line managers reported the outward
bound traffic from the strike, districts
had increased. '
The patrol of the strike districts
by the law and order committee of
the strikers- continued to operate on
all roads leading to the .oil fields to
prevent the importation of strike
breakers. County authorities con
tinued a policy, of non-interference
with the patrol .system. ' .
The system is almost military in
its operation. Each district has a
crew of men, wearing the red, white
and blue badges of the "law and or
der committee," and usually the
union button as well. These men
work in regular shifts, with motor
cycle carriers, a signal system and
headquarters whence they depart for
patrol, and where they return foi
rest and meals. ' 1 '

levied a little fine of $100 and costs.

Good Merchandising
Whiit has brou(iit Bnnnlein Store.,
to its present proportions? The on
wcr is "fiood Jlerchandising."
What docs thnt mean? First it menus
recognition of the fact that the cus
tomer and his welfare stand pre
eminent. In other words his money
moves the goods and builds the busi
ness. He is, therefore, entitled to
prime consideration and must be
come thoroughly satisfied with his
purchase as well as with the service
given him. It means, also, systenintic
survey of the markets to the end that
every opportunity for bargains bo
seized for the advantage of Hrandcis
Stores and its customers. It moans
capable and experienced buyers in
order that desirable merchandise
may be obtained. It means ability to
, pay cash which so often brings about
exceptional bargains. It means re
duction in priees to the customer at
the earliest possiblo moment and at
every opportunity. It means oblig
ing, prompt, efficient service. In
short, it means the prices, the quali
ty, the service that satisfies the man
or the woman whose money makes
possible the business success. Be
cause tho Brandcis Stores' manage
ment recognizes these truths Bran- ,
deis Stores stands conspicuous
among the big business houses of the
country even as it looms largo in the
hearts of its well satisfied customers.
Come and see and you will stay
and shop and come again for other
