Hurley, of the Federal Trade Commission, speaking at New York, May 26, before the American Iron and Steel Institute, said: "Perhaps foremost among these important questions of business policy is the importance of knowing definitely your true costs of manufacture and of distribution."

DIAMONDS

Every prospective purchaser of a Diamond asks himself this question. Life is largely a matter of belief. Whom shall we believe? The answer is a reliable firm. For over 66 yers this firm has dealt in Diamonds. We have made QUALITY the first consideration always. We have left the handling of cheap, inferior Diamonds to others. Our extended experience has enabled us to know how and where to secure the best stones. We exercise more care in selecting them than you do. Only Diamonds cut to give brilliancy, of proper color and high grade material are bought. Our patronage, now the largest in Richmond, gives us a prestige which may well answer your question: Whom Shall I Trust? O. E. DICKINSON "The Diamond and Watch House"

He also stated that he had not arranged to give his proxy to any other person. "I do not see the least bit of sense in the Progressives nominating a state ticket There is absolutely no show for its election," Hodgin said. Asked if he was still affiliated with the Progressive party Hodgin replied that he was an "independent voter." He has received a letter from Ed Toner of Anderson, formerly an active Progressive leader, urging him to follow the lead of Col. Roosevent and give his support to the Republican ticket next fall.
