Conflicting Statements Made by Two Successful Workers The Failure of One Girl Reflects on the Whole of Her Sex SEVERAL days ago whllo attending a meeting I heard two women within tho space of nn hour express directly opposite opinions ns to tho status of tho woman. In business Ono declared that It was a mlstako to ImaRlno a woman could over tnko tho place of n. man; that her physical limita tions prevented her successful competi tion with men, but that sho mado a most valuable co-worker. Tho other woman stated with convic tion that sho did not believe women In natcly disqualified as a class for any kind of work whatsoever. Both of theso women wero acknowl edged successes In their respective voca tions. Tho first speaker was probably fifty years of ago, well-preserved, care fully groomed and suave. Tho other ono was a woman young and bubbling over with enthusiasm. And therein lay tho dlffcrcnco. This second woman counded tho note of tho now feministic generation: for her, ns for thousahds of girls lllco her, "there Is no such word as fall." Formerly In tho way eomo businesses wero conducted qulto patently a woman could not take tho placo of a man. Sho could hardly tnko a prospective client out for lunch or a drink, then talk over the business In hand over a pair of Havanna. But In tho modern, everyday rush of Hfo few men do business In thin way. After all, thero Is Just n3 much placo In any modern ofllco for a clever, cfflclont young woman as for tho samo typo of man.

Have you ever noticed the varying degrees of inducive argument set forth? You know advertisements have one great drawback the true ones and the false ones look just alike. There's advertising talk tliat, while technically truthful, is in effect miserably misleading. Then comes the trumpet roar of loud exaggeration skimming the skies for unreal values. Occasionally the braying fellow comes to the front, voicing a business that proves its worthlessness by quickly disappearing. These are the barnacles and parasites of trade. There are advertisers, though, that ring true because they have the truth to ring; and whose work is really helpful to the buying public. The proper selling of merchandise demands the truthful telling of it; and theire must be no "reductions" that do not reduce, and no "values' that are fictitiously inflated. As just an everyday-gocerv-buying reader, you know precisely where THE CHILDS ADVERTISING fits in; and if you've had the experience of dealing with us, you know that our methods are entirely devoid of anything pertaining to exaggeration; and because of this our business is growing in fame and favor from year to year. OUR COMMON-SENSE GROCERY SELLING is a practical education in household economy, and its helpfulness cannot be over rated.

We have keen interest in everything we sell ; and we see to it that everything, at all times, measures up to our invincible thirty-four-year-old standard of "QUALITY, QUANTITY AND PRICE."
