THE END OF THE FLIGHT, by
Burton Kline, the story of the rl*e
of a young man of sterling quali
ties and the downfall of the rich
eat, moat important citizen in the
community.
ft
Mr. Kline has a happy way o*
••pressing himself. He says what
he has to say without effort and
feithou*. too much explanation. v As
for the material Mr. Kline has se
lected upon which to hang his
ptory. we think It was worthy of a
better peg. The adventuress is
Overdrawn. She is not true to-any
Oharactcr In life or fiction and has
hot one redeeming trait. Sh«"was
really not needed at all. Mr. Kline
ioes not need a plot; he does not
heed any sensationalism; he does
hot require any peculiar variety of
character to make an Interesting
book. With his ability to express
himself so charmingly, be could
easily talk about the commonplaces
Os the day and the humdrum life of
BBybody and produce an interesting
Btory The man, Penning, is fine
The girl Annabel. Is all right. The
hareer of tha young lawyer was
enough, with his thoroly norma! love
affair, to make a book.

A wedding* grist of grood silverware acts like a feather under

every niece of her wedding silvenvare —that’s why I say get

The Biggest and Finest Selection
of Silverware Ever Shown in
Detroit is on Display in the

Every piece of table flat ware or hollow ware you find hero is the finest made —not
the kind that looks like lead pipe after the honeymoon, hut the kind that’s handed down
to your children’s children. When you come here you’ll get silverware that’s going to
make your children my customers —I’m building this business for my son.
The Most Uncommon Thing is Common Sense—On Price Tags
~ r^ ' Most jewelers are using the “war bogie” to “kite” prices. Just l>erause Mr.' Manu
facturer boosts me is no sign I’m going to pass it along to the customers. I'll stand the
boost- and mak<* up by doing more business. Anytime you see the world’s standards in
s ilverware. like GORHAM. STERLING, HOLMES & EDWARDS, “1st?” ROGER BROS.”
and COMMUNITY, still selling at the same SQUARE DEAL prices you can “say it again”
that the jeweler who’s selling it is doing a bigger business.
