Pa., April 22.—Leaving the home of his daughter, Mrs. Min nie R. Enger, with whom he lived, and telling her he was going out for "The Live Store" "Always Reliable" Making Business Better Every business man who reads this knows that the one thing he wants for his business is to make it better, it ought to be quite easy for you to understand how we feel, then, about our business and about our wanting to make it better Of course, we might not all agree on just what we mean by better Some mean one thing, and some mean another. As WE look at it, "better" business doesn't neces sarily mean larger sales, though that's the common idea We believe that sales do increase when a business gets better, but the sales are a result, not merely a measure of the "better." We have things to sell that men wear; we want to sell them, of course; we bought them to sell But we'd a lot rather have you come in because you want to buy these things, than to persuade you to come in and buy because we want to sell them We feel pretty sure that if we are careful enough about having the qualities in our merchanddise, and putting prices on it that insure you good value for your money, and then tell you the truth about what we have, and what it costs, we'll find that sales increase. You see the "bettering" of a business depends chiefly on the men "inside of the business"; and the INCREASE of sales de pends largely on the men outside of it lf we do our part right, there's no need to be anxious about your doing YOUR part —That's the way we want our business to get better; that's why we have so much to say about the merchandise we sell for it's as nearly right as it's possible to get. i Try This Dependable Hart Schaffner & Marx and Kuppenheimer Clothes "Manhattan Shirts" "Monito Hose" "Stetson Hats" * ' • 304 PA. a walk, Uriah Sourbeer, aged 87 years, the oldest native resident of Columbia, walked to the home of his brother, Charles Sourbeer, gave him a fow hundred dollars to keep for him and then walked down the Washington turnpike to a place near WI tower on the Pennsylvania rail road, and, turning, walked Into the APRIL 22, 1918 Susquehanna river and was drowned.
