As an example of what we have in mind let us call attention to our regular “Looking at Washington,” writ- ten by Hugo Sims.

The Citizen, at Washington,” all statements in in publishing “Looking does not thereby endorse it. However, the column is widely printed all over the United States and is generally proving popular~ with readers, although the author admits it can never be entirely acceptable to what one might call the “red-hot partisans” of the political world.

THOMAS President, Clarkson College of Technology After the “preliminaries” are over, nearly every man you meet today will ask, “Well, how do you find busi- ness?” The other day a man made the following reply, “Only by going out after it.” He added that his busi- ness had im- proved “41 per cent in five months over last year” and that he knew his answer was the right one. Economists like to use fi ures and terms. They about bank b imports and exports, car loadings ar such other indications of good busi- ness, or bad. But this fellow who said he found business by “going after it” had a pretty fair idea about busi- ness. He may not know nich about “indexes,” but he knows that busi- ness is transacted for profit and that it is based upon confidence and that when he has shown a_ prospective customer the fair possibility of a legitimate profit he has a fair chance of getting the business. Less than three years ago, since the ‘ed, a small manufacturer in an; easiern state made up his mind he. would go out after some business: He would change his line rather ‘radically to meet what he thought were new con- ditions, start making a number of very artistic and cheap but neces- | sary articles of furniture to meet the | demands in this line, and see what would happen.

He saw all about | h:m people spending money’ for pic- ture shows, hockey games, prize fights. permanent waves and cock- | tails.

BULLAE EVAAALAAERLERUUERREUUURREREE EY Tu bringing the V-8 to the low price field, Ford designed an engine, which with the dual downdraft carburetor, simply takes the gas used | by a“4” of similar size and splits it into eight equal charges. In fact, the Ford V-8 with its sparkling performance and 8 cylinder smooth- ness is the most economical car Ford ever built. Definite cost records of large passenger car fleet owners show actual savings in the opera- tion of the Ford V-8 over previous Ford models. Test this great car yourself.
