Indeed, we are frequently judged by our footwear. How often we hear some one say, "I know he's well groomed, but look at his feet!" And, looking, we find the one flaw in an otherwise perfect appearance. Now, why be careless in the matter of shoes? It surely isn't to our credit. Men are usually the chief offenders, for women as a rule, take great pride in their feet. Men would, too, if they once acquired the habit of being neatly and stylishly shod in well, let's say Army and Navy shoes.

Helnss Company In the Centrul Pennsylvania district, entertained his oilU and sales force ut the Penn HurrU Hotel Inst at dinner, the affair bclrg a part of the three days' program beintf outlined by the sales force for the coming yenr. Mr.

Meliuu, who recently attended will entertain at dnnce'thia tno fiftieth anniversary celebration of the founding of the company at Pittsburgh, told of the magnitude of thut affair nnd presented each guest with a handsome memorial volume dedlcntcd to the founder of the firm, the late II. J. Helms. Mr. Melius told his guests how Mr.

Heina had begun business in Pittsburgh fifty years ago, with two men, a boy, a little capital and an Idea and then quoted stat'atlc to show the tremendous growth of the concern, which now emp'oyes 6,523 persons regularly, and requires 100,000 persons to harvest its crops. It has 25 branch factories, including thore in Canada. England nnd Spain, 85 pickle salting stations, and 87 raw product receiving stations.

The Harrisburg force has grown wonderfully the past two years and the'well stocked warehouse and distributing station maintained here make Harrisburg one of the big centers of Heinz trade in this State. D. M. Linnard, Hotel Magnate, Sells Out to N. Y.

Company Atlantic City, N. Dec. 31. An nouncement was made here of a sweeping change in ownership of America's biggest hotel chain, which however, will only hasten the com pletion of the huge $20,000,000 hotel construction project now in prog ress here. Governor Sproul as Presidential Candidate Discussing presidential possibilities in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post, Samuel BIythe, the well known political observer, mentions Governor Sproul.

Respecting the Pennsylvania executive's qualifications he says: "Another type is Governor William C. Sproul, of Pennsylvania, who is a Republican. He also is a businessman, a man of large affairs, who has been in poll tics a long time in his State. He has been Governor of Pennsylvania for a year, and before that had a long service in the State Senate. His business interests are at Chester, where he is' active in many lines, particularly in ships and shipbuild ing, which gives added qualifications inasmuch as a great deal of our fu ture business expansion and pros perity will depend on shipping and the proper handling of our shipping affairs.

Sproul's political and business records are open for inspection, presumably. He is an example of the sort of man who might do well because of his experience. "It may be that Governor Sproul, upon examination, will be found to be too political in his bearings because Pennsylvania is an intensely political State, and the Pennsylvan' Republican organization, to whicti ne probably belongs, is not only intensely, but intensively, political, also. An investigation would be necessary." The first page of the Post bears a fine picture of Governor Sproul i delivering his inaugural address.

We will welcome your criticism; it gives us the incentive to do better things. Wishing you all the good things in life, with a happy prosperous 1920, we are Very truly yours, The Cloos Company 0 0 6 A Tribute To Harrisburg Sixteen months ago Harrisburg awoke to find a little bit of Fifth Avenue set down in its midst in the shape of my shop.

And Harrisburg responded with its patronage. A year ago this business was a toddling infant of four months; a thrifty babe but still untested. Today I can look back to sixteen months of steady growth and consistent success. And to the keen judgment of Harrisburg' women is due the credit. They realize that, value consider ed, my prices were lower than in any Harrisburg store displaying women apparel.

They learned that as regards style no Harrisburg store approached my standards. The success of this enterprise is much more of a compliment to tlve taste and discernment of my patrons than it is to my business ability. It is with a sense of the deepest appreciation of the support that Harrisburg lent us that I extend to the people of our city on behalf of myself and my loyal staff of helpers our most sincere tcishes for a Happy 1920. ff 5 Oi 8 A.
