WHAT GOES ON IN
EVERY HOME !
0 Watch in, your own home how The Huron Expositor -'or any
other good newspaper -is read. Possibly the weather for the day
or the morrow is a first matter of interest; and perhaps the main
headlines on the front page are scanned; but it is a' pretty safe
thing to say that women readers will turn very early to the ad-
vertisements of local firms which advertise fashion items, food
items, and other offerings related intimately to current needs
and desires.
® Every woman knows what she wants -not perhaps in the
precise form of color, or variety or manner, but certainly in the
main matters of her desire or need. This applies to clothes, hats,
shoes, food items, beauty, preparations and many items pertain-
ing to home furnishing. And so women are eternally on the
watch for information -and for temptation! They are swiftly
, perceptive of the advertisements which present and propose the
things of their desire or need. And obviously it is those retailers
- who advertise to them who stand the best chance of their custom.
e It is the same in the case of men. Few men buy impulsively.
When they leave home each day for their place of employment,
it is not just to get rid of their money. What they buy is mainly
something whose purchase has been planned -clothes or other
forms of apparel, hardware items, motoring sundries, shaving
and other bathroom needs, plants, booksy and so on. Men, like
women, have been reading advertisements in line with their
ripening desires and intentions, and of course they go in larg-
est numbers, to those retailers who have been informing them
and soliciting their custom.
• All of us, instinctively, go where the light is, not where the
darkness is, Advertisements are light, and so they attract the
buyers to those stores which they illumine.
0 The way to get business is to ask for it. Can the truth of
this statement be successfully disputed? And here is another
. equally true statement: The public buys from those who invite
its custom. I

just 30 years ago I Tead1 about a
remarkable 'steel -tape phonograph.
T1be quality of the recording did not
deteriorate with time, yet the tape
could be wiped clean like a slate by
passing a magnet over it, and, be us-
ed again and again, thousands of
timee. So far as I know, nothing was
done about this until within the past
two or three years. Now several
great European newspapers employ it
to ,record, over the long-distancetele,
phone, the dispatches dictated by
their foreign correspondents. Should
not this invention have made obsolete
many years ago, all aur present phon
ographs and dictating machines?
Years ago it was announced thai
devices had been perfected througT
which an entire symphony could be
placed on one slide of a single, 'phono

phonograph equipped to use it. The
only device of thds sort now available

Carefftj after an automobile accident
as you wish you had been before it.
Otherwise you stands an even chance
of becoming one mom vdcttm of Am-
erica's most popular raCleet, the Pad-
ded ,shins for accident Idlaamagest--one
,more reason why ,automobile di
ance, mates are as high as they acre.
John Mead 'thought 'he W40 careful,
and considerate. The road was 'icy,
the light turned red, hie ,set his brakes,
too late, and said gently into the car
ahead, Bump. Botch dadvems got o'ut
to inspect the dlamage�--obviously triv-
daL "Forget it, Mis,ter,', said the
stranger, "I hardly felt lit." Not to
be outdone, Mead replied, "Get that
tall -light fixed and send me 'the 'bill,"
Two months later Mead got a let-
ter from a lawyer demanding settle-
ment for the stranger's dleatilh, ,Ise had
died of pneumonia brought on, his
widow insisted_, by that bump the had
"'hardly fedt." This story, supported
by'medical witnesses who merely test-
ified that it could have happened, mat
that it actually ddd:, seemed plausible
enough for a jury to award the wi-
dow $15,000. John Mead; was dr{ariu
ed for only) $10,000. A mortgage on
his home mads up the 'difiierence.
Here, ,as Mead''s insurance man
wearily •pointed out, was the perfect
claim racket recipe. Such a sequence
of events 'placed 'before a .sym,pathe-
tic jury ,may result in a big money
verdlet.;anywh>er+e inthe United States.
But'Wad was not blameless: iris miry
acceptance of liability, his failure to
secure one :shred ,of defense testi-
mony, made ''frim easy 'prey.
The best way to avoid -settling such.
a trap for yourself is not to thare an
accident at all. But 'i'nlsurance statis-
tics predict you will, have one sooner
or later, and they" show ,that 50 per
cent. of smash-ups (become a target
for ,the accident fortune-hunter. You
can protect yourself' df you cover the
significant -points of evi'dtenee; fail to
use eyes, ears. .,and notebook, and
you're fair game.
First of all, see -to the injumed.
Whein injuries are obvious, ands 9,e
vere, call ,a;n ambulance or a doctor.
Don't .try to move the wounded your-
self, except as a last resort. Ask ev-
eryone involved, "Are you bu'rt?" and
if the answer is, "I'm all righq--just
a bump," don't ]'et that suffice. Insist
.that such people be 'promptly and com-
pletely examined. A medical report
will be extremely useful. There are
countless cases -on record in which
-someone apparently` only slightly in-
jured' turned up months Pater with a
gigantic claim" for real or fancied
damages. .
One man, involved in a slight acci-
dent, said the was unhurt, though he
might have. banged himself on the
door of the car. Later he sued far
$50,000, cladmdrig that ,the bruise had
aggravated his hernia, requiring $6,-
000
6:000 worth of abdominal surgery. Med-
ical experts contended that 41he aeci-
dent had' nothing to do with his plight,
But 'no investigation had 'been made
alt the time, and 'the jury iteldeved the
man's plausible story.
Next, call a poldeeman or a state
trooper. Jot down the mumnbee of his
sllueldt, see to -i -t that he notes all the
essential facts. And if the other fel-
low was violating traffic laws, don't
be soft-hearted. ' Ask the officer to
fine a complaint. It's your job to
keep the -coach straight.
