The attention of Attorney General Palmer especially is called to The Evening World's articles. : HARTMAN CORPORATION If manufacturers and retailers who make housefurnishings of all kinds tm bustness specialty have been hard hit by increased living costs, the fact is mot indicated by the reports of earnings of the Hartman Corporation. Neither does tt appear from the accounts of this corporation that higher taxes and the increased scale of wages are a sufficient excuse for raising thé cost of all kinds of housefurnishings to the highest prices ever recorded in fhe country’s business history. ‘The Hartman Corporation was or- « gaiiised in the early part of January, 1914, and took over the business of ‘nite companies which thad long ‘been ' ed in the housefurnishing ‘trade, but which, prior 0 their ac- quisition by the Hartman Corpora- f tion, had been under practically iden- “tical management and control. Prior to their acquisition ‘by the » preset corporation, there was given ‘to the public the aggregate amount | of gales of the various companies, the } cost of merchandist sold, and the } amount of profit made on each dollar | } of salem. In 1916, however, when in-) creased prices of housefurnishings jfiret began to be severely felt, this { poiley was abandoned, and reports * now made public begin with “tots + income,” which is arrived at after 1 paying for merchandise sold, after Poducting selling expenses, various | ‘other operating costs and taxes. But while it is no longer possible to figare the *..cgin of profit on each dollar of businoss, it can be seen that wince prices of housefurnishings be-|b o y s’ — **Westpointer”’ gan to mount skyward the Hartman “ Corporation has enjoyed sharply in. | Shoes has been built up creasing prospority. |literally ‘‘a foot at a time.

He is up and away in a jiffy, gets over ground faster than bigger fellows, who struggle under the heavy burdens of their own dead weight. He turns a corner quickly, picks his way in and out of traffic, fairly runs away from most any other carrier when a street’s thick with teams and motors. He therefore makes more trips, more miles in a day, covers more territory, delivers or collects more parcels or freight. That’s why some call him “Speedy’’ Maxwell. He’s there when it comes down to getting a thing done in a hurry. He might just as well be called “Thrifty’’ Maxwell, for he’s a penny counter, if you like. He never uses food except when he’s work- | ing for you and he’s almost sure to make you a present of his first cost in one trip around the calendar.
