ve THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES -- Greater Oshawa Edition -- SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 Why Luke's Store is so Popular Their Goods aie Right and They Study the Personal Element, The Luke Furniture Company has a business reputation in Oshawa that retail proprietors and managers dream about in their happiest slumbers. That is, it has a reputation not only for selling everything for the home and for any home, but it has be- comé a local synonym for hospitality. The Luke Furniture Company's noon-hour radio concerts are appre- ciated by thousands of Oshawa citi- zens. General Motors employees ga- ther there daily. This feature is men- tioned, at the start, for it is one of the things that point the way to Oshawa's future greatness. Merchan- -dising that contributes more than goods, more than inside service to the happiness of a community, is the kind of merchandising that builds great cities. Oshawa, incidentally, has no furhi- ture mail-order problem. People who want furniture or household furnish- ings of any kind think of Luke's store instinctively, and that's probab- ly one of the basic reasons why its sales volume this year is already well ahead of the 1927 record. The always admirable location of the Luke Furniture Store will be greatly enhanced by the completion of the new Genosha Hotel directly across from it. It is housed in one of Oshaw.'s finer retail buildings with splendid display on three floors and in the Lasement. The dimension of cach floor is 123 by 75 feet, salesroom space on cach of the four floors. Back of the ground floor showroom and offices is a large shipping department. On the ground and first floors gen- eral furniture lines are attractively displayed. The second floor features carpets, rugs and draperies. In the basement complete lines of linoleinms, oil cloth and cocoa matting is fea- tured. The Music Department on the ground floor, is an important fea- ture. Luke's hold the exclusive local agencies for Brunswick Pamatropes, the new Panatrope portable and rec- ords. Complete lines of Atwater-Keng, Federal Orthosonic and Radiola in- struments are om display, the com- pany also holding the local agencies for these radios with reputation, Kelvinator refrigeration and the Eureka vatuum sweeper are sold in increasing quantities. Special attention is given to furni- ture for summer camp or cottage and for the garden. Fine lines of chil- dren's furniture in kindergarten sizes are stocked. Two heavy duty trucks are com- stantly engaged in filling orders for furniture. The Luke Club plan is accountable for. a huge volume of sales annually, This Club combines the best obvious features of installment buying with service and economy.

Thousands | heard the games described in 1927 ! when the New York Yankees took the pennant in five straight games. Much interest was evoked during "the recent Tunney-Heeney fight.

DISLIKES ROY 0, WEST | (New York Telegram, pro Hoover) It is unfortunate that the Sen- late is not in session so that it could promptly reject the appoint- ment of Roy O.- West, of Chicago, as Secretary of the Interior. It is difficult to imagine how a more un- | happy selection could have been | made. West has been intimately associated with Samuel Insull, pow- er magnate of Chicago, over a per- !iod of thirty years, and has 'large holdings in Insull companies. Insull, it will be recalled, was the man whose reprehensible acti- vities in the [Illinois primary om 1926 caused the Senate to refuse to seat Frank IL. Smith. | Further, he has heen a leader [1n organizing the propaganda ma- chine of the power interests, the activities of which, exposed by tna I"ederal Trade Commission, have | b=en £9 widely condemned. It was | this propaganda machine that or- | ganized the lobhy to defeat the Walsh resolution. It has spared effort to defeat the Boulder Dam 'and Muscle Shoals hills to forestall federal regulation of power and to defeat public owner- hip. Now { find a close associate f this man Insull sitting in the ('ahinet and the post he occupies : the one which has the most to do with power matters. we Cheerful Visitor: "Can you tell name of Noah's wife?" hoy, (brightly): 'Joan of me the Small | Are " gf. THE CHARGE FOR DISNEY-COTT SERVICE DEPENDS UPON THE (CHOICE OF FURNISHINGS Good Record of Del-Ray Coaches Provide Efficient, Reliable and Comfortable Trans- port System With a fleet of five magnificent parlor car motor busses maintaining regular schedules between Toronto and Oshawa, the Del-Ray Coach Ser- vice Ltd, has become a household word in this city. Since its organi- zation a year or so ago, probably filty thousand passengers a year have been transported in and out of this city, Such tremendous volume of busi- ness could not have been secured without the offering of superior ser- vice, The public has come to know that Del-Ray parlor busses are always on time; that they are in the hands of highly efficient mmechanicians whose safety record has never departed from the requirements of absolute protection for the company's patrons. The parlor busses of the Del-Ray line are truly magnificent products of the coach builder's art. Exteriorly, their impressive but graceful outlinés are enhanced by their color schemé of mulberry and gold. The rear of the parlor busses are patterned after the observation vestibules of trans-con- tinental trains' club cars. The interior of Del-Ray busses is particularly pleasing. There is, one notes at once, more headroom than usual. The seats are luxuriously up- holstered and give the maximum of riding comfort. For night driving, the cars are lit with indirect lights pro- vided with electricity generated by special motors. A large deck on top. and at the rear of each parlor-bus provides storage for baggage and with abso- lute safety both from weather and other accidents. Windows in the busses are auto- matically controlled, and recognize in their width and clarity the superior advantages of motor bus travel for the tourist as well as those who in journeying from Oshawa to Toronto Ehioy the splendid scenery along the road, The Del-Ray line has recently op- ened its waiting room and office for Oshawa at No. 23 Prince street. This is in charge of Mrs, Gruberman. The Toronto lines use the union terminal on Bay street just north of Dundas, opposite the new Ford Ho- tel, The service garage for the line is located on Bond street. There, un- der a ctaff of trained mechanics, the line's fleet of parlor busses is kept up to the highest standard of effi- ciency. Incidentally, no trip is made without, first, a thorough inspection of the bus. The rates for chartering busses are comparatively low, and' the service is gaining in popularity for picnics, group journeys for all occasiens, and even to take theatre parties to To- ronto for some special occasion. The Del-Ray lines serve only To- ronto, Whitby and Oshawa. No sche- duled stops are made at intermediate points. The Company is owned and opera- ted by Messrs Bromley and Sefton, both of Tarote, Yom a small be- ginning, the line has steadily ex- we | until today it has reached the proportions of a major transport system. A bulletin recently issued by the Department of Architecture at the University of Toronto, gives repro- ductions of the work of students in various branches of study, such as the designing of buildings, line draw- ing, modelling, and water color drawing. It also contains an abstract of the work covered as arranged by five years' study instead of four. Be- ginning with the next session, the course in Architecture will be a five years' course instead of four years as previously. DOMINION PROTESTS TAX ON DIVIDENDS Ottawa, Aug. 9.--Some weeks ago the United States Government began to enforce a law, which has been in suspense, whereby when Canadian holders of United Siates securities are forwarded, through Canadian banks, their dividend payments, five per cent, is hela back to cover the United States tax on such dividends. Afterwards an adjustment is made and what re- mains of the five per cent is handed to the bond holder. Complaints were recently voiced here and the matter is being taken up with Washington, but the more the law is applied the greater tne fumber of complaints. There is some suggestion of retaliation con- sidering the millions of United States monéy invested in Canadian securities and earning dividends. This latter course, however, doe not appear to be favored om prin- ciple but it is thought possible that incidental to negotiations now in progress regarding the taxation of steamship companies doing an in. ternational! business, a similar so- lution of the other matter may be sought. In the case of the steam- ships, the proposal is that the Fed- | {eral taxation be applied in which- ever country the company is locar- ed and regardless of its interna- tional business. Such a principle would relieve Canadian s from U. S. taxation and U.S. interests from the suggested possibility of a re. ciprocal tax on their extensive fn- vestments in Canada.
