“A DERN FINE SENSE OF PROPITTY"
NEW YORK — (AP) — Howdy,
stranger.
Like our town? Sure I'll be glad
Ao tell you something about it. Sit
down and rest your feet.
Welg ir, it’s small as towns go—
only 1 éz deres. But there’s only
54 cities in the U. 8. A. with
more’n our 160,000 population. We
do count our daily visitors in that
figure, but the Chamber of Com
merce in your town probably does,
;i‘o'o*.
B¢ ocourse, you town may not
‘average 128,000 visitors a day.
Qurs does.
What brings ’em here, stranger?
Why, to do business and see the
sights—mostly.
Yep, there are only fifteen build
ings. But you just tell me where
vou can find fifteen anywhere like
‘em—and I'll eat ’em. Cost $74,-
000,000, they did. 1
What’s inside ’'em® Stranger, 'm
afraid to begin telling. Well.|
there’s 215 elevators, 10,105,000
rivets and 138,392 tons of steel.
Yes, and there’s twelve escala
tors, 28,000 telephones, 16,500 win
dows,. 25 restaurants, more’n 200‘
stores, an 800-car garage and 1,100
business tenants. And they're
prompt with the rent, too.
Have To Be
They have to be. Our town pays
$3,000,000 real estate taxes, And
we fork out $3,500,000 rent every.
year to help keep neighbor “lke”
Eisenhower’s seminary running up
there in the suburbs. Yes, that’s
right—Columbia University owns
the ground.
What else have we got? Stran
ger, we got what all you want. You
cap buy anything here from a
canary to Jack Benny. Oh, no, I'm
wrong there. Jack Benny was
bought out of here the other day.
Well, sir, we got 20 foreign con
sulates here, two radio networks,
12 airlines, 36 travel bureaus and
20 rdilroad offices—almost. You
can get a passport here, a perma
nent wave, have your eyeglasses
repaired, your teeth filled or your
finger bandaged. We even got a
drugstore that still sells aspirin
tablets. But we don’t have a hotel
or a jail.
. No, stranger, you can’t get
buried here. You got me there.
But if you're tired of living we

t{that. 1 guess, though, our town
isn’t for folks in a hurry to die.

' | hurry—and just die in the process.
1| What’s that? Do we have cul=

L with culture, We got an outdoor

,sgot the largest indoor movie par
lor in the world—seats 6,200, And
it doesn’t show double features

Culture. You talk about culture.
'| Why, we got schools here where
| you can learn to play golf or say
| “Pariez Vous”—in French, We got
| the largest air-conditioned build
ling in the world—l 9 stories. We
| got the largest broadcasting studi(){
lin the world. Yep, seats 1,200-
thousewives usually. Must be wives.l
| There' aren’t that many men out}
{of work.
' None Like Ours '
Oh, T tell you, stranger, there
never was a town like ours. Some
times T almost wished I lived in
{it. We got the fastest moving
| stairway in the world—l2s feet a
I minute. We got the largest chan
delier in the world—weighs six
tons and has 590 bulbs, all elec
tric. That movie parlor I men
| tioned has the world’s largest in
| door screen and the world’s largest
{indoor stage. /
, Now wait a minute, stranger, I
know you’re beginning to think
{l'm the world’s largest outdoor
Jliar. But I ain't. We got a 150~
voice choir and 100 statues and
murals. Remember the hanging
| gardens of Babylon, one of the
seven wonders of the world? Just
a rosebud. We got rooftop gardens
four times as large.
Who’s the big family in our
town, stranger? W-e-e-11, we got a
lot of big families here. But 1
guess you might say the Rch&El
lers are the biggest. In fact we
named our town after them—
| Rockefeller Center. They own it—
pretty much.
You got to leave now? Sorry.
Why don’t you drop by and say
hello to Mr. Rockefeller, stranger?
He’s right neighborly. They all
are. You remember his father—
old John D.? Used to be in the oil

THE STORY: When Susan and
Carter Bagby come back from
their honeymoon, Aunt Jane
goes home. Merry and Carter
don’t get along and Merry jumps
at her father’s invitation to
spend Christmas with him and
Lissa in New York. Lissa is a
gracious, attractive woman and
Merry senses that her father's
second marriage is a happy one,
* * *

Lissa slipped a hand through
Merry’s arm and drew hér down
three steps into an enormous liv
ing room, where an open fire
burnéd beneath a beautiful Adam
mantel, and where a voung man
stood waiting, his hair darkly red,
his eyes gray, his alert, deeply sun
tanned face rugged and, if not
handsome, so very attractive that
Merry had a confused feeling she
had seen him in the movies.
“This, Merry,” said Lissa, indi
cating the smiling, lazy - eyed,
amusing young man, “is something
I trapped for you as soon as I
knew you were coming. His name
is Channing, Mike Channing. Cf
course, if you don’t think you're
going to love him, we can throw
him back.” .
Mike’s eyes were on Merry's
scarlet face, and he said sternly
to Lissa, “Hush! You’re embar
rassing the child.”
Lissa looked at Mery, her eye
brows raised.
“Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Am I
embarrassing vou?” she asked, as

Merry laughed. “Well, after all,
I am only an unsophisticated coun
try gal and I don’t know the game
you're playing.”
Lissa nodded. “Oh, well, Mike
will teach you, won’t you, dar
ling?”
“But of course, Why else am 1
here?” said Mike reasonably. “How
about trotting along to dinner,
Merry?”
“Not tonight, Mike, thanks. Mer
ry and Lissa and I have.to catch up
on the home-town gossip,” ‘ob
jected Kin, and Merry was almost
passionately grateful for the pro
test.
Mike nodded. “Of course; sorry.
i am a thoughtiess brute. Natural
ly you'd like a glimpse of your
child. But make good use of to
night, old man. For tomorrow I'm
taking over. There are many
things I fain would show the lass.”
He took himself off, and Lissa
said lightly, “You’ll want to see
your room, Merry. Come along.”
Kin patted her shoulder as she
passed, and Lissa gave him a
bright-eyed smile, but did not
pause. Merry followed her to a
small but charming bedreom, in
which pale yellow walls, ‘a ‘green
wall-to-wall carpet and several
artfully placed mirrars give an im
pression of greater space. A mid
dle-aged Frenchwoman with a
rather séur exprdssioh ‘was un
packing Merry’s bags, and she
looked up as Merry followed Lissa
We cordially invite you to see the new Chevrolet

““Mathilda, this is Miss Merry,”
said Lissa.
Mathilda gave Merry a glance
and murmured acknowledgment
and went on shaking out and hang
ing up Merry’s belonxinqs. <
“l do hope ycu haven’t brought
a lot of things, Merry,” said Lissa
brightly. “I've ‘been looking for
ward to a shopping spree. I've al
ways thought it would be grand
fun to have a pretty daughter to
shop for.” She glanced at her
watch. “Well, I'll be running along
now. Dinner is in an hour,”
She went out, and Mathilda,
hanging up the last garment, said
brusquely to Merry, “Will there
be anything else, Mam’zelle? Shall
I prepare your bath?”
“Oh, goodness, no, thanks. I'll
manage.” Merry was a litfle
abashed by Mathilda.
“Mam’zelle will, perhaps, wear
the blue net? I will have it pressed
and returned to Mam’zelle in
time,” said Mathilda, and took her
self off with Merry’s best formal
over her arm.
Obviously, Merry told herself,
only her very best frock was grand
enough for dinner there at home,
her father’s home; only it was
probably much more Lissa’s home,
because Merry felt quite sure her
father wasn’t rich enough to afford
a penthouse like that.
At dinner, Kin and Merry chat
tered about Marshallville, while
Lissa looked on, obviously not the
least bit bored. Afterwards, there
was a new musical and a night
club. The whole evening was a
bright picture to Merry, who went
to bed feeling that she was the
luckiest girl in the world.
The following morning Lissa
took her shopping, and though
cars at the lowest prices and with the low cost of
operation and upkeep for whicl.l Chevrolet producté
have always been famous.
Yes, here’s the newest of a‘ll new cars—preteste.|
and preproved on the great General Motors
Proving Ground—and predestined to win even
wider preference for Chevrolet as the most beautiful
b'ué/ of all, from every point of view and on every
prnt of value. Come in and see it!
Merry’s eyes shone with delight'
and she was ecstatic at the extent
of the purchases, she was also a
little appalled. And when she and
Lissa were back in the apartment
that evening, she said awkwardly,
“You are terribly good to me, Lis~
sa, only haven't we been terribly
extravagant today? I mean—well,
I don’t want to run Dad into bank- ..
ruptcy.” : J
Lissa smiled at her. «
“Don’t be frightened, Merry.'
The shopping today was my gift.|\
After all, if T can’t make Kin’s;

Merry gasped. “A little present? |
Lissa, my gosh! A fur coat, heaps |
of darling frocks—golly, 1 can’t’
even remember what all we
bought! More clothes than I could '
ever wear out if I lived to be a“
hundred.” '
Lissa’s smile deepened.
“I wouldn’t worry about that!
The life we're planning for you to
lead is a bit hard on clothes. With
in a month you'll be complaining
you simply haven’t a thing to
wear!”
