EDITORIAL LOOKING TOWARD WASHINGTON Here is a true story. A young man had been employed for several years in a wholesale house. Last year they were not in the red, but the black ink was not particularly predominant. One morning recently the young man said to the boss, “You remember that when you first started this business several years ago, you and I both went out and hustled for business and got it. When business was coming good, we got lazy and quit stirring up business. Now I think we ought to go back to the plan we started out with. Let’s not wait for Washing- ton to help us, but go out and hus- tle and help ourselves.” Pretty good advice a young man. It is our honest opinion that when we individually hustle and improve business, it will be quite a bit better. = coming from AVERAGE TAX ON AUTOS Motorists of the country paid $1,- 088,000,000 in special motor taxes in 1932, an increase of 9 per cent as compared to 1930, in the face of a decline in the same period of some 2,500,000 registered vehicles and curtailed uses of those in oper- ation. Highway users paid $1,015,000,- 000 in state, county and municipal motor levies during the year 1932 and approximately $73,000,000 in Special Federal excise taxes under the Revenue Act of 193p. This tax burden represents an average tax of $44.82 on every mo- tor vehicle in the country and an increase in the average tax of 18.8 percent since 1930. In some sec- tions, gas taxes now amount to a one hundred percent tax on the wholesale price of the commodity. Every time our lawmakers want a little extra money for something they tax the poor car owner. There may be such a thing as killing the goose that laid the golden egg. HERE COMES THE BOY!

But that is not the case. Workers may be divided into two classes—those who work with their heads and those who do not. The latter sit back and wait for ideas—they do just what they are told—nothing more — opportunities rushing past them mean nothing in their young lives—the tragedy of it is that the lives do not stay young—they get old and just stick. Having an open mind is a good thing—and it is really compara- tively rare. If you are an employer you will agree at once. All over the country men and women run- ning businesses are crying out for workers—not geniuses—just work- ers who will use their heads—do things without being told—keep the machinery in their brains working. If you are an employee you will not agree—at first—but take for granted that it is the truth and see how often you ask about things which should be apparent to you— how you miss opportunities to say or do the right thing—how you just sit back and “le: George do it.” We live this life once—let’s get out of it all we can.

New Chevy On Display Tomorrow Chevrolet's new entry in the auto- mobile market-“The Standard” Six- goes on public display tomorrow at dealer showrooms the country over Featuring aer-stream styling, the car resembles in external appearance its companion series. Three body types are offered—coach, coupe and coupe with rumble seat, all with Bodies by Fisher and all featuring the new Fish- er no-draft ventilation system. Powered by a value-in-head six cylinder engine, the new motor de- velops sixty horse power at 3,000 R. P. M, and is said to have a top speed of 65 to 70 miles per hour. It is of the same basic design as the six first in- troduced by Chevrolet in 1928 and now used in the Master series. While certain features are identical with the Master series, a company statement emphasizes that the new Standard Chevrolet is an entirely new car, and not a smaller version of the Master nor a resurrection of an older model. It is the result of two years of development work, the company states, and is a companion car to the Master series designed primarily to consolidate Chevrolet in its position of leadership in the industry, which it has held four years out of the past six, by opening up to it that market repre- sented by people who want lowest first cost and operating costs. The new Standard six, the company claims, will deliver more miles per gallon of gaso- line than any other full size car now on the market, and is ideally adapted to the needs of the fleet user and the commercial traveler. By announcement day upwards of 15,000 of the new models were sched- Rhymed Want-Ad Ends Search For First Woman Ad-Writer (Left) Miss Minny Hanff in 1902, when she was America’s pioneer woman copy- writer; (center) Sunny Jim, her most famous creation; (right) Miss Hanff, now Mrs. M.

The cars are being built, just as the Master series, in the company’s twenty domestic manufacturing and as- sembly plants, and all cars bearing the Chevrolet name are built of the same materials, to the same precision limits, on the same manufacturing and as- sembly lines and by the same fine craftsmen. Prominent in the features of the Standard Chevrolet are skirted fenders | front and rear, which conceal all under | parts of the car, safety plate glass in | the windshield, finger tip seat control, | the new outward flare of the rear panel | to control the gasoline tank and other under parts, stabilized front end mounting, new transmission with non- clashing gears and silent second, down- draft carburetion, and new octane se- Ilector first introduced by Chevrolet, counter balanced crankshaft, and many | other modern car features.

One noticeable depar- ture is on the hood, where the slanting doors of the big car are represented on the Standard series with louvres—eigh- teen on each side symmetrically group- ed.

COOOCOU NC WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15th, 1938 Catch— Them Before They Climb ... PRICES today are below “sea-level”, if we may be permit- ted to use the phrase as a simile for par. They’re actually “sub” pric- es in the sense that many commod- dities, and principally the necessities of life, are being sold below cost of production, or at least be- low the cost at which merchants, manufacturers and wage-earners can continue to produce them and maintain normal standards of living. What, then, is the inevitable result? Prices must come “up for air” ...national and individual prosperity demands it and the upturn is immediately in the offing. Today’s prices are depress- : ion prices. They can only be com- pared with prices during other periods of depres- sion of past years... .they cannot remain in this country any more than depression can continue ina country so basically prosperous in resources, in en- terprise, in wealth, in commercial and industrial leadership. These are conditions which will, and are already, adjusted them- selves. . .by inevitable laws of economics, We've reached the low... and at the low is the time to buy. With Food, Clothing, Furniture and almost every- thing else at the lowest prices in 15 years; with the purchasing power of your dollar greater today by 40% to 100% than at any time since the war sure- ly it’s time to stock up. . .even to buy beyond your immediate needs because unless you buy now, or very soon, you’re surely going to pay more. ..when prices come ‘‘up for air.’’ BULLETIN MOUNT JOY, PA.
