;; A Story Showing its Change
In Halt a Century

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦❖♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
During the past half century a groat
change has come over whin we call the
dignity of labor—not that labor Is a
more honorable calling than formerly,
but it is so regarded. In America we
took originally our Ulcus concerning
trade and labor from England, where
neither was then regarded as a tit oc
cupation for a gentleman. Fifty years
ago one might not In America sell
goods at retail and muiutaiu a first
class social position. The (laughters of
gentlemen and ladies could not earn
money without being taboo by persons
of their own set.
Today our merchants and social
princes are retailers. The daughters of
well to do persons prefer to work rath-
or than wait for husbands, and many
a young man with a taste for mechan
ics prefers to make his start In the
machine shop rather than in the count
ing room.
Nevertheless snobbery lias not died
out. It will never die, tilling its ranks
mostly from the get-ricli-qulck ele
ment. Modern high social life is a
combination of refined persons and
snobs. For the snobs nothing is quite
good enough. Itellued men think little
of taking off their coats and doing a bit
of carpenter work about their homes.
Their wives are every day coming
more and more to dispense wilb hired
help.
One August day a young mu4i knock
ed at the door of Airs. Bradbury, who
lived In a small town called Glendale,
situated in a beautiful valley, and said
to her:
“I am looking for a place to spend a
month in which to regain health im
paired from overwork. I have been
told that if I can get you to take me
in 1 will be very pleasantly situated."
The lady looked the young man over
and consented to lake him to board
and treat Dim, if lie so wished, as a
member of her family. lie gave iiis
name as Charles Treat, but concerning
his antecedents or his occupation said
nothing. The accepting of Mr. Treat
as a member of the family meant lniin
to him than would til first appear.
Glendale society was more than usual
ly pleasant, and Mrs. Bradbury, whose
ancestors had been its leaders In for
mer times, though she was now poor,
retained her membership. Many good
men and women had of late years been
ndmilted to social companionship, Im
the snob had not been kept out. Nev
ertheless Glendale social life was suf
ficiently progressive to taka persons
for their intrinsic worth.
For the first week of his sojourn in
Glendale Charles Treat divided his day
between sitting on, Mrs. Rrndbury's
porch and taking walks in 1 Do country
round about. Then Mrs. Brad bury,
finding that in 1 was growing impatient
to get back to work, suggested that h<
would be better satisfied to remain if
he had some companionship and offer
ed to introduce him to the young men
and young women of the place. Treat
consented and became a member of
the younger social circle of Glendale
There were tennis courts there, in
which those devoted to outdoor sports
gathered, and Treat found the game
both attractive and of advantage to
his health. He was well liked, though
not what is called popular. Popular
young men and women in society are
usually ephemeral. Unless they have
sterling qualities they are liable to
drop out of the esteem in which they
are held, taking a back seat Among
the more refined young men and worn
en Treat was considered an equal
among those whose parents had re
eently got rich he found little favor
They required some information ns to
what was his occupation, and he did
not seem inclined to gratify their curi
osity.
Treat took more especially to tennis
than to the other methods of recrea
tion. He played a good game, though
at the time, his health having been
impaired by overwork, he did not play
a strong one. It was noticed that lie
was dreamy—that is, he was liable to
be thinking of something else than
what he was doing. On several occa
sions while at tenuis, struck by a sud
den thought while a laill was to lie
sent back, lie would let it go by with
out seeing it. This was not. acceptable
to his partner, when lie had one nnd
gained him tiie mime of “woolguther-
er." One of tDe young men who no
ticed this Idiosyncrasy declared that
Treat was either inad or a genius, add
ing that geniuses were part lunatic
nnd, uftor ail, there was not miuti
difference between the two. But the
others would not agree to this.
In these days wealth counts for so
much those possessing It naturally be
come social leaders. Among the young
Indies of Glendale was Miss Martha
Broadnax, whose father had made a
great deal of money In manufacturing
bones into fertilizing material. Miss
Broadnax, being able to entertain more
lavishly than any of the young women
in Glendale, .naturally fell into the po
of leader of the younger set.

About
Introduced f'harles Treat this young
woman hud begun to assume the right
to pass upon tiny person who was re
ceived within the circle. Not having
been consulted a* to Treat’s admis
sion, she was not especially gracious
to him. When asked for n reason for
not approving of him she said that no
one know anything about him. lie
uiiglit be a plumber; he might be h
"counter Jumper!" he might be n car
penter. Since Miss Broadnax's father
had made his money out of the bones
of rotting animals the strictures in
volved in her denunciation of tlieso oc
cupations did not come with good
grace.
A certain Miss MaeKnlght, whose fa
ther had been a judge on the bench, on
hearing of Miss Broadnax's remarks
said that the world had Improved in
its estimate of persons in separating
those of refinement from their occupa
tions; that it was possible fora plumber,
a "counter Jumper" or a carpenter to bo
a refined mini nnd It was possible for
a gentleman to engage In the manu
facture of fertilizing material.
This bit of repartee was appreciat
ed by those of the old school who wore
not especially pleased with Miss Itrml-
nax's assumption of the right to turn
down persons on account of their occu
pations. However, Miss Broadnax from
her own standpoint won a signal vie
tory.
One day an automobile drew up In
haste In front of Mrs. Bradbury's
house. Mr. Treat got out, hustled into
the car and was carried away, it so
happened that Miss Broadnax was
passing Mrs. Bradbury's at the time in
her limousine nnd, seeing tin* departure
of Mr. Treat, took it into Iter ItcSil that
he had been carried away by a plain
clothes policeman, liesolving to make
sure of the matter, site ordered her
chauffeur to follow.
Twenty miles from Glendale the auto
containing Tjyeat drew up til it large
factory. The young man nllghtcd and
entered one of the buildings. Miss
Broadnax drove tip to the ollho and.
Introducing herself ns a d liter ol
I’eter Broadnax, the great lun.uil'aelur-
or of fertilizing material, asked to be
shown through the works. Her applica
tion was granted with alacrity, ami
during her inspection she caught sight
of Charles Treat In a pair of overalls
bending over a machine.
“Greasy mechanic!" site exclaimed to
herself. "I knew there was something
tiie matter with him. if he Isn't a
criminal lie's a common laborer, nnd
that’s not much hotter." So Miss
Broadnax was driven buck to Glendale
and the next day gave out that what
ever the others of the social circle did
in tlm premises she would no longer
countenance Mr. Treat.
There was a time when her state
ment that she hud discovered that a
member of the social circle of Glendale
worked in overalls In a factory would
have been sufficient to eject him. In
the twentieth century there is a broad
er view (if such matters. Mr. Trent
was not turned down by bis associates,
but was treated by different ones in
different ways. lie returned to them
in a few days without mentioning
where lie had been and soon noticed
tlint something had happened. Sonic
of his former associates scarcely no
ticed him. some treated him as usual,
and he nntlqi'd Unit .Miss MucKnight
wits tjiitismilfy cordial.
No one felt obliged to tell Mr. Trent
he hud been Irm-kel to a factory and
had been seen in overalls, and since lie
was Ignorant of this fad smite time
was required for him to realize that he
was arhoiig certain persons persona
non grain. Naturally Miss MnoKnight's
cordial treatment of him drew him to
her, he supposing that lie was attrac
tive to her. The young lady, unwill
ing that he should mistake the cause
of tiie favor site showed him. finally
told him the story of Miss Broadnax
following him to the factory, which
explained the coolness shown him b.v
certain members of t)ie social circle.
Treat held his ground in Glendale
till 1 the last of August, when tie depart
ed, and a few days later every one of
his associates there received an invi
tation to Inspect a new cannon he had
invented at the Duckworth Arms com
pany on an early day in September,
the day after Labor day. Jt was tile
Duckworth Arms company’s factory
where Mr. Treat had been seen in over
alls.
Naturally the announcement that
Treat was an inventor and had per
fected—as he had done his own work
manship—a new cannon created quite
a stir in the Glendale seijil circle.
There were girls in that circle who
were looking out to marry an estab
lishment and would be only too glad
to marry a man in overalls if he were
a successful Inventor made rich by his
inventions. As to the young men, they
had long phased beyond the narrow
ideas of their forefathers, and there
was not one of them who would not
gladly have stepped into tiie shoes of a
man who was capable of eren trying
to invent a gun.
TDe Invitation was generally accept
ed. the only girl declining being Miss
Broadnax, she not having the face to
put in an appearance. They were re
ceived by Treat in a private room in
which he had worked out his gun
scheme, and before taking them to view
Ills gun he made them a little address,
in which he gave a brief account of his
struggles as an inventor, assuring
them thut had he not been educated
as a mechanic he could not have suc
ceeded, since a practical knowledge of
mechanics was involved In his work.
He then led them into a foundry
building In which the gun was set up.
There he explained to them thut at the
breaking out of the European war he
had been engaged in Inventing a new
cannon and had been endeavoring to
Interest the United States government
in It. but had failed. Since then he had
Induced the war department to furnish
the means to construct the gun which
they saw before them. He then gave
them a demonstration of its workings.
Treat's gun lias lately been proved
successful and a large order given for
its manufacture. It is said Uiat he la
engaged to marry Miai MaeKnlght.
Among the Monday morning culprits
haled before u Baltimore police magis

“Wnat occupation have you here in

"Well, Jedge,” said the darkey, “1

His honor turned to the clerk of the

“Please enter the fact that this

“I wonder why Miss Snow is such u

“She doesn't sing or play, or even re

Chevrolet-1916
“The Product of Experience"
H-4 Baby Grand Touring Car, $750
C, The Chevrolet Motor Company has once more doubled its manu
facturing facilities, factory organization and production in the num
ber of Chevrolet Cars. These great, increases are the results of mod
ern factory methods and the installation of special machinery
throughout all Chevrolet plants.
C, But the above alone is not responsible for our radical price re
duction on 1916 Chevrolet Cars.
C, Our price reductions arc also due to the fact that for years we
have devoted our lime, energies, and best thoughts to the manu
facture of “FOURS.” We believe in “FOURS.” We build “FOURS”
—the safe, simple, cheap to operate, thoroughly tried and proven
CHEVROLET (Valve-in-the-J load) “FOURS.”
We Build Them in the Interest of
The Consumer
C. The retail dealer must sell on a narrower margin; the distributor must sell on
a much narrower margin; and the manufacturer must sell on a very much nar
rower margin to enable the consumer to secure an honest car at so near a one
hundred per cent, value that he will not suffer a violent shrinkage in the value
of his ear when the “announcement period” arrives in the very middle of the
natural riding season.
- C. The above frank statements give the real reasons for our great reductions in
1 ( M6 prices;—and note, the cars have not been cut a single hair-line in quality.
C, Chevrolet Cars are just what thtjir builders have designed them to he—high-
class, fine, luxurious. They have no superiors in hill climbing ability, and few,
at any price, exceed them in speed performance.
