N o Rationing of Courtesy at RICHMAN BROTHERS
Because things are now scarcer than buyers, is no reason why customers should not get the same friendly, helpful service as always. At least, that’s how we feel about it here at Richman Brothers. We've always believed a customer is entitled not only to his money's worth, but to sincere help in making a good selection and the best of care in fitting. Because of conditions beyond our control, our assortments may not be as big as in the past, “but we assure you our service, our manners
and our clothes are as good as ever.

And today the “Alpha” is in the Pacific war zone, while others are serving their bombardiers the world over, : The sonatruetion of the first sight in. a nine months period is ‘an achievement in itself, for even if an experienced hand were to assemble

It is comparatively easy to build two or three bombsights. To. get sizable production takes a terrific effort.” Building the sight is only half the job, he explained. “It took our army and navy nearly 10 years of organized sch , all before Pearl Harbor, to educate what was then believed to be a sufficient number of men to use and maintain the bombsights.” Today at the local plant 80 per cent of the personnel engaged in the manufacture of the sight never thought of being machinists. They served no apprenticeship, nor did they have years at the bench in practical experience. Before the plant opened here, 12 experienced men were brought from the east to begin training sessions for future employees. Carrying the knowledge of the fabulous sight fhey ‘became known as the “Twelve Apostles.” So precise is the manufacture of the death-dealing weapon that tolerances “in manufacture range only from 0 to tenths of thousandths, : The entire plant is air conditioned and temperature and humidity must be maintained at a constant level to obviate changes in. the metal.

{8th Army Massing for
Attack on Rommel’s - Newest Line. (Continued from Page One)’
about seven miles northeast of Kara-
choum.
A total of 600 more pilsoners, including 200 seized by the British at Mass Djebel Ang and 400 taken by the French at Djebel Sefsouf, was reported in today’s communique, running the grand total since the Mareth line offensive to more than 30,000. Total for the entire Tunisian campaign is about 35,000 prisoners. Of the 30,000 prisoners officially announced since the Mareth attack, about; 7000 were Germans and 23,000 Italians, The fact that the British captured mostly Germans at Mass Djebel Ang, however, indicated that Rommel had completed the withdrawal of his best forces and was starting his last-ditch stand in defense of Bizerte and Tunis with crack German units. *
Believe Few to Be Evacuated
Montgomery's 8th army was massing along the Enfidaville line, about 50 miles south of Tunis, for an assault on the enemy’s strong positions which extend almost due west from tie coast about 35 miles to a range of hills running northeast to southwest The French hold these hills and are advancing slowly over rough terrain and deep gullies. From the French-held ranges, the axis line runs in zig-zag fashion northward, passing such points as
‘| Bou Arada, Medjez El Bab, Sidi
Nsir, and thence east of Sedjenane and Cap Serrat to the Mediterranean. All available. information still indicated Rommel planned to fight to the end in this strongly fortified sector, attempting to evacuate only a small number of specialists and other units. — aC :
