History of the
Basement Store


Some years ago when Lans-
burgh & Bro. first saw the
need of lower priced merchan-
disc of dependable quality, =
basement store was opened
on the 9Th Street side Of the

this smaller space on the far
side of our building, encour-
aged us to increase the size of
the basement to the full width
of the building.

URGING THE METRIC SYSTEM

The present system of weights
and measures fails to satisfy lot
of people in this country, and they
would substitute the metric system
in its place. Senator Gillett of Mas
sachusetts, is sponsor of a bill for
that purpose. The Gillett bill would
change things so that gasoline
would be purchased by the liter,
coal by the gram, and calico by the
meter, although, to avoid confusion,
the old names of gallon, ton, and
yard would be retained, the units
alone being altered.

How best
can I trade in
my present car
for a new carr?

XKYHEN you are ready to trade in
Wv your present car for a new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres
ent car. But most of all you want full
new car value.
1t will therefore pay you to consider
varying trade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
I Your present car has only one funda-
= mental basis of value: ie., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the used car market.
= Your present car has seemingly
II different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sell you new car.
z The largest allowance offered is not
- necessarily the best deal for you.
Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
n An excessive allowance may mean
that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
its real value
= First judge the merits Of the new car
> in comparison with it's price, includ-
ing all delivery and finance charges.
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your present car.
4 Remember that you are making a
~ purchase-not sale. You are buy
ing a new car and simply using your
present car as a credit against the new
cars purchase price.
