The suburban store, by joining with other establish- ments in" the neighboring towns to buy co-operatively, can offer almost {as large and varied a selection as the metropolitan store. Its overhead is smaller, and rents are lower. Recourse to Busses Seen. Philadelphia merchants have even expressed the fear that drastic park- ing regulations will drive some of their Pennsylvinia and New Jersey trade to New York. The New York situation is compli- cated by the fact that the city already has $822,000,000 invested in rapid transit lines on which it is receiving no return. Transportation men say it is impossible to operate the lines profitable on a G-cent fare basis and that it is costing the city $13,000,000 a year out of taxes to carry its rapid transit investments. About $625,000,- 000 additional is needed for proposed subways and the engineers say the estimated deficit of the new subway when operated at the b-cent fare would be $62,000,000 a year. On the other hand, there is strong opposition to any increase in the G-cent fare. With those facts in view, a speedy- recourse to busses is indicated.

As a matter of fact, the conscientious doctor does not minister to patients for a fee any more than a bride gets married for a wedding ring. And yet she feels she is entitled to the ring. In pdying for bonds, the customer must add additional amounts to cover interest for pediods of delay after the bill has been rendered. That is be- cause investment bankers have made their clients realize that $1,000 today has a greater actual market value than $1,000 next week. Physicians suffer an economic loss by being made to wait. Competition to Be Keener. That the competition among auto- mobile builders during the current year will be keener than ever before is the belief of John N. Willys, who attended the twenty-seventh annual ::tomobile show, which ended Satur- 3 “Present indications,” president of Willys Overl in reply to my questions, the larger and better grounded manu- facturers and producers will show increased production for 1927 with one exception, this being a large producer located in Detroit. The total volume of cars disposed of in the domestic field will probably not be equal to that of 1926, but the loss will be felt more particularly by the smadll builders.” “Do you anticipate an incre: exports of automotive products?’ Willys was asked. “The popularity of the American- built car,” he said, “is rapidly on the increase in European countries. Only two European manufacturers have in any way attempted to develop mass production and the figures of these manufacturers do not approximate anything like the figures to which we are accustomed. The European buyer is aware of certain very defi- nite advantages in American-built products, and companies well estab- lished in the Buropean trade will see an increase in the foreign demand during the next 12 months.” As for the price outlook, Mr. Willys declared: “It does not seem likely at this time that any material reductions will be made in 1927. Most manufacturers have priced their products at a low point during the past year.” The next query was whether the manufacturer agreed with Henry Ford that the sale of cars on credit had been overdone. “The sale of cars on credit has not been overdone,” answered Mr. Willys, “provided the dealer uses his head in establishing risks. Time payment will always be an advantage to the buyer and to the seller as long as it {s not used as a weapon to drive a buyer up into a price class which is beyond his means.” in Mr. 2SS OF GETTIL AHEA] Preferring Other Fellow's Job. That shrewd observer of life, H. T. Webster, the cartoonist, recently ran a4 comic ‘strip under the caption, “Any Old Job Looks Better to Me Than Mine." It told the story of the head of the good will department whose work con- sted of entertaining out-of-town buy- ers at the firm's expense. No doubt every one envied him, but he found the work tiresome, complaining *I wish 1'd gone into th’ coal game when I had th' chance, This job of mine's getting pretty doggone monotonous.” The cartoonist calls attention to one of the universal tendencies to regard other work as more glamourous than your own. Perhaps it is another ex- pression of the pathos of distance— the fascination of the unknown. Element of Drudgery. The job you understand best seems suffused with a large element of rou- tine and drudgery: the ob you have merely heard about seems eternally interesting. These prejudices are from father to son. In Oriéntal caste handed down ead of follow- em under cally follows in his father’s footsteps, the system has been inverted. The physiclan who knows the hardship of a doctor's life wants his son to go into something else: the traveling salesman advises his son not to be a drummer; the actor seeks to put his offspring into speculative and less full of temptations than the stage. The truth is that all applied work involves effort,’and has its routine as well as its creative moments. Nearly every ordinary job calls for a certain amount of repetitious motion. Each task has its problems and its difficul- ch business has its failures as well a5 its successes. If you knew as much about the other fellow’s job as you do about your own, it would not seem so romantic and alluring. This observation is likely to be mis- understood. It does not mean that all jobs are equally dull or monoto- nous. As a matter of fact, these are relative terms. In the last analysis, the most interesting job for you is the one that lles within the range of your talent, fitness and liking. The worst job for you is one in which you are misplaced. The best is the one in which you are in harmony with your environment. | Stirring Creative Faculties. ports in_ December were Begins February 1st tons against 39,519 in December, and “0'000000000000000000000 41,103 o DYPEW.A)_;:FZL A job that stirs your creative facul- ties and calls for judgment is likely to be the most interesting.

EVERYMAN’S INVESTMENTS BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Highest Priced Stock. The highest priced stock on the New York Stock Exchange never paid a dividend. The company is Texas Pacific Land Trust. It has no bonds. It has no preferred stock. The owner- ship of the company rests in what are called land trust certificates. These are of a par value of $100 and the other day they sold for more than $2,000. No other listed stock has ever changed hands for so large an amount per share. Texas Pacific Land Trust up to this writing has never even paid a stock dividend. In fact, the policy of the company with regard to its capital obligations has been exactly the re- verse of that involved in stock divi- dends, Instead of increasing the num- ber of shares outstanding it has de- creased them through purchase in the open market and cancellation. Back in 1888 there were 103,694 certificates and at the end of April last this num- ber had been reduced to 19,290. The organization owns large acreage in 82 counties in Texas. As lands have been sold the proceeds together with income from rentals and royalties have been used to acquire and to can- cel such certificates as could be pur- chased. The result was that the shares that were left had that much larger equity in the property. This policy may be changed in the future. There have been reports to that effect, but, however that may be, there could be no better illustration of the fact that stock dividends—that is, an increase in the number of shares of a corporation—do not fin- crease the value of any one block of stock. Texas Pacific Land Trust up to thi time has been doing exactly the oppo- site of a company that declares stock dividen Check dacough before you feel sore -7, Don’t treat it lightly.
