Buttons, a favorite, are being outsold this yea: by small and large banners “suitable for automobile, office or home.’ Buttons, however, at five and 10 cents still are holding their own.

The Maver Rubber Stamp Co., which began jts sale several days after the Elwood homecoming, reports sales going three to two for F. D. R The tact and pleasant smiles of the clerks at the department stores {almost threw the poll forsa loss. Counter displays at Ayres, Blocks, and Wassons are a masterpiece in not showing partiality. As soon as one Willkie or Roosevelt pin is purchased (one dollar is {the usual fee) another appears in its place. Questions on how fast they are selling are answered unanimously with “like hot cakes.” But repeated questions on which pin was selling the most brought only polite smiles.
