Grindstones
they come
they go
they stay
A THOUGH many an oldster
remembers a youth per
manently darkened every time
be had to turn the grindstone,
you seldom meet a grindstone
now -a-days. Pioneers valued
them along with wives and
hopes of salvation. Now they're
museum-pieces done in by a
little motorized wheel. That's
progress.
. .
Once this Company made a
dressing for the tops of cars.
Promptly the touring car joined
the dodo and most dosed cars
clapped on a hard hat. Progress
had left this dressing as dead
as a grindstone. We had to leap
on our horse and overtake the
procession with other new, use
ful by-products.
Now everybody knows that
gasoline is Standard's bread-and-butter.
That'swhat we most
want to sell. Yet we couldn't
provide a superior gasoline at
competitive prices if we threw
away the left-overs of gasoline
production. Our better-gasoline
problem is largely making ev ery
smidgen in a drop of oil pay
its own way.
That's one potent reason why
so much care goes into our by
productsour special oils, sol
vents, floor products, sprays.
That's one reason they're al
ways keyed to modern needs
right up to the last tick of the
clock. That's why they're one
grindstone we have to keep our
nose to.

House Paint
KEEPS WHITE HOUSES rtlu&l
Praised by painters and home owner alike. If
you want to have the whitest, cleanest looking
house in your neighborhood, ask your painter to
use Du Pont House Paint. It starts dazzling white
because it contains the whitest paint pigment
known to science. It stays whiter because it is so
formulated that the weather helps to keep it clean.
It has excellent hiding and is fast and essy to apply.
Yet it costs no more than other f n
good paints because it looks better S 95
longer needs fewer repainting!..

In 1872. a year of reconstruc

cago was trying to recover from
the disastrous fire of the year
before, the "Old West" was the
scene of numerous Indian wars.
"Boss rule" flourished In New
York City, and "six-gun" rule in
the Far West
Two young men, A Mont
gomery Ward and George R.
Thorne, with very little capital
but in possession of a big idea,
founded In that year the world's
first mail order house.
From a tiny rented room on
North Clark street, in Chicago,
they sent out their first "cir
cular." Instead of the then ac
cepted business attitude toward
customers "Let the Buyer Be
ware" these pioneering part
ners introduced: "Satisfaction
guaranteed or your money
back." This "Golden Rule" of
business quickly caught hold, as
did the so-called wildcat scheme
of selling by mail.
Response to their first catalog
was much greater than Ward
and Thorne ever dreamed. Their
humble $2,400 stock was quick-

Business Expends.
After a short while the small
spac could not accomodate all
of their stocks, so they moved
to larger quarters. The famous
Tower building, a Chicago land
mark on Michigan boulevard,
was erected in 1899, and not
long thereafter, the company be
gan to build large branch mail
order houses at strategic ship
ping centers. Today there are
nine such branch houses, cover
ing the country from coast to
coast.
In 1926 Ward's entered a new
field of merchandising . . . the
retail store. The idea of over-the-counter
service originated
with the opening of a "display
store," in which the company
merely intended to exhibit se
lected items from the catalog.
So insistent were customers
.that they be allowed to take
merchandise with them that the
firm decided to experiment with
an actual retail store. The re
sponse to the "test stores" re
sulted in rapid expansion, so
that today 68 years after Its
founding Montgomery Ward
& Company operates 823 retail
unita in addition to lta huge
mall order business.
Iu 1940, a year of efficient
merchandising, the 68th in Mont

still holds good. The company
