Garages and Service
Stations to Haze Sales
Inning in Ely Crusade
Local Firms Join Crusade
to Stimulate Buying and
Provide Jobs.
THIRD WEEK OF DRIVE
Garages, Service Stations
Play Prominent Part in
Community Life.

This week the garages and service
stations in Ely join the big parade
the parade to stimulate more buying,
more jobs, better times. The coming
week will be their week in the National
Salesmens Crusade going into its third
week here. The building and home
furnishing industry and the group COM
prising the mems and women's cloth
ing stores, the variety stores, the jewelry
stores, and the drug store have oc-
cupied the spotlight during the pre-
ceding two weeks
Other groups are laying plans for
taking part in the crusade to impress
upon Ely citizens the importance of
their purchases in relation to creating
and maintaining jobs for other people.
Every time an article or services are
purchased, the buyer not only gets
value in return for money spent but
he performs very important function
in making it possible for some one, or
perhaps several people, to make a
livelihood
For example, the sale of an auto
mobile not only provides the dealer with
a living and helps him in keeping sew
ereal men on the payroll, but it is also
reflected in employment Of miners who
dig the ore from which the steel used
in constructing the car is made. It also
provides work for many other people
whose labor is represented in the manu-
facture of an auto.
In Ely the garages and service stations
furnish employment for approximately
30 local people. 1t is estimated that
their weekly payroll is about $1,000.
This money flows into local channels of
trade and forms an important part in
maintaining the purchasing power of
Ely residents.
Many local merchants are now dis
playing the Were Cooperating" signs
in their windows. Many articles of
merchandise going to buyers now bear
the SALES Mean Jobs stickers, and
the red, white and blue crusade buttons
adorn the coats or shirts of a good
share of Ely employers and employees.
This material is available at the office
of Ray Hoefler. secretary of the Ely
Commercial club.

RUSH WORK ON
tennis COURTS
Asphalt Courts Will be New to
This Section; Expect Work
Completion, Sept. 3.

The two new tennis courts at the
Memorial school grounds should be
ready for use by week from Saturday,
according to r. L. Ormsby, Duluth, sup
cruising engineer. The completion of
the courts depends somewhat upon the
weather since the asphalt used in their
construction cannot be put on during
rainy weather
The use of asphalt for surfacing
tennis courts is something new for this
section of the country, although it is
common on the West coast. The one in
Ely is one of the few of its kind in the
state. Two courts are being surfaced
under the present project, a PWA one,
and it is thought more would be COM
pleted next year.
Asphalt makes an ideal surface for
the courts. 1t is unaffected by frost or
wet weather They are extremely
'fast," and eliminate any unnatural
bounces on the part of the ball. Like
walking across rubber, they provide an
absolutely smooth surface.
In making the courts an eight-inch
crushed rock base was first laid. Over
this was placed one and quarter
inch mixture of asphaltic emulsion and
crushed rock. The final layer of as
phaltic emulsion and fine sand was then
put on and the courts rolled. Seven
hundred tons of crushed rock were
used in the two courts.
The asphaltic emulsion is nothing
more than asphalt suspended in water.
The asphalt is crushed very fine,
cubic inch making 100000 particles.
When it is mixed with the rock and
the water evaporates, the mixture forms
one solid surface.
Mr.. OrmSby represents United Labor
atories, Inc, group of material re-
search engineers who discover, tests,
write the process for using new ma
terials of many classifcations, and
supervise the use or construction of
them for commercial purposes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5
1.N.SD.-The Stock Market
this week idled along at re-
duced speed pending out
come of next Tuesdays elec-
ton. Volume, although aver
aging around 100000
shares, was less than preced-
ing weeks and price move
ments were irregular within
a comparatively narrow
range.
The industrials advanced
from 151.O7 to 1870 but
railroads and utilities showed
small deficits, the former
moving down from 31.89 to
31.77 and utilities from 24.44
to 1880.
SteadineSs in the rail
group, despite the "NO-pay-
cut" recommendation of the
emergency board, was one of
the features of the dull week.
Power production and steel
output expanded. Auto COM
panieS reached peak capacity
turning out new models.

In addition to steels and mo-

essence of the truth, that "on
caper," the union contracts were
one thing, but that in actual prac-
tice, the employers were the un-
derdogs and had to abide by the
unions dictates.
They emphasized that, while the
minimum wage IN New York IN
certain fields is $63 and is $67
on newspapers, the average pay
is higher. They also emphasized
that not half as many apprentices
are admitted as the number OF
deaths among engraverS and
that, if the industry is to survive,
something drastic inevitably must
be done to remedy the situation,
presumably by resorting to some
mechanical or other substitute.
The privilege of belonging to
this union is appraised highly by
those running it. In one recent
year, the New York dues and as
sessments totaled 1894 per mem
ber, in another year, 1888; in Chi
cago, and Philadelphia, well over
$500.

dent of the International Photo

lea, have his say:
"I am surprised at the mis-
statements and references made

tribute to an oid-established,
high-grade firm of New England
book printers. Many of these
references are absolutely false.
In no instance does the
union decide upon the number
Of men or personnel to be en-
gagged. Likewise, false is the
reference that the union has un-
fairly curtailed apprentices.
II am sending you a booklet
which contains the wage rates
and hours in effect throughout
the industry. I am sure you will
not find them out of proportion
with wages paio or conditions
granted to other skilled groups.

should dispel all thought that

gagged in, or that there is any
