People of ordinaiy mental -development can ojhly guess and wonder what the future has in store,* * ■ ; v There can be no profit in sight, the question is whether buckle and tongue can be made to meet. • • Athens management has always insisted ; oh good equip ment and so long as the road is operated it is our purpose to keep the cars clean and wholesome and the mechanical and electrical equipment is absolutely safe operating condition. So the solution seems to be on the other side of the ledger, the question of fares and receipts. The fare that will meet the views of a majority of the peo ple and induce the most riding at a profit is the problem to be solved. There is no solution to the great stumbling block, the friendly free riding habit.

We have tried five cent, six cent and seven cent cash fares without meeting the mounting costs of operation. (We are paying oUr car operators eight times as much per hour as their predecessors were paid thirty years ago and twice as much as they were paid in 1915. Among other cities in the United States and Canada, sta tistics show there are now 34 with 5 cent cash fares, 101 with 6 cent cash, 175 with 7 cent cash, 78 with 8 cent cash, 4 with 9 cent cash and 145 with 10 cent caSh. In most of these cities tickets or tokens are also sold at 6 1-4 cents, 7 cents or 8 cents. »• ■ . ’ ! . , , Walaco Reid with Agnes Ayres an d May McAvoy At Palace Monday. We have tried 5 cent, 6 cent and 7 cent cash. The record .above would indicate that a combination of a higher cash rate for transients and a better ticket rate for home folks would be good business and we have determined therefore in view of the fact that our receipts are hot meeting the costs of operation, to ask the Utilities Commission, to sanction a 10 cent cash fare and a 7 cent ticket sold five for thirty-five cents. We would appreciate the cooperation of our patrons in a trial of this plan which eliminates the penny, gives our home people an advantage over transient and follows the lines that have proved most successful in most other cities with similar problems.

It 3s always with me, guiding me in 9ny pleasures and in my duties, tel- ding me what I should eat, wear, ;and use and what I should buy for *~y family. They mean convenience. It is not necessary to describe the thing I want. Even the most in timate articles may be purchas ed without embarrassment since the advertisers have given us handy names. r I find that there is on the tip. of f ny tongue a multitude of names he mention of which will bring tfroip some shelf nearly everything llhat I can use in my daily life and Jjn the daily life of my family. | In every instance that name |neans a very definite promise and Insurance of something., substan tial and which will make me feel completely satisfied about having exchanged my money for, it. Let me say a few things which ese names—these old friends of e newspaper and • magazine ages—mean to me. They mean good taste. For cer- ainly I desire to. do the thing that ■ believe discriminating people lave judged J>esL — ... They mean assurance in shop ping. There is no indecision. Even before I enter the shop I know what I want to buy. And certainly they mean sat isfaction.* For the advertiser whose product is. not good can not continue to advertise. The t fact" that T have, seen a name re- ' fleated over and over again as sures me that it stands for a product of quality. In speaking that name to the clerk I know I am asking for the best. I am a more judicious shop per because I buy advertised goods. I patronize the shop that sells them. 4 Published byKhc'sunner-llerpId ij n ' forth Into U»e world SSSSB The Palace-Anniversary Week: The Palace Theatre celebrates Its second Anniversary week start ing Monday with tho greatest pro gram of stars and pictures ever presented in Athens In one week showing.
