Surveying ten years of corporate
activities, the National Industrial Con
ference ]^ard is surprised to find that
Big Business has become quite another
sort of thing than the Big Business
that was so mercilessly manhandled
by trust busters early in its career.
The secret of the change is that
Big Business has fallen into the hands
of the most capable men in the
country, and they realize that a square
deal is the best policy in the long run.
How quickly public opinion has re
sponded is seen in the general recog
nition that the larger corporations are
as a rule the most honestly and fairly
conducted.
Thus Big Business, from being re
garded as a menace, may be in the
way of becoming a public pet.—San
Francisco Chronicle.

WINTER IS SO CLOSE AT HAND THAT IT IS
TIME TO BE THINKING ABOUT KEEPING WARM
One of the first things you need is a
Heating Stove
Then with that you need some pipe and a coal shovel
and a coal hod. For the fire place a pair of andirons to
hold the wood up out of the ashes. To make wood a good
cross-cut saw is desirable. So is a Buck saw.
With the sweet potato ready to bake you begin to
figure out about a ’possum to go with the potatoes. Can’t
cut a ’possum tree without an axe, and if the axe is a good
one it may mean that you get the ’possum, while a poor
axe may let him get away. Good night for ’coons oc
casionally in this moonlight time. Want an axe to cut
a ’coon tree, too. And you want an axe to cut wood, for
a dull axe is an abomination when the fire is out. Axes
with handles, axes without handles, handles without
axes. Anything you need to help keep the home fires
burning.
Bedding and Bed Covering
After you have stayed by the fire as long as you like
you want a place where you can sleep warm. A shipment
of bed covering and bedding is coming in these days, and
you might as well be getting in your supplies so you will
have them on hand the next cool night.
What is the use to put off until January what you
might have the use of from now until spring? Get your
winter conveniences right now and be comfortable all
winter long.
^ If you need a new fiue before firing up we have the
brick and lime, and about everything else you will be
called on to secure now that frosty days have appeared.
And of course we have Winter Wearing Apparel for
Everybody.
