GOOD RECORDS
HELP BUSINESS
Check on Profit or Loss Is
Essential to Firm.

With the end of the year ap-
preaching the time draws near
when every business man will be
interested in knowing what has been
accomplished in the way Of a profit
or loss from the years operations.
For those who have not been for
tunate enough in the past TO have
a good set. of records, now is the
time to give this matter immediate
consideration and start out the new
year by knowing a all times that
all business transactions are being
handled properly.
In the case of those who keep
only partial or memorandum rec
ords, then there is no better time
than now to have records modified
so that they will disclose all facts
and figures clearly and concisely.
1t might be possible that firms
find themselves confronted with too
much overhead and their volume of
business might not justify having a
book-keeper permanently. There
fore they could reduce this expense
materially by having records of ac-
count kept on a part time basis.
Such service is rendered at a very
nominal cost by the Bookkeeping
Service Company, with Offices To-
Gated at Suite 324 Circle Tower, and
can be given either on daily,
weekly or monthly basis, depending
on your requirements.
Bookkeeping Service Company is
associated with Burkart & Burkart,
efficiency engineers, which makes it
convenient for its clients to obtain
any possible technical service.

Immense Sum Wasted
Annually by Motorists

mileage on many cars to half Of
what it ought to be.
This is not altogether the mo-
toristS' own fault--because most of
the abusive tire wear is caused by
nisalignment of the steering parts,
and the entire subject of wheel and
axle alignment is SO new in the
automotive trade that many other
wise competent garage men and me-
chanics are not thoroughly &C
quainted with steering alignment
and how to correct it.
And with many active workers in
the trade more or less at sea, it is
little wonder that the average car
owner has practically no knowledge
or conception of the steering align
ment of his car, and what sort of
abusive tire wear justly can be
charged to misalignment.
But the idividual motorist fast is
taking an active interest in align
ment, because he is beginning to
realize that wheel and ankle align
ment is responsible for a tremen-
dous and unnecessary drain on his
pocketbook, as well as the incon-
venience and danger of trying to
drive a car that shimmies or is hard
to steer.
1t is with purpose of giving the
individual motorist an idea of the
principles of wheel and axle align
ment that this article and those
which will follow have been writ
ten, and also to show how scuffing,
pitting, cupping and gouging OF
tires, as well as shinmy and other
steering troubles are caused directly
by misalignment.
The individual motorist will be
well repaid for his interesv in the
subject by the greatly increased tire
mileage which he will receive from
his tires as we'll as the freedom of
troubles and dangerous steering
conditions.
It was stated above that the
whole subject of wheel and axle
alignment was of comparatively re-
cent origin. It may he said to have
had its origin with the advent of
balloon tires and four wheel brakes,
which will be discussed in the next
Bear Scientific Wheel Aligning sta
ton article.

Clothing Insured Against
Theft, Fire Loss by
Lemcke Shop.

This city has one of the largest
and finest dry cleaning and shoe
repair shops in the middle west,
owned by Speropoulos brothers,
known as the Lemcke Service Shop,
108-112 East Market street, Lemcke
building.
Every detail of quality and quick
service is carried out at remarkably
low prices.
Mems hats are cleaned and
blocked by electric machines. The
same method and style of ironing
machine to ref1nish the hat that
originally was used by the manu-
facturer is employed. The work
manahip Is of the best, with more
than eighteen years experience back
of the Job. Tat bands and Innings
are taken Gut during the cleaning
process.
The Lerncke Service Shop origi-
nally started with one small room.
In 1875 This was expanded to two
rooms and on Nov. of this year
a third room was added, where
forty employees now cater to the
many wants of the public.
Quick Service Given
Shoe rebuilding while you wait
is accomplished at very reasonable
prices and here, too, the best work
manShip possible enters into the job.
Ladies hats are repaired free.
A waiting room is maintained at
all times for the convenience of
both men and women, where they
can make their appointments, meet
their friends, without the necessity
even of bringing any work in to be
done
To show their appreciation Of the
public's patronage, the Lemcke
Service Shop is giving a Christmas
present away in the form of rock
bottom reduced prices, effective Dec.
Is and lasting until Jan. l.
Work Delivered
All work in the downtown dis
trict is called for and delivered free
of charge. Clothing is insured
against fire and theft while in the
possession of this firm. That pro-
lection in itself means a great deal
The management will be glad to
have patrons report any discourteous
treatment, or bad workmanship, for
the Lemcke Service Shop always is
ready to stand back of its work with
a rigid guarantee.
One visit to this model, modernly
equipped shop means many happy
returns.

SHEET METAL
COMP ANY WINS
RAPID SUCCESS
Achieves Wide Recognition
in Varied Activities by
Conscientious Work.

Indianapolis is like lot Of other
American cities. 1t goes on from
day to day, unconscious of the fact
that it has a number Of friendly,
busy business men who are toiling
and working, not alone for self
ambition. but for the civic and in
dustrial betterment of the city itself.
Such man is V. E. Sprouse and
such a company is the v. E. Sprouse
Company, II North Liberty street,
manufacturers of sheet metal spe-
cialties, welders and brazers.
True, this company has been or
e@nized for just two years, but ten
me- have been working there,
Hding up the youthful dreams of
81 ouse into reality, dreams that
gan when he was just II years
old, when he first started in the
business.
Builds Novelties
Sprouse has nodded into his
business fourteen years of expert
ence, years that have brought him
many ideas as to how he may ex-
pand that business into large one.
For instance, the v. E. Sprouse
Company does not merely conf1ne
its endeavor to sheet metal work,
Welding and brazing. Many novel
ties are manufactured.
Check machines are turned out,
electric heaters, mufflers, cash
boxes, adding machine parts are
manufactured, radio parts, novelties
that are working themselves into
the useful everyday life of the city
and country, products that men
need to better their social and bust
ness conditions.
Shop Well Equipped
That is the reason the v. E..
Sprouse Company has succeeded
and why it will continue to succeed
as the years add more expansion,
more experience and more growth.
The company has been declared
by expert outside mechanics to be
the most thoroughly equipped and
completely modern metal and
machine shop in Indianapolis.
Mechanics at the v. E. Sprouse
Company are not beginners; they
must have experience before they
can become a part of the SSrouse
organization. There can be no mis-
takes in workmanship. The class of
workmen of this company is living
guarantee Of that statement.
Hence the growth in business and
the growth in confidence and re-
sponsibility that has been placed in
this organization.
Efficient Welders
For instance, 1000 hot water
heaters were manufactured in one
years time by the V. z. Sprouse
Company for one large establish
ment.
Spot and acetyJene Welding form
an important part of the every day
business of the company. Alumni
mum, brass, copper and bronze
work is done efficiently. Light sheet
metal parts of every description
are manufactured.
This organization is ready to
work and figure on any class of
workmanship in its line. The tele-
phone number is Riley 1858.

ACCUSED PAIR
DISCHARGED ON
FEDERAL COUNT

TUCSON, Ariz.. oct. %. U.R)-
Leslie Gatliff, former Douglas, Ariz..
police chief, and Walter Morris,
Douglas policeman, charged with
conspiracy TO violate the United
states neutrality laws in the 1929
kscobar revolution, were discharged
in federal court this morning.
The trial, which opened Tuesday
came TO a dramatic close when At
torncy John c. Gung' moved for
an accepted verdict of not guilty.
The men were charged specifically
with smuggling machine guns and
ammunition from Douglas to Aqua
lricta, Sonora, March 3, 1929, and
selling them to rebels for $22,t00.
Gung'I said the pair was brought
to trial on statements Of Andrian
Enrique, who with Elmer Kaupp
pleaded guilty to similar charges
yesterday.
" Earique has repeatedly changed
his statements and / cannot concien'
tiousiv send anyone to the pcniten
tiarH on word Of man who has
repeatedly talsificd himself, -
Gung'l told the court.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that the machine guns and ammuni-
tion was smuggled across the border.
Also, that Leslie Gatliff knew about
il. and that Walter Morris knew
about it. But without a true state
mcnt from Enrique, we cant prove
IT,"
Judge William H. SawteJle com
mcnded Gung'l for his "'liberal
