North Fourth street, does the snme on I
the south side. Both had stands be
tween Tenth nnd Eleventh streets.
Business was dull on the north side

mnny. so Brown crossed over on Paper's
territory. Popcr obeeted. An argu
ment followed, whereupon n bunch of
daffodils was hurled directly into the
face of oue contestant. A bunch of
violetB wns returned by way of con
geniality. Bunches of flowers flew thick nnd
fast. A crowfl gathered and there was
n wild scramble for the blooms. The
pavement was littered.
In the midst of it Mil:ly appeared
and picked up n bunch of daffodils which
every one seemed to have missed. "My,
what beautiful flowers." she exclaimed
nnd. putting them in her waist, took
one look at the contestants and walked
on.
Meanwhile Brown, it is alleged, used
his fists on Popcr. A traffic patrolman
interfered nnd both were arrested. To

The Gordian Knot
of business
The Phrygians needed a king. They were instructed by
the oracle at Delphi to choose the first person they met riding
. on an ox-cart towards the temple of Zeus.
They did. It was Gordius, a poor peasant. He after
wards dedicated his cart and 'yoke to Zeus, and tied the
knot so skillfully that the oracle declared that whoever
should unloose it would be ruler over all Asia.
Then came Alexander the Great and cut the knot in two
with his sword. Very simple
The Gordian Knot of business is filing. Some men, even
today, put up with a mediocre filing system simply because
they imagine noone can untie the difficulties that beset them.
And then, all at once, comes the clear sharp sword of
twentieth century progress and cleaves the way to greater
efficiency. It is all very simple when you go about it in
the right way; r
The L. B. Automatic Index is one way of doing it right. It is the
quickest, most accurate, and the most practical method of filing and finding
ever devised.
You are not experimenting when you come to Library Bureau for the
untying of the knots of filing. Forty-three years experience have given us
the practical know-how that means bo much in these days of readjustment.
