DO YOU
DO IT?

Away back in the year 1901, thirty-five years ago
when we left the farm in Arson county, North Caro-
lima and entered the Mercantile Business, we concev
ed the idea that could buy merchandise for less by
paying cash. and by selling for cash. We could elim-
nate lot of additional expense in the cost of opera
ton and from the losses of bad accounts, and
at that time 35 years Efirds originated the first
and only one price cash Department Store known in
the United States. All during these years we have
grown by passing these savings on to our customers
and friends and any success we may have achieved
in the Mercantile Business, we owe it to you, our
customers and friends. During the past several
weeks we have spent much time with mills, manufac-
turers, and commission merchants. using our same
method we have used during these 35 years, buying
the best merchandise could procure at prices that
will mean big savings to you what you have had
to pay during the past several years.

NEW YORK, Sept. Is. - Gene
Buck. although only in middle years,
is more than any other figure along
the thoroughfare, Broadway's Last
Guardsman. A valiant, lone de
fender Of lost traditions on the
street that once whipped the uni
verse but is now only sparkless ashes
of a glory that was.
Buck. one. of the shreWdest show
men and organizers on the Rialto,
is more than all else the super
sentimentalist who has never been
chilled by the marbly-hearted world
in which he cast his lot. He re-
fuses to believe Broadway is no
longer Broadway.
He came to the street from De
troit hugging his dream. Beginning
as song cover artist, he suddenly
entered a world Of darkness, stone
blind! His vision returned mira
culously one night in the Broadway
blaze. And that bright picture is
one for him that never fades.
Every noon Gene is at his table
at the Lambs-a table once graced
by Victor Herbert, Wilton Lackaye,
and so many others now gone, to
whom Gene was the fair-haired boy,
gushing his later-realized ambitions.
The scene and actors change. Buck
does not. He still holds aloft the
Broadway torch.

Inauguration Plans Laid Cere-

March 5 -. Money appropriated

WASHINGTON-The pneumonia rate from
presidential inaugurations is going to take
jump and weather hazards for these spectacles
will be materially increased.
That's one of the thoughts occurring to Off
cials who already are making plans for the first
January Inauguration. Thanks to the Norris
lame duck constitutional amendment, the win
ner of the November election will be inaugura-
ted January 20.
Washington frequently has substantial bliz-
yards in January, and the chances of bad wealth.
er then are much better than for March 4, the
old Inauguration date
A design for the platform, which usual
will be built out from the portion on the east
front of the Capitol, already has been drawn
by David Lynn, architect of the Capitol.
Congress will meet January 5. Because ID
days wouldn't have been enough to organize
Inaugural preparations and get the platform
up congressional leaders thoughtfully legisated
authorization and $4,000 for expenses before
they adjourned in June.
1t also appropriated $4,000 for District of
Columbia officials to provide for safety and
convenience of visiting crowds and authorized
erection of grandstands federal land down.

AS far as can be learned, neither the New

elaborate preparation for big celebration pend

can be sure of big doings in Washington on and
