There Is a Satisfactory
Profit in Tireless
Industry
along well-defined lines by concen
tration of a clear mind and proper
salvage of tiine and care of health.
The wastages of the day that are
caused by callers who want only one
minute and take twenty, dreadful
losses of time by hunting for mis
placed books, by mislaid letters, by
listless reading of parts of news
papers not useful to yourself, by .
serving on Boards that grind up so
much more time necessary to trans
act the business then if proper pro
grams of the work to be done were
prepared in typewriting for each
member. '
"Do your work and go about your
business," would be a good line of
penmanship teaching in all schools.
Every minute of the day put to
use is a good gold scarf pin for any
man's four-in-hand neckwear.
Queen Elizabeth, too late, offered
half of her kingdom for an inch of

The Men on the Home
Front Must Have Done
Their Work Well
Victory, complete and unquestion
able, in a little more than a year from
the country's actual entry into the war
is no small tribute to their energy and
skill.
Undoubtedly America was the de
ciding factor, and America brought
about the decision in characteristically
quick and complete American fashion.
We are glad to think that from the in
ception of the great local war plants
we made a study of meeting the urgent
needs of the men on the home front.
Today we are better prepared than
ever 'to serve them and to serve all
other men needing new Winter clothes
with suits and overcoats, fashioned by
masters in the art, and made up by the
most skilled craftsmen in the clothing
business from warranted woolen fab
rics. They are intended for men who
want the substance of satisfaction, not
the appearance of it.
The suits are $28 to $65.
The overcoats $25 to $100.
