ware company has used the slogan
eff it's hardware, we have it." In
order to better carry out this slogan
the present location at 933 G avenue
was purchased in 1924. This larger
store with their two warehouses on
lower Tenth street and on F avenue
gives ample room to carry the large
stock.
The Douglas Hardware company has
strongly emphasized the fact that it
pays to buy goods of the highest
quality, and it has endeavored at all
times to provide for its customers
the highest quality hardware that
could be purchased. It could be well
said of their goods, the words of E.
IC. Simmons, formerly the head OF
the Simmons Hardware company
about his own: 'The recollection of
quality remains long after the price
is forgotten"

1t has always 0een our motto that
our customer must be pleased, and we
want it understood that the real boss
OF our business is this same patron.
Without him we perish. AS a bid for
his business, we try to offer real
service Whatever success we have
had is a result of that service, for it
is well known fact that business
goes where it is invited, stays where
it is well treated and develops into
good will asset after years of nursing.
That is why GOOD WILL is so es-
sential; also why it has monetary
value. That is why SO many men
prefer to buy, at a higher cost, Of a
going concern, built upon this founda-
ton, rather than launch a new con-
Germ. They realize that it takes years
OF service in community to merit
real business confidence.

selling millinery.
Miss Lawrence makes special efforts
to please women who are hard to fit
because OF unu;ually large or small
heads or irregular facial lines. She
pays special attention to selling hats
suited to the charm anG individuality
of the buyer
These facts give one better idea
of the why of Miss Lawrence's busi-
ness slogan: "Above all-the right
hat" The shop always has the COM
fort and convenience of the customer
in mind and pursues a policy of not
foisting the wrong hat off on GUS
toner merely to make a sale. Such
practice is the result of ignorance
and dishonesty to the customer, Miss
Lawrence says.

pany have always taken broad view
of civic matters. We feel that if we
help the town, the town will help us.
Several Douglas business men have
had to close their doors just because
they we're buster knocking the town
than they were trying to get and hold
customers. A crepe hanger has never
succeeded in any business other than
undertaking, and God didn't intend
that he should.
Our advice to any who would suc-
ceed in business is this: Boost your
home town first and your state sec
ond; render real service to your
customers, giving them what they
want when they want it, even though
at times you do it at great inconven-
fence and perhaps loss-and always
display sunny, smiling disposition,
whether you feel it or not. YOU

Prices Reduced on
Radio Equipment

Reduction Of 20 per cent in the
price of all Atwater Kent radio pro-
ducts was announced today by local
dealers and distributors, following
receipt Of telegram from A. Atwa-
ter Kent, president of the company.
The reduction is effective immedi-
ately, the announcement having
been made at the national meeting
Of Atwater Kent distributors at
Philadelphia, and is made possible,
according to Mr.. Kent, by tremen-
dous production facilities which
have been put into operation.
1T is only right" said Mr.. Kent,
chat purchasers should share in the
results of up-to-date manufacturing
methods in everything. This is a
tendency Of the times. In our L.
acre factory our production en-
gineers and experts since the in
ception Of radio have been working
out manufacturing economies which
smaller factories perhaps could not
accomplish. "These advancements
have not only enabled us to maintain
but to improve the standard of our
products. The new prices are in
keeping with the long established
Atwater Kent policy Of sharing with
the public the results Of economies
as fast as they are put into practical
operation"

Washington, Oct. 21.-(AP)-Ar
attempt by the government to in.
troduce parts of the testimony Har'
nv +. Sinclair gave the senate oil in.
vestigating committee brought the
Teapot Dome oil conspiracy trial tt
an abrupt halt today, SO far as the
jury was concerned.
After a morning session devoted
to testimony as to whether the Wyo-
ming naval oil reserve was in dan
ger of drainage before Albert B.
Fall, as secretary of the interior,
leased it to Sinclair, the offering of
the Sinclair testimony brought on an
argument over it's admissibility
which attorneys said would last all
day and Justice Siddons excused the
jury until Monday morning.
The progress of the case was in
tcrrupted continually today by dis
putes between attorneys over the
propriety of evidence, particularly
that given by K. c. Head, a geolo-
gist, who was represented as having
told Fall there was no imminent
danger Of drainage.
IlVoW AeCPOlI Att0NnCu
Heads report was introduced,
not as evidence of facts, Owen j.
Roberts, special oil counsel, said, but
to show what information was be-
fore Fall at the time. The defense
attacked Heald's report, and devel-
oped that he went to Teapot Dome
to check up another report and re-
NAMED there only an hour. At
tempts to exclude the report failed,
however, on insistence of Roberts
that it was not offered as evidence
Of facts concerning drainage.
Government counsel then offered
part Of Sinclair's testimony before
the senate oil committee and the
jury was excused while counsel ar
gued as to its admissibility.
After counsel had disclosed that
they would talk throughout the aft
ernoon session, the jury was ex-
cused until Monday morning as
there will be no sessions Of the court
