Merchandising Methods Changed. “The public change to a more sensi- ble Christmas shopping method has likewise changed the merchandising methods of our Washington stores,” Mr. Lansburgh pointed out. “Based on the experience of the past several years, the progressive merchant now has his com- plete holiday stocks ready for shopping early in November, instead of waiting until well after the first of December. ‘The merchant has been forced to this by reason of the steadily increasing number of people who insist on getting their holiday shopping well started weeks in advance of the general rush.” Lo e AUTO ACCIDENTS BLAMED ON INSANITY AND LOVE Leading ~ Alienist Holds Taxi Drivers Largely Responsible for “Alarming Number” of Mishaps. By _the Associated Press. ISTANBUL, December 10.—Insanity and love affairs were blamed Sunday by Mazhar Osman Bey, a leading alien- ist here, for the alarming.number of au- tomobile accidents in the city involving taxicab drivers. The prefecture took the alienist’s diagnosis so seriously it announced periodic examinations fer the drivers, stating that mentally unbal- llnced chauffeurs would be sent to asy- ums. ‘The alienist said the taxi drivers’ in- sanity was due to alcoholism and use of drugs. The love-affairs were attributed, in part, to the glamor imparted the chauffeurs’ uniforms, which were said to be as are the Po- licemen. The allenist said the tax men's flirtations while driving and quar- rels caused by mutual jealousy caused many aecidents. .- EXPLAINS FILM TROUBLES France Seeking.

O L] ROBERTS, JOHNSON &RAND STLOUIS PETERS ST.LOUIS STLOUIS JEDMAN-SHE| . | RIEDMAN SHE) P»vJ SHOES = 2L SN FRIEDMAN-SHELBY MORSE & ROGERS value SEVERAL million men go forth every morning in International Shoes. Very few of them, probably, could tell you why their shoes look so well for so-long. But what they can tell you, and will tell you any time the subject comes up, is that they know they can’t buy better shoes for the price they are asked to pay. The ‘-mention of all-leathe: counters would doubtless not excite them. But they find a decided glow of satisfaction in the lasting fit and comfort of their shoes around their heels and ankles. A heel-lift might suggest nothing more than the quaint idea of pull- ing themselves up by their boot straps, when as a matter of fact it is one of those important little slabs of leather which are used to build up a heel. And though they may not know how important it is that Inter- national tolerates no substitution for solid leather in these lifts, they do know the result—heels that stand up through all kinds of weather. That kind of satisfaction doesn’t just happen. It has come about for one reason—International has proved to these millions that they can buy truly fine shoes for considerably less than they had thought they could. There is no magic in this. It is simply sound economics. With a production of fifty million pairs of shoes a year, it is decidedly sound for HUTCHINSON ~ WINCH NEW YORK BOSTON the International Shoe Company also to make the materials for those shoes.” So seventy-five different plants, making everything from leather to lining fabrics, are” in - operation to supply the extensive-re~- quirements of International’s forty- four specialty shoe factories. This means that International can, nd does, produce for its shoes' mate- rials that it Znows are of the highest quality, at lower costs than if it bought even less quality in the open market. These savings, amounting to millions of dollars a year, are defi- nitely reflected in the price you pay. The millions of men and women who buy International Shoes for themselves and their: children have found that out. If you haven’t, you will find that the test is in the wear- ing. Go to any store that identifies itself with one of the marks of qual- ity shown below. Wherever you are, there is one near you. You will get a brand new idea of what shoe value can be. “ “ “ INTERNATIONAL SHOES are marketed under the six marks of quality which are shown below. Together they comprise more than 1,000 styles of footwear for men, women, children and infants. They are sold by more than 70,000 leading merchants, distributed throughout every statein the Union. Regardless of the brand you select, the style you prefer or the price you pay, International Shoes represent the greatest shoe value you can buy.
