Why Mr. Williams Bought a “Colt” Strangers called just as he was closing up VERYBODY in town was sorry for 4 Mr. Williams. The story told in the Herald the day after Officer O’Brien found him bound and gagged in his office at three o’clock in the morning was the feature story of the issue. It read: “Police Officer O’Brien, making his usual rounds, in looking into the store of Williams & Co., was surprised to see a man, bound and gagged, in a chair at the back of the store. He found the door open and went in. The man was none other than George . Williams, the pro- prietor himself, and the story which Mr. Williams told was the usual one of the strangers who called just as he was lock- ing up. Overpowering him, they bound him to a chair and made way with about $500 in cash from the safe. Mr. Williams said he had nothing with which to protect himself—a fact no doubt known to the robbers.” ODAY Mr. Williams would know how to receive such intruders. One of his first acts was to purchase a Colt. “It’s the best that money can buy,” the dealer said. “You are wise to have the pro- tection of a Colt for your home and store.” Mr. Williams’ case is typical of the great numbers of stores and homes, unprotected against such unlawful in- trusion. UR dealer will be glad to show you the various models of Colt Automatic Pistols or Colt Revolvers, and advise you which is the best for your home pro- tection, They are manufactured by the historic Colt’s Patent Firearms Mfg. Co. of Hartford, Conn., who make not only Colt’s Revolvers and Colt’s Automatic Pistols, but Colts (Browning) Automatic Machine Guns and Colt’s (Browning) Automatic Machine — Rifles—regulation equipment for the various branches of the Government service.

At best it is going to take a long time to repair the damage done to France. Some things, however, can be done quickly. The restoration of the cloche is one of them. By all means let us “set the bells ringing again.” One hundred dollars will buy a bell in France, and the Committee is hoping to raise $10,000. Checks should be made payable ‘to the Angelus Fund Committee, Dr. Alexander Humphreys, Treasurer, 16 East 39th Street, New York City, or to the local State Chairman of the American Committee for Devastated France.
