MAYBE BUSINESS IS BAD
". G. COSTELLO,
Manager

Perhaps business is rotten and the
country may be on the way to the dog
gies. but anyone will have difficult time
making us believe it.
We need go no further than our own
doorstep to cite few proofs IN support
of the opening paragraph.
Yesterday the Press broke a record.
record which had existed for an entire
week The issue yesterday contained 10
pages. the first time in the history OF the
paper. outside of special editions, that
the regular issue has reached that num-
ber.
The record broken was established on
Thursday of last week when the regular
issues of the Press contained IA pages.
To go back still further and prove that
the present squirt is no flash IN the pan,
during July and August the Press had
several editions when 10 and u pages
were issued. This was considered re-
markable indeed, for an Eight pager"
during the summer months was prevl-
ouslv considered something to warrant
little Dragging.
The large issues are due mainly to
hustling advertising department, which
is convincing Ell Centre merchants OF
truth already known to most Of the lead
ing advertising concerns in the country
that the best return dollar for dollar, the
merchant can receive for his advertising
budget. can be obtained right in the home
town paper.
Our advertising department can furn-
ish the names of dozen or more nation
ally known concerns, which have, within
the last year or two limited their adver-
tising entirely to newspapers and maga-
zines.
For the home town merchant, wise
enough to know that the real purchasing
agent of the family is the lady OF the
house. the columns Of the home town pa
per can be turned into the best salesman
he has, capable of bringing steady
stream of regular customers to his door.
We are glad to state that the number
Of Ell Centre merchants who have been
convinced of the truth of this fact, is con-
tinually increasing.
Progressive merchandising is agricul-
ture's first assistant in keeping Imperial
Valley in the white.

UNCLE WIGGIJY'S APPLES

THE FALL OPENING

El Centrans who believe they must
trade on the coast, because they cannot
get what they want here, are urged and
invited to attend the fall opening being
held tonight by local merchants.
On this occasion the merchants are
making no sales-in fact their stores will
not be open. The fall opening is limited
to a window shopping tour, in
which the leading merchants Of the city
are cooperating to show what they have
to offer the buying public through the
medium of their store windows.
More than once we have heard strang-
ers commenting favorably on the appear
ance Of El Centre stores and the variety
of stock carried by them. 1t has made

that those of US who live here are unable

THE FOR ACTION

Congressman Phil D. Swing touched on
a subject that should be receiving i'm
mediate and united attention from all
parts of Imperial Valley when he urged
before the chamber of commerce here,
that efforts should be made at once to
obtain the return Of the federal farm
loans to this section
We understand that this matter has
already been under discussion by several
organizations in the valley, but it is time
that more definite and extensive action
is taken.
Every chamber of commerce, other
civic organizations, the city and county
officials, should unite in organizing a
committee which will have for its object
i've, placing before the proper authori-
ties the demand and arguments for the
return Of the federal farm loan bank
This committee should set to work ag-
gressively to convince the bank officials
that arguments which they advanced in
the past as reasons for withdrawing
from this territoy, no longer apply to US.
Chief among the arguments made
against making loans in Imperial Valley
a decade ago, was the uncertainty of the
Boulder dam project. 1t was promised
at that time, the congressman pointed
out, that when Boulder dam was assured,
the federal farm loans would be resumed.
There is no doubt about the dam now,
and it is up to Imperial Valley to make
the farm loan board live up to its agree
ment. This can be done if the valley will
unite and go after the matter with
united front

ARTS CLUB PROGRAM.


THE second of the bi-monthly musical
evenings of the Arts Club occurred
last night before an audience that
crowded the small auditorium to over
flowing. The program, given by a trio
of singers and a youthful dancer. was
both pleasing and unique and brought
forth much deserved applause.
Marjorie Lowe, soprano, attractively
attired as French shepherdess. sang q
number of French songs, which seemed
especially suited to her high and light
voice. She was accompanied by Felian
GarZia.
Lily Zalipsky gracefully appeared
next in the familiar Swan Dance" to
Saint-Saens' music.
Celia Floravante, dressed in a quaint
Italian costume, pleased her audience
with her rendition of native songs She
was accompanied by Mary Ware Gold
man. These selections were followed by
a dance by Lily Zalipsky, which had to
be repeated. The young dancer was
accompanied by her mother
The program was brought to a close
by group of Irish songs, expertly
sung by Dorothy Neff Tyler. Miss
Tyler, dressed in an attractive Irish
costume, seemed to please immensely.
Her voice, full and well rounded, was
especially suited to the bits of lyric
songs she sang. Fanny Amstutz Rob-
erts played for her, and, like the other
accompanies, was more than salts
factory.
Throughout the program the lighting
and scenic effects were most artistic
and made an appeal to the eye as well
as to the ear. P. M. c.
