ROSESURU, OREGON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1925.
THE GAME OF BUSINESS COMPETITION.
There are many people in business who always attribute
their troubles to some existing condition. Before the recent
election, many people attributed business ill success to the politi
cal uncertainties. Now that the election has passed, many of
these ioLks will lay their failures to some other cause, or to most
anything except their own lack of push. There are something
over 1,100,000 retail business firms in this country. A field so
enormous is one in which there is a good chance for success, pro
vided one shows something more than ordinary enterprise.
There are always a good many of these concerns that are not
reaching out with any special determination for new trade. The
existence of many such concerns makes an opportunity for all
who will make a determined effort to obtain business, by adver
tising and other sales campaigns. Advertising cannot ' rescue
a concern that is doing poor work. If its service is below the
average or its prices above the average for -the quality of goods,
the firm should not be encouraged to advertise, because it is fair
ly sure to make a failure anyway. But if a concern is giving at
least average service, then the principal obstacle in -its way is
usually its own lack of determined sales campaign, by which it
shall make known the value of its service to the public. No mat
ter how good work it is doing, its service does not count, unless
the public realizes how good work it is doing. As a usual thing
the concerns that advertise are giving better than average ser
vice, because their push draws a large volume of trade, which
enables a firm to do business at a minimum of cost, and give
something more than the ordinary value for a dollar.

Discussion breaks out occasionally as to how much of an
income a young couple should have before they marry. The fig
ure $2000 is one which is fixed by a good many people. Yet
there are millions of familes in the country whose earnings fall
much below that figure. Some of them live in sections where
expenses are low, and they are better off than folks living in high
cost cities. Still there are many people living in expensive cities
whose income is much below that figure. It is commonly said
that any industrious young people can get along if they will prac
tice economy. There is another essential that is, frequently for
gotten, and that is careful planning. The old timers had pitifully
sma.l incomes, judged by modern standards. But they "got by"
because they planned their expenditure very carefully in ad
Vance, and made many savings due to this forethought. The
struggling young family needs to consider its outgo quite as care
fully as its income.
A Pennsylvania minister hid his text the other night in a
cross word puzzle placed upon the blackboard, and the audience
were told that they must solve the puzzle before the pastor
could preach his sermon. It is much that way in human affairs.
Our experience is one long succession of puzzles. Many people
say they can make neither head nor tail of the contradictory
events which occur to them, and they are bewildered by difficult
experiences to the meaning of which they can find no clue. The
world and their part of it are incomprehensible to millions of
folks. Yet our part in the world was not meant to be an in
soluble puzzle. We need to open our hearts to helpful influ
ences, to read good books and newspapers, seek inspiration from
religion and earnest leaders, and busy ourselves in useful service.
People who do those things usually find the puzzles of experi
ence soluble.
A Hall of Fame is to be provided at Washington for men
who have created famous inventions, in the National Museum
of Engineering and Industry. It will be a perpetual reminder
of what we all owe to the brilliant and persistent men who have
brought modern homes and labor to their present high level of
efficiency and comfort. These men have not as a rule had
credit for nil they have done. We glorify statesmen and authors
and artists, and forget these patient investigators in the techni
cal arts. Many of these mechanical geniuses never made money
out of their inventions, and they devoted their whole souls to
mis achievement, without much thought whether it would b.
financially profitable or not.
A noted educator declared the other day. that many young
girls become so envious of the silk stockings and other pretty
things worn by young women of a little greoter age. that they
quit school prematurely early, in order to earn spending money
with winch to buy these thing, right off. They can not wait for
h. thing, they covet. Many boy, have quit school to earn
spending money to take these same girl, around to expensive
how. and treats. Folly is not confined to either sex. The
young folk, who give up the solid benefits of education for tem
porary satisfactions, many of which are gone in a niht, are mak
ing a very poor trade and show

We are pleased lo extend (he convenience of
lime-payments. Ark about Chrysler's attractive
plan. Dealer everywhere.
Oneyear has elapsed since the Chrysler Six
was nrst introduced to the American public
In the span of that year, the Chrysler has
grown from a mere name to a success the
like of which has never been known before.
One year ago, Walter P. Chrysler promised
a car that would yield new and revolution
ary results. Since then, the Chrysler has
more than redeemed its pledge.
In compactness and beauty of design, in
quickness of response and flexibility of
performance, in economy and facility of
operation, in power and in stamina, it has
satisfied the long cherished wants of a
critical motoring public
$50,000,000 and upwards has been paid by
Chrysler-wild American motor car buyers
for the privilege of enjoying these revolu
tionary results. 32,000 cars have been built
and shipped in an effort to fill the demand.
It is therefore fitting that Monday, January
5th, the Chrysler's first birthday, should
be a day of celebration for the Chrysler
organization because of the unparalleled
success attained in one year's time for
owners and admirers because of the
Chrysler's revolutionary achievements.
