•IF EVER I M TEMPTED"
Wo pause long enough to report that Richard Hensehen.
24. of Chicago wants to be finger-printed by the Department
of Justice and have his identifying prints on file.
This young man very sensibly observes that “if ever
I'm tempted to commit a crime, having my finger prints on
i eeord may deter me."
The chances are that Richard will not commit any
cime because a young man who is so clean-headed in for
tifying himself against yielding to sudden temptations is
not apt to go wrong. He is wise in putting the odds against
committing a successful crime because it does not pay and
1 he phsychological influence of the recorded fingerprints will
help him to “go straight”.
ft might be wise for some of the rest of us to follow his
example and set up defensive works against the assaults
of various types of temptation that constantly assail us. How
much wiser we would be if we followed this example in
whatever way might benefit and assist us in doing what
most people want to do, “live right.”—Exchange
RIDING FOR A FALL
Senator Huey Long, having been given a great deal of
rope, seems to be bent on doing the traditional thing with
it.
His latest exploit in striking at the father of one of those
Louisiana State university students who was expelled for
protesting the senator’s censorship of the university paper
is just naturally the sort of thing that does not appeal to
an Amercian’s sense of fair play.
Having the boy kicked out of college for speaking his
mind was bad enough. To bar the boy’s father from using
the New Orieans-Baton Rouge highway with his motor truck
service, as Senator Long did, is a great deal worse.
It is a direct blow at the man’s livelihood; in simple
words, it was a mean, despicable thing to do.
Stunts of that kind will hardly increase the senator’s
popularity.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
Want your home town to go ahead? Then take hold and
do a little pulling ahead yourself. Want your home town
business to keep your home people well employed; Then
give that business your lull support by buying your supplies
at home. Want your business to grow? Then better demon
strate to the public through advertising, that its good ser
vice deserves such growth.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite
Irving S. Florsheim, President of the Fdorsheim Shoe
Company, says:
It has always been our conviction that we should tell
the public of the outstanding merit of our merchandise
through advertising. To do otherwise is to deny a business
one of the strongest and surest selling forces. Experience
has proven, beyond a doubt, the wisdom of publicizing pro
ducts that people may know of them and their value and
worth.
“In the process of advertising, the newspaper has been
an invaluable ally of business. As a purveyor of news, lo
cal, national and international, the leading newspapers lend
themselves ideally as a carrier of advertising, the news of
products and merchandise.
“Important also in a valuation of newspaper advertising
is the fact that the press circulates deeply into the commun
ity it serves. In each issue of a paper are items so varied
in appeal that everyone can find something of interest. As
a result, everyone, to all practical purposes, reads a paper
and consequently, is exposed to the advertising published
in it.
“No institution can afford to ignore its operating costs,
of which advertising is one. To find that fine distinction be
tween extravagance and unwise economy is no small respon
sibility. It is worthy of more than passing comment, there
fore, to realize that newspaper advertising, by and large,
is one of the most economical of mediums.
“My words should not be construed as a defense of
newspapers or newspaper advertising. Neither needs de
tense—neither is on trial. Instead, I am only expressing
our opinion of both and our policy in regard to them.
“We and our thousands of dealers are large users of
newspaper space. For years we both have consistently told
the public of the quality and features of our merchandise,
believing that advertising in the press, backed by a pro
duct that lives up to every claim made for it, and that is
painstakingly manufactured and fairly priced, is a substan
tial factor in building our business to the position of the
augest manufacturer in the world making fine shoes ex
clusively.”
ONE ROAD TO RECOVERY
Has the typewriter industry led
the way out of Depression0 This
business long recognized as an excel
lent business barometer, has made
rapid strides to recovery as evidenc
ed by the recent report of the Roy
al Typewriter Company. Inc. Mr. A.
Polet, representative of the Royal
Typewriter Company, Inc. located at
Nome, says that the Company soldi
more typewriters in the United Stat
es during 1934 than ever before with
sales records broken in every sec
tion of the country.
He also mentions the fact that
more persons are being employed in
the Royal factory in Hartford, Conn,
than ever before with an 89% in
crease in man-working hours. These
increases can be attributed directly
to improved business throughout the
country.
Business recovery has placed add
ed pressure on all firms with the re
sult that old worn-out and obsolete
equipment had to be replaced to ef
ficiently handle the increase. This
has stimulated the replacement bus
iness for typewriters and it is con
stantly growing larger In view of
this fact, the Royal Typewriter Co.
confidently looks forward to 1935
sales reaching even higher levels.
A similar increase was noted in the
Portable Typewriter field, with Roy
al's Portable Division selling more
Royal Portables than ever before.
Christmas sales more than doubled
the best previous figures for a simi- i
lar period. This is proof of the fact ]
that the portable typwriter is win- (
ning a place in the home as a defin
ite utility because of its usefulness
to the entire family. This growing
sentiment will result in new fields
for portable sales.
