One Prices dnd No Monkey Business LOOKING BACKWARD The monthly publication, the Maytag News, issued by the Maytag Co., of Newton, Iowa, has a num ber of portraits of the various deal ers in this line of machines, and among: these are two of the Platts mouth men. The friends of Frank Bestor and William A. Swatek would have a hard time in telling the two good looking youths whose pictures appear in the publication with the two gentlemen that comprise the firm of Bestor and Swatek, not that the firm has deterioated in their good looks but have grown more mature in looks while the pictures that were printed covered the years bef are either Frank or Bill were very far along the road of life. Frank is winsome with kilts and curls at three years of age while Bill is a schoolboy of some twelve years old and was evidently the sheik of his particular school.
