P. Myser's china, glass and silver store opened for business on Cpmmerieai street. "As far as I' know," Mr. Myser said, "this Is the only store in Kansas 'carrying china, glass and silver I there were more of them because each store would help the. others in disabusing the Idea that stores dealing exclusively in one product are high In their prices.

Instead, many of them are reasonable and able to give customers the extra service and knowledge in tfielr line that stores carrying many products are unable to supply. Men who are owners of exclusive stores and high In prices are standing In their own light." NEW IN BUSINESS. In 1895, when Mr. Myser and his L. J.

Myser, went Into the china business, they never had sold a nickel's worth of merchandise. A. P. Myser, who is'now sole owner of the store, was principal of Kansas Avenue school and his brother was telegraph operator at the Santa Fe.

J. Myser saw the sign, "Sheriffs Sale" on the door of H. 'G. Fltzer's "racket" store en Commerlcal, where Lltwln's new store is now moving. A few hours later, A.

Nicholas, a friend of the Mysers who was in the clothing store business, got him out of bed that morning and took him to the sale. At noon, the brother rode his bicycle to the Kansas Avenue school to ask A. P. Myser If he would be interested In investing in the store. DEAL IS COMPLETE.

"If you want to put your money Into it I will," A. F. Myser told his brother, Sn that same afternoon, the brother bought the store from the secretary-treasurer of a wholesale china firm in St. Joseph, who had bid in at the sale, took the keys and opened for business. He.

resigned that day fro.n the Santa Fe. but A. F. Myser kept on teaching until school wns out in June. They put everything out of the store but the china, glass and silver.

Occupying half the building was the Bowers Plumbing company. In September the Bowers company' moved and the Mysers took' the whole building. In 1903 they moved to the L. W. Lewis building.

Twenty years later in 1923, they moved to the present location at 616 commerical. "Many, well wishing friends," Mr. Myser said, "predicted the failure of our venture in 90 days." HAD 5700 EACH. The brothers had only $700 each and had: to learn the business by experince. L.

J. Myser left the firm in 1906 and Mr. Myser bought his interest in.1918. "Nothing is more gratifying to me," Mr. Myser said, "than the confidence- customers have in the store.

Cone near Perryton, Texas, because he failed to pay $1,000 he had promised them ior slaying his two sons M. Cone, 10, and Vernon Cone, 6.

Taliey of Perryton wrote Oregon prison officials that the Tenisons "are only trying get moved from there with the hope of getting a chance to escape." Saturday, the bones: of a child were found 25 miles of Perryton at about-the place where, the Tenisons authorities, the Cone children had buried. Discovery of the bones caused Perryton officials to reopen the investigation.

State Parole Board Members Gerald Mason and Cecil Edwards questioned Claud, 40, and Elmer, 42, Monday and said they repeated their story of the triple killings. HIRED TO KILL. The brothers told the parole board members that Cone agreed to pay them $1,000 to kill his two sons because he didn't want to be encumbered with them when, he off with another woman." Mason nnd Edwards said the convicts told them the father" paid them only $250 so Claud shot him. They said each shot one child and buried them 20 or 25 miles southeast of Perryton. Elmer told Mason and' Edwards, "I tried to forget It and I couldn't, so I told the story and ieel better.

I'll have to go back to Texas to face It sooner or later, so it might as well be now." BELIEVE STORY NOW. Edwards and Mason said they were inclined to believe the men. At'Perry ton, Sheriff Taliey said think they may fee "-the bones of one of the Cone children, but I don't know."
