The Cuban liberators whose bodies lie in the Key West cemetery did fight and did die. But freedom changed in the years that | followed. Cuba was free.

We may go fo an ‘in- | dependent store or a chain store, a depart- | ment store or a super-market. We may | want food or clothes or hardware or fur- | niture. Whatever the circumstances, the | store we patronize is one of the marvels of | the twentieth century. | Perhaps you live hundreds or thou- centers of the country. But your store, or a store within easy driving distance, offers you the same goods, at the same prices, as are offered in the biggest cities. And it provides you with just about the same kind of service. | Nowhere else on earth has retailing been developed te the degree of service, | economy and efficiency which is common- | place in the United States. Nowhere else on earth does retailing cater so well to so |-many different kinds of consumer tastes. | That is one!of the reasons why the Amer- ican standard of living is the env nf won- der of the world. " | War demands will produce chaiges in our stores. Some goods will disappear, | others will grow searee and costly. And so today modern retailing is pushing suitable substitutes, and educating the public to buy more wisely. Modern merchandisers are rendering you and your family a service that really deserves the adjective “vital.” NEW INCOME TAXPAYERS The new tax act brings in an additional 2,275,000 new taxpayers who have small | incomes but have never been taxed before by the government. The new law includes all single persons with incomes above $750 and married people with incomes above $1,- 500 and all of these will pay.taxes ‘tothe — $000,000 Japanese yen.| in congre government to the amount of which is ex- pected to yield $1,444,660,000-fer-new4e—!
