able everywhere one looks. The sea-
sonable weather is adding much to the
real pleasure of the coming holidays.

enjoyed by the large number who wit
messed it. The performance by the

and carried it out so successfully.

an article under date of December
II setting forth a plan whereby we
could build 10 miles of roads next
year without putting burden upon
the people and pay the cost in full in
ten years. That is an average of z
miles year, and that is all the road
we could hope to get under any plan
in ten years. This plan will give the
people the full use of the 70 miles of
roads in advance. I said that we do
not have a hard-surfaced road in our
county that has not paid for itself
in five years, and that statement has
not been disputed. On this basis in the
ten years they will have doubly paid
for themselves.
This plan is only carrying out Pres
ident Hoover's suggestion urging the
Federal Government to improve in
every way possible, and the states,
large corporations and municipalities
to put in permanent improvements,
thus giving employment to curtail hui
man suffering while this depression
lasts, and if our people will properly
harmonic behind this plan and help
put it over it will be the greatest for
ward step ever taken in our county
for the benefit of the people.

ADVERTISING IS BIG FACTOR
 IN SUCCESS OF FIRM

Advertising, if not the keynote of our successful merchandising in Juneau, has been and will continue to be one of the main factors in it" declared Thomas L. George, presi- dent or George Brothers in review ing the firms policies of the past seven years. Friday George Broth CTS was celebrating it's seventh an niyersary of business which began with a force of two full time men and one part time and now has a personnel of fifteen employees.
 Advertising alone would not have carried the firm to the high position it now occupies in the local field, he admitted. But backed by other fac tors that should underlie all trans actions between merchant and cus- toner, it has proved most powerful. he declared.
 We have insisted at all times upon carrying only nationally ad- Yertised goods wherever available, and in recognized standards in all merchandise. These we have adver- tised in and out of season, telling the story of our goods over our own signature. We have made our brands household words and our prices are published as an evidence of ability to offer the best obtain able merchandise at the lowest pos sible rates.
 We have backed this advertising with goods of unquestioned quality, with prompt and efficient service, with courtesy, and with equitable treatment. Advertising plus these factors have been wholly responsi- ble for our growth. Juneau En- pire.

SHE COULDN'T SAY NO"
 AT COLISEUM THEATRE

It is an undeniable fact that Win nie Lightner, the famous comedi- enne of vaudeville and musical comedy, is chock full of personality, and it is equally sure that in "She Couldn't Say Mo- the Warner Bros. Vitaphone production which will be the feature attraction at the Coli scum Theatre Sunday and Monday, she gets it over to the audience in a most remarkable fashion.
 Miss Lightner is delightful, and in her characterization of a caba- ret entertainer who layishes her affection on a man, only to see him turn to someone else, she plays many dramatic sequences, and plays them we'll. Which is surprising when one considers that in the past she has been considered a comedi- enne first, last and always.
 The entire story is told against a background of night clubs and In6dLr6S, duu III lnSS6 gal Aoh DUH = roundings there is unfolded dra- m tic tale unusually effective in it's emotional appeal. The atmos- phere is wonderfully maintained, and there is sincerity on the part of the players which serves to raise this production to a high point among the film releases of the year.
 Chester Morris, the brilliant young stage actor who registered such a sensational hit in his first picture, "Alibi," plays the leading male role opposite Miss Lightner, and does it in a manner which goes far to explain his immediate eleVa- tion to virtual stardom. Other play CTS who do good work are Sally Ei- lers, Johnny Arthpr and Fully Mar shall. Lloyd Bacon, famous as the director of Al Jolson's highly suc- cesful pictures, was in charge of the filming of "She Couldn't Say Mo-" and he has done it superlatiyely well.
