orate cost, and, with suffllcient skill, one might buy enough old parts to build an entire car to order at a low cost. Story of Career The variety and value of the merchandise offered by the Capitol Auto Parts and Tire Company are of interest to any automobile but the career of the proprietor, Morris Marcus, is even more interesting. In 1912 Marcus, then a young man, came to Indianapolis from Russia and went to work as a laborer in one of the packing plants for a salary of 12 cents an hour. How he managed to live on this and save money is a matter worthy of the consideration of a financier, but he did. nevertheless —not only lived but married. Little by little, the young man’s savings grow, and in 1916 he reached that point in his business ventures where he was able to purchase three used tires and hang them out In front of the little frame house adjoining his present storeroom. Square Deal “When I hung out those tires,” Marcus said, speaking of the beginnings from wheih his business has grown, "my wife said to me, ’Wouldn’t It be fine if we could have money enough to buy twenty old tires to sell?’ And, by and by, we did have that much money, and I bought more tires, and still more, until I had such a business that it filled the brick building and four yards. The brick building I now own, and the business keeps on growing. So I am convinced that the business methods of my company are good, for If a customer comes to my place once he Is store to come back. I give him a square deal and good value for his money, and he appreciates that.” Shooting Held Accidental Bu United Preet ROCKPORT. Ind., Majrh 17.—Funeral arrangements are being made today for John Swoeppe, 56, whose body found with a gunshot wound Monday In a woods near his -home, fifteen miles west of here.

HOUSE PAINTING MADE EASY BY CASH f ERMS Local Decorator Originates Installment Plan for Annual Clean-up.

Just about this time of ti. year many Indianapolis home owners take a look at the family residence, and, with a regretful sigh, say: “The old hoqse needs a coat or two of paint this spring! Even one coat of cream color or a clean fresh gray would make It look like anew place. If we had it all paid for and weren’t paying for the flivver and buying that new furniture, we’d sure have it done! Why, It would add twice what it cost to the value of the place in case vys wanted to sell it, not to mention the Improvement it would make in the neighborhood, ffs too bad that it takes so much cash all in a lump to have a house painted!” No Secriflce Necessary And thgt’s just ths reason Bert Nash, 915 N. Keystone Ave.. painter and interior deqorator, thought out a plan whereby\ocal persons who want to be proud of their homes could have anew coat of paint put on the old house or some new wallpaper on the smoke-stained and timediscolored walls Inside without it being necessary to sell the car or put another mortgage on the bouse. "I got to thinking It over,” said Nash, “and the more I thought the better the idea seemed. Folks buy things on payments and there’s not many who have cash on hand to pay for house painting—especially after paying for last winter’s coal supply. So I do house-painting or interior decorating and the owner can pay for it like he pays rent. Only one-fifth of the entire cost Is to be paid down, the rest so much a month All the while you’re paying you have the pleasure In living in an attractive, new-looking home.” Plan Is Unique The unusual plan, according to Nash, is not followed by any other local decorator, but Is meeting with such approval that it will not be long before everyone will take advantage of the credit system of house-rejuvenating. Besides offering this method of payment Nash gives some valuable pointers on house painting. “It’s all a question of whether you want to keep your house looking

fresh and new all the time or whether your idea is Just to preserve the wood,” he said. "That determines whether you ought to use one coat of paint every two years or two coats .every six years. Two coats of good paint ought to keep a house in shape for that long, but it won't look as new as if it was given one coat every other year. Then, too, most people seem to prefer creamcolor or white or light gray paint. This soils pretty fast. A coat of fresh paint every other year, when these colors are used, la needed—especially in Indianapolis. “For the home owners who want a paint that will last long and look well, J'd recommend a medium or dark gray. That, color is prepared by mixing a little black coloring matter with white lead, and it. takes so little that the paint contains more pure white lead than there is in any other color.”
