| Of the Winter season when stores are
anxious to turn their stocks into cash,
| instead OF by acquiring them just be-
| fore Christmas. In waiting, 1t is true
that you have to make selections from
incomplete stocks, and after the most
attractive wares have been weeded
out. If you do not have to count pen
MES you will find it more convenient
to buy in season. but you must pay
| for the privilege.
Many Businesses Seas0nable.
Many businesses are seasonable, and
heads of seasonal establishments are
usually eager to increase their trade
during dull months in order to be able
to keep at least a nucleus of their
personnel employed through the year
Accordingly. you can get better prices
II you will help business men to meet
this problem. For example, the sum-
mer is the best time to have repairs
and alterations made to fur coats.
Eliminating the style consideration,
you can get better attention and lower
prices than at the height of the sea
son when there is competition among
buyers to get work done quickly.
The same reasoning can be applied
to repair work on house. Or
dinarily. the coming of Spring makes
the average family DESTROYS of having
necessary jobs done. The individual
with foresight will, however contract
for the alterations in Midwinter,
when relatively few others are in the
market. In cities there is an increas-
ing tendency to make October the
peak time OF the year. when interior
decorations and repairs are made. Ac.
cordingly, Ii you attempt to have the
work done at the height of the sea-
son, you necessarily must make the
worst possible bargain from the stand
point Of service and price.
Another opportunity for saving is
to accumulate standard merchandise
at special sales.
Still another way to get more for
what you lay out is to pay for cash
wherever possible, eliminating the ex-
pense of financing charges Whatever
you may think of the value Of the
installment plan to the business COM
munity, you should remember that 1t
Is always an added expense, so far
as the consumer is concerned You
can effect economies by saving your
money before making the purchase
instead OF after.
Little Thoughts to Buying.
Consumers in general have given
little thought to problems in buying.
They are inclined to drift, yielding

enterprises.
Occasionally It is we'll to take q

holdings. for the tendency is increas
ing to think of wealth I'm terms o!
unreal symbols. such as securities ant
credits, rather than in terms OF wealth
itself.
Infant industries give young mer
an opportunity TO rise quickly to lead
ership.
Earlier in the century this fact was
demonstrated in the growth of thu
automotive and movie industries.
The electric refrigeration industry
is the latest to give promise of emerg
ing from the status of an infant to
that of a giant in a short time.
The outstanding figure in the indus
try is +. G. Biechler, 3S-year-old head
of the Frigidafre Corporation. a sub
sidiary of General Motors. Mr.. Biech-
Ter rose from purchasing agent to
president in six years, taking com
mand in 1924. Since that time electric
refrigeration has come to the forefront
and the industry is now in the midst
of rapid expansion.
Ice Makers Outlook.
VIII electricity make the ice man go
the way of the stage coach and the
horse car?
Ice manufacturers naturally enough
reply in the negative. saying that the
enterprise of the makers Of electrical
devices is advertising the idea of re-
frigeration and thus helping the old
fashioned ice business. Selling refrig-
Grafton has by no means reached the
saturation point, as there are only two
thirds as many ice boxes as automo-
biles in the United States.
Merchandising skill frequently mani
tests itself at tender age.
The late Gastavus F. Swift, founder
of Swife & Co. and of the family for

9 years old, according to his son. Louis

This story is related:

elder Swift is reported to have said.

finds a customer somewhere. Seems

Thus, on a Cape Cod farm, Swift
got his taste of dealing in live stock.
The establishment of "a great packing
business later was a logical sequel.
Traders at the stock exchange have
been more concerned with the pros

companies than with reports of inter.
disturbances in China, Mex

ward the sore spots in international
politics indicates o belief that the
troubles will be localized, but the dis.

MEN AND MONEY
By NJ. S. Rukeyser.
Copyright. 1927

I Unless you have increased your real
wealth by one-fifth since 1913 you
have failed to keep abreast Of the
economic progress of the country.
This estimate has been made after
eliminating the factor Of price differ
ences which exaggerate the gains over
pre-war times.
The national wealth of these United
States In 1925 amounted to 1853 bill
lion dCI'ars, according to an estimate
by the National Industrial Conference
Board. The Government census in
1922 placed the national wealth for
that year at 320.S billion dollars. In
1912 the census estimate was 1863
billion dollars. In 1925 the national
wealth was equivalent to $1,000 per
capita
IL you seek to eliminate the uues-
ton OF changing price levels and ex-
press both the 1912 and the 1926 ma
tional wealth in terms of 1918 prices
you will And that the national wealth
iI 1912 was 1873 billion dollars, and
In 1925 223.9 billion dollars of 1918
purchasing value. Whereas there
was a nominal increase in wealth Of
907 per cent. the gain. after price
differences have been eliminated,
amounts TO 1911 per cent.
Only Tangible Wealth.
Only tangible wealth is included in
the estimate. Land and improvements
constitute more than half Of the total.

quarters Of the total wealth consists

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Increasing Income Without Raise.

Your real income is not in dollars,
but in the satisfaction which your dol
lars achieve through the purchase Of
goods and services. You can increase
your real economy by greater skill
and discernment in buying.
America has led the world in the
psychology of selling, but the art of
discriminating buying has been neg
lected.' For example. the price of
meat, like that of other products, IS
fixed by supply and demand. Certain
cuts. which appeal to popular fancy,
sell at disproportionately high prices.
Other cuts, equally rich in nutriment
value, are relatively unwanted, and
sell at bargain rates. In selecting the
latter cuts you can buy calories and
food value more economically.
Timing purchases is another factor
making for economy. You can save
money by buying sleds at the tail end

PHILIPPINE LEADERS
SEE COOLIDG E

Washington = (FP) = Manuel L.
Quezon, president of the Philippine
senate, and Sergio Osmena, speaker
of the lower house of the Philippine
legislature, have arrived in Washing
ton at the head of a delegation and
have arranged to talk with President
Coolidge on the issues in dispute be-
tween Manila and the Washington
government.
Quezon said frankly that he would
stay until Congress met, and then
would appeal to it once more to pass
an act granting independence to the
Islands. He spent many years in
Washington as a delegate from the
Islands to the House of Representa-
tives. In recent years he has been
leader of the independence movement
at Manila. Sergio Osmena, formerly in
the senate at Manila, is an older man,
/ less outspoken in his demands on
American politicians for a showdown,
but is credited with great influence
among his people.
Both Quezon and Osmena will urge
that a civilian instead of a military
man be sent out as American gov
ernor- -general-so long as the Ameri-
can rule of the Islands is maintained
They want the federal administration
of Philippine affairs handled through
civilian bureau rather than by Gen
McIntyre's bureau of insular affair
in the War Department. But most O.
all they want the House and Senat
committees to begin promptly tn
consideration of an independence
] measure.

FIVE BILLIONS OF WATER
IN WESTERN RAILROADS

Washington - (FP) = EXamlna-
ton of the transcript of testimony by
railroad accountants in the Chicago
hearing on a proposed wage increase
for locomotive firemen on the west
ern railroads, shows that these roads
are water-logged, as to book invest
ment account, to the astounding de-
gree of 72 per cent. That is to say
out of a book investment claim OF ST.
100 900 for the western railroads, So
156,OOO,O00 is charged off to "consid-
erations other than money IN It's
source.
Rail valuation students in Wash
ington are now looking into this ad-
mission by responsible experts for
the western railroad companies, be-
cause the fact disclosed has an lmme-
diate bearing on the issue as to the
valuation of the roads and hence the
amount they shall be permitted to
collect from the public each year IN
charges for freight and passenger
service.
Donald Richberg, chief counsel for
! the rail labor unions, examining the
officials of the western roads, made
them admit in detail the small sums
actually proven to have been invested
and the huge sums written in as In
vestment which were simply water
pumped in during the various reorga
nizations, mergers and other hocus
pocus manipulations of the stock.
If the companies were permitted tt
pay dividends this year at reason
able rate on the actual investment
they would be able to double thei
wage payments.

North Fights South In
Textile Industry AS
Workers Sacrifice
By Art Shields, Federated Press

New York-Health, happiness and

of the United States will continue to
be sacrificed to the struggle between
the South and the North for the pos
session of the industry. That was
clearly indicated at the sessions of
two big employers associations this
week-the National Association OF
Manufacturers, meeting in ChattanOo-
ca, Tenn, and the National Associa-
ton of Cotton Manufacturers, New
England aggregation meeting In Bos-

Lower wages, lower taxes, higher
efficiency and consultations of COM
peting companies, were some of the
remedies proposed by the northern
textile employers to stay the move
ment of the industry to the South
And Southern bosses at the Chatta

steady migration of spindles anC
/ looms to Dixieland, and boasted o
the docile attitude of southern labo

Open shop sentiment ruled the tw'
conventions. If there was voic
raised in favor of cooperating wit

And the heads of two determined ope
shop companies were selected as pres
