II elping America buy what it wants

FORTY YEARS AGO, when I founded
COMMERCIAL CREDIT COMPANY, a small group of
people joined with me in providing our original
capital of 800 THOUSAND DOLLARS. Through
increases in capital and retained earnings, our
present capital and surplus is in excess of 125
MILLION DOLLARS.
The original COMMERCIAL CREDIT stock pro-
spectus contained the words, "THE FIELD
OF OPERATIONS IS PRACTICALLY UN-
LIMITED" Yes, we started with confidence in
our ability to succeed, but know that none of US
in our original group foresaw COMMERCIAL
CREDIT COMPANY as it is today, for none of us
could foresee the miracle of Americas industrial
growth in the last 40 years.
In 1851 gross receivables acquired by the
Finance Companies of COMMERCIAL CREDIT were
2783, ,942, All; earned premiums of its Insurance
Companies were $780, 464, ,036; and net sales of its
Manufacturing Companies were $99, lie, ,875.
These operations were carried on through some
1880 employees located in more than $50 Offices
throughout the United States and Canada. We
have come long way in the past forty years and
want to pay public tribute to those who have
helped write COMMERCIAL CREDITS success story:
To the millions of customers who have used
and are using our services.
panies, institutional and other investors who
have loaned BILLIONS of dollars to
COMMERCIAL CREDIT to make our continuing
operations and growth possible.
To some 28, 900 stockholders, large and small;
who have bought and now own over ~
MILLION shares of COMMERCIAL CREDIT
common stock.
To the manufacturers, distributors and
dealers for their endorsement and use Of
various COMMERCIAL CREDIT PLANS.
I also want to pay tribute to the men and
women of COMMERCIAL CREDTT-our original
group of five, three of whom are still with the
Company, and to the thousands who with their
hands and hearts and minds have and are still
carrying on for COMMERCIAL CREDIT. That we
have grown substantially and soundly is ample
proof that COMMERCIAL CREDIT men and women
have done and are doing their jobs well.
COMMERCIAL CREDIT is a perfect example of
what can be accomplished under our free enter
prise system with proper incentive 1t is gratifying
that one function of COMMERCIAL CREDIT, our
time payment plans, has enabled millions and
millions of American families to enjoy the new
and better products of American industrial genius.
am convinced that the average American COM
sumer is an honest, dependable business risk. He
is his own best credit man!
We pledge the continuing use of our funds and
the knowledge and ability we have accumulated
in 40 years to persevering in our objective Of
HELPING AMERICA BUY WHAT IT WANTS.

Why Grow Old?
Practice Routines .Dui|y

Igraph is full length. Then we
run into another group Of changes
One of the first things we notice
lis the difference in posture. If
you had poor posture in earlier
years the results in figure will
now be pronounced. Humans
have a tendency to droop as the
years pass. There may be a dow
Iager's hump, the head may pro-
trude forward, the shoulders may
be rounded. the head may have
settled down into the neck, the
spine may have shortened and
the abdominal muscles may have
become lax. All these small fac
tors add up to a big difference
between the current picture and
the gallant carriage of youth.
Add to this overweight, which
affects the contour of the face as
well as the silhouette. Good pos
ture is one thing we can take
down the years with us. It can
even be improved some after
maturity. although prevention and
Iearly correction are easier.

QUILTING INFORMATION.
MRS. G.. r.. Lnnhnnnl

A recent request from a reader
for information about quilting
brought a flood Of memories and
I felt I might be Of some help.
When I was a child, my family
lived in the. Ozark Mountains,
and quilting is probably the
major occupation Of Ozark
housewives.
My mother has made a num-
ber Of quilts and helped piece
the tops, and quilted one alone
when I was 16 years old. still
have that one. Our quilts were
made Of print and plain scraps
Of cotton material, lined with
muslin or the material from
large flour and sugar sacks. The
inner filling was sometimes cot
ton. but usually wool from our
own sheep.
All the work. both piecing the
top and quilting. was done by
hand. The women Of the neigh
borhood would have quilting
"bees" and all work on one
quilt. This not only made the
work go faster: it provided a
source Of entertainment as well.
Any one who can sew can make
a quilt. An attachment for a
sewing machine makes it pos
sible to quilt by machine and re-
quires less time. The top can
be appliqued or pieced, and some
patterns can be made on the
sewing machine.
The patterns and instruc-
tions can be obtained from the
Stearns & Foster Co., Quilt De-
partment, Lockland Is, Cincin-
natl, Ohio. This company also
has a blueprint for making a
quilting frame. II your husband
is handy with tools. Or the mail
order house with the initials 8
and r has the frame in its cata-
1ogue.
If the quilting is done on a
sewing machine, the frame is
unnecessary, and the top, lining
and bait are basted together be-
fore quilting. If the quilt is to
be used as q spread. you will
probably use a cotton bait as the
filler. A wool quilt makes a good
. substitute for a wool blanket,
and must be washed with the
same care to prevent shrinkage.
After writing all about quilts,
I've decided to make another
one myself as soon as I've
finished hooking a rug.

Board of Trade
Continued from Page u

NOOilClnueu from rage
or finally kill organized promotion
of Rockville or years to come"
The action plan, formulated by
the old Chambers board of direc-
tors for presentation, included en-
ployment of an executive director;
rental of adequate office space; an
Immediate, intensified membership
drive; a determination to make
Rockville the marketing center of
the County, and a $4,000 budget
for the first year of operation. The
budget will be raised by graduated
contributions from business firms
and professional people in Rock
vile.
Mr.. Kelly said both effort and
results are dependent upon the
budget being pledged within 48
hours. He said he would decline
to serve unless the amount agreed
upon was raised.
Guest speaker was Charles Kope-
land of Kopeland Associates, Sill
yer Spring, who described the work
done by the Silver Spring Board
of Trade. He told the group there
is golden opportunity in Rockville
and with proper promotion you can
go ahead" He said he believed the
business potential of the County
seat is "the hottest thing around
outside Of Silver Spring" Re pre-
dicted if the Board goes ahead,
from now will be a huge city"
Those who attended the meeting
were unanimous in the assertion
that the meeting was the largest
and most enthusiastic of its kind
ever attempted in Rockville.

Inquiry Club
Entertained
This Week

Mrs. Hugh Thompson was host
ess to the Inquiry Club at the
November meeting, at her home on
Wall Street. Since it was Armistice
Day, the Salute to the Flag was
given with more than ordinary pa
triotic sentiment.
Plans were made for the Christ
mas party to be held in December
at the home of Miss Lucy Smith,
at which time presents are wrap
ped for shut-ins, children who be-
long to no one in particular, de-
pendent aged, and sick-bed neigh
bors.
Donations of various sums were
authorized to be sent to the Mental
Hygiene Society of Maryland, Inc.
at Baltimore; the purchase of a
Christmas Seal Bond for the Mont
gomery County tuberculosis Asso-
citation and the usual Christmas
Opportunities.
Since this was Hospital Dona-
ton night, a donation of $40 was
authorized to be sent to the Mont
gomery County General Hospital
for the purchase of cases of canned
goods. Mrs. Hugh Thompson and
Mrs. Bradford Headley, who repre-
sent the Club on the Hospital
Board, gave joint reports on the
meetings they have attended. They
made a special point of urging all
members to attend the annual Tea
to be held on December 6. At least
two carloads of members of the
Inquiry Club will attend the Tea
in a body.
Mrs. Ralph Ripley, who is pres
emily sojourning in Florida, was
unanimously elected to member
ship, and the names of two pro-
spective members will be presented
at the next meeting.
At the conclusion of business,
the meeting was turned over to
Miss Edna Hauke, who presented
a travelegue on her recent trip to
Europe. She illustrated her talk
with lantern slides of beautiful
colored pictures she obtained in
the various countries she visited,
which were exceedingly interesting.
The December meeting will be
held on the Is instead of the 8

Rural Rehabilitation Corporation, a non profit and benevolent cor poration, for an Industrial site for the Colony town of Palmer. An additional 40 acres was ob- tained from Roland Snodgrass, for the original Loken homestead, and 133 acres from M. D. Snod- grass, from the original home stead of Ed Duncklee. The Ro- land Snodgrass acreage was pric- ed at $25.00 per acre-about 20 acres was cut over land, the bal ance was virgin timber suitable for Park and for windbreak for the town. The price was reduced to $12.50 per acre. The 133 acre tract from M. D. Snodgrass in- cluded all of that portion of the Ed Dunckle quarter lying east of the Alaska Railroad. It was pur- chased under option agreement for use as a Community Center under date of April 4, 1885, and ammended on the 4th day of May, 1885, whereby my entire farm was to be made available at the price for which 1 had actually paid the Duncklees. This was de- manded by the Agent of the AL aska Rural Rehabilitation Cor poration under treat that the To- cation of the Palmer toWnsite would be moved two miles south west upon orders from Washing ton, DC. The original option price was $7.O0 per acre for 100 acres of the east portion of the farm
 I signed the April 9th option freely and without reservation
 as I realized the land would be of real value and use to tn cor poration and to the community al large. Visions of schools, churches colleges, air port, fair grounds and a farmers cooperative would be here in the Matanuska Valley and in safe hands for all time. To be Continued
