16 IF foil HAVEN’T A LAMP ON YOUR BUGGY-GET ONE Chief Instructs Men to Make Arrests, Sufficient Notice Having Been Given. Every person found by the police to night and every night hereafter driv ing through the public streets without a lighted lamp attached to their ve hicles will be arrested. Chief of Po lice Van Riper announced today that at the police shift tonight he would in struct the patrolmen to enforce that provision of the new traffic ordinance, which provides that every vehicle, au tomobile, buggy, carriage, delivery wagon, express and moving van, dray, jnotocycle and bicycle, and, in fact, every kind of vehicle used on the streets, be equipped with a lighted lamp after dark. The first arrests under this section of .'.he ordinance will be made tonight. AXhile the majority of drivers in the city have complied with the ordinance, maAy have not and arrests are expect ed to be numerous. The fine is not less than .$5, and in every case this amount will be imposed, un’ess sometiing ag gravated is shown, in which case the penalty Will doubtless be larger. Chief tri Police Van Riper three WE ARE SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY buying space in this paper. We know for a certainty that it pays to advertise, but the method and the medium are mooted questions that are open to discussion. The advertising manager of this paper tells us frankly that the immense success we have had with Highland Park is caused by the advertising we have been placing with him. He puts up such a good talk and his arguments are so convincing that we find that we have used just a little more space each month. But we have been doing some thinking lately between visits. We have come to the con clusion that if what this paper claims is true we ought to eliminate some other advertising expenses and bunch our whole appropriation here, for if some advertising pays, a whole lot should pay better. For our own satisfaction we are going to test this matter. We are going to find out so far as Highland Park is concerned, if the claims of the advertising manager of this paper are well founded in fact. We want to know and are going to make a test on our own hook. ■ERE IS THE TEST close the trade, then turn this advertisement into us in payment of ten per cent of the purchase price of your lot. We have only one price on in Highland Park so you can rest assured that you will get the bot tom price. And, then you do not have to tell us anything about this ad. Just keep quiet about it—don’t even mention the matter, but when you close the trade pull it on us and get your discount. This test is not go ing to last always—it closes on June 20th, so if you want this discount you will have to close the trade within the time limit. It is going to cost us something to make this test, even in this short period because High land Park lots have sound values, but we want to know where we are “at” in this advertising matter and we would rather give home owners in Highland Park the benefit for a limited time than to continue giving our good money to any newspaper unless that newspaper is giving us the results we have a right to expect.
