E TOWN 'CTOR (The Doctor of Towns) Says ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST IS SOLD AT A .DISCOUNT There is an old and very true saying that"What the eye'does- n't see; the heartdoesn't fancy, but it is also true that the eye sees many things that blind the heart to that which it ,otherwise would fancy. How oftenhave you seen a blemish on the face of another wise beautiful woman, so noticeable that whenever you looked at her; you could not keep your eye off the blemish? She might be wonderfully gowned, marvelously groomed and exquisitely coiffed, but try as you might, you could see only the mar. The l appearance of anything either repels or invites owner- ship. Eighty per cent, of those things sold today are purchased through, or thepurchaser is influenced by, the eye. What a thing lookslike, therefore, is extremely 'important in creating a desire in the minds of others for it. . The appearance of a town is just as important as the appear- ance of a package, the appearance of a show window, .clothing; or anything that is purchased in the store or on the market: Why do they put colored picture wrappers on cans of beans corn acid tomatoes—it doesn't make the contents of the can any bet. ter: Why . do automobile manufacturers spend so much time, care and money on the exterior appearance of the motor car—it doesn't make the motor run any smoother or last any :longer, or make the car ride any easier. Any package, even though the contents -•'lie unharmed, deprec- iates in value if the cover is soiled, torn,` or the least bit mutilated. Furniture with least scratch; a suit, though never worn, that has fad- ed a book with a broken .coves; a shirt with a torn tail, are less than the best and so sold at a discount. A perfect animal with a skin -blemish never takes the prize. Look arotuid you and see all these things that are made to look attractive, in order that you may be attracted, thereby -then, think` of your town. The picture of many communities,would serve well for a puz- zle picture of."What's Wrong Here?" Stand back and take a good look at the picture of your own front yard, your stogie, your office building, your factory. Does it look good or are you half shay asham- ed of it? Are you proud of it, or do you .apologize for the looks of it when company .calls or people start talking about it? Selling a town—and to keep pace with modern times, it must be sold -is like selling anything else. Therefore,' bow your town looks is of vital importance. There are few towns that are • not very much like the '"otherwise, beautiful woman"—their beauty is marred by blemislies so that the beholder cannot see the attractiveness for looking at the scars. Do Your part -set an example by eliminating the scars, the blemishes of your corner and others will do likewise. It's poor • business to allow the value of your community to be discounted by •a poor appearance. Copyright, ••1929, A. D. Stone, Reproduction prohibited in ' whole or in part.

They were Captain Bunker, former master of the freighter Havilah, and Captain T. M. Hewison, master of the Sal- vage King, the former being a passenger on the giant passenger liner. The ;tug after sixty days out of her own.port was returning after performing the heroic feat of tow- ing the disabled freighter Havilah from Dutch Harbour, Alaska, to Osaka, Japan,Athrough days of constant gales, terrific seas and under almost every kind of marine handicap, a distance of 3,100 miles •..• tiff 4�n Inset, Captain J. M. Eetvison of tba Salvage Icing, 'which is seen above, left, the Canadian Pacific S.S. Empress of France.. in the treacherous Bering Sea and stormy. North Pacific. Atone time with fifty foot waves dashing over both vessels and only a fitful moon peering through' snow -filled darkness, .the deckload of lumber on the 9,000 ton Havilah shifted and her steering gear went awry and she listed over fast. The "S.O.S.” and fateful message "We are sinking” went out by morse to the little 1,000 ton Salvage King, lifeboats were swung out, and Wren stood by ready to sever the steel tow line with an acetylene torch. The freighter survived the storm, however, and was towed through gales and mountainous seas for nine more days to Osaka, Japan, covering 3,100 miles in 25 days. When she met the Empress of France, on which the captain and crew of the freighter were pas- sengers, she was completing a voy- age of 101,000 miles after having performed a task that no other salvage vessel on the Pacific had been able to undertake.
