef-
ficiency of housekeeping in the
United States. with the idea that
no woman can be a successful
homemaker unless she is a sucT
cessful housekepeer."
At once there rises an indignant
clamor: What business Is 1T OF

! rays. The suns diameter Is
about $4,000 miles; the diameter
OF the orbit of the moon is only
about 480. 900 miles. Consequently
II you could go to the moon. the
rays Of sunlight that Illuminated
you there would be parallel with
those that illuminate you on the
earth.
Many find it difficult to realize
this fact. because the sun in the
sky does not look larger than the
moon alone, to say nothing OF its
exceeding the whole orbit Of the
moon, with hundreds OF thou
sands Of miles to spare!
The deception arises from the
diminishing effect Of distance.
It is based upon the same prin-
cipIe that governs the magnify.
ing power of the microscope The
apparent size Of an object de-
ponds upon the angle which its
diameter subtends at the eve Of

miles. which is the diameter Of
the moon.
On the other hand, as we have.
seen, q similar shaft, or cylinder.
Of sunlight is about 866, 900
miles broad. Yet. at the same
time, the sun appears to our eyes
almost exactly of the same size
as the moon, although 1t is really
400 times as great in diameter.
This fact serves as a rough
measure Of the suns distance as
compared with the moons, for
the apparent size (diameterl of an
object varies inyersely with the
distance. Double the distance
and the object appears half as
great in diameter. Increase the
distance 400 times and the APP
parent diameter becomes one
tooth OF what it was before.
The sun really has 400 times
the diameter of the moon, but 1t
appears to have only the same
diameter, therefore it is 400 times
as far away as the moon. Veri-
~ this by multiplying the moons
distance by 400. and, although we
have been using only approx
mate numbers, you will find that
the product gives nearly the &C
cepted figure for the suns dis
lance.
The sun at a distance of 93,-
100000 miles appears about half
degree in diameter. The earth,
seen from the suns distance.
would have an apparent diameter

sick COW is only sick COW IL 1t
happens to be a maverick in the
last llanos OF tn eArgentine. But
il that COW happens to be one or
a herd which supplies COM
munity with milk. it becomes
menace That's why we have
Boards of Health who inspect
herds of cattle and kill diseased
ones, even though the owner suf-
fers thereby.
And, again, a bit Of faulty iron
or steel is a trivial affair if its
lying on a junk heap. But il 1t
is part of the boiler or the hull
of great ship, it endangsrs
many lives. So we have Govern
ment Inspectors of Hulls and
Boilers, and rude, fat fines for
gentlemen who try to evade such
inspection.
So, by the same token. a dirty
room and unwholesome food mean
little in the middle of the Mo-
jave desert. They may sicken the
individual who lives In that room,
but the desert won't suffer. But
dirty rooms and bad food and I'M
clean beds scattered through the
cities of a land do mean some
thing. They mean the gravest
waste and danger which a ma
ton could well face, for they
directly affect the lives Of it's
people. That uncovered garbage
pail in the Browns back yard
may spread disease through the
whole sixth grade which young
Eddy Brown attends. That
angry WEAKNESS from which Pa
Jones suffers. and which is
directly due to his wife's slovenlv
housekeeping, may clog the whole
industrial machinery of the factory
in which Pa Jones Is foreman.
1t begins to look as If President
Coolidge knew his groceries when
he signed that bill, doesn't 1t?
Yes, it's going to be nuisance
this being investigated? We're
going to lose our tempers and
make speeches and perhaps throw
things. It's a nuisance, too, for
the dairyman when his herd is
investigated and his sick cows
killed. But we go right ahead in
vestigating. don't we? It's a
nuisance for the big shipping
man and manufactures to con-
form to the laws concerning hulls
and boilers. But we see that they
conform. Well, then. why should
the family refrigerator and stair
closet be exempted from inspection.
