Price making is the least of the merchandising arts. Quality at a bargain price is the supreme evidence of superb ority! In this latter respect we excel. You buy a something at Bennett's,' you know the Bennett guarantee is in it, through it and back of it. It means much to be able to say "I bought it at Ben nett's," It is the evidence of shrewd merchandising on your part, and it isa positive proof of de pends bleness.

There is such a tlung as "living up to one's automobile," and the tendency in that direction Is felt In the e xjiense account. The Reviews writer Insists that he repre sents the average in automobiling. "Some perpi," he Buys, "are more fortunate and economical than I have been, and, on the other band, the sport can be made to cost u-.y sum that a man's purse will stand."

The machine costs a lot more, although It has a much wider radius of action. Its dejreclation in value Is rapid 60 per cent In two years but this item should be reduced with the perfection of the cars. Tet, in spite of the exiense of maintaining aulomobiUs. and "living up" to them, there were 2C.O0U new onea sold In this country n the last year It is esti mated that LO.utiO new cars will lie sold tha coming ear, if prosperity continues. If the purchasers pay fl,(iu,iKi for them and spend ITij.Ouu.lv) more in running them for a aeas n, the coming year's automobile bill begins to be dimly appreciated. But the machine has come to stay, and, when the extravagant une of It as a toy has ended, it will settle down to its true place In ttie national housekeeping. SprlngfleJd Repub lican.

" 'For nothing,' I replied, 'except the privilege of appealing to the generosity of the companies. Every one of your policies contains conditions which exempt the com pany from liability In aeven cases of loss out of ten. If the compunie Insist on ths letter of the iKilicies and will pay no more than tiiey can be compelled to pay you will get only a very small portion of your insurance.' ' 'But,' said he, 'I accepted these policies without reading them. I did not know even the names of the companies. It hat been my custom for years to give my ln aurance to a broker, a very good fellow, who parceled It out as be pleased. A little of the business J turned over to the widow of an old friend, who has dependent chil dren, and Is struggling to make a living by aollciting Insurance.
