Pictured above is the interior of
the Office Supply company which
has recently been redecorated in
preparation for increased business
which Louis B. AIcManus. manager
Of the company. expects Imperial
Valley to realize during the coming
months
In addition to repainting ana
reararnging Of merchandise the
entire floor of the Office Supply
company store has been covered
with inlaid hnoleum installed by
the contract department Of the I'M
perial Valley Hardware company.
NIcManus chose a pattern Of Arm
strong hnoleum in marble-ized
block tile of modern black and
white effect because he states it is
particularly adapted to business
floors as it reflects light without
detracting from the merchandise
display This is one of many SINH
lar hnoleum installations made in
local stores by the Imperial Val
ley Hardware company.
Among the services recently ad-
ded by the Office Supply company
are the circulating library, a COM
plete philatelic service for stamp

monogramming paper, cardboard
and leather goods. Additional plans
have been made for merchandise

slump in business this summer"
stated today, because El
Centro will undoubtedly receive its
share Of the increased tourist busi-
ness resulting from the San Diego
exposition. Many exposition visitors
will stop over in El Centro and
Imperial Valley will receive its
share Of tourist money. Due to ia
vorable weather conditions our own
people are not planning such long
vacations and the general outlook
for summer and fall seems much
brighter than for several years

vertising was included in a proposal
placed before the assembly today
by Assemblyman John B. Pelletier,

bill specifically provides that the

the tax would amount to 10 per
cent plus interest of one-half per
cent per month.

COOPERATING
ON MIA PLAN

Cooperating with the govern
ment's Federal Housing Act TO the
fullest extent, Edgar Bros: com
pany, is offering prospective pur-
chasers of Frigidaire electric refrig-
orators the most liberal terms III
the history of credit finance, ac,
cording to M. Munsoa, sales mana
ger of Edgars' Frigidaire division.
ANY one Of l6 brand new 1885
models of Fripidaire may be pur-
chased under the Federal Housing
Act" Munson said every one is
equipped with FIigidaire's famous
super freezer which is particular
" advantageous to the owner who
lives in Imperial Valley he added.
we are also offering Standard
electric ranges and water heaters.
1900 washers and ironers, and Gen
eral paint and roofing under the
loan terms of the MIA" Munson
stated
"Our primary reason for doing
this, of course Munson said. lis
to get additional business. How
ever. the government is very
anxious that merchants do go
after this business and that they
cooperate in every way possible
with the modernization and build
ing program. All of these labor
and time-saving devices and ap-
piances make the home-owner's a
pleasanter and more valuable place
TO live.
Reduces Unemployment
In addition to raising our ma
tons living standards the pro-
gram has put millions of men to
work in factories, trades, and the
selling end of many great indus
tries having to do with building
and the manufacturing of ap-
pliances for the home.
1--WE believe the people of I'M
perial Valley are just as eager as
any other group of people in the
country to improve their homes
with every possible convenience
and labor saver. We also believe
that every home in the valley
should be equipped with electrical
refrigeration. And our coopera-
tive program with the Housing Act
makes it possible for all home
owners to do so. In addition to
our special Housing Act terms we
offer non-home owners the op-
portunity of purchasing Frigidaire
on a small down payment easy
term payment plan which should
make this modern convenience
within the reach of ALL" Munson
concluded.

GASOLINE USE OFF
MILLION GALLONS
1884 Record Low Here, Despite
Increase of s,054 in Auto
Registration.

Washington automobile owners used
almost a million gallons less gasoline
in 1884 than the year previous, de-
spite the fact more cars we're regis
tered here last year than the year
before, according to the A. A. A. Dis
trict Motor Club.
Automobile registrations in Wash
ington totaled 157 1854 in the year just
closed, compared with 149,790 in 1888,
an increase of SIS per cent. Gasoline
consumption in the District amounted
to 1o3,670,000 gallons, against 104.-
$4,000 gallons in the previous year,
a decline of 113 per cent.
Traffic congestion in downtown
sections was given as the cause for
this falling off on local car operation.

5 MILLION RADIO
SETSNOW IN USE
Nearly Half of Total Are in
United States, Survey
Reveals.

TN ALL the world there are now
approximately 53,500,000 radio
sets in use, nearly half of them
in the United States.
This increase of 100000 over
the last count, made in 1884, is seen
by Andrew w. Cruise, chief of the
Department of Commences electrical
equipment division, as an evidence of
international as we'll as national
business recovery. Radio authorities
have long looked upon the distribu-
ton of radio equipment as an in
teresting If minor index to economic
conditions, for the peaks and dips
of radio set sales during the last
dozen years have conceded remark
ably with the graphs of national
business
Whether a radio census Of for
eign land furnishes a true sugges-
ton Of its economic status seems to
be a matter Of conjecture. The fact
nevertheless remains that the pre-
ponderance of radio ownership, even
out of all proportion to populations,
Is found among the more progressive
nations of the world, while the coun-
tries regarded as backward have rela-
lively few listening posts.
The same applies to broadcasting sta
tions, of which there are 1887 medium
wave stations reported in Cruse's 1885
survey of world radio, 1876 short wave
stations and So long wave stations.
This count includes only those trans
mitting program material. There are
thousands more of stations in the
radiophone and radiotelegraph class
that transmit commercial point-to-
point messages as contrasted to sta
tions whose outpourings are destined
for mass reception.
u. S. Leads World.
Whatever the significance in world
or national economy, the fact is that
the United States, where more than
100000 radios were sold last year,
leads the rest of the world with total
of slightly more than 25,5O0,00 radios
In use (of which nearly 100000 are
auto radios). Great Britain has about
100000; Germany, 6,15o,ooo; Russia,
100000; Japan. 1,850,00O, and
France, 1850, ,0o0 On the other hand,
only five radios are counted in all OF

moliland, 20 in the Azores, 25 in

The United States accounts for all
but about 100000 of the radios in
North America, Canada having about
100000, Mexico $4,000. and. Cuba
100000 All the countries of Europe
combined. with less than 81 10000
radios, fall behind the United States
in radio set ownership. The other
continental divisions bulk very much
smaller.
A recapitulation of Mr.. Cruses re-
port reveals 26.592,6l3 radios in all
of North America, 20,758,363 in
Europe, 2,05O,339 in Asia. zoos, 500
