Taylor, man ager and proprietor of Michael's Beauty Shop, one of the busiest beauty parlors in the city. “More people are bobbing their hair, too,” Mr. Taylor said, “and the croquinol wave. seems to be ione of the most popular types of hair-dress in the past decade. Of course, the Eugene wave and per manent are still used a great deal, and our operators are kept busy practically all the time with one or the other.” [ Mr. Taylor opened the beauty shop on the mezzanine floor of Michael’'s Dry Gbods store seven years ago, with two operators. Today he has eight girls working for him. All of them have certifi cates except one, who is still an apprentice. One worker is espec ially trained for facials, although all of them are experts at this work. : This spring, due to the increased size of the patronage, it was found necessary to move the beauty parlor from the mezzanine to the first floor where it is on a different level and more private. There are 11 booths, and two large drying rooms in addition to the waiting room. The latest appliances are used to insure fine work, and for the most part are electrical. All the girls . working here have been "tr&ined to handle these machines, and they insure safety, comfort \and satisfaction. No better advertisement for this enterprise is needed than the large, satisfled clientele. Located conveniently and doing work of the highest quality, Michael’s Beauty Shop stands as one of the leading businesses of the city, Economy Auto Stores Serve : Large Clientele Carrying one of the largest and m,ost' complete stocks of auto ac cessories including radios for cars and receiving sets for home or of fice, together with a complete line of oils and greases, and parts for many cars, the Economy Auto Stores offers all at engaging sum mer prices, ; Manager E. C. Crymes, since opening the store in Athens at East Clayton street, has popu-1 larized it with the motorists of ‘thig section, and attracted a large patronage from motorisy and gar ages in the trade teritory. Howard Morgan, well known in this district and experienced in this work, is associated with Mr, Crymes, The line embraces many of the most widely known and nationally advertised lines of accessories and supplies, and includes Pennsylvania tires and 100 per cent pure Penn sylvania oils. Summer touring calls for many accessory conveniences that even the latest model cars do not carry ag standard equipment, and these are offered at special low prices. In addition to these needed acces sories to make motor tripg a pleas ure, there are a hundred and one¢ extra partg and auxiliary supplies that the auto owner who is off for a vacation trip likes to be provided with and to carry along to save annoyance and to make a trip free of troukle. Extra parts and accessories that can be purchasged at Economy Auto Stores and at econamy prices will lassure such a trip. ! There are many other things here that most every one needs about the store, office, ga rage or home, including a line of tools that are useful at all times. Batterieg and battery supplies are also carried at surprisingly low ‘prices. Havingan average altitude above sea level of 6,800 feet, Colerado is the highest state in the Union, with Wyoming a close second. “Hom-Ond’’ Food Store Popularity Increases From Month to Month ~ The increasing popularity of Bell's “Hom-Ond” Food store, on the corner of Lumpkin and Wash ington streets, is surprigsing, even to those associated with its opera tion, and sales in this store are constantly growing from month to month. Several importaat factors have played their part in this success. The proprietors, Fred F. Bell and his sons, G. H. and H., E. Bell, were determined to acquaint the good people of Athens and vicinity with the high quality foods which they offered for sale and the ex ceptionally low prices at which they could be obtained. They choose the advertising columns of the Banner-Herald to accomplish this. No finer foods are to be found than are carried in the stocks of this store, Quality is never sacri ficed for price in the selection of foods to be sold, and customers expect finer foods at reasonable prices each time they shep here. The clerks employed are always cheerful, courteous and sincerse in serving their customers, and these qualities have won the confidence of hundreds who shop here from week to week., Sales have mors than doubled in the past 24 months and plans are now being made for enlarged facilities to serve a larger clientele. ’ Telephone and prompt delivery service is another popular feature of Bell's and cusvomers may feel confident they will receive ths same careful attention in the se lection of their foods as if they were making their own selections.
