FROM HUMBLE Beginnings

A short time ago the president
and founder of one of the leading
American chain store systems
died. The story of his life was
widely printed in newspapers. 1t
was a simple American story of
well-earned success. He had come
to this country as an migrant
boy. After many years of work he
accumulated enough money to
start small retail store. 1t pros
pered, and he started another in
a nearby town. Little by little
the system grew until it operated
in about half the states.
Most of the great enterprises
that serve America, came from
such humble beginnings. And
that is especially true of the chain
store business. No important
chain ever sprang full-fedged into
existence. The great majority Of
them grew gradually, from a
single store, run by man with
vision. the ability to serve public
efficiently and well, and a willing
ness to work and save. And the
great maj ority of chain store exc
cutives rose from the ranks, af-
ter starting at the most obscure
jobs.
The charge that the chains are
creatures of Wall Street is mis-
conception and without founda-
ton. The men who own and oper-
ate chains live in all sections of
the country, in the little towns as
we'll as the big cities.
In all probability the chains of
the future will come out of the

Did You Know That L.
NOTICE: Listen in to Station WTAM
Cleveland every Thursday 1880 p. m
and hear "Know Your Navy.

Contrary to the general belief, the
Y. S. Navy Recruiting Service does not
try to persuade young men to enlist
in the Navy. Their job is to sort out
the desirable boys, whom they believe
will make good men of -warsmen, judg-
ing them by their character, intelli-
gence, aptitude and physical fitness.
No boy or man, regardless of age, can
be enlisted if he or his parents show
the slightest reluctance to his entering
the Naval Service.
The Navy Department maintains
and operates supply depot in Hankow
(China), located SOL miles up the
Yangtze River from Shanghai. The
duties of this Depot are to supply the
ships of the Yangtze River Patrol with
supplies from time to time, as the ships
on this duty are too small to carry
over months supplies at one time.
Our American Navy has always been
much more then an arm of wartime de-
Tense. All the money that has ever
been spent on the Navy has been re-
turned to the community several times
over in direct stimulus to industrial
development. We may be very sure
that in the future, as in the past, the
Navy's services to industry and the
arts of peace and science will continue
completely to Justify it's maintenance
in the highest efficiency.
The U. s. Navy Recruiting Station,

THE BANKS ARE READY.

Financing of the national de-
fence program can and should
be carried on through the normal
existing channels without the
creation of new agencies, mecha-
nism or Devices according to
the president of the American
Bankers Association.
"The banks of this country
have the resources" the state
ment continued, "the trained per-
sonnel and the knowledge of their
own communities. which equip
them, along with the investment
markets, to handle a very large
part of the Necessary financing.
The financing can be carried out
in such ways as will enable the
banks to provide an adequate
volume of loans and at the same
time safeguard the funds of their
depositors.
"All banks should be actively
and energetically soliciting every
sound loan in their communities
especially is it true they should
try in every possible way to make
every loan that has anything to
do with the defense program"
1t would be tragic mistake if
the defense program was to be
accompanied by a widespread
extantion of government bureaus
and departments. Inevitably, the
cost of the program would be un-
necessarily increased. Delay
would be unavoidable. Red taps
would run rampant, at the ex-
pense of speed and efficiency and
economy. Political consideration
would in many cases be para
mount, and the public interest
would be secondary. Politics can
not be eliminated, but it must be
minimized.

TWO STRAIGHT WAYS"

The time has come, says the
News of Ronceverte. West Vir-
ginia, when America must choose
between survival of the profit
system and eventual communism
There are Just two straight ways
The editorial deals with con-
sumner cooperatives which pro
mise to provide the farmers with
what they buy and use without
paying a profit And the News
says of that, "This simply can't
be done without government or
taxpayer subsidy. 1t is impossible
to distribute and market merchan
disc or products without cost. 1t
is impossible to buy and carry
stocks at no cost, no overhead.
1t takes only a little straight
thinking to trace such delusions
as buying without profit to the
logical and that the farmers are
leading themselves to the point
where they will be doing one an
others chores for a living"
AS a matter of fact, the con-
sumer cooperation dream has
been largely blasted by the cold
light of actual operating exper-
ience. A considerable number of
such organizations have been
started in this country, but few
of them have gone far. And the
reason for their general failure is
plain-they have not been able to
give the consumer anything not
offered by private, proft-making
retailers, competing aggressively
with each other. In many cases
coop prices have been higher
stocks of goods have been made
quate-service has been poor.
They have found that their over
head was far larger than expect
ed. They have found they could
not escape the problems and the
costs that all businesses must
bear, and that, as a consequence,
optimistic forecasts as to savings
to the consumer could not be
realized.
Private merchandising, chain
and independent. is doing su-
perb job of serving this country.
1t must be given a large share of
the credit for the American stand
ard of living. 1t has been boon
to the little town, no less than
the great city. 1t is obvious that
if government should subsidize
co-ops, prices could be cut-even
as prices could be cut if govern
ment subsidized any other busi-
ness. And then private business
would be on the way out. and
communism would be on the way
in. Destroy the profit motive
and you destroy democracy.

THE RETURN OF
PETER GRIMM"
HUGE SUCCESS
Fred Schuller, a Cleveland Saxon
boy, gives remarkable chacac.
terization of title role.

The performance of Fred Schulz
Ter - Cleveland boy - in the
role of Peter Grimm" in the
Cleveland Theatre for Youths re-
vival of "The Return of Peter
Grimm substantiates our claim
that here is a boy who is definit-
ly to be watched and whose name
will be among the ranking thea
triCal stars in the not too distant
future.
In the role created by that
star of stars, David Warfeld,
Schuller gives a remarkable cha
racterization of this most difficult
role. The various phases of cha
racter and the many emotions the
part calls for are artistically por-
trayed by this young Cleveland
born Saxon youth and marks him
as an actor that Cleveland will
be proud to call it's own.

German. Baloney to them and
everyone else as long as we
mind our own business and that
is just what we are doing. Our

when we sing in German and
even we feel "swelled up" inside
because we know another langu-
age. Let's di scard this B. S. and
honor and further "Das Deutsche
