And one of the youngest. You and I know that a man never really gets old until he begins to "let-well-enough- one. When you start in doing that, you begin to do a lot of sitting down.

And one of the youngest. You and I know that a man never really gets old until he begins to "let-well-enough- one. When you start in doing that, you begin to do a lot of sitting down. Right then you kind of begin letting things slide. That very day you are starting in to be an old man. You don't catch this man Barbe doing much sitting or any sliding. He is right on his toes. Here's evidence that he is, in. the fine show house he had us finish for him in time for his friends to see who went to the S. A. F. Convention. The flower shop is several steps above the greenhouse which gives a splendid view of everything on the benches. Seeing how carefully worked out and thoroughly well built the house was right down to every last little detail, made a lot of the Convention visitors sit right up and take notice. It made two men totally change their ntinds about con- struction and constructing firms and to whom to give their greenhouse order. When their houses are up we will show you photos and re- mind you of this little talk we had together. Next time you go into a Ligg-ett drug store, just notice how everything possible is on show. With their thousands of stores they have found it pays. Everybody who walks alonf^; this street can't help but see Barbe's goods on display in his big glass show case. [or4>&BqnihamiS.
