tertained with a miscellaneous
shower at the home of Mrs.
Mithcell, honoring Mrs. Richard
Squyers, a recent bride. The
rooms were beautifully decorat-
ed with vari-colored flowers.
The gifts were presented to the
bride in a large basket decorat-
ed in green crepe paper, and
were brought in by Misses Mar-
jorie Bailey, a cousin of the
bride, and Lavergne Lind. There
were a profusion of gifts from
friends in Austwell, Maudlowe

On Friday night, August 25,
the Austwell Hotel was the
scene of a surprise party honor-
ing Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Jackson,
who have recently moved here.
Pupils of Mr. Jackson, who is
principal of the local high
school, gathered at the drug
store and went to the hotel. Aft-
er several games had been play-
ed, the honorees were each given
a slip of paper with directions
for finding a certain place. Aft-
er following these directions,
they found a pasteboard box
containing a live chicken, and
further directions. After find-
ing the next gift, they began to
realize that this was no ordinary
party, but a shower as well. Mr.
and Mrs, Jackson received many
lovely gifts as tokens of friend-
ship, expressing to them the
welcome of the entire commun-
ity.

CHEVROLET SALESMEN
TO GET INCREASED PAY
In conformity with the ex-
pressed desire of President
Roosevelt to increase compensa-
tion for all workers, H. J. Kling-
ler, vice president and general
manager of Chevrolet, announc-
ed today that he had recently
submitted to approximately 10,-
000 dealers, throughout the
United States, a plan that would
make it possible to materially in-
crease the earning of more than
25,000 men who are now selling
Chevrolet cars and trucks at re-
tail.
While there is nothing com-
pulsory about the plan, Mr.
Klingler announced that since
its introduction he had already
received letters and telegrams
from nearly 2,000 dealers who
have signified their desire to
put the plan into operation im-
mediately. Within a year it is
confidently expected that every
Chevrolet dealer in the country
will have made it possible for his
retail salesmen to make more
money.
While definite and specific in
its recommendations, the plan is
broad enough to meet the re-
quirements of dealers regardless
of their size. It is said by those
who are familiar with the details
that it will work just as success-
fully for the dealer who operates
in a small town as for one locat-
ed in New York or Chicago.
Under the provisions which
Mr. Klingler has recommend-
ed it is possible for any re-
tail salesman to substantially
increase his earnings through
the sales of new cars, used cars,
truck and accessories. He also
participates in house deals,
something that in many in-
stances has heretofore been de-
nied to many salesmen. A rec-
ommended bonus system furth-
er augments the salesman’s
earnings during the fall and
winter seasons when sales usu-
ally fall below the spring and
summer peaks. _ Thus the sales-
man who qualifies always has a
reserve to draw upon when most
needed.
One of the outstanding fea-
tures Mr. Klingler feels will es-
pecially appeal to the retail
salesman is the fact that this
plan provides a steady job for
all competent men—at a rate of
pay that compares favorably
with that paid in other fields.
Dealers will also benefit be-
cause they can attract the high-
est caliber of salesmen into
their organization. Increased
sales will enable dealers to in--
crease the compensation of
those who have helped to make
this volume possible. Loyalty,
enthusiasm, and a feeling that
the boss is playing fair has been
found to be a pretty strong link
in holding an organization to-
gether.
On the Desert.
Husband (to wife on first
morning in the desert)—Quick,
darling, come and see this won-
derful mirage.
Wife (peering intently)—I’m
sorry, dear, but I don’t see a
thing; but let’s hurry and have
our breakfast, then go for a
swim in that beautiful lake.
