We Do Upholstering and Repair Work Christ & Christ PHONE 645 1 18-122 So. 6th St. Plattsmouth, Neb. We kid ourselves more than we realize. For instance, it is frequent ly claimed that Americans are "speed bugs'' living at high nervous tension, rushing and hustling at break-neck pace. We've been told thia Most us be lieve it. Quite naturally, it gratifies our vanity to fancy ourselves im portant actors in an environment that demands hurry. But suppose you are a city man in a real rush. Trying to get to the hank. say. before it closes. You have to dodge and shove through crowds that seem half-asleep and in process of petrification. The crowd moves slowly lazy, ambling, poky. That's really the case. It doesn't just seem that way because you're in a hurry. Speed bugs? Who laughed? Here's a man who works and walks along leisurely, on the side walk or in store, office or factory. He's the genuine typical American. This man arquirts an auto. As soon as he gets at the wheel, he feels the urge of the speed craze Wants to get to his destination quickly. Usually it's a great rush without cause. Many a business executive risks arrest by breaking speed laws on his way to the office. Arrived there, he caiiniy looks over tne paper or goes into conference," where he often ex ea jokes and experiences and otherwise kills time. )r he's driving into the country to buy fresh eggs and butter. To watch his auto, you'd think he was driving an ambulance. t the heart of city traffic prob lems is this psychological truth: We have two distinct elements to deal .ith. First is the autoist, who wants to speed. Second is the pedes trian chronically slow moving. When these two factions cross each other's paths, we have the same problem as when a cow leisurely crosses the railroad track used by fast train?. Traffic cops try to slow down the motorists and speed up the pedes trians. Instinctively they attempt to bring the two streams of traffic to about the same average speed. It can't be done. A typical American on wheels is a speeder at heart. A typical Amer ican walking wants to take his time. Eventually the big cities probably will have streets with two levels. Pedestrians will have the regular streets, autos will travel along on elevated roadways or through sub ways. Some such definite separa tion of traffic will become necessary, at least at 6treti intersections, if the number of autos continue?-, increasing. :o: CHRISTMAS IS IN EVIDENCE AT THE LOCAL STORES HOME PURCHASING AGENTS Women are the purchasing agents for the families of today. Adapted by training and instinct, women buy the merchandise needed in the home. Women supervise the family budget and supply the family needs. The merchant who expects to be come successful must follow the ex ample of older, more experienced merchants by addressing his sales talks to women. To reach the wom en, he must use the newspaper wom en read most attentively. He must advertise in the evening newspaper if he wishes to get the best results from his advertising appropriation. From early morning until her fam ily is settled down for the evening, the average housewife is busy. She hasn't time to read a newspaper dur ing the day. Her schedule doesn't permit her to ait down and enjoy leisurely perusal of the morning newspaper. But after the day's work is done, the average housewife settles down to enjoy the fresh evening new-paper. The news of .he day. the house hold hints and tJ,.e advertisements meant for her all are "rused thor oughly. The evening newspaper is the most welcome visitor the housewife greets, for it comes at the hour when she feels the need of getting in touch with the outside world. The evening newspaper is the ad vertising medium which the mer chant must use in order to reach the housewife, in whom the buying I power of the average family centers. The Daily Journal is the Platts mouth HOME newspaper.
