by the conversion of many latent re-
sources (which now remain dormant
into the channals of commerce and trade,
the production would create an incentive
for increased consumption. The demand
for labor would correspondingly in
crease with the production, thereby rem
dering untold advantages to the wage
earners. Our city is the
FAVORED BUSINESS CENTER
For the entire trade of the population
north and east of San Francisco. The
important interests in this growing COM
munity are almost beyond enumeration,
and pertain to nearly every form OF enter
prise and industry. The field is there
fore inviting 10 every line OF mercantile
and manufacturing competition.
There is here great demand for all the

They ask for no subsidies: they are here,
and have been, solely upon their faith in
the city. They do not claim the right to
community support, except upon merit.
If they furnish as good products at as
comparative prices as foreign manu-
lecturers, then we help ourselves by buy

contrary, we discredit products of our
own for others no better, what position do
we occupy in the eyes of those we are
asking to come here and invest? We
should believe in our own, whenever
the same is deserving, in preference to
the stranger without our gates. On this
basis the Capital Soap Company stands.
Nothing is asked by them, except on
merit 1t does claim, and 1t is
a RIGHT AND JUST CLAIM,
That sentiment in favor of foreign
trademark shall not override as good a
product that bears the home trademark.
Ihis is common fairness and Justice, and
the people must confess as much.

It's popularity generally, and the advan-
