No Age Limit in This Concern By JOHN PALMER “Old” Johnson, he was, called, and the appellation fitted him tol erably well. Johnson was seventy, ea had been 45 years with Mace ‘0. Changes take place Inevitably in every organization. Mace & Co. were being reconstructed. Brown, the energetic new president, called Harry Thompson into his’ office. Thompson was sixty, and had worked up front offiée boy to gen- eral manager. Who's that old fellow at the bookkeeping end?” he ‘0 fairly so for an _ old timer, Rather got into a rut with years.” ire him!” smpped Brown. “We want new blood In this orgun- Ization.” Thompson called the old man up to his desk. “Well, Johnson,” he said. “I suppose you've managed to put by a little money in all these years?” Old Johnson turned white as a ghost. He had always dreaded what he knew was coming. “N-vo, sir,” he stammered. “There was a time when I had a little savings, but the cost of living—” “Yes, yes, of course,” interrupted Thompson brusquely. “It’s unfor- tunate, Johnson, but I’m under or- ders to discharge you. We've got to have new blood in this firm. You ought to have managed to put some thing by. I’m sorry, but—” “My God, Thompson, what will my wife do?” “I don’t know, Johnson. I don't want to know, either. That's up to youl” He watched the broken old man withdraw, shaking his head and hunching his shoulders. “Poor devil!” he muttered. “We've got to have new blood, though.” Old Johnson disappeared from the office, Other changes occurred. About a month later Harry Brown :sent for Thompson. “Mr. Thompson,” he began suavely, “I suppose you've managed to lay by a comfortable sum these years you've been here?” “Why—a little, not much,” an- swered Thompson. He was aes ested in the question. Probably Harry Brown was going to invite him to invest in the company, “I’m glad to hear that, because— well, Mr. Thompson, we're getting new blood ffito the firm, you know, andhow old are you, Thompson?” Thompson was struck cold. “You mean you—you won't need my. serv- ices?” he stammered. “Why— why—I’ve been here since I was, boy! My wife will go crazy!” “I hope not, Thompson. But that’s up to your wife and you. 1 must ask for your resignation in a month’s time. Or, in consideration of your valuable services to the firm over so many. years, a month's salary will be at your disposition.” Thompsog withdrew, shaking his head. He was absolutely knocked out. He had a little money—if he had been a younger man he would have got some of the old hands to- gether and started a manufacturing business of his own.

RS of homes that were built some years ago are apt to consider them out of date, sell them and build new homes. Many times this is a good practice, as the needs of the family may be such that the old home is no longer large enough. However, many of these homes would be satisfactory if the owners would rebuild them and apply paint of a different color scheme, thereby securing for themselves modera, attractive homes at a comparatively low cost. What may be done with the old- fashioned two gable home is shown in the larger of the two illustra- tions. The smaller illustration pic- tures the type of home of which there are thousands in all parts of the country. Houses of this type were erected when home architec- ture was in its infancy. These homes were well built of excellent materials. It is anything but econ- omy to tear them down, or to sell them. They can be transformed in many different ways into modern, attractive, comfortable homes, PHONE THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE illustrations, the roof at the fron! entrance was covered with a per. for vines. the walls. gle stain was chosen for the roof; the shutters. preparation w''l preserve the shin- gles for besord t ne of Hie. to mike aos:nall n larger, of the house was extended at ‘the same pitch to provide a roof for] interior as will be noted by com- the porch.
