with their employees their prosperity.
Each employee received, as a Christ
mas present, a sizeable bonus. It is
this sort of spirit that creates a feel
ing of fellowship and a willingness
on every employee to exert himself
of every employee to exert himself
the men who make their livelihood
possible.
With the advent of the new year
comes the good news that Ideal Nov
elty Company of St. Louis, Mo., is
expanding. The cause of the expan
sion is due to an increased business,
which in turn is due to only one thing
arid that is the constant real service
and fair trading practices of this
company. They are reaping the har

Serious Riot
Since our 1937 calendars were
mailed out some short time ago
we have had our mail bag liter
ally choked with requests for
more and more of them. We
wish it were possible to grant
all the requests received but
the truth of the matter is,
“there jist ain’t no more.”
Benjamin Sterling, Jr., of
Sterling Service, wired us from
Scranton, Pa., as follows; “Cal
endars opened by accident op
erators present resulted in seri,
ous fight three operators in
hospital six in ja il state police
in charge of situation m ail dozen
more calendars to be used for
arts sake.”
It was our intention to im
plore the Governor to call out
the militia, but due to the rush
of business it slipped our minds.
We hope, however, the situation
is well in hand by this time.

Announcement was made of the
consolidation of two New York firms,
the Reliable Peanut Company and
Fitzgibbons Specialties.
The new
concern was to be called the Reliable
Peanut Company, incorporated. Of
course the “Fitzgibbons” half of the
combination was John A., who at
present heads the New York distribut
ing organization bearing his own
name.
