Expansion and rf-ex!'n.tlon has been necessary and w her? more room rou'.d not b had innovations In the way of space economizing fixtures were rsorted to until traveling sa h-biueii say that the Hummond store is the bent or-.-:intzd of ,my in their territory. "Summers can always tell what h wonts and how much in less time than any drutft ist I visit." says on salesman. Recently w h-;ii fuller, .Morrison & Co.. territorial representatives of the l'athe phonoeaph. oaUed In their traveling, salesmen at & tn4Uel in hloa;o, Vera Summers sat at the speakers' table between two of the bit- pm.' of the Pa'hc company. They wanted him to explain how he had smashed all records In -11-ii: t talking niachlnes and he told them. 1-a.st April he took on the l'athe and in May he took first pls.ro in sales, lnce the-n he bus maintained the b-.l3 with monthly Bales steadily InrreasinU- !' Christmas Mr. Summers expects to have placed $25,000 worth of phonographs in the territory. Mr. Summers studio talking machines a iontr time before, lie selected the l'athe. His investigation showed it wa.3 tins oldest make, havtnp been on the market in Krance before the first ones appeared in America. The war liiiii re.i Its lntnduction ii.to the Vn!te,l state's, but U is tfidnif stronir now. Just a few days a,-o i beautiful $500 machine was sold for Christmas delivery and from the demand it would not be a surprise If some one insisted on taklnir tho $1,000 machine now on display on th main floor as It liaj; proven a wonderful drawing card. With the addition of the line of talkins machines more spaco mis necessary, which resulted In the acquiring of rooms on the second floor facing" on Stat st. I'art of these have been converted Into compact storage rooms in which are handily arrang-ej thousands of dollars worth of candie.s, cigars, patent medicines, toilet articles and other surplus stock. It has been the store's experience that the public of the Calumet region wants the very best and every effort centers about catering to that desire. In the lines of toilet articles, boxed stationery, fountain pens, candles, clfrars or whatnot only the recoirnlzed leaders are found. The demand for imported toilet preparations has been Insistent and the pharmacy has been grabbing each of the famous lines as fast as they have re'Peared on tho market follcwinsr the war. Advertising, hard work and careful attention tn the peleetlon of assistants seems to be the summary of Mr, Summers' success. At least, that Is the conclusion reached following a conversation tn which he has been ImiuriMi to talk upon the subject. He advertls lavishly and he Rets results. He works "elRht hours, twice a. day" In his own word., and he has unbounded faith In the people working for Mm. "I used to think." he says, "that I had to have a hand in everything from scrubbing the door up In order to have H done right, but I have found that anyone in my employ can do his own work better than I can do it. Since I learned that, things have gone easier for me and everything has been, done better."

MEASURES UP

(Measures, calculated to conserve Hammond's diminishing coal supply, will be worked out at u. meeting o;" the merchants and members t)f thp Chamber of Commerce whi.-.h will be he'd this evening at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. M.iV'T llrown has issued a Call to the merchants and President Wilson has called the members of the chamber to be present. TVhile 'he busines shousca of the city do not fate an Immediate shortage. It is thought best to take measure now

which may prevent any of the stores from belnjf closed entirely before the holidays. A limit will probably be set on the number of hours a store may remain open each day. Th:s must be agreed upon by all business men as It would be unfair for part to close early while u few others remained open picking ofT the business wlilcC would otherwise be going to their competitors. AVlth the supply of coal now on hand It is said that a number of IUiiuid nd s stores will be forced to close their doors before the holidays If they keep on using coal at the present rale. Mayor Brown sounds another warning to the householders and urges them to observe the strictest economy in the use of coal. "We are pretty well fix.d for coal in H immond if eierytw.dy wl I save every ounce of coal they can but unless they are careful there is goln-r

to be a lot of suffering before this big striko Is over. There is no te.ilng how long the strike will last and the only safe course Is to be as conservative as possible."

Any piano or phonograph dealer who will charge you $165.00 for any phonograph that he pays less than $65.00 for, just because he has a check on your knowledge of its real market value, is just as unscrupulous as the merchant of today, who sells a $16.00 ladies' cloak for $85.00, and in the opinion of the J. M. Wilcockson Music Co., should be sent to jail for life for profiteering. Do you know why a certain dealer in Hammond ca'Js us the sliding price piano dealer? The J. M. Wilcockson Masic Co. is not a corporation. While this company is the oldest and largest distributor of pianos and phonographs in Northern Indiana, it is in reality and commercially speaking, only a family mitation, owned by H&rnrnond natives. There positively is not a retail store of such magnitude in the U. S. doing one-third of the volume of business that we do, with half the overhead expense necessary to operate our store. Just a Common Sense Problem J. M. Wilcockson Masic Co. have the finest, largest and most up-to-date, if not the most artistic retail piano, phonograph and record store in the state and have the prestige of handling the finest pianos and phonographs that money can buy. Does it not stand to reason that a concern like this company operating tinder the overhead expense of about $250.00 per month can sell the same instruments at a much lower price than the house that pays $1,00.00? It is very true that J. M. Wilcockson Co. will cut the price on many of the instruments they sell. We think it the best policy to give the man with the cash a closer price than time buyers, because we would rather divide our profits with the customer than pay big, exorbitant prices for discounting the purchaser's contracts. When we get the cash, we buy more instruments, the manufacturers buy more materials, and thus the commercialized world is kept alert. If your neighbor tells you that she bought from J. M. Wilcockson Music Co. at $87.50 the same identical phonograph that you paid some other dealer $165.00 to $200.00 for, and she shows you the instrument, you will have to believe her, will you not?
