I want to tell you, as it was told to me, about one of the more re- cent results of this search and how a bic boom has come to the quiet little resort town of Bantam, Conn.
 In that town where business never has hustled at all, there was a fellow who got the idea of mak- ing aluminium barber chairs. It was an innovation-a new idea that had to be sold. It was slow-going at first but it WAS going and right nicely. New machine tools had been produced and aluminium experts brought in as the business expand ed.
 Then came national defense and the aluminium shortage. Imagine where the aluminium barber chair business might have been today. But something happened. Some body discovered that the Bantam manufacturer had facilities to make one thing the Army and Navy wanted badly--seats for bombers.
 That's how Bantam got it's boom and that's how hundreds of other manufacturers who figured out now to be convertible" have quit singing the priorities blues.

Closing of Barlum Hotel
Ends Saga Of Founder
Ia Years Ago Detroiters Celebrated
at Gala Opening ON Wednesday
Last of Guests Straggle Out
BY MILTON NJ. MURRAY

Just over IA years ago-Feb.
10, 1921 select crowd of De-
troiters, admitted by card, jammed
through the ornate lobby of the
city's newest hotel to dine and
dance in celebration Of its opening.
Wednesday afternoon the last
OF its guests and all of its en-
ployes except a staff of watchmen
will struggle out OF the same
and the Barlum Hotel
will close until some one can be
found to take il over.
Closing of the Barlum puts a
period to chapter of Detroit his
tory and emphasizes the moral OF
pride going before a fall.
The Barlum was a thing OF
pride - justifiable pride - of the
man whose name it bears, John
J. Barlum.

Early Training

When John Barlum v'1s boy

every morning and sfHhdle
through the market places deliv-
ering meats for his father, a
wholesaler.
Cadillac Square. where the Bar
lum stands, was the public mar
ket place. its central portion
rooted over to protect the green
grocers' and butchers stalls. John
Barlum knew the ways OF the
market place and profited by his
knowledge.
When the market place changed
John Barlum changed. He became
a ship owner and prospered. He
invested part of his wealth In a
bank and became its president.
He was an important figure in
civic affairs and was appointed a
commissioner OF street railways.
John Barlum was not ashamed
that he had labored for his live
lihood and took pride in the mar
ket place where he had begun his
career.

In this honest pride he chose
the edge of that market place as
the site for a hotel to bear his
name and, later alongside it the
towering office building called the
Barlum Tower.
The fortune that John Barlum
garnered was product of an era
Like others. he had blind faith in

ended his fortune ended. His bank.
