Just a few years ago it made little difference what you paid for withe articles you bought. You had a. nice fat pocketbook and felt kindly toward every merchant you patronized. You could afford to ~71). generous and buy the best. Within the last few months this atti- :‘tude has given away to one of careful and Judiclous selection. This marked change pleases us. For we like to sell lumber to careful .bnyers. They know and appreciate good quality. They do not buy " so much but they pay enough to get a. good grade of lumber and are mover disappointed. We've had to be more careful in our own buy- ins. And that‘s a good thing too. It makes us study our business and keeps us alert. 7T he Hatch Ea“ Bailey Co. lgents—Sheetrock and Cornell Wall Boards, Oelotex Insulat. lug Lumber, McNair's Shingles, guaraiiteed for 50 years. g ‘ LAST CALL 200 Summer Wash Dresses That Formerly Sold Up to $10—Special for Saturday $1.98 J ACOBY’S 12-14 No. Main St. South Norwalk The Home of Good Clothes for Men and Women. 4-» Sterling’s Removal ' Sale EVERYTHING FOR THE HOME MUST BE SOLD REGARDLESS OF COST.

I. Ambler. proprietor of Mallelte's Store, would rather keep out of the newspapers than get in them. Despite her position in the com- munity Mrs. Ambler insists that the story of her success is of no interest . to the majority of local people. de- preciatingiy remarking that it is not spectacular enough to intrigue the average reader. Despite the fact that Mrs. Ambler humorously con- fesses that she never starved or found it necessary to fight against odds for the measure of success she has achieved, the story of this local woman pioneer in business is of unusual interest ‘ The story of ‘Mrs. Amblers career is not one of high lights and shadows. the long. hard struggle and than sudden. overwhelming suc- cess.

Mrs. Ambler saw the pros- pects and future of the city and de- termined to enter its business life. To the average young woman there was, nothing unusual and especially courageous about this act of Mrs. Ambler's; But the average reader perhaps forget that not so many years ago women still bound y the tics of domesticity and con- vention. The “nice young woman of good family" was privileged to do either one of two things. become a. housewife or a school-teacher. Mrs. Ambler did neither. Determined to be a. business wo- man she secured a. position with the R. M. Dawson Store as clerk and proceeded to learn the business. On August 15th. 1909 Mrs. Ambler be- came the proprietor of her own store. Commenting on her courage to follow out her own convictions she said with a. smile, that her story. is a very ordinary one. Yet in it there is all the evidence of the Virtues of tho every-day world. Behind it: ap— ls a high courage, a. dogged persis- tence and a. quiet. steady pushing forward to a. goal. ' V. B!

Its whole purpose is to give each office. particularly of the National Guard and the reserve of- ficers, a problem such as he would have to solve if the time came. “Another reason for Defense Day is that the people themselves may receive such instruction as is neces- sary and patriotic citizens learn something of the part they should play if armies should be necessary again. , "It is my strong belief that the cost of neglect has sunk deep into the minds of our people. and that practically all are ready to support the modest, economical. voluntary system of national defense." “I don't care so much what you would have made the n." observed the girl, wearily. “but you might try and see what kind of a good . 1.3.4.“... 2 ¥ amusements-so JAPS TO, CUT SOLDIERS FOR AIR CRAFT NewScheme Will Abol- ish Four Divisions —— To Have Chemical School Too TOKIO.
