The occasion was featured by the promise of W. W. Everett, vice presi- dent and general manager of the store, that, beginning March 1, plans will be begun for an even larger and better store, “so that when our seventy-fifth anniversary comes around in 1955 we still will be a store worthy of the Nation’s Capital as the Capital will be at that ttme. We believe, the wonder- ful improvements that are now being wrought in our city will attract many new and desirable citizens from other States, and that Washington and the surrounding country will be far larger and better than it is today.” Reminiscences of the early days of Washington’s commercial life, when ad- vertising was in its infancy and Wood- ward & Lothrop's had published in The Star its first display advertisement, which was run unchanged for two weeks, marked Mr, Everett's address. Distinguished Guests. Willian. Knowles Cooper, vice presi- dent of Crane, Parris & Co., investment ers, was the other speaker. The presence of Commissioner Proctor L. Doughberty and Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, lent an offi- cial touch to the meeting. Ernest S. Johnston, president of the Advertising Club, presided. At the speakers’ table were Mr. Everett and Mr." Cooper, Commissioner Dougherty, Col, Grant, Donald Woodward, presi- dent of the store; George N. Everett, vice president; Max Fischer, treasurer; B. W, Parker, a director; John Poole, president of the Federal American Na- tional Bank; William S. Corby, Robert Ripley, the cartoonist; Martin A. Leese, to whom was recently awarded the Cosmopolitan Medal for Washington’s most valuable citizen during 1929, and Milton R. Baker, manager of radio sta- tion WMAL. ‘There were 50 tables, each bearing a eandle, representative of a year in the life of the store. The ceremonies were begun with the lighting of the candles. Charles J. Columbus, managing di- rector of the advertising club, spoke briefly of the employes of the firm and read a list of old employes, many of whom had completed more than 40 years' service. Details Store’s History. Mr. Everett gave a detailed history of the growth of the store, pointing out the many trade innovations in which Woodward & Lothrop's was the pioneer, and their lead in establishing F street as the principal shopping thoroughfare of the city. ‘The first store occupied a small build- ing at 705 Market Space, he related, and was called the “Boston Dry Goods House.” Associated with Samuel W. ‘Woodward and Alvin M. Lothrop in the enterprise was Charles E. Cochrane. This store had a floor area of only 1,700 square feet. The business gradually outgrew its small quarters. More and more com- modious buildings were occupied, until the business was moved to its present site, at the corner of Eleventh and F streets, in 1887. The acquisition of the entire bl6ck, now owned by the firm, with the exception of the northwest but in 1912 it was accomplished. The speaker traced the change in business ' methods and conveniences from 1880 to the present day, laying rticular stress on the strict ad- rence of those who guided the destiny of the store to the sound and honest principles that motivated the conduct of the founders. Began in Boston. Mr. Cooper presented a historical sketch of the founders, with whom he was on Intimate terms. He said that Mr. Woodward and Mr. Lothrop began business in Boston, later moving to the neighboring City of Chelsea. After an_extensive survey of various Eastern cities they selected Washington as the site for a store, being convinced that the Capital City had a bright commer- cial future. ‘Among the principles for which they always stood, he declared, were truth in advertising, the one-price system and the “return-if-not-satisfactory” plan. The store has grown to such propor- tions, he pointed out, that it now em- ploys 2,000 persons, 23 having been with the firm for 40 years or more and 132 having served for 25 years. ‘The annual good fellowship dinner of the Twenty-Year Club, composed of employes who have been with Wood- ward & Lothrop 20 years, was held last night at the Raleigh Hotel. The invocation was given by T. E. Kibbey, following which the members stood and paid silent tribute to the founders of the business. New Members in Club. J. A. Hobson, president of the club, made a brief address, in which he spoke of the organization and introduced Donald Woodward, who acted as toast- master.

By the Associated Press. CALEXICO, Calif., February 26— Residents of Imperial Valley and the Northern District of Lower California, in Mexico, today recovered from the scare caused by an earthquake yes- terday. The major shock, of 15 seconds’ dura- tion, occurring at 6:25 pm., was of sufficient intensity to forewarn the valley inhabitants of possibly stiffer Jjolts to come and many of them took to the streets as a matter of precaution, ‘When no further shock was felt until 7:50 p.m., and that of considerably lessened intensity, the temporary alarm subsided. No damage was reported from any section, although buildings were rocked perceptibly by the first jolt. How far the earthquake extended into Mexico could not determined. Mexicali, capital of the Northern Dis- trict of Lower California, felt it, but the district of the south is sparsely settled, and no reports of disturbances came from there.

A car which sells for half as much as a Packard Standard Eight does not get half rates on gasoline, oil and tires. Nor on license, insurance, garaging and repairs. lower-priced cars traded in on Packards proves it. Owners know that their Packards are built for long life, and that their characteristic beauty is not depreciated by frequent and needless changes in design. It is literally true, therefore, that if you are driving'a car of comparable size to a Packard Standard Eight you are un- doubtedly paying Packard ownership costs. Isn’t it logical, then, to ask— “Whynot have the Packard?” The price of the most popular model of the Packard Standard Eight—the 5-passenger Sedan —is but '$2485 at the factory. Ten other body styles are avail- able on the 127% and 134%- inch wheelbases at from $2425 to $2885. If the car is similar in size to the Packard it costs at least as much to operate and maintain it. No advantage here, for a lower-priced car. There is no advantage for the half-price car on first cost, either —provided the Packard is kept twice as long. For here is where depreciation must be figured in. Simple arithmetic proves that depreciation on a Packard is no greater than on a half- ABOVE SIGN 18 DISPLLAYED BY AUTHORIZED STAR BRANCH OFFICES have at home or in your busi- ness, and you feel will be diffi- cult to fill—just make use of The Star Classified Section and see how surprising will be the results.
