Everyone Can Write Ads!

If you can write letter you can write
an ad. Everyone can write letters, so
everyone can write ads. The kind of ads
we want are very simple to write. This
is all you have to do:
for instance-take piece of paper and
a pencil and write an ad for Berberich's
splendid new shoe store at 18th and SITS.
You will naturally think of the fact that
since 1868 the name "Berberich's" has
been synonymous with "fine footwear in
Washington" The foremost makes of fine
shoes, for every member of the family
have been constantly presented to the
Washington public in the latest styles for
two generations by Berberich's. Now in
the luxuriously beautiful new store at
18th and Sts., the smartest styles are
displayed in befitting setting. Follow
out these thoughts and you will find it an
easy matter to write good ads for this
concern.

better moisture conditions for the do
nestle crop were also influential
Closing quotations on wheat were
unsettled, 1c to lee net lower, corn
at sc declsle to IN equal advance, oats
a to 1c down, and provisions varying
from 7c setback to a rise of 12@ 15c.
Emphasizing bearish effects of in
creased pressure today to sell wheat
was the circumstance that numerous
traders showed a disposition to go
slower on the buying side and to
await private crop estimates which will
be given out Monday. Meanwhile, field
advices today from east of the Missis-
sippi remained decidedly unfavorable.
Besides, one Chicago observer found
conditions less suspicious in Kansas
going west from Ellis. He placed the
winter loss in that section at about 20
per cent.
Rallies in the wheat market today
failed to prove OF lasting character
despite a statement from leading
trade authority that the vital factor
Just now is alleged terrific crop loss
from winter killing in the great CEN
trail belt. His statement, which at
tracted much notice, said that with
small crop east Of the Mississippi
the prevailing price level is not high,
especially in view Of likelihood of very
low private monthly crop estimates on
Monday
Corn and oats were responsive to
wheat weakness. Corn news, however
was mainly bullish, weather over the
belt being stormy, and farm holdings
of corn in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
being reported as very small On the
other hand southwestern messages
forecast that a somewhat larger move
ment from farms would be witnessed
in the near future.
Provisions averaged lower, with hold
ers selling May lard and with hog

of the most consistently strong ses-

of dozens of stocks climbed 81 to near
ly $25 a share today, established about
rs new highs for the year or longer,

General Motors closed with net
gain of points, at 1872.
The average of 20 leading industrialS
was at new high for all time, at
2OO.63, with gain of approximately
Az points. This gain was all the
more remarkable in that issues scoring
the most outstanding advances are not
included in the compilation with ex-

average also reached a new peak,
