Small Advertisement

Dog And Its Owner

Ask Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Edwards

advertisement for their "lost deg"

Price Outlook Mixed
Due To Labor Unrest;
Cooper OFF Two Cents

1t has been generally quiet on the
business front lately, with the indi-
Gators tending slightly downward.
Activity in the stock market has
been sporadic, with occasional "cOr-
rective setbacks" taking place, and
with prOfit-taking a moderately dis
sturbing Influence. Nothing note
worthy has occurred in the bond
market.
Reason for the downward trend
Of the Indicators, says Business
Teek can be found in the abnormal
II high level recorded toward the
close of 1886 and the beginning of
1887, rather than the current level" "
In other words, in the immediate
past, activity was artificially fever
;sh, due largely to prospective labor
troubles and prospective price
rises. Inventories wese built up
"apidly-in some cases, to excessive
proportions. Buyers thronged a
sellers market. Now the situation
is little different.
The problem OF labor difficulties
remains-though hopes are held
that the National Labor Relations
Act will prove a soothing factor tC
both labor and capital. But the
3rice outlook now is mixed. Nc
/ longer does it appear certain that
continuous rises will take place this
year. Copper prices recently drop
/ ped more than two cents. A large

there would be no increases in the
third quarter. Scrap prices are

Continental Oil
Finds Newspaper
Advertising Best

Convinced that newspaper space
represents the most advantageous
medium for merchandising its pro-
ducts as evidenced by substantial
increases in sales of Conoco germ
DrOcessed motor oil following past
advertising campaigns,
Continental Oil Company is again
launching a large scale advertising
campaign in some 1400 carefully
selected papers in all sections OF
the nation. The campaign will con-
tirue into September and will be
DISTINGUISHED by the fact that it
will feature the local dealer as well
as the cOmpany's oil.
Surveys conducted by Cont
lentars advertising department
showed two factors which decided
the nature of the forthcoming cam
paign. First, it was ascertained that
the best sales results followed the
use Of newspaper advertising; and
second, that the average motorlst
is far more concerned with the mile
age he obtains from his motor oil
than any other single factor.
Co.relainG this information with
the fact that Continental distribu-
zion is now conducted entirely
through local independent dealers,
the advertising campaign will stress
that each dealer is mileage merch-
qnt, who, in order to retain his
customers and gain new ones, must
sell mileage in the form of a motor
oil which will give efficient service

ness Featured in Pop
ular Comedy

On the screen at the Capitol the
atre for the last time tonight, comes
to life that unforgettable character,
the Old Soak, immortalized by Don
Marquis in his original novel Wal
lace Berry now finds his greatest
role in this Characterization.
The picture, Good Old Soak, "
from Metro Goldwyn Mayer, draws
cross-section of the America that
was-the United States in the era
of prohibition.
Berry portrays the character of
a small-town philosopher who re-
tires from active business in order
to locate the local speakeasies.
The complications of the plot
revolve around a family nestegg
that is stolen. OF course the Old
Soak is blamed The manner in
which he restores the money and
reunites the clan makes a story that
provided many laughs for the au-
dfence
Berry, in the leading role, utilities
all of his innate knowledge of hui
man nature and virtually lives the
character conceived by Marquis
during those confusing years of the
dry era in America
In the supporting cast Una Mer-
KEEL contributes another of her de-
lightfully funny portrayals as Mel
lie, Eric Linden gives a sensitive
warmth to the role of Beery's son,
Clemmie, Judith Barrett enliven
the drama with her singing of
You've Got Certain Something
and Betty Furness scores in the
port of Beery's daughter.

Manhattan college, the defending
champion, in the mile at the inter-
collegiate outdoor championships at
Randalls Island.
AT the last minute, Coach Jack
Moakley decided his lanky star
would have a better chance at a
longer distance so he started him
in the Emile instead.
WEIGH turned in very smart
race in taking the 2-mile title Con-
tent to stay within striking distance
of the leaders until the final lap,
he saved enough energy for strong
kick Coming off the last turn,
he ran his rivals into the ground,
winning by 10 yards.
With the experience and the
strength he has gained, Welch IS
likely to cut quite a figure in the
mile classics this winter if Coach
Moakley decided to let him enter.
The strong finishes he has flashed
in recent triumphs indicate he is
likely to be dangerous contender
in any company. saa
