ZUPN|K BUILDS
BIC BUSINESS

Edward zupnik has been
IN the candy business for over
20 years. In that time he has
seen his own firm grow from a
horse and wagon to the new
$45,000 structure completed
but a few months ago for his
company, and where before he
employed but himself, he now
requires the services of 20 people
and the use of five trucks, at
his headquarters at 1907 Fourth
st. N. E.
Mr.. zupnik has taken his two
sons, Joseph and Elwood F., into
the business and the firm is now
known as Edw. Zupnik & Sons.
The zupnik establishment are
the local distributors for Schrafft's
and Park & Tilford's candies
and chocolates and syrups, and
they are one of Washington's
leading wholesalers. This candy
organization is also compelled by
demand to stock over 500 kinds
of penny candies and 200 differ
ent make of nickel bars. This
terrific demand for candies of
all sorts has made the industry
one of the 10 largest in the coun-
try, and only bears out Mr..
zupnik's sta tenn ent that the
candy business has tripled since
prohibition. I

director of Rockville, Md, who
occupies the building erected by
his father for the Pumphrey
funeral home, enjoys a prestige
among his colleagues seldom ac-
corded a young man.
His unusual antecedent, how
ever, coupled with his intelligent
study of the modern trend IN the
business of funeral direction, have
advanced Warner E. Humphrey
into the circle of the better few.
Among the more recent i'm
provements by Mr.. Pumphrey is
one of particular merit: the en-
tire building has been renovated,
the chapel in quiet modern tones,
the various rooms redecorated to
harmonic with up-to-date cere'
monies.

DUNLOPTIRESAT
SLASHEDPR|CES

The Dunlop Tire and Rubber
Company has adopted new
method of distribution which en-.
ables their dealers to sell Dun,
lop tires at very low prices. Dun,
lop makes only one grade OF
tire, while many companies are
now making as many as four
grades which confuses the buyer
attempting to select the best
grade of tire for the money.
Leeth Brothers, the local Dun
lop dealers at 1920 Thirteenth
st. N. W., say that the hardest
task they have under the new
plan is to convince their Gus,
toners that they sell tires of the
same old high standard of quail,
ity at such low prices. Mr.. Ashby
Leeth went on to say:
"The plan is very simple to
the average business man.
Here it is: we buy our tires
through a special arrangement
with the president of the Dun.
lOp Tire Company at the actual
cost of making, plus small
percentage of profit without
any selling or distribution cost
added. Under the old plan of
distribution, the cost of selling
was from two to three times
as much as the cost of manu-
featuring.
In other words, the selling
and distribution cost of DunIon
tires in this territory is borne
by Leeth Brothers. A 33x6. 90
heavy-duty tire which formerly
sold under the old plan for
SE4.5O we are now selling for
S11.85. There is absolutely no
reduction in quality; in fact,
the tires are actually better"
Leeth Brothers operate one of
tne lew remaining independent
service tire stores in the city, and
tney have wonderful and ap.
prec1ative clientele. They also
manufacture the Express Battery
which is becoming very popular
Mr.. Leeth also explained this.
The Express Battery is for
any type of automobile. BY buy,
Ing the individual parts and as
Sembling them ourselves, we are
able to give the public a better
article for less money than we
could if we were to buy the al
ready completed battery. When
we sell an Express Battery to a
man he is buying it at the fac
tory, not from a dealer who is
Fyramiding both profits and
prices"
