THE SINTON MEAT !
MARKET !
The announcement that a large man-
ufacturer has agreed to pay a chain of
stores in the east $40,000 annually for
the privilege of an exclusive display
of one of his products in the win-
dows eight times during the year, has
served to bring home to merchants
the value of their display windows.
The majority of merchants now in
business can remember the day when
the proprietor of a store made a
change in the arrangement of his win-
dow display only as the fancy hap-
pened to strike him—when he looked
upon his window as little more than
storage places for merchandise. Then
came the introduction of plate glass
for store windows, and along with it
a rapid change in the merchant's point
of view..
* * * * * * * *
A recent investigation conducted in
the city of New York brought out the
fact that the number of persons pass-
ing in one day, a window at a promi-
nent location equalled the entire popu-
lation of the city of Oakland, Cali-
fornia; or St. Paul. Minnesota; or
Rochester, New York. Although the
number of passers-by will naturally be
smaller in smaller cities, other inves-
tigations have conclusively shown that
no matter what city be taken, the
“circulation” of a well located win-
dow will be more than impressed with
the city's total of potential buyers.
No more striking illustration of the
value of this “window circulation”
can be found than the sales recorded
of the 13,000 Woolworth five and ten
cent stores. In one year these stores
told 54,000,000 handkerchiefs, 9,000,-
000 yards of cotton goods, 90,000,000
pounds of candy, 2,000,000 pieces of
enamel ware, and 35,000 barrels of
glassware. Interior displays played
a part in these sales, but it was the
window displays that brought the buy-
ers into the stores.
According to those who keep in
touch with retail selling methods
throughout the country, recognition of
the sales value of the window is gain-
ing ground with constantly increasing
acceleration. More and more, mer-
chants are coming to realize that the
display window is the real index to
the proprietor's business status and
Education is the whetstone upon
which we sharpen human intelligence
—our most valuable tool. We have
remarkably rich natural resources. We
have a citizenry of uncommonly good
native intelligence. That intelligence
is engaged in cutting away the ob-
stacles encountered in producing
from natural resources goods of value
to man and living together while we
do it. The cutting qualities of the
tool and the skill with which it is
wielded depend upon our schools.
These obstacles (problems to be
solved) continually grow less complex
in relation to physical matters and
more complex in social matters. Each
problem solved in industry on the side
of tool and process lays the basis for
a comparatively easy solution of other
problems. Each industrial change,
however, creates new problems of liv-
ing together which can not be solved
so easily because the consent of men
to behave in a certain way must first
be secured.
To safeguard the danger that in-
dustrial progress will break down so-
cial organization in our democracy, we
need as never before, the sharpened
tool of trained intelligence. Is your
school "the best possible school? Es-
pecially is it the best possible school
to give training in social organization
and the duties of citizenship? If not,
is it because you do not give it proper
financial support so that efficient
teachers may he employed or is it be-
cause you have not helped to secure
progress in curriculm adjustment and
plan of organization? Do you really
know what manner of man or woman
is the teacher of your child? Do you
really know what Is being taught your
child? If you care in the least what
the form of social organization of the
United States is to become yoH will
know what is being taught in the
school and how it is being taught.—

In line with this quickened realiza-

LUTHERAN CHURCH ENJOYS
GET-TOGETHER MEETING
Members of Sinton Lutheran church
and their pastor, Rev. -Richter, enjoyed
a get-together meeting at Park Wel-
der Sunday. Rev. Ludwig, general
secretary and inspector for the United
Lutheran Synod, was the speaker of
the occasion. A noon-hour lunch of
every good edible obtainable was an
enjoyable feature of the day.

the same point.
In the past, motorists with extra
room in their cars have frequently
picked up persons waiting at the road-
side and carried them along. Now,
however, after scores of court decis-
ions have been handed down holding
the driver responsible for injury to
any person riding in his car, the auto
owners are becoming more awry, for
even those who carry liability insur-
ance are liable far beyond the amount
of their policy.
The article in the magazine goes on
to point out that the day of pitying
the poor chap who has 60 walk is def-
initely past. It says that the guest
has switched from an appreciative
party to something which any judge
or attorney will tell you is the next
thing to a menace. The article cites
many examples in which drivers have
been nicely “trimmed” because of ac-
cidents occurring to strange “ride-
jackers.”—Exchange.
