In 1934 every member of the House must face the electorate once more. Main Republican trouble is lack of party discipline; as soon as a candidate is elected on the ~ Republican platform, he is apt to desert his party. Con- trasted with this, the Democrats are wonders in maintain- also being serdev with $00 products ing a unified front. It was the fashion last fall in certain conservative quarters to announce that Great Britain seemed to be re- ~ covering “without resort to drastic or novel measures.” At that time a dozen or more members of IT'S 0.

Sir Montagu Norman was making his second appraisal of President Roosevelt's recovery pro- 1 within the very brief interval of 3 months, as he told the board of directors of the bank of England on his return late in September. Like Sir Montagu, the M. P.’s said they were “surprised”, or ‘“exhilarated”, or “amazed.” They told the English press of having encountered over here un- ‘mistakable evidences of genuine trade revival. : The vogue died down, possibly because of other distrac- tions due to an inevitable reaction from the spurt started in July, but it has been revived in the ultra conservative press. Again there is a disposition to ignore the President’s deter- mination to aid industry by controlling recovery for a long time stability. And we are told that only orthodox mea- sures “such as England has applied” are necessary. But, as Walter Lippmann has stressed in the New York Herald Tribune, the example is “most misleading.” Great Britain has a relatively simple industrial economy compar- ed with the complex industrial and agricultural economy of he says, “it is necessary to take Great Britain, plus Canada and Australia”, and, even with South Africa and India in- cluded, there still is omitted an oil-producing country. “Imagine”, continues Lippmann, “the British Isles, Canada, * * The alibi market is looking up. _ find it difficult to make excuses for not working. * Professional loafers Grocery Firm 43 Years old |This Week Exciting Time For Food Buyers At American Stores The forty-third anniversary of the American Stores Company is béing celebrated throughout the organization in gala manner, with a gigantic birth- day party, featuring unusually attrac- tive values for every food buyer. For weeks the buyers and other de- partments in the company have been concentrating on the preparation for the great celebration. Every effort has been made to prepare all-the desirable features and have them ready to wel- come the customers to the biggest an- niversary celebration in the history of the business. This is really a party for the cus- tomers, although it marks the com- pany’s birthday. Throughout the en- tire system of stores many well-known quality foods are being featured and extra attractive values offered to mil- lions of home-Kkeepers with an invita- tion to come the festival and take home their share of the sparkling ar- ray that makes this a gala affair for every food budget, large or small Birthdays are exciting times, and all can join this marvelous celebration, as each department surpasses past per- {appetizing foods. Forty-three years of public service have also been forty-three years of high quality standards, fair dealings, courtesy and service. On these corner- stones—a solid foundation—the busi- ness has steadily progressed forward year after year. - The passing of each birthday has marked new improvements in the busi- ness, better methods of handling and selling foods, introduction of entirely new products and improvement in others. New methods of canning, pack- ing and transportation have resulted flavor in many of the products you buy Additions of stores, ware- houses, bakeries, trucks, mechanical departments and employes have ali added to the growth of the company, SO that it now serves thousands and ‘thousands of food buyers in Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary- ‘land, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, and the District of Columbia. Much money has been spent by the company in seeking ways to improve their products and services. A labora- tory is kept constantly busy analysing, testing, experimenting and finding out secrets hitherto undisclosed about foods and how they can be prepared. Very few food companies maintain as complete a manufacturing plant as the American Stores Company. In this up-to-date wonder place, they prepare many of their £SC0O and other rands of foods. Careful supervision of preparation in addition to the most strict care in selection of high quality ingredients, account for the wide popularity of these products. ~ | One of the parts of the high quali- ASCO Company is the kitchen and la- are offered for sale to the public. Folks Drove for Miles to First Store Back in the first years of the busi- ness when the first store was opened in 1891, on South Second Street, in Philadelphia, people drove in horse and wagon or buggy for miles to this store. News of the remarkable values obtain- able there traveled fast, even in those days of restricted communication, and the fame of this food purveyor grew as did the business grow year by vear. Some folks who were among the first customers of the budding company can still remember their first visit to the store, even though they have made thousands of visits since and are still customers. Children and grand-child- ren of the first-year customers are .today. Very few people have to travel any {lengthy distance today to reach an ASCO Store. These food centers are strategically located in the most con- venient spot to serve each neighbor- hood. A few blocks at the most, is usually all one need travel before see- ing the familiar yellow front and at- tractive windows. Newspapers Used Extensively Business during the past year has been vigorously supported by an ag- gressive newspaper advertising cam- paign. During the later -months. of 1933, dollar sales were substantially in advance of those during the same peri- od of 1982. A large part of this im- provement, as well as the remarkable steady business throughout the year, can be attributed to the constant use of widely circulated and read news- papers. These satisfactory results also re- flect an increase in the purchasing power of the buying public and a ris- ing demand for better quality foods that are repeatedly featured by the company. Over sixteen thousand employes are on the company's payroll. Wages paid to these employes are beneficial to the local communities by helping to sti- mulate business for other merchants and industries throughout the usual channels of family expenditures.

Modern Stores Help Food Buyers The former corner grocery has been supplanted by complete Food Center. The present practice of selling Fresh and Smoked Meats, Fish, Poultry, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables was first inaugurated by the larger grocery companies, of which the Ameican Stores is one of the leaders. This in- troduction of Meats and Produce into grocery stores resulted in saving much shopping time for the food buyers.

JUST HUMANS > Al Sands of Time, “A dream I've had” | WILE Na LITTLE AMERICA Dangerous Plans! ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAG SHIP, JACOB RUPPER'T: Jan. 14 (via Mackay Radio). Ice, water or air. It’s all the same to Admiral Byrd! I mean that no matter what conditions the elements confront us with, the Admiral has a way of combatting them. Take last Thursday, for example. Up against an almgst solid wall of closely packed ice sheets and not knowing whether there was open water beyond to which we might force this steel ship, without dam- aging her plates in our quest for a rear water door to Little America, Admiral Byrd decided to find out— by the air. And he certainly did just that thing! At 3:30 In the morning of Janu- ary 11th, he and June, Bowlin and Peterson, took oft in the Condor, in perfect sunshiny weather, trom Capt. Allan Innes-l.at. 69.50 South Taylor, Our Dog Long. 162.21 West Expert and flew for two hours to Lat. 71.45 South and re turn. Part of the time they were up 7,000 feet, scanning the horizon fifty miles away. And what they saw decided the Admiral in his plans and sent them scurrying back to the Jacob Ruppert. As far as they could see to the South there was ice, ice, ice, getting heavier and thicker all the time. No back door there so we must continue skirting the pack the long way around to our future home—if it is still there when we arrive. Believe me, this whole proposition is getting more interesting, if that’s the word, every minute. The plane operated perfect- ly, as usual, and so did its fuel and ofl, despite the terrific changes in temperature they have to endure. So mark that flight down on your map in blue pencil. That's three now—Dec. 21, Jan. 8 and this one. When this flight started we were hot—40 degrees Fahrenheit. A few hours after the Condor returned, we were in the midst of a swirling snowstorm the Admiral had spotted from the .plane. when they were only 480 miles from Little America and we were bundled in our heavy coats. The Admiral reported: “1 saw no land. It is pretty safe to say that no land exists any near- er than the coastal fronts of King Edward VII and Marie Byrd Land. There may be, however, a few low AMER ATION 22d EXPLOBATIO Yr ANTARCTICA the Sorth vogg / 47 a islands, nothing more.

Well, Admiral Byrd's three flights along the 117th, 150th and 152nd meridians tell why it will never be discovered. It isnt there! ~ By the time you read this, the Admiral, with two or three com- panions, may have made one of the most dangerous flights in his- tory. He told me about this several months ago, as a secret. This trip will be to Little America. There they may settle down to wait until the Ruppert or the Bear, or both, can crush their way in. Or it is now possible that he may fly back to the Ruppert. At Little America they will study the terrifying ice ridges which Dr. Lincoln Ellsworth has reported to us as a possible ob- stacle to getting our supplies from | the ships to the base and perhaps do some exploring in the Condor or the big Ford trimotored plane, left there in 1930, which they tell us is all safe and snug—as yet!— with its big supply of. cached gas- oline. If they land anywhere except at Little America, with its three wood- en houses and its two 70-foot radio masts which Ellsworth says are still standing, the Second Byrd An arctic Expedition may spend its en- tire time searching for Admiral Byrd and his two or three fearless companions.
