The city Is operating 700 bussos, motor trucks and taxicabs but they were only a drop in the bucket when it came to handling the enormous crowds. Hylan Ismes Appeal.

Public Service Commissioner Lewis Nixon, who was partly instrumental in ending tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike a littla more than a week ago, took a hand today.

The retiring merchant who possessest a "oh-I-guess-ril-wait-till-they-come-in" attitude towards the general public, gets badly fooled. CJ They just don't come in.

Cf The merchant who puts his foot ward who advertises bargains gets

cream of the trade. His store is prosperous looking, his clerks are busy. Cf Prosperity is his. q With a newspaper, whose circulation covers the district every night at his command, the merchant who doesn't advertise simply doesn't want business. q That's all there is to that. CJ You can't get away from that fact. Go where you will in Lake County or in any part of it, The Times goes every night. q The people in these days of high prices are looking for bargains. v
