Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Edward Albee America's Leader in the World of Vaudeville (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 4 group of successful business men, born in foreign lands, were gathered at a dinner in New York, telling of their hardships and struggles as emigrant boys. It was an assembly of "srlf-starters." "Yon men forget that there are American boys who had their strug glcs and hardships on the road to success," interrupted one of the guests. ’ He then recited some of the incidents in the life of Edward F. Albee, now leader pre-eminent in American a inusements. "Here is a boy, born in Machias. Maine, in 185?, where lbby pry up (he snn in the morning, who has had struggles equal to those of emigrant lads. , He made his way to Boston in a sloop, a modern "Mayflower." to sebk fame and fortune.

Hear the orlol brown-thrasher And song-sparrow sweetly sing— If you have an ear for music,— But you never heard the spring! You can scent the sweet narcissus Catch the lilac’s fragrant breath; The odor of'Jheh apple trees. The box-alder’s pungent path. You can smell the fresh-plowed fields Every going-wind will bring Something that remind* of, —something.— But you never smelt the spring! You can feel the fishes nibble At your toes down in the brook; Feel a tug that likely tells you: “There’s a big one on your hook!"

Gasoline By the Pound In order that the general public may visualize gasoline prices in true perspective, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is endeavoring, in its advertising, to draw just comparisons with other staple and essential products. At today’s prices, if gasoline were sold by the pound, the price at service stations would be about 3Kc per pound. Compare this with sugar at 10c a pound; bread or milk at 8c per pound; butter at 45c and cheese at 60c per pound, and it is apparent at once that gasoline prices are low—especially so when the service rendered by gasoline is considered. The Standard Oil Company states, that with few exceptions, no other manufactured necessity is sold at as low a price as gasoline. This low price is maintained despite the hazards attending the production of ga* oline, and the vast amount of capital required to provide distribution facilities adequate to supply you with gasoline, when and where you want it. The Standard Oil Company through intensified organization and unceasing initiative, has been a potent factor in the maintenance of low gasoline prices. This Company endeavors to aymbdize that American spirit of dynamic leadership, which combines business initiative with scientific skill for service to the thirty million people of the Middk W < ‘ This comprehensive service enable the man in modest circumstances to his automobile at a fuel cost which he easily can afford. , Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Buildim* 910 So.
