Susan Jane' Lease
I "SUSAN JANE GIFT SHOP"
THESE words painted in a vivid violet
on a soft blue background, startling
but not inharmonious, greeted young
Dr. Lester Clark when lie arrived at
Inst nt the objective of his long trip
to the East. They were on n largo
wooden sign Miut swung alongside the
door of his father's old office on Beverly
avenue, in his old home town of Spruce
hurst. I.erter Clark had not actually lived
in Sprucehurst for a decade or so. First
he had gone away to college and medi
cal school, uitli only vacations spent at
home. He recrhed lilt medical degree
In time to enter the army as n surgeon
nt the beginning of the war. His father,
nl.l Dr. Clnrk, had died while Lester
n In France, nn aunt had closed the
liiuiip. dlpoed of the furniture in
.forage or nt tlio second -hand Mores,
mil after the war Letter had not hur
ili'd honip again. Now he had at last
-(cured his discharge, nnd. though
uvcslty did not force It for his father
hm! left his only son a rather comfort
able fortune Lester wns determined to
go back to the old home town of Spruce-
Sena' for circular describing
an o"i closed first mortgage
bond due in ticcnty years, with
sinking fund, and a property
value of far in excess of mort
gage debt.

mtnnrtor Ilotrl
hurst to begin again whero his father
had left off.
The old house which had belonged
to Lester's mother and had, therefore,
been kindly willed to Lester's aunt was
tcnflntless, Lester hnd heard. He had
come back to Sprucehurst without visit
ing his aunt in the city, bent first on
buying the house through her agent and
then settling down at his father's old
stand.
Lester Clnrk stood looking rather
blnnkly nt the Susan Jane Gift Shop.
Just beyond the pile of gay wools he
caught sight of n neatly coifed chest
nut head. The head was bent as If Us
owner was Intent on flue work. Doubt
less, this was Susan Jane. ,
When Lester took time to think his
feeling of disappointment and annoy
ance with this Susan Jane person was
softened. It had all been a mistake.
The agent had let her In while waiting
for developments. He would simply
go to the ngent and Susan Jaue would
hnve to find new qunrtors. It wns his
office. It adjoined the old Clark resi
dence on Ilcverly avenue, which was
vacant.
So Lester Clnrk went to the office of
Qulek & Snell before taking time to
look up any of his old friends In Spruce
hurst. Sir. Qulek wns embarrassed.
Still he felt sure that within a day or
so matters could be ndjusted. Miss
.Innc Susan Jane would b told.
Doubtless sbo would see the situation
nnd would want to open her shop some
where else.
"But would It be a case of want to?"
ntked Lester. "That Is, of course, she
has no lease."
"There is some sort of lease," ad
mitted Mr. Quick. "That Is to say,
sou see Miss Jano rather Insisted ou
it. But she will see how things ore.
You sec, your aunt first told us to go
ahead and dispose of the place as we
could and then after receiving your
letter, Mr. Clark, she wrote In and
inld, 'Don't rent the house!' We sup
posed, of course, thnt she wanted to
occupy It herself. She didn't say any
thing about the office wing and so we
went nhcad."
It was later In the day that Mr.
Quick had called on Susan Jane and
received her firm refusal to vacate the
prcmlies, nnd after Lester hnd returned
to the renl estate office, thnt they looked
up the lense. It wns made out for three
yenrs. There seemed to he no elnuse
thnt might be used as a lccr to oust
the young storekeeper who had started
business in the doctor's office.
It was on Lester's third cnll that
first day, after they hnd read through
toe lease with the greatest (crutlny,
that Mr. Quick seemed to see a way
out.
"Of course." he said with a mild
smile on his face, "it isn't likely that
Susnn .lane will remain In business as
it were Indefinitely."
"In't she ranking it gn'"
"Thnt iin't it. She rc.illj f.crm; to
be doine very well. The noint is thnt
Miss Jane Is more than commonly at
tractive. I know of two I might sny
three young men who wouia marry
her tomorrow if she consented. I dare
say there are more. She is not of a
yielding nature. You might know that
from tho way sho stuck out about va
cating. It wouldn't be easy to per
suade her. Still "
''Are you still a bachelor, Mr.
Quick?"
Mr. Quick's confusion ns he admitted
that ho was led Lester to surmise that
ho was ono of tho three he had men
tioned a moment before.
"Well, go to It," laughed the young
doctor. "I'll give you a caso of silver
for a "wedding present only you must
not be many months about It."
It was Just ns Dr. Clark was about
to leave tho office that Quick called
him back. He was stroking his bald
head reflectively. "I was only going
to nsk you," he said, "whether you
were not also single. It might be, you
know, thot Miss Jane would prefer
medicine to real estate thirty years
to forty-five."
Lester iaughed. Storekeepers wore
not in his line, but he did not want to
give Quick offense by sa)lng so.
Still It was preposterous. Even if
she did hnve tho lease, what was a
lease compared to the fact that this
was his office that the memories and
associations of old Dr. Clark were all
connected with this little building?
Lester decided that he would try to
appeal to the sentiment of this un
yielding Susnn Jnne person If he could.
Susnn Jane proved disarming. Thero
was nothing the least aggressive or
stubborn in her appearance. She stood
before him as ho explained, her
shadowless blue ejes opened round,
looking strnlght Into his. They were
disconcerting, those eyes, nnd ns Susan
Jano stood there tho picture of trust
ful Innocence ho did not know whether
tho renl Susan Jane beneath was
laughing at him; whether sho was
about to yi eld to his request, or
whether she was really flirting with
him Just a" little. Tho effect was thnt
Lester Clark didn't carry out his er
rand Just ns he had planned It. when
ho had finished his explanation Susan
Jane laughed, a spontaneous, easy
laugh, like that of a child, and Lester
found that ho was laughing with her.
When he left ho shook hands, and
with a boldness unlike him, held the
hand nnd drew Busan Jano a step nearer
to him as he looked again Into the blue
eyes. "Be n good girl, now, and give
up the lease," Tie said.
"When are you coming again?" sho
asked.
"Tomorrow.' he said, and they both
laughed. He was almost out the door
ond turned hack. "I have heard that
you may :iue,to give up, anywny." he
said. "Mr. Quick Bays you will prob
ably get married."
"l'crhnps I slinll," said Susan Jana
hs she closed tho door after him.
Dr. Clark's courtship was a quick
one. His days were spent In pursuit
of Susan Jane, fathoming those eyes
nnd waiting for the intoxication of her
inugh, ond a: night after he was awuy
from her be used to steal time from
thinking of her to make plans about the
office when he had his sign in place of
tho violet and blue one. He proposed
within n week of his return to Spruce
hurst. Susan Jano accepted. The next
day ho gained her promise to be mar
ried within the month.
"Then the lease may bo destroyed,"
t
he said'. "I can go nhcad planning my
office. "
Susan Jano said no, She ncueven
ausan iano nnii uo( " j. ;
that women should have n .profession
as well as men. She would certainly
not give up her little store. Dr. Clark
could start his office In the main house.

WHILE Chicago is the fourth largest city in the
world, it is almost as simple as a village to
cover for distribution and check-up, and certainly
the least expensive of any city of this magnitude
to cover with advertising.
This is due to two factors: First, it is a city
that divides itself into natural zones. And second,
it is a city in which a single newspaper The Chi
cago Daily News reaches seven out of nine of tho
entire English reading population.
Perhaps the most dangerous lure to the na
tional advertiser lies in the fact that T,he Chicago
Market, which is Chicago itself, is the center of
so vast a population in the cities and towns in five
states surrounding Chicago, which are known as
"The Chicago Territory." There are sixteen mil
lion people in this so-called Chicago Territory,
scattered over a radius of about 400 miles, and all
very largely influenced by what is bought and sold
in The Chicago Market, proper, which is Chicago
itself. The advertiser is often urged to try to
secure the patronage of the whole sixteen million
people of The Chicago Territory before he has
secured the favor of the three million people in
"The Chicago Markee itself.
The result is like the result to the man whose
eye was bigger than his stomach.
Very few advertisers who thoroughly cover
The Chicago Market irsf ever fail to win the pat
ronage of the remaining thirteen million people
in The Chicago Territory. And very few adver
tisers who fail tocover The Chicago Market thor
oughly first ever get anywhere with these thirteen
million surrounding people.
Chicago is the Hub, both in population and in
influence. And it's the Hub that turns the Wheel
not the Wheel that turns the Hub,
Practically every dealer in all of the sur
rounding towns that go to make up the thirteen
million outside people of The Chicago Territory
either has an office, a representative or some con
nection in Chicago itself through which he knows
exactly what products are going over in Chicago
-and what are not.
If you have covered The Chicago Market
thoroughly and your product has found favor with
Chicago's three million people, you don't have to
worry about the dealers in that outside territory.
They are just as alive as you, and they will be
coming to you before you can get to them.
Now the only way to cover The Chicago Mar
ket itself is to concentrate all your advertising fire
on Chicago. Chicago's enormous population is
buying every day. And on every buying day The
Chicago Daily News is reaching seven out of nine
of them.
You couldn't have an easier, less expensive
city to cover, and there is no other city in the
world that can give you such enormous immediate
sales volume as well as territorial influence when
once you have thoroughly covered it.
So when you are ready for your middle west
ern sales activity, there are just two things to re
member: First, that you must thoroughly cover.
The Chicago Market proper, which is Chicago it
self, before you attempt to cover The Chicago
Territory, which is the 400-mile radius around
Chicago. And second, that in that Chicago Mar
ket proper any newspaper that reaches seven out
of nine of all the English reading population is not
a factor to be overlooked. And in Chicago that
newspaper is THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS.
