COLLEGE DEPARTMENT STORE
— Daily Arrivals of New Spring Merchandise —
New Dresses, Suits, Coats, Shoes and Novelties. They Are Prettier Than Ever Before
And the Most Attractive Part Is the LOW PRICES. “Your Satisfaction Our Aim’’
RALPH SIMMERSON INSTALLS
NEW TYPE MACHINES
Sr. Ralph Simmtnon closed a
deal Tuesday for the purchase of
Bear's special wheel and alignment
equipment for the haadling, inspec
tion and adjustment of all cat* in
cluding knee action, type. This equip
ment is purchased at a big expense
and will be the only machinery for
this work in this section of the
state.
Mr. Simmerson said the new equip
ment would arrive within two weeks
and would make it possible for his
repair department to align and
straighten axles without removing
them from the car, to straighten
frames and make other alignments
to place the cars to factory specifi
cations. “Misalignment causes acci
dents and tires to wear because the
car shimmy* and steering is diffi
cult", Mr. Sinhmeraon said. The
equipment is designed for all types
of cars and gives a check on the
shcel, axle and streefing assembly.
The Simmerson garage is Buick-
Pontiuc dealer headquarters and is
one of the best equipped in the state.
The addition of the Bear wheel
allinging, axle and frame straighten
ing system will make possible cer
tain types of work to the suto owner
at factory specifications.

A&P, celebrating Founder's Week,
honors the memory of George Hunt
ington Hartford, a down cast Yan
kee who revolutionized the retail
food business.
Young Hartford, coming to New
York in the late 1850 s found him
self in a position to buy a shipload
of tea, thereby cutting out many ex
pensive profits which wero normally
involved in auch a transaction. As
result. Hartford was able to offer
the tea at retail at about half the
usual price.
Though many other concerns have
adopted the methods instituted by
Hartford, it remains for AAP to
honor his memory with a special
week when both employees and cus
tomers are reminded of the methods
he instituted.
Old Man Weather is not thinking
of putting his winter temperatures
into a bag and hiking back to the
cold regions yet
Emerging from the coldest weath-
erer of the season, a crucial season
al test was faced Friday Feb. 2
ground hog day.
This is the day, R will be recalled,
when the small animal is said to ven
ture out of his snog burrow for a
look around. If it's dear enough for
him to see his shadow back he goes
into his hole for another snooze of
six weeks, which presages that win
ter will last that much longer. If it’s
murky and there is no ahawod he
stays out to await the spring that’s
just around the corner.
Friday the groundhog saw his shad
dow, got frightened and went back
into his hole, and mix more weeks of
cold weather will descend upon the
country.
According to the old German folk
lore. “if the bear, badger or the
woodshuck—which is the groundhog
nes out at noon on February 2
iee his shadow he -will not come
out again for six weeks and in the
meantime rough, cold weather will
remain during that period.”
According to the ancient tradition,
this day was long ago set aside as
Candehnas day, which is celebrated
in the Catholic church by a cere
mony with candles. The early Ger-
bclieved that if “Candelmas be
fair and clear corn and fruits w : ll
then be dear”.
'A shepherd would rather see a
wolf enter his fold than see the sun
shine on Candelmas day”, says an
odd story.
'If Candlemas be fair and bright,
winter will have another flight, but
if it brings clouds and rain, winter
is gone snd won’t come again.”
