Customer's Right. In Hartford, Conn., the two salesmen hawking $2 automobile emergency lights to employees in the State Office Building did a booming business until they barged into the "Sales and Use Division" where an unimpressed prospect made them buy a sales permit and a $50 bond...
Despite all this the Orchestra is better off than almost any in the country because of its traditionally loyal followers. The Friends of the Boston Symphony last year gave it $18,000.

For the first time, the chamber indorsed a proposed school bond issue, and for the first time the real-estate owners' association did not oppose it. The bond issue was for $21 million; Denver citizens voted...
