FORTY-TWO YEARS' EXPERIENCE MAKES G. B. BOSWORTH SASH AND DOOR PHILOSOPHER

A sash and door man of the good old school is Mr. G. B. Bosworth, head of the Western Sash & Door Company, of Los Angeles.

For forty-two years he has been in the sash and door business, alternating at times with the retail lumber business, and this long experience coupled rvith a calm and humorous outlook on the r,vorld has made him something of a business philosopher.

The other day he attended a meeting of the millwork men in Los Angeles, and conditions were the subject of discussion. A young.man in the business turned to Mr. Bosworth and said: "I wonder how long these terrible conditions can last in this business we are in." Mr. Bosworth replied. "Son, I can't tell you. I've been in this game forty-two years, and, with the exception of a few abnormal times, business has been bad ever since I've been in it, and the sash and door men have been kicking ever since I.started."

Mr. Bosrvorth came from the middle west. He spent the greater part of his business experience in Missouri, Joplin and Kansas City being his locations for many years. He likewise spent two years in the sash and door business in Dallas, Texas, many years ago.

Seven years ago he sold out his business in Kansas City and came to Los Angeles rvith his two grown sons Frank and Leslie, and they established the Western Sash & Door Company at 1601 East 25th Street. They have two fine warehouses well stocked with a large variety of doors and windows, and they make a specialty of appealing strongly to the retail lumber dealer, They carry mostly Wheeler & Osgood doors from the l.{orthwest, and Pickering Pine doors, and give immediate service on dealer orders of any size or kind. "The Westefn" garage door is one of their best sellers. The two sons are Mr. Bosworth's assistants in the business, and they enjoy a steady and satisfactory volume of business. Mr. Bosworth thinks things aren't in such bad shape now as some people say, and believes they will be much better in the fall. Besides, in his fortytwo years' experience he has seen conditions lots worse lots of times than they are now, so he just grins and keeps on doing business.

Smiles

A smile is quite a funny thing, It wrinkles up your face, And when it's gone you never find, ft's secret hiding place.

But far m,ore wonderful it is, To see what smiles can do. You smile at one, he smiles at you, And so one smile makes two.

He smiles at someone, since you smiled, And then that one smiles back. And that one smiles, until in truth, You keep in smiling track.

And since a smile can do great good, By cheering hearts of care, Let's smile and smile and not forget That smiles go eveqrwhere.

Mrs. K.: "I'll bet that's that stuckup Mrs. Murphy on the fifth floor."

IS "13'' UNLUCKY?

How can we account for the absurd superstitio,n that "13" is an unlucky number? We do not know who is rerponsible for this belief, yet most hotels omit l3 in numbering their rooms and floors. No. 13 is generally hard to sell to'anyone, in any thing. Who among us does not know people who will not sit at table in a crowd that numbers 13?

Yet, consider these reaso,ns why every American should believe 13 to be lucky, rather than an unlucky number: 13 is written all over our country. First there were 13 colc'nies; the first flag had 13 stars and stripes; Revolutionary, which describes our war for freedom, has 13 letters in, it; so has E Pluribus tlnum, and American Eagle, our mrotto and our emblem. Now take the quarter of a dollar. There are 13 stars over the head of Liberty, 13 leaves in the olive branch held by the E,agle, 13 thunderbolts in his talons, 13 bars on the shield, 13 feathers in each wing, and 13 letters spell "quarter dollar". Perry's great naval battle was fought Sept. 13, 1813, and our famous "John Paul Jones" had 13 letters in his name, was 13 years old when he came to America, and carried the first flag of 13 stars to victory. The first fleet ordered by the American Government consisted of 13 vessels."

Obituary

"The stranger from Texas was a right smart of a poker player", related the, Old Timer, "but not quite good enough for these parts. I sets in a game one night with him and Greasy Dick and Cochetope Shorty. They comes a big pot with over six hundred dollars in it and when it comes to a showdown Greasy Dick lays down a Heart flush, ace high, Shorty shows four sixes with a Ave kicker, and the stranger holds four aces."

"Whew! And what did you hold?"

"Oh, I was the coroner. I held the inouest."
