MAXWELL

Throughout the day cash cuSto-
mers flocked in, groaning under
heavy loads of clothes, their own,
their families and their friends.
One woman, who has seven sons,
drove up with 18 suits piled high
in the back of her car. Another
brought IA.
The nickel rate outdid the CT
forts of MaXWell'S father, the
original Sherman" at 53O5 Geor-
gia Ave. N. w. Yesterday he met
his sons earlier price of a quar-
ter with q 15-cent rate. Today
he decided there was just no use,
but his windows bore this sign:
Suits Cleaned and Pressed
IS Cents"
Two for Nickel, Maybe
Benjamin Sherman, the elder.
had one on his son, however. He
advertised cleaning and blocking
hats for Is cents. The youths
price was 80 cents. The latter
said:
1--WE expect to stay this way,
though we may go lower. If
you haven't time to stand in
the barrel today, come back to-
morrow. We probably will be
down to two for a nickel, and
then you'll have one coming"
SmirkS at Sons Art
Just how the feud started could
not be learned. The son, who had
been working for his father,
branched out for himself last May,
and a month ago decided he would
attract more trade if he used on
his show-window the sign-"Un-
der Sherman Management"
The irate father began action,
which is now pending, to enjoin
the son from using the sign, claim
ing it attracts business from his
own store. On being urged he
admitted the son lacked his own
delicate touch when it came to
pushing the pressing iron around
the more complicated parts of
the garments.

Why? 1
Because thR fight doesn't

Because no body is talking

mean a thing o the majority of
sports fans who have remained
quite silent irldeed about the

happen or not, so far as they
