Mexico's revolutionists com
bine business with patriotism.
One Mexican, one Spaniard,
two Americans, arrested in
New York, were going to Eu
rope, with $730,000 taken from
bjuks raided in Mexico.
An American court will de
cide oil the nature of the loot.
If it's war, the men' arrested
will keep it, as the allies keep
' all the gold they can get in
Germany.
If it's rebellion the men will
go to jail, and the money back
to Mexico. As the men were
' beaten, they will probably be
classed as rebels. .
: Cotton growers will be glad
to hear that department stores
arc speciaizing in cotton goods;
'ICotton arrives," is the an
nouncement of one store, big
gest in New York, doing about
$90,000,000 a year.
. "Doited Swiss," "pique"
and "ginghams" arc featured
energetically. ; .
"Often woman changes," the
French say.
Real or imitation silks have
been the rngc. : Now King Cot
ton conies back.
If Americans will advertise
and emphasize "cotton goods
grown, and made in America"
instead of advertising' " British
cotton cloth," that wilL help.
Merchants to whom; effect
ive advertising is important
will bo interested ill one ad
vertisement by "Walker's" dc-.
partmcnt store, published yes
terdny hi the Los Angeles Ex
aminer. The advertisement, ap
pearing in the Examiner exclu
sively, filled 10 pages.
Those who think such an in
vestment excessive iu a high
priced medium arc mistaken.
Jt is important to deserve
success. It. is equally import
ant to COMMAND ATTEN
TION. lou't whisper if you can af
ford to yell.
This country flid eight to teu
billions in foreign trade last
year, but Dr- Klein, assistant
secretary of comhicrcc, says
American business methods lose
eight to ten billions each year.
Lax promotion, imperfect mer
chaudise, disorderly marketing
of unsystematic housing, cause
of unsystcniati housing, cause
part of the loss. ,
Two hundred million to $300,
000,000 a year could be saved
bv improved handling methods.
Look into the "skid platform"
device. Honry Ford suggested
the five-day work week, "that
workers might have time to
spend and enjoy their -earn
nigs."
' Prosperity, according to Mr.
Ford, must depend on wise
spending of the ninety billions
per year collected by the wage
earners.
New York's building trade
takes the suggestion seriously
and 100,000 men by threatening
a strike have won the five-day
week, with five and a half days'
pay.
"lfo workers, well rc"'-."l. can.
If they choose, do as much In five
days as they have done In six.
That's wfhst they should do, In
