The letter sent out by Mr. Hose is
as follows:
Mr. J. Denny O'Neil,
Commissioner of Highways,
Pennsylvania. HarrisDurg, Pa.
Dear Sir:
Major W. H. Garrison, Jr.. in
command at the U. S- aviation
warehouse Middletown, Pa., to
day calls our attention to the
deplorable condition of what is
presumably a state highway in
Bower Swatara township, be
tween the boroughs of Hlgh
sfiire. Pa. and Middletown, Pa.
and also as to the condition of
certain portions of the highway
presumably within the boroughs
of Steelton, Highspire and Mid
dletown. <
The government has already
expended a large sum in connec
tion with the plant referred to,
and further expenditure is anti
cipated.
The operations at this plant
are extensive and daily increas
ing. and as Its name implies, is
of vital importance as a factor
in the government's operations
which involve much vehicular
freight and passertper travel over
the highway referred to, while
the general business of the in
dustrial places named Is also in
volved.
Large Industrial developments
are anticipated in the vicinity
of Middletown, and in view of
the facts presented, we join Ma
jor Garrison tn the urgent re
quest that these conditions re
ceive prompt and serious con
sideration at the hands of your
department.
We have taken the liberty of
sending a copy of this communi
cation to the Harrisburg Cham
ber of Commerce, and the bur
gesses of Steelton, Highspire ana
Middletown, since the welfare
and reputation of all these com
munities as well as that of the
state itself is involved.
For obvious reasons, we should
be glad to know the result of
your conclusions and as to what
action has been taken to remedy
the defect. . ..,
The recipients of this com
munication are most urgently
and respectfully requested to
give the subject very prompt and
serious consideration.
The co-operation of all should
result in such improved condi
tions as will satisfy the govern
ment as to our local highway
conditions.
Active interest in these mat
ters because of the pending cris
is. makes for patriotism.

Division Freight Agent.

The Common Mistake
About Prices
There's one mistake that's very commonly made by I
K many people when they go to buy merchandise; it's the mistake
that price really means anything, taken by itself. If you stop to consider that, you'll see at
a glance how foolish it is to buy anything simply because it's low priced.
I Take the matter of men's I
clothes for example. We have
suits here as low as sls and as high as S4O to SSO.
mjsßEk- 4 You can buy a suit at either of these prices, or at
I* 11 any price between, in one of the several
stores in Harrisburg. It's quite absurd for us to
\ expect you to come to us for clothes just because I
; n|H they're sls or S4O, or any other price; you can I
| match our prices almost anywhere. |
Honestly we don't want you f
fHS to come, nor expect you to come
\ / ' iSVI f° r any such superficial reason. We would like
wl /SPr-• I to have you come*here because of the spirit of
' fit MFtr IVB| I ♦"Service" we have; because your money—sls or
Mm' 111 $50 —is less important to us than Your Satisfac
, IfflH tion; because we care more about what YOU
|H get than what WE get, because whatever the
\ price you pay, we're going to see that you get
more value per dollar than you'll get anywhere
Tti< Hcwa!of luppwkatM * else Wtf want you to come HERE for your
