DRY GOODS MEN TO MEET JUNE 23 I Annual State Convention of ' Retail Dealers To Be ► Held June 23-24 > The Twelfth Annual Convention of the Indiana Retail Dry Goods Association and the "1925 Style and Merchandise Review" to be given on the opening night of the convention. TuesJ day, June 23rd. in the Riley room. Claypool hotely Indiana polls, will be by far 7 the most important convention and ' the most pretentious Style Show ever given b ythe association. Mr. Dan M Niblick, of Decatur, is president of Ihe associaton. The program of the two days convention is replete with talks and addresses on business topics directly 1 to retail dry goods and ready-to-wear ' trade and are given by men well ! versed in the subjects assigned them. The Open Forums which will be held throughout the entire two days will be conducted and, participated in by the merchants themselves, thus giv- , ing a splendid opportunty for merchants in these lines to gain information on store problems in which they are interested, from other merchants who have solved these problems. The convention will open with a complimentary luncheon given by Hib- • ben-Hollweg and the Havens-Geddes i companies, jobbing houses in Indian- i apolis. while the ladies attending the i convention will be entertained by a luncheon given by these same firms ; at the Woodstock Country club, fol- | lowing which a drive will be In charge of a committee of ladies from Indian- i apolis. , i The 1925 style and merchandise review will be given on the night of ■ Tuesday, June 23rd in the Rley room, i Claypool hotel by sixteen of the larg- i est manufacturers of ladies ready-to-wear in Chicago. This review will 1 embrace the very latest in fall and winter dresses and chats, displayed on ' living models, the models being i twelve young ladies of Butler Col- i lege; throughout the review a musical program will be rendered. All retail dry goods and ready-to-wear men in Indana are invited to attend the convention and Style Review to be held ins Indianapolis on Tuesday and Wedne*tsy.-dime 33rd and 24th. — . o ' - ' Work On Entrances To Comfort Stations Started Work has been started on the construction of outside entrances to the public comfort stations in the court house. The entrances are being made lon the south side of the building. H. F. Linn, local contractor, has the contract for making the improvement. —o _________ MRS. SUSAN MOSES, 96, QUAINT MIXTURE OF MODERN GIRL (Continued from Page One) the girls are wearing today. They’re indecent, 1 say. But I don't like them so long that they sweep the ground, the way 1 wore my skirts when I was a‘young woman. That may be more modest, but it is unsanitary. Why can’t the girls of to day wear them not too long and not too short." As for hair bobing this charming little old lady believes in it. “1 was brought up to beleve that woman’s crowning glory was her hair. And it is. if it is nice hair* But L'm glad . to see so many girls cut their hair.l If I didn’t think 1 was too old I'd cut l 1 mine now, it's coming out so much." ■ Mrs. Moses hasn’t been so we"; ['since Christmas, but she is able to 1 be about and do her housework. “I, ’ never was sick a day in my life until this winter. I had to live 96 years l to get the grip.” she said. "I never: had a doctor in my house since 1 ' have lived in Canton until last win- ' ter and 1 don’t think I would have' ' had one then if someone hadn't sent ' one. : Mrs. Moses saw Canton when it 5 ! was a little villiage. She drove with : her father and mother and two oth- : er children of the family from Som-1 to Carroll-po. to take charge of a 100-acre farnj which had been 5 given to her gaandfather by the c United States government. ) I “I was two years old then. I s I don’t remember anything about 0 Canton then, but I came here when 9 J was a few' years older to see the villiage. "It was a dirty little town then, c It is a dirty big town now”, was the way she sums up the city’s growth. “Things are moving too fast esc pecially automobiles. Until recently , I always walked to the market to. buy my vegetables. I c>n’t any-1 c more. My legs ate good yet and I c have plenty of strength for the walk, •

but I can't dodge iu and out among the automobiles. There's too much traffic". But when sbe’q in an automobile she feels differently about traffic, for the one thing she likes to do beat is to ride In motor cars. . "Movies? Oh yea I like them. I like to Bee the handsome men and the pretty girls. The only reason 1 don’t go more often is because ft is so hard to get to a mniovie theater." Mrs. Moses reads her daily newspaper and keeps well abreast of the times. Her eye sight is so good that she doesn’t wear glasses. As for memory it is as keen as if she were only half her age. Wild animals stalked through the woods of Carroll co when her father drove his team of four horses there, 94 years ago. When Mrs. Moses was a child she saw many a bear scampering through the woods near her home. The family brought their own furniture with them from Pennsylvania "You couldn’t buy a piece of furniture in Canton in those days", she said. "If we hadn’t brought it we wouldn't have had any." Do girls have a better time today than they had when Mrs. Moses was a girl? They do not she says. "I always had my own saddle horse and a number of us would take long rides. I remember one time there were 50 of us out horseback riding together. Husking bees may sound silly to girls nowadays, but they were a lot of fun and I think they were better for young folks than the things they do nowadays. "We always had such good times at home. Oour mother didn't believe in making us overwork just because we lived on a farm. The al ways got done someway and we had plenty of time to play.” Mrs. Moses was one of the first women in her community to get a divorce. That was 55 years ago and she must have been a 1925 type of woman then. “I married my husband believing he was a good man and found out he was a gambler,” she said “I knew 1 couldn’t live with him and 1 divorced him a year after I had married him. Moses is my maiden name, which the court restored to me when I got my divorce. "Remarry? Never. One time was enough for me. After my divorce I lived with my mother and speedily forgot my husband. He did seem like such a iinoauaii. though. He seven different languages and looked such a gentleman. But you have to marry a man to find him out. It didn't take me very long, either, to find out what kind of a man he was. “If more women who find themselves married to a -rrtan they can’t love or respect would go to the divorce court there would be fewer unhappy homes." “I have lived alone now for 37 years and 1 enjoy it. Nobody to interfere' with your life. I do things as I please cook as I please and like to eat the food 1 cook. 1 wash my own dishes and keep my little home neat, but I have plenty of time to- visit my friends. “You know, I’m a woman even if I am an old one, and we women do like to tAik. When the Lord made woman he surely gave her a -400.5e tongue. I'd rather talk than eat. "I hope I live a great many years more. I find life very interesting these days. But goodness, when do you suppose folks wi'l stop inventing things? With aeroplanes and automobiles and radios and everything else, I can't see where there is anything else to invent. I’m glad I was born nearly a century ago when this part of the country was a wiklernes. But I’m glad I I’m alive today when it is such a hubI bub of life”. -

Standard Oil Company wi • Methods Benefit Motorists THE Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is given to action rather than to talk; to work rather than to gesture; to dogged perseverance rather than to inspiration or mood. These habits of sticking directly to the job and getting results through concentrated application to the work in hand, benefit the motorists in several ways: First— By keeping down the selling price of gasoline. Second—By maintaining every product at a uniform high quality. Tiird—Hy keeping the supply of petroleum products equal to the most extraordinary demand. * Fourth—By keeping stocks of these products at convenient points throughout the territory served, so that any patron can secure what |ie needs without trouble or delay. The Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is responsible to its stockholders, to the public and to its employes for the thrifty and productive administration of tlie facilities in their care. Only hard, intelligent labor, persisted in over many years, can meet this responsibility. - ! This Company is a service organization, pledged to produce gasoline and oils at prices so low that everyone may use them. It regards business not as a game, but rather as a serious opportunity to serve. It believes that no spectacular gesture takes the place of zealous personal effort. Everyone in this organization works hard. From the Chairman of the Board, the President and other officers of the Company, to the office boy, the tank wagon drivers and service station attendants, every employe is concentrated on “delivering the goods” all day and every day. The most difficult undertakings are assumed willingly and with enthusiasm that customers may be served well and economically. “Lost motion” is taboo in every Standard Oil Company (Indiana) plant. Lost motion means lost dollars to the stockholders and higher prices to the consumer. This Company’s ideal of service demands that every activity be directed efficiently to accomplish a definite task. This constructive method of doing business is directly responsible for the success of this Company in holding down the price of gasoline, and enabling it to serve its customers well, everywhere and at all times.
