this successful beginning by
making 1913 a new beginning
and the biggest year yet for the
Zion Department Store. Fine
values in famous national
brands have been lined up for
the anniversary sale, and he
hopes that everyone in Zion
will help celebrate the stores
birthday by coming in to see
for themselves that they need
not go out of town to buy new
spring clothes, furniture,
housewares-or anything elst!
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1948-04-07

Back in 1902, when the store
first opened for business, it was
SO eargerly received by the
people of Zion that it had to be
enlarged twice during that
year. 1t was then approximate
ly the same size that it is today
which, incidentally, rivals
city department stores in
square footage. Soon after the
grand opening fortysix years
ago, two thousand customers
made purchases in one day.
Teichner plans to live up to

ments to make this a truly
memorable anniversary for the
Zion Department Store.
"We're looking forward, not
glancing backward, on this an
niversary," he explained. His
plans, begun in January when
he became manager of the
store, are now we'll establish
ed.
First step in the program
was to assemble a complete
new stock of merchandise
bearing the brand names of the
country's leading manufacture
ers, and to watch continually
for special values to offer GUS
toners. New policies of SER
vice were introduced - not
only over the counter, but
throughout the community.
This has already been evident
in the stores eagerness to CO.
operate with club and church
groups, the teen age fashion
board of high school students,
who choose the styles they
want to carry, and Teichner's
support in activities of the Zion
Chamber of Commerce.
He has also begun a long
range program to improve the
appearance and efficiency of
the store. This plan got under
way last month, when the ra-
dio, furniture, and major ap-
pliance departments were en-
larged and effective new dis
plays set up to show off the
new home furnishings to the
best advantage.
AS further service to GUS
toners, he is now completing
plans for the new credit de-
partment. In the past the store
operated on a cash basis, but
Teichner feels that an efficient
system of charge accounts
Will be a great convenience to
shoppers.
To avoid confusion, each
charge customer will receive
an itemized list of purchases
every month. Formerly, GUS
toners who charged an item to
any of the Zion Industries
merely received a bill for the
amount. The Zion Department
Store feels that complete
statement of purchases will be
worth the extra work by MAX
ing charge account shopping
easier and pleasanter.

2. The area north of 9th
Street was considered for pos
sible sites. No site sufficient
ly large for present needs with
out regard to future expansion
which the Board considered
pertinent was available. Pur-
chase of more expensive prop
erty and the possibility of con-
domination proceedings would
have been necessary. The
Board felt that the taxpay-
er's interests would be better
served by retaining the old site.
3. A survey of pupil popu-
lation at the time the decision
on the location was made show
ed that 1875 Of the 179 pupils in
grades l to 6 residing east of
Sheridan Road lived south of
9th Street.
4. The school site at 26th
Street, originally owned by the
Board, was considered too
small and offered no opportun-
1ty for expansion without con-
domination proceedings. It was,
therefore, sold.
5. The Board felt that there
was a possibility of another
building being required in the
northeast part of the city since
much building and growth
w a S taking place in this
area. It was also considered
that the children living in the
extreme north end of the area
east of Sheridan Road might
continue to attend Lakeview
School if their parents prefer
red and were willing to risk the
hazard of the Sheridan Road
crossing.
6. The proposed building is
planned to house only the first
six grades and kindergarten.
The seventh and eighth grade
pupils would go to the new in
termediate school.
We make this explanation in
order to show North Side Resi-
dent that the Board has given
careful consideration to the
problem and has felt that the
action taken was in the best in

Poor Election Showino'
OF India sCommunists

Communism is very strong in the
industrial sections of India, Sir
Bengal Rama Rau, Ambassador to
the United States, said last night.
. He added, however, that, although
the Communists have instigated
several strikes, they still have made
poor showing in elections.
Sir Bengal, who arrived here to
assume his post about two weeks
ago, made his statements during
an Embassy press conference which
touched mainly upon, the progress
made by the new nation.
This includes advances in the
fields of food, agriculture, irriga-
ton and multi-purpose power
schemes, industrial policy and in
dustrialiZation, commerce, economy
and finance, communications, health,
education and various other services
With the nation approaching its
first anniversary of independence
on Sunday, Sir Bengal declared
it has surmounted most of the prob
lens of an infant country, although
it still has before it the problem of
Hyderabad.
This princely state, he said. is
one which remains outside the
dominion and has become IAN
island surrounded by democratic
states" which formerly were feudal-
istic and totalitarian themselves,
until the union was achieved.
Sir Bengal told of contemplated
power projects similar in magnitude
to our Tennessee Valley Authority.
He said that, when they materialize,
they will make the Dominion of
india self-sufficient and even an
exporter state.
He spoke of the importance of
American help, particularly in the
fields of machinery supply and
technical aid, as a means of achiev-
ing further results.
