Our Salesroom Is Open Evenings and Sundays, Lions Offer Aid To Pueblo Comrades Members Hear Optimistic Talk By Leader in Business at Weekly Luncheon. Charles Duffy, president of the Ad-Selling League and head oi the advertising department of M. E. Smith & Company, spoke before the members of the Lions club at their weekly luncheon at the Rome hotel Tuesday noon. "Business is a matter of relativity," Mr. Duffy said. "During the war business was so good and money came in so easily everybody was happy. Following the war there was a depression, that was natural. Then came up a chorus of discontentment from every hand. The fall from a large volume of business to a smaller made every one unhappy. "Had business taken a mora sud den drop after the war, conditions would have been much worse. Com pared to what might have happened had this sudden fall materialized, business of the present day is good, in fact very good and growing better each day." Mr. Duffy declared that courage and the ability to keep one's head up in spite of reverses were essentials to every successful man. During the meeting the Lions adopted resolutions offering the Lions of Pueblo any help they might ask for. They also voted to tender their sympathies to Eddie Guest, of Detroit, poet and writer, vhoc little daughter recently died. -Mr. Guet was made an honorary member of the Lions club on his recent visit to Omaha.
