A NEW "IF'I
By Dorothy Gramm, Lima, Ohio
If you can hold your stocks when all about you, Are selling theirs and urging you to sell, And know you're right when other traders doubt you, And tell you that the market's shot to hell.
If you can trust your hunches to inform you When up or down your favorite stock will go; If you find on the tape a sign to warn you When Bethlehem has reached its all-time low.
.If you're content to take a fair-sized profit And let the other fellow have his share. If you can tell how high a stock will rocket And know just when to turn frorn bull to bear.
If you can see a move and play it rightly Or guess what laws the brain trust will concoct, If you can go to bed and sleep well nightly With nerves that are not ruined, or tape-shocked.
If you can use your knowledge, not abuse it. If you know neither losses nor defeatThe stock exchange is yours, to have and use it, And what is rnore you should be given a seat.

Setab Sales Show Big Increase
One of their recent achievements, the Standard Hex Setab shingle, is having an excellent response from the retailer lumber dealers according to officials of the PioneerFlintkote Company. Three big features in one, they state, is making this shingle a popular seller. These outstanding values are the standard hex design, the Setab sealed edges, and the new clover blend-a beautiful blended green.
The standard hex shaped strip shingle which has always been one of the Pioneer-Flintkote most popular selling designs is the basis of the Standard Hex Setab in the clover

blend. The edges of the hex strip sealed in with asphalt and heavily coated u'ith crushed rock is an exclusive Setab feature; the thick, sealed edges give a rugged, textured appearance and the "deep shadow line" so sought after. By using the Setab starting strip at the edges, and by simply cutting Standard Hex Setabs or Square Butt Setabs into individual units for hips and edges, all exposed surfaces and edges have an extra sealed in protection making a completely sealed-in roof from ridge to drip edge.
The natural color harmony of clover blend or the crisp freshness of clover green together with the "deep shadow line" makes a delightful combination. Lumber dealers throughout the entire western territory are quickly taking advantage of the sales opportunities offered by the Standard Hex Setab Shingles, company ofificials state, and they are meeting with popular favor with the trade.
