Ideal Novelty Expands
for the housing of their stock of
phonographs and a part of their
office. It is only a little over a year
ago that they moved into their present
quarters and have outgrown them in
that short period of time.
The men in back of this progressive
company have a policy of sharing
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
vest well earned. They have just
taken a long term lease on their
Present building and the adjoining
building as well.

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.
