PRINTERS' INK IS SELLING TO BIG DEGREE National Printing Company, Recently Organized, Completely Equipped, There is no better way to appeal to the general public in order to put across the merchandizing of any saleable article than through the use cf printers’ ink, and this fact had given rise to a number of firms whose business it is to deal in high grade printing, engraving and other pro cesses of this cliaracter. The National Printing Company, 135 E, Market St., organized in IS9S. has i- -ntly 1,,-en reorganized with Harry - nagle and Ralph Rosnagle in charge.

It Is superior to the printing of a few years ago, simply lieeau.se the business man and the pub lie in general has begun to know and appreciate the value of a superior grade of printing. A high-class firm realizes that printing that goes out under their name must he of a quality that will do them credit.

Residential Construction Is Growing Very Rapidly

Some interesting statistics have been given by Herbert E. Hill, president of the Speedway Lumber Company, concerning the building conditions during the past several months. "For the last two years we have had unprecedented residential construction. Since 1907 there had been a general decline In building operations reaching the low point in November 1918, anti as a natural result the housing demand pyramided. It Is generally conceded that the United SAINS CURTAIL ~ LUMBER SUPPLY Market Is Stationary Now — Future Price Doubtful, It is the policy of the Indianapolis wholesale lumber companies to purchase lumber on a basis that is fait! to both the producer and consumer, according to Ross Hill of the Indian apolis Lumber Company. "We are making constant effort to buy lumber at a price that will stim ulate building and at the same time give a legitimate profit to the producer, and we feel that we are operating on such a basis just now. The margin is not high, but is consistently fair to all con. erned, a thing that is absolutely vital In all kinds of business operations. Equalization of the profit and burden as well is the thing that makes business good gen e rally. "There have been some advances made in the prices of lumber, but these have been largely absorbed by iho retail lumber yards, who are working on a much lower basis than is generally supposed. This lias been done In order to stimulate the build ing that is really needed to offset the curtailment that was mad a during tho years of the war and those Just afterward. Building is moving along In line shape: our business shows a rather remarkable Increase over the business done lasty,.-ar. It Is our policy to work In accord with the consumer as well as with tho producer. "In regard to our southern operations, wo can state that there has been ft considerable slowing up of operations due to physical conditions. Rain over a period of ninety days or more hits greatly < urtallod not only tho production of lumber but tho ship plug as well. Conditions made it im possible to load the lumber that was ready to send out. Orders have been very heavy with the southern mills j and they are very’ eager and anxious j to get out their delayed shipments. "The market In lumber is now sta tionary. Os course we can not pro j diet just what the condition will bo 1 In several months hence, but ns far as we are able to see the prices will be j maintained at their present basis foi a time at least. The person who con templates building hi the near future will make no mistake In buying lunil>er now.”

States required 650,000 houses each year before the war to care for the natural increase in population. Last year 659,585 buildings cost $2,555,867,939; during 1921, 528,940 buildings cost. $1,085,570,389; In 1920. 411,026 buildings cost $1,467,911,559; in 1919, i}90,585 buildings cost $1,293,921,441. "If the estimates' on shortage of housing in 1919 are correct (3,500,000 homes in the United States) that amount plus the progressive demand sineo that time, created by the natural increase In population less the amount constructed should justify the assumption that the necessities have not been cared for. nor will they be cared for during the next few years. “Last year the Speedway Lumber Company hung up a sales record of •">0 per cent over the preceding year, wlych up to that time had been the largest In our history. So far tills year this company has exceeded the sales record for the first three months of any preceding year by 11214 per cent, or more than doubled any previous record. We have had an unusually large amount of industrial anil farmer business during the past few months. We are prepared to care for business in outlying communities and receive considerable from those sources. Home building, as well as other kinds of building did not receive the discouragement usually - attendant upon the winter season, due to the open weather experienced throughout the whole winter." ELECTRICITY USED AS DISEASE CORE Local Institute Treats Bodily Ills With Current, Every so often public attention Is aroused to consideration of some innovation concerning the cure of any or all Ills to which the system is subjected. In the latter part of the last century’ great enthusiasm was dis played about hypnotism as a cure. Much was printed on the subject, and hypnotic courses „ere added to many universities. Today we are confronted by auto suggestion—merely seifhypnotism. Electricity has long been known to have a marked and direct effect upon The body, but Its proper application iias been a matter hard to solve. Direct current applications as first employed with the old galvanic battery were tuo violent, resulting In painful contraction of the muscles, and hence were successful only to a limited degree, but since the basic principle of electricity as applied to disease was correct, thinking minds kept at it until Nikoli Tesla Invented the coil which furnished the needful rc ntrol of tho current. To Tesla's invention have been added others until now electricity as applicable to the body Is one of the most welcome curative aids and has grown so Important as to hold a therapy of its own, Robert Willie ms of the Indianapolis Hydro and Electro Therapeutic Institute nt 717 19 People's Bank Building. will be glad to give any desired information about these treatments. The Staff of Life There is no other single article of food that Is as frequently placed on the table or takes as prominent a place In the average diet as bread. In some form or other It is served at practically every meal and many times bread Is tho chief article of the meal. Properly balanced with milk, butter, fruits, vegetables, both leafy and fleshy, eggs, cheese, or a little meat, bread may well form a considerable part of our dally food.

HIGH AUTO RATES ARE NECESSARY Insurance Man Tells of Difficulties Being Encountered "The public says rates on auton bilo eojlision insurance are too high. The insurance companies say they are too low. Both are right," according to H. H. Woodsmall of the H. H. Woodsniall Company, agent for the Union Insurance Company, which specializes on motor oar insurance. Collision insurance covers the loss sustained by the assured, having no relation to that inflicted. .It covers trees, cars and other objects, including railroad trains. “In the larger cities, the cost of collision insurance is nearly prOhobiilve," Woodsmall said. “The Increase m the number of cars in use adds to the possibility of an accident Joyriders aro responsible for a great number of claims. The cost of repairs is In excess of what it was a few yea is ago. “Collisions occur when the car is unattended. No one knows whom to call on for the cost of repairs and the Insurance company pays. The insurance companies have taken the stand that they do not wish to issue full coverage policies. Many prefer that tho asured will pay the first SSO or first SIOO of tho damage. The pre miums n. e correspondingly reduced. "An obstruction on the road which causes the breaking of a wheel or steering gear iaans expense to the insurance company. In fact, insurance men say that Collision insurance is expensive to the companies writing it. "Fire and theft insurance is expensive to car owner and insurance company. Yet when one analyzes the costs, one wonders that It Is not more. "Shortly after the war. a big loss in lire and theft insurance began. High prices of cars could not be maintained. Insurance companies had been issuing policies on cars up to the list price. The market slumped, prices were reduced." STORE YOUR COAL EARLY, IS ADVICE City Ice and Coal Company Prepared to Meet Orders, It will be advantageous for people to put In their supply of coal early this year, according to F. F. Fitch, general manager of the City Ice and Coal Company. “People have had so much trouble during the past year In getting coal when they wanted It, the kind of coal they wanted and In quantities commensurate with their needs, that the general public has begun to realize Ihe Immeasurable satisfaction gained from putting in their coal In the sum mer months. "Prices on eastern coal continue to be a little uncertain, not only does that condition exist, but we are not promised a full shipment, in truth the eastern mines say they will take our orders on a 75 per cent basis, filling them In full If possible. “It Is the policy of the City Ice and Coal Company to servo our oußtomers In every way to assure their protection against inconveniences In the coal situation; for that reason we are especially urging those people who can store coal during the summer months to do so.'A
