DEPRESYON ENDS THO CRACK TRAINS Panama Limited and Sunny- land Discontinud to Re- duce Expenses. By the Assosiated Press. MEMPHIS, September 20. — Two, Bouthern railroads have withdrawn their best trains to save money and hiave brought anguish to hearts of lit- tle boys who would rather be engineers than kings or even cowboys. The Illinois Central's Panama Lim- fted and the Frisco’s Sunnyland, in- stitutions down here where trains and slcambozts still are romantic things, have been driven to early graves by hard times. And since there is an af- finity between trains and little boys, the passing of the limiteds means more than just an economic change. The Sunnyland was what the folks in the Ozarks called the “slow train | through Arkansas” It came snorting #round the mountains, always on time | and filled a fast assignment between St Louis and Memphis. Songs have been written about it and tales always will | be told about its speed. The Panama, de luxe limited that followed the valley from Chicago to New Orleans, will never be replaced in Tearts of thousands of persons to whom it was a timeplece and inspiration. It was news that the Panama was late. A lavishly equipped train that made the 1,000-mile run in less than 24 hours, it was the pride and joy of the valley. Tho Panama's fame was so great that boys were promised trips on its clubcars as payment for good behavior. The train left Chicago several hours behind its sister, the Creole Limited, and hurried through the corn belt to | Carbondale, where it grabbed its St. Louis slcepers at dusk and headed for | the South. Folks at Cairo often de- lived supper until three long, sonorous blasts teld the little city the famous Lraln was crossing the Mason and Dixon ne. Kentuckians set their watches by its | whistle. It made few siops. but blew for the plantations as a signal to extin- the lamps. It roared into Mem- round midnight, caught its breath then slipped away through Mis- sissippi. The pant of the engine could be heard for miles in that flat country and the scream of its whistle as the | train cried for green lignts and a clear | track always told the planters it was time to be up and about the early morn- ing chores. Soon after it crossed the Louisiana line, the Panama overtook the Creole dnd beat it into New Orieans by 15 minutes Its passing means hundreds of fami- lies that used it for a timepiece will have to buy now | got the old Mem- , which was j n ‘witn an It ran from Mem- a., and everybody | along the run little engine w that he installed a steam calliope on his engine so the shrill blasts wouldn't awaken the hamlets.

BUNK and J UNK Even at very low prices, poor furniture is never a ‘‘bargain.” Yet a vast amount of such merchandise is be- ing sold every day. We know. Itis our busi- ness to know. For people who do not know good furniture from bad, today is a dangerous time to buy. Today, too many low prices you see are Bunlg: because the merchandise itself is—let’s call it by its right name—Junk. This is the inevitable result of such a period as we have just passed through. When prices were steadily falling and consumer dollars were scarcer, low prices became an unfailing lure. In talking thus frankly, Mayer & Co. claims no ‘“‘exclusive’’ on honest dealings; assumes no “holier than thou’’ attitude. We speak for all right-thinking merchants — and they are many—who would rather see an individual sale go elsewhere than to sell Junk by means of Bunk. Your solution is to depend on somebody who does know good furniture; who will help you buy wisely, at lowest prices consistent with good quality; who puts your satisfaction above profit. The business of Mayer & Co. has always been conducted, successfully, on exactly those principles. We've never seen occasion to depart from them—We see none now. We never shall.
