Acted on Until 1928.

Plans for the Broadcast Listeners

apolis radio exposition, which was
to be held the first week of October,
have been Cancelled and will not be

HANDLES PARTS
FOR OLD CARS

Many bargains offered custom
ers at the Capitol Auto Parts and
Tire Company 1881 N. Illinois St., in
new and used auto parts and access
series, have won for Morris Mar
Gus, proprietor Of the store, the
reputation Of being the Bargain
Shop Man"
Careful buying of both used and
new parts for machines Of all types
and the unusually low-priced offer-
ings have established Marcus a
reputation in the automobile parts
business.
The firm has an almost endless
list of parts for many of the older
models of automobiles, and many
mechanics have been able to get
parts from Marcus that they have
not been able to secure elsewhere,
it is said.
With the used car market unusu-
ally active at this season of the
year, business has been above nor
NAL for the Bargain Shop Man"
Marcus reported.
mo merchant is justified in ask
ing an unreasonably large profit"
says Marcus. I'VE have priced our
goods with fair margin of profit,
to which we are entitled, but we
have been able to build up our
business, not alone on price basis,
but on a service basis"
Marcus handles Capitol bat
teries. Capitol oil. Capitol special
parts. Capitol tires and other spe-
cial branded goods.

firm CATCHES
DISHONEST men

An old adage, know III whom
you place your confidence" shor.d
be kept in mind by more firms, J. w.
Lovett, superintendent of the Quig-
ley Hyland Agency, Suite Dol Guar
anty Bldg, points out.
Lovett believes that more money
would be earned by business con-
Germs If they would analyze more
carefully their personnel.
The agency originated a, special
system for auditing retail store
clerks. now universally recognized.
as a most reliable, efficient and eel
nomical method. protecting the re-
tail merchants against petty pilfer-
ing.
I'VE maintain a crew Of operatives
who are specialists in retail store
efficiency and experts in the execu-
ton of our system of checking efn-
ployes," explained Lovett.
They come into a store as cus4
toners and purchase merchandise
which we later return to our clients.
These operatives are of all colors
and creeds. and this prevents the
clerks from knowing they are being
tested. If they test clean, that, of
course, is what client wants.
What assurance has the aver
age merchant that his clerk is
honest? Does the average mer-
chant know where his employees
spend their spare time when they
are of duty? Does he know with
whom they associate and what their
expenditures are? If clerk is dis
honest, about the lowest sum he will
take is 81 a day and that will run
up to $40 or more per day whenever
the opportunity presents itself to
knock down. thus running up a loss
of perhaps $500 a year for each dis
honest clerk.
Firms protect themselves against
fire, and so why not against dishon-
esty?"

said.
Coal buying is more brisk this
year than this time last year, due in
part to the unsettled condition Of
bituminous coal mining.
Orders for summer delivery have
come in stronger during the last

adequate supply"

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A MODEST WISH

I'd like to have an island,
A lone deserted island
With murmuring trees
And singing seas
To lull me to my rest.
Where all the birds that wander
Here, there and over yonder
Through every cline,
At evening time
Game home to sing and nest.
I'd like to walk the reaches
Of shining sandy beaches,
Or lay my head
Upon a bed
OF tropio sunlit turf
And sleep unnumbered hours
Among the fragrant flowers
While far and near
There filled my ear
The music of the surf
I'd want my tiny island
My private tropic island
Far over seas
Where every breeze
Dropped peace and quiet down
Away from care and worry,
And life's eternal hurry
And grief and fret
And woe, and yet
Not too darned far from town.
