Ghosts of The Qld
Ku Klux Klan Are
Again On March
NEW YORK, Jan. 13 m The
World-Telegram said Monday the
ghosts of the old Ku Klux Klan are
again stalking with three men, form
er . leaders of the klan, trying to
build national societies out of its
ashes.
The three denizations, said the
paper, are the Klan, the White Band,
Inc., and the Esskaye, the latter two
welcoming Jews and Catholics.
Dr. H. W. Evans, imperial wizard of
tho Klan, was reported making ef
forts to revive that organization. -
The other two named were:
William Joseph Simmons, one "time
imperial wizard of tho Klan. who
seeks to promote the White Band,
Inc., as an antidote to communism.
E. Y. Clarke, former promoter for
the Klan and later imperial klcagle,
who opened a membership drive Mon
day for the Esskaye. The society's
debut In the nation's life will begin
with an "American problems confer
ence" in Cleveland on February 1.
Tho newspaper said the secrecy and
$10 membership fee of the old Klan
remains as features of all three so
cieties.

"The paramount duty of fire insur

Fire Insurance Commission a few
years ago "is to protect communi
ties as well as indiyiduals, and only
that form of insurance appears ade
quate to the task that is fortified by
cash assets and conforms to every
legal requirement of the states."
STOCK FIRE INSURANCE
alone maintains countrywide activi
ties for the protection of communi
ties and individuals, and maintains
premium reserves, cash surplus, and
invested capital sufficient to meet all

Products are nearly always put on the market before they are
advertised. Quite frequently, changes have to be made in an
article before the public generally will accept it. Color, design,
flavor those are some of the things the public has to be con
sulted about. Sometimes ia product won't sell at all and simply
has to be discontinued. As soon as people show that they welcome
an article iand as soon as all refinements and improvements have
been added, then, you could hear the manufacturer sav, if
could be in .his office, "Now we can advertise."

you
When you buy advertised goods, you may know they have
gone through the experimental stages. You may be sure that the
manufacturer knows they are right and that he is willing to stake
his reputation on them. You may be confident that you are buying
goods that have sold a.nd that would continue ito sell without any
advertising at all. For advertising merely lets all of the people
know now what considerable numbers would find out by
word of mouth ten years from now. 1 ' '
Of course, advertising goes a step farther. Word of mouth
hardly ever tells all the uses of a product. It often doesn't give
the real reasons for its superiority. Advertising tells people all
about a product and the numerous ways in which they can use if.
Whatever you buy, therefore, let the advertisements be your
guide. When the manufacturer says, "Now we can advertise it "
you know that you can safely say, "Xowwe can buy it."
