nence system would be productive Of
more comfortable ways of living, heal
thier conditions, greater happiness, and
larger saving bank deposits among
those employed and their families than
exist at the present time, and effect q
great advantage to taxpayers through
reduced public expenditures, aud in
creased profit to the employers through
the larger quantity of goods or work
produced" To manufacturers who
have tried the experiment. it has proved
most satisfactory. Fairbanks & 70
