L WHAT A WANT AD DID: < P • t A column tory in the Santa Bar t , . bara (Gal.) Daily News tells how J. 1 I L- Mead, the millionaire Chicago bi- f r cycle dealer, got his first start thru 1 a want ad. The closing paragraphs i 0 of that story are as follows: - * "The history of Mead's career reads < ' like a romance. During the boom < days of Wichita, Kan., he first made 1 and then lost a fortune. He went to i

I and got clerical employment, but his eyes gave way and he had to to make a living for himself and family outside an office. His chief asset was an old-fashioned ordinary He put a want ad in a daily and sold this very readily. A friend asked him to help sell another bicycle. He did this and made a small commission. That gave him an idea. He began to sell bicycles on commis- ( sion, advertising both to buy and to

, sell bicycles. From the first he made F > money and soon he was making more i than an ordinary clerical salary. Then f he began repairing bicycles. From r that he began to manufacture them } ,• and quickly made a fortune. t 1 "Then he went back to Wichita and , - bought up some of the busted boom 1 real estate. Last year this was taxed . u for -more than a milion dollars and he - paid the taxes. He now has a winter o home in Pasadena and is on his way

ORIGINAL PLAN

Six-Room Bungalow With Property Value and "Liveableness" Greatly Increased

Because of today's conditions, many households are much Interested In the problem of how *.o expand bathing and toilet fa- ^ _fllltles without new building. By way of suggestion this paper will print a series of plans, (of which that above . . Is the first) to Indicate how orac'dcal Improvements of the sort referred to can be made at moderate expense Theoe plans are all designed to avoid undue Interference with regular house-keep-ing activities, and can be put -Into effect * with but little muss or fuse In detail. none of the plans may exactly fit your house: but among them there Is sure to be found some practical, usable suggesThls six room bungalow has been made I f ♦?.*■ , _,o a home much more convenient and ^ hcalfurul by the added -bath room shown. b -

Reference to the original plan. In comparison to the new one shows that tha change has been made with remarkably Utile added or altered construction. No feature of real advantage In the original plan has been sacrificed. The added showers, the baths, and lavatories In two bedrooms are a comfortable convenience out of all proportion to tha added coat. Added medicine or toilet cabin eta over each lavatory would be enormously convenient By such changes, many otherwise inadequate dwellings could be made Infinitely more desirable, at a moderate expense which would disappear entirely in added property value. Tour plumbing dealer would be glad to confer with von about such a chance. Very often-a small closet can be converted Into a- beautifully Inviting bathroom.

PROTEST RAZING OLD TREE ■ (By E. P. Stites) Residents of Green Creek are up in arms because the Oape May County Board of Freeholders want to cut I down the giant oak tree at Schellenge/'s Corner in Green Creek, which stood for over 200 years. I I The tree stands in front of Mrs. SeloverV store. It is nearly 70 ] feet high and measures several feet in diameter. It was under this tree that former President Wilson made his now ''famous speech to the fishermen of the Delaware Bay when Mr. Wilson ; was a candidate for the Governorship ' | of New Jersey. _ ' ■ 01 lirw « iciacj.

j Many Presidents have visited the | tree, among whom were Lincoln, Harrison,' Grant and o there- Minister Wu Fang, of China when at Cape some years ago, said there was tree in all China like the big oak. It has been struck by lightning times and the Freeholders fear winter winds wil blow it down and obstruct the highway. It is understood i the villagers will circulate a petition • throughout Cape May County to have the Freeholders leaev the tree alone- ! — ! ENJOYING VACATION i ! ! John See, of West Cape May is en- * joying a vacation of a few weeks in New York City.

II TOPSY "JUST GREW"' % But towns and cities don't become industrial and agricultural centers in that way. For prosperity comes only through careful and conservative planning. Foresight— and a broad vision— are necessary. So, too, behind the local Bell service is _ - an engineering staff whose function is plan- f ning for the future telephone needs of the community. These engineers are just as much concerned about the present or prospective subscriber here as with anyone else in the United States. No problem is so small that it does not merit their attention and no difficulty has yet been too large for them to overcome. For they are members of rhe Bell organization. And all Bell people have a very real interest in the community. Their ideal is to merit the approbation of their fellow citizens whom they serve. They aim to give the best of service and to give it _ with courtesy for th^y know that courtesy pays. I THE DELAWARE 6" ATLANTIC Jj| Mi TELEGRAPH & TELEPHONE CO.
