The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1960-01-21

A Hardware bulletin, published
by j. NJ. Davis and Sons in De-
ccmbcr, 1903, over fifty-onc years
ago contains forty-eight pages of
interesting material to the lover
of history. The book was loaned
to The Republican office by Mrs.
Walter Harsh, of Hutton.
The booklet was designed pri-
marily to boost the sales of the
Davis Hardware, which it probably
did, but there were many other
items included in its pages
For instance there was an ar
ticle on the German Settlement
congregation of the Church of the
Brethren near Eglon, with a pic
ture of Moses Fike, Jeremiah Mil
Ter, ministers in second degree;
Aaron Fike, assistant elder; and
Jonas Fike, presiding elder at that
time.
There was a historical sketch by
j. NJ. Davis on the Glades coun-
try, a picture of the original Davis
homestead occupied by the fami-
ly in 1858, on the Promised Land
farm, a picture and story of Me-
shack Browning, the hunter, who
died in 1859
He lists James Cayton as among
the early settlers Of Oakland; Cole
man cambridge as the first colored
man settler in Oakland, who
came as a slave from Richmond,
Va, to Miss Otto Cullen. He was
set free by Miss Cullen and was
employed by Horace West, later
becoming coachman and dairyman
for William P. Totten. 1t had a
picture of Upton Bruce, hermit
who lived three miles south of
Oakland and died about 1902.
There was an article on plant
life of the county by j. F. Harmed.
who later wrote wild Flowers of
the Allcghenies," which had wide
distribution.

radiant in appearance, and
more eloquently expressive
than was Glendon Swarthout'S
novel on which it is based. It
takes the big screen and
brightly colored film really to
show the shining young per-
forming this strange tribal rite,
reveling in the southern sun
and the accelerated course in
the facts of life which this
festival represents.
AS a film, Where the Boys
Are" could not have fallen into
more tactful hands than those
Of its producer, Joe PaSternak.
Mr. PaSternak is both a man
OF taste and an appropriate
sympathy for those on the
quaking threshold of adult
hood. He knows precisely how
to tell a story of boys and girls
in terms Of boys and girls, in
stead of the bees and flowers.
He does it with both becoming
restraint and honesty in the
f1lm at the Capitol.
Descriptive adjectives for
the result must include beguil-
ing, amusing and that COM
pound one. bitter sweetness.
. =
OF all our relatively new folk
ways, this students spring
vacation jaunt to Fort Lauder
dale is one of the most piquant.
Mr.. Pasternak's picture
chooses to emphatic its comedy
aspects. These include the mass
rompS on the beach, the
soireeS in the beer and Jazz
joints, the congested living
based upon the relative poverty
Of the migrants, the resigned
good nature Of the police, and,
Of course. the web of romanceS.
Naturally. it is the latter, q
total Of three major relation
ships, from which the mass
elements Of the screenplay
must hang.
There are three kinds Of love
stories to be told in Where
the Boys Are" and Director
Henry Levin has smartly
chosen to underline the comic
one. This is the affair between
Paula PrentisS and Jim Hunter,
her problem being to find a lad
tall enough for her and one who
shares her notion of love as an
idyll. Jim meets the height
requirements perfectly but the
films comedy high point is
Paula'S constant necessity to
teach him about girls and
honor.

SIT Million on
Plant 0utIays

Sears. Roebuck & Co. plans
to spend SIT million on new
plant outlays this year and
expects sales will reach another
new peak. President Charles
H. Kellstadt reported here
yesterday.
Around $42 million also will
be spent on new leases, he said.
Addressing the Washington
Society of Investment Ana
lysts at an Occidental luncheon
Mr.. Kellstadt said bad weather
and a later Easter this year
kept February and March sales
below a year ago. but that
April sales should boost sales
for the first quarter of the
company's fiscal year above q
year ago.
Mr.. Kellstadt projected COM
pany growth to 1865 and pre-
dicted profit for that year of
$285 million or $3.76 a share on
rs million shares outstanding
This would be AZ per cent above
1859 per share earnings OF
1884 and would be an average
increase of 8 per cent for the
next five years.
Profit Margin Is 40 Per Cent
He said the company's profit
margin for 1859 was 40 per
cent of sales and the 1866
margin should be about the
same. He estimated 1859 sales
averaged $24.80 for every man,
woman and child in the Nation
and amounted to $3.50 per
square foot of company space,
The average per square foot
is the highest in the Nation
and compares with around 500
per square foot for depart
ment stores, he said.
Direct mail orders account
for around % per cent of sales,
The remainder comes from re-
tail stores and a large volume
Of telephone orders, he de-
clared.
Mr.. Kellstadt stressed his
company's excellent experience
with credit in raising sales to
$2,158,000,000 in 1859. During
the steel strike, collections were
the best and defaults the low
est in company history, he said.
M. Kellstad described growth
of the company's Savings and
Profit Sharing Pension Fund,
which had 144,049 members
owning 20,266, ,432 shares at the
end of 1859. The stock had a
market value Of $1,025,9 ,12O
and was 81 per cent of out
standing shares.
Describes Benefits
At retirement a Sears en-
ploye gets the equivalent of to-
tai earnings over his employ
ment span in cash and stock,
he said. The company pays 10
per cent of its profits before
dividends into the fund. Fund
benefits are limited to persons
making up to $4,000 a year.
In answer to question about
the unusual interest Sears takes
in community affairs, Mr.. Kell-
Stadt said executives are re-
quired to allocate a portion of
their time to the communities
in which they work. The COM
pany wants to cooperate in
community affairs as we'll as
make some money, he said.
I'VE believe healthy commu-
nifty is a good place to do
business"

of recession which might af-
feet his company'S expansion.
I'VE only know about the
last recession because We read
about it in the paper" he said.
Recession has to be complete
in this area before we begin to
feel it. We're dealing in neces-
sites.
1T wouldn't affect our ex-
pansion program unless it was
a terrific recession and every
body was hit" he concluded,
He also is unworried, he said,
about a price war in drugs.
I'VE will meet these prices
during such a period" he said.
But every businessman sooner
or later discovers, he added,
that there is no substitute
for profits" At that point,
prices return to normalcy, he
said.
Problems In Virginia
One matter is causing in
increasing concern among Drug
Fair executives, he admitted.
Virginia'S frightened "blue laws"
against most purchases on Sun
day may result in some re
organization" of business, he
said.
1t would be impractical, he
said, to rope off areas leading
to the drug department-which
would be allowed to remain
opener to cut down on fixed
expenses in the stores.
But If the situation is econo-
nomically unfeasible," he added.
we may have to shut down
somewhere"
He warned that Virginia may
be driving business into the
District where people can get
anything they want" In the
meantime, he said, the company
will be studying the situation
with care.
First Goal Was Doctor
Mr.. Elsberg is no stranger
to problems, but is credited by
his associates with an uncanny
ability to come out on top. A
Baltimorean, he was graduated
from the University of Mary
land with a degree in pharmacy
to become a doctor
Too young for that, he turned
to entertainment instead. serv-
ing for a time as a radio disc
Jockey. He also had his eye on
