The stage. The old stage of the past is gono.driven out the march
of improvement. The live horse has been supplanted by the iron
horse, the picturesque driver by the jolly engineer. Notwithstanding
this fact there are thousands of people still anxious to go "on the
stage." Why! oh, why don't somebody write a new farce comedy
for the stage, one that won't be a rehash of all the ones that have
gone before, one that will have a new song that hasn't been sung to
death, or a new dance that bas never been durce before? Why
don't somebody in this day and generation that have run realism to
death, this time when real show, real rain, real horses, real cars, real
water tanks, real pile drivers and real pugilists are on the stage;
why don't somebody write a new Hamlet and uso real ham? Speak
ing of stages, there are several stages used in getting
to the front in business. First, the experimental stage; second, the
stage of uncertainty; third, the successful stage. We're already
ridingon the third stage, up on tue front seat with the driver, per
mitted to crack the whip ourselves occasionally. In one year men
and women have learned to believe in us, to know that we always
give value ,good, big value for every nickel that goes into our
money drawer and we don't do it for one day or on and one line of
goods, but we do it every day and on every line of goods we sell. E.
