WASHED WIPERS IN GENERAL USE Modern Industry Realizes Necessity of Sanitary Devices. With the growing realization in business circles that cleanliness and modern sanitary ideas are of far more than sentimental interest and have a real Duslness value, the demand for devices that work for the health of employes and improvement of sanitary conditions in industrial plants is steadily growing. Ten years ago the idea of a sanitary yiper was so novel as to be looked upon askance by business men. Louis N. Grossman, president of the Sanitary Washed Wiper Company, says, but finally the realization has come in industrial plants that a sanitary wiper is a necessity and not an experiment, or a luxury. “Recently there has been an advance in the prices of raw materials used in these products." Mr. Gros.iman said, “and all indications point to further advances iucosts. Despite these factors the demand for products of this character increases steadily.’’

CRUDE PRINTING NOW OBSOLETE Only Most Skillful Work Satisfies Modern Readres. It has been a long Jump from Gut tenberg, with his first crude, clumsy printing device to the modern, completely equipped printing plant, prepared tc undertake any character of work from the printing of a circular to ornate color work of the most artistic character. “It requires -"'ill, knowledge of colors and good preas work to produce high grade color printing.” Roland Mellett, president of the Mellett Printing Company, said. “But we believe the sterner test in good printing comes when the printer la given a conglomeration of copy with a bunch of half tones, unre touched action pictures and other di verse matter, out of the entire mass of which he is expected to produce a book satisfying the most critical. Then comes the real test of the printer's art. Annual year books for colleges and schools are outstanding examples of this type of work.” Mr. Mellett say that one of the greatest advance* made in modern printing from the standpoint of its appeal to the eye of the reader has been the development of different type designs for different purposes. In the old days he says that a print shop had only a few designs of type which were used for all purposes. It was soon found, however. that a type perfectly adapted to one use would look entirely out of place and Incongruous whet used in another connection. Asa remit a multitude of types have sprung into existence, and although the cost of carrying a wide line in stock is great, the demands of the user of printing are such thrt any shop hoping to do a general printing business of high class can not hope to succeed unless its type stock is kept up.

OLD TRANSFER CART OBSOLETE Motor Trucks Replace Ancient Horse-Drawn Vehicles. W'ith the development of modern business a big change has come over the general ehnrarter of the transfer business. according to Max Kata of the Max Kntz Transfer nnd Storage Company. In the old days he says that anyone wanting a transfer wagon would be forced to wander around the streets until he saw some sort of a dilapidated vehicle hauled by a horse that looked as if it had come out of the ark. Then there would ensue an almost endless bickering about the price. “This is all changed now,” Mr. Kata said. ‘Business men, manufacturers and even individuals now insist that the transfer man give prompt service and conduct his affairs along business lines. Service is demanded in this line of business fully as much as in any other. Incidentally It is encouraging to find that there has been an -appreciable Increase lately in the volume of commercial hauling and a sligb'ly Increased demand for storage space. It looks to me as if business conditions. Judged from these things, are growing better slowly but surely. In fact we have been forced to add two new motor trucks to our own equipment.”

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1921.

KANSAS CITY MAKES WORK FOR CITIZENS (Continued From Page One.) sale and retail in Kansas City. Apparently they are going to acquaint the public regarding tbe present wastes. But they mean to get all the facts first and then make recommendation. They say workers are helplessly unless assistance comes from other sources and that wages cannot be reduced to a sane level until rents and retail costs are brought down to a proper basis. The corner store must receive earnest attention. Today it levies an excessive toll not because the corner store man gets an excessive profit, but because the system under which he operates is wasteful and there are too many stores and too much ‘overhead.” ARMOUR REPRESENTATIVE GIVES AN EXAMPLE.

Armour's representative said his com- i pany sold bacon at 22 cents a pound for which small retailers charged their customers tSO cents. It was the same with beef. The retail abomination • was one of their greatest Worries. So long as the people paid the ridiculous prices charged by small retailers be couldn't see any way to correct the evil. It hurt tbe packing business, reduced its volume of business and visited hardship on country. The packers had advertised their prices over and over again, but the mass of the public cling to the habit of buying from the dealer nearest to the home. The packers’ business was restricted by these high retail prices. Prospects this fall looked better but today the whole packing Industry was on a GO per cent basis. Mr. Jennings made a surprising statement as to tte retail lumber trade here Last year hie business bad been the largest In its h story, but this year, after a poor start la the first six months, it promised to beat last year’s record. Department store trade is larger In volume and smaller In money than last year. Mr. Dickey, whose business in Hay products is very large, said it was only on a -40 to 60 per cent bag's now, but had been noticeably better in the last sixty days, and he believed it was going to have a slow and steady improvement So it went through all the lines of business, nearly every one reported evidence of betterment. Some gentlemen declared conditions on the farm were better than generally supposed and they gave evidence to support their views. The bankers had rather eheefful statements to make. The same good condition as to savings deposits is evident here as elsewhere.

PROOF OF INDUSTRIAL IMPROVEMENT STRONG. Industrially the proof of Improvement is strong. The flour mills are working twenty-four hours a day. Seven days in the week. The American Sash A Door Company, has increased its force 120 men. A bag company has so much business il had to add 126 workers to its organizstion. Scores of small Industrial establishments have found need of more and mor labor. ins expansion of the flouring mill industry here Is remarkable. The output this year will be double that of 1920. July receipts of grain established a record for Kansas City. New industries are coming here. The Corn Products Company is building a 57.000,000 plxiit and will employ 1,100 hands. The National Cloak & Suit peopie have put in a branch here that employs 1,400 persons. Kansas City does a big oil business, midcontinent production thus far run 7 per cent greater than In 1920 although the price Is very much lower. Oil men declare they are making no money. Why they continue this remarkable production if statement Is true is not understandsble. It's easy and costs little to stop the flow of oil. Os all the businesses of size in the Kansas City territory only one is flat. That is of minerals such as lead, zinc, etc. As to others, they are doing quite well generally speaking and show signs of doing better.—Copy right, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

OPPONENTS WON BY GOOD PAVING Property Owners Often Become Supporters of Improvements They Fought. Property owners often vigorously oppose proposed street improvements that they could not be induced to give up once they are constructed, is the opinion of W. B. Morgan of the firm of J N. Morgan & Son, paving contractors. "Well paved streets are a vital necessity to the development of any city,” Mr. Morgan said. “But in many instances enraged citizens circulate and sign remonstances against some proposed improvement, fight is bitterly, and then if their fight proves fruitless and the street is improved, these same citizens wonder for years to come Just how they ever managed to get along without the Improvement In the old days. “X think it can be safely said that a vast majority of property owners are well pleased when a street adjoining their property has been paved. Prices of street paving are not excesive and despite the high freight rates prevailing at present there has been a reduction of about 20 per cent from the price* of a year ago.” Mr. Morgan says that paving contractors are making preparations for an active period of business as large volume of paving work Is being considered by the city. STAINED DESKS NO LONGER SEEN Modern Office Equipment Free From Old-Time Faults. In modern offices equipped with up-to-date furniture adapted to the rapid and efficient handling of business there is a noticeable absence of old fashioned, ink smeared, stained and blotched desks This, according to R. C. Hiller, president of the Hiller Office Supply Company is due to the appearance on the market of new desks in which all the old inconveniences have been done away. Instead of the old blotter, which after a brief period of freshness, became torn, worn and ink saturated, or the cumbersome, clumsy plate glass top so hard to the arms and hand and so liable to breakage. modern desks of the latest types are equipped with writing beds of specially prepared heavy green “lino" rubbed down to a fine even texture. This material has the comfortable softness of the blotter with none of Its lack of cleanliness, combined with the cleanliness of the plate glass cover without its eold harshness. The new covering Is impervious to moisture, ink or stains and is restful to the eye as it has no glare. In thiß same connection Mr. Hiller says there is a growing tendency toward the use of automatic pencils In large plants where efficiency ideas have been carefully worked out. He says that investigations have shown that on an average only two inches of a seven inch pencil are ordinarily used. The first Inch is whittled away in sharpening, the next two inches are used and the last four thrown away when the pencil becomes inconveniently short.
