AUTO WINTER
SAFETY NEWS
Watch Your Skidding Hazard
If You Want to Avoid
Accidents
CUT DOWN YOUR SPEED

Tragedy is not always shrouded
in black. Under a white mantle of
snow during the Christmas holi-
days, death often walks to bring
suffering and sorrow to thousands
of American homes While joy and
hope are reflected in red-glowing
holly wreaths in millions of win
doWs, death descends like a blight
on a nations happiness. Death,
the ruthless masquerader, the cruel
and ironic jester, filled many a
heart with grief instead of good
cheer last Christmas The Della
ware Safety Council and more than
a score of other organizations are
united in a campaign to see that
this shall not happen again. They
are asking every motorist and pc
destrian to use extra care in driv-
ing and walking. Remember, when
you drink and drive you gamble
with your own life and with the
lives of those who ride with you;
more hours of darkness increase
the odds against the motorist and
pedestrian; slippery pavements
cause skids and make it difficult to
stop in time; everyone is intoxicat-
ed with the festive holiday spirit
and inclined to be careless. The
Council urges all to help make this
a white Christmas. not black with
tragedy, not red with blood
Stop your skidding this winter if
you want to live The Council
warns that wet roads are two to
four times more slippery than dry
roads, and that snow or ice-covered
are five to ten times
more slippery than dry roads.

member, accidents go up when the

Manufacture of nylon yarn in

duction of the yarn, scheduled or

building unit being completed earl
ier than was anticipated when the
construction work started January
20 last. Operations will proceed
gradually gaining speed as exper-

proved satisfactory before other

Jester as first prize in the Della
ware Grange safety essay contest.
The wards have ben sent to State
Master Jester by the Education
ing the contest. Taylor's paper,
titled Making Rural Communities
Safe through Grange Activities"
was judged along with other Win
ners of the essay contest which was
conducted in the local Grange or-

missioner of the Public Roads Ad-
ministration, is Chairman.

sand Subordinate organizations

A SMYRNA BOYS BUSINESS
SUCCESS

SOCCESS
AS each year draws to a close it
is but natural for business men to
sum up their affairs and see how
they stand. 1t is we'll for commun-
tiles to do the same, as this is the
only way by which it can be ascer-
tanned whether they are advancing
or falling back. The carer of Will
mington for the year that has al
most closed will bear careful ex-
animation with highly successful
results. Several new and impos-
ing buildings have been erected On
Market street, which of themselves
denote prosperity and increased
business. The present year, the
same of many which have proceed
ed it, has had it's drawbacks, but
still there is great cause for con-
graduation. The industrial estab-
lishments are being run to their
full capacity, securing to the great
army of wage earners continuous
employment, and inquiry of many
of the business men and merchants
show that they have received the
benefit from the large amount of
wages paid out by tn different cor
porations and firms. Among others
called upon was Samuel H. Bayn-
ard, the well known jeweler at
Fifth and Market streets. Upon
being asked in reference for bust
ness, Mr.. Baynard said that he had
no cause to complain, and in fact
never has had since he consummat-
ed his great undertaking of giving
the citizens of Wilmington an es-
tablishment which will favorably
compare with any in the same line
of the metropolitan cities. 1t is
just six years since Mr.. Baynard
took possession and opened the
store in his large building, and did
it against the predictions of some
of his warmest friends, who
thought an immense establishment
such as he proposed was far in ad-
vance of the needs of this city.
These dire predictions have not
been verified, as his success has ex-
ceeded his anticipations, and Mr..
Baynard's career shows that busi-
ness push and energy will succeed
as we'll in Wilmington as in the
rapidly growing Western cities.
This model business man does not
believe in resting on the laurels al
ready won, but is continually using
his best efforts to increase his bust
ness by every legitimate means at
his command, consequently he is
now better prepared than ever for
the coming holiday trade. 1t re-
quires but glance into his palace
to convince any one of this fact,
while an inspection will show that
his prices are as low as the same
goods can be purchased for in the
large cities. The entire lower floor
is filled with clocks, watches, jew
elry Of all kinds, gold and silver
headed canes, and silverware, com
posing the largest, finest and best
selected stock ever offered in this
city. The second story is devoted
to pianos and organs, all of the
best manufacture, and the finest
instruments known. All goods sold
by Mr.. Baynard are guaranteed to
be as represented, and this honest
manner of conducting business is
one of the secrets of his great sue
cess.
