W. Guthrie, a draftsman Frisco Employe in the mechanical department, Spring- field, Mo. Mr. Guthrie is also the owner. # As will be seen from the floor plans, this is a two-family apartment house, with quarters for janitor in basement. It is of frame construc- tion with covering of "Bishopric" stucco on "National Steel Fabric" base, in a sand float finish. Each apartment is equipped with all the latest features of the modern efficiency type home, including com- plete built-in cabinets in kitchen. built-in ironing board, built-in ice box with outside icing door, package re- ceiver, and garbage incinerator. The living room has a Murphy door bed as ah auxiliary sleeping facility and dressing closet is equipped with built- in wardrobes with mirror doors. The apartments are finished in glossy ivory enamel with full panel doors in natural gum. Oak floors throughout. It is heated with hot water plant and the plumbing is complete and of the best grade fixtures. The building is built on a 50x175 foot lot and faces east. A two-car garage of similar design is seen in the accompanying photo. The apartment is one of the most complete in the city of Springfield. Mr. Guthrie has planned and super- vised its construction, and the picture does not do full credit to the struc- ture, as it was taken in the winter time, when the awnings were down and the background of trees and grass adds much to beautifying the place. Right You Are, Cloud To all intents and purposes, Mis- souri's first all-weather cross-state highway known as No. 2, is now in service. Within two days after the opening of this road from Kan- sas City to St. Louis, a motor bus company, operating machines to carry 21 passengers, began making daily runs in direct competition with the railroads. The railroads provide and keep up their own right-of-way, companies such as these bus companies take charge of a right-of-way for which the tax-paying public, including the railroad companies, pays. It does not seem hardly a fair deal to either the public or the railroads. It has long been a l~opulardiver- sion to cuss and discuss the rail- roads and "put the buzzer on them" at every opportunity, yet there must be a limit. It is be- hooving to public welfare that the railroads continue to operate and we all know fairly well that they are not wallowing .in riches. But they cannot operate if the gasoline busses and the gasoline freight trucks, using roads built by the public, continue to cut their throats.-The Pleasant Hill Times.

N the first place, there never has been an overall better than the new Signal, and I there are mighty few of them that come anywhere near being as good. You can buy overalls at all kinds of prices-but you're not making any money buying cheap ones. We know, and we have Government tests to prove that Signal overalls are made of the best denim on the market. Men who wear Signals know they get their money's worth and then some. Now here's something- we've done to give you even greater service from Signals. FREE Repair parts A burn, a drop of acid, a jagged piece of iron, or a nail might put your overalls on the sick list. There's more "stuff" in a pair of Signals than in your $50 or $60 suit of clothes-but accidents will happen. Now you can go to your dealer and get Signal TubTest patches, buttons, slides, any- thing needed to put your overalls in first-class shape-and these repair parts are absolutely free. No charge and no obligation whatever. Your dealer and ourselves are interested only in giving you the greatest service and wear, and the most for your money you ever heard of.

If the salaried NASH employe worked for board and clothes he would be "selling merchandise" at a loss, for he would have nothing with which to provide necessities and for his family. He would likely be found going out at night to hold someone up in order to provide sustenance for his family. You may rest assured when a merchant sells a part of his merchandise at cost, and you keep trading there, you are going to get held up somewhere on some AJAX item, for the merchant must have a profit on his wares if he stays "put".
