 DIRECTORS OF THE SNIPE COMPANY. and is an outgrowth of the hard times Two of the directors are also connected with the Snipe and Cigar Stub Collec- tion agency, which has done so much in the direction of economy and toxi- cology.
 The extreme stringency of the times has developed many new ideas in the direction of economy. such as the new bond issue. the crape paper necktie, the celluloid nose and the income tax Genius is always stimulated by power ty, and thus this new business has been organized upon strictly commercial principles and with practically no senti- me"t about 1t Any one can see that there can be no sentiment connected with it
 have decided, however, to answer in a negative way. owing to prejudice which the public always has for a new enterprise not yet fully established and to the humiliation which our agents would almost inevitably enjoy.
 To make such an enterprise success full it would want the aid and cooper ation of the very best classes, and it might take years of noble endeavUr to secure such aid and cooperation. It would require degree of faith which the very stringency of the times natu- rally tends to destroy. Of course the plan would be to renovate and return individual gum to owners, but would the public lean blindly upon a corpora tion with which it had not exchanged calls?
 However, hope that the enterprise will be successful enough to impair the public faith in all chewing gum, al- l though, according to the best informa- tion to be obtained on the subject, reno vated gum could not by any means be inferior to the average manufactured article as it comes from the store. Users 1 of gum will please bear in mind that such a business is in operation and gov ern themselves accordingly. Please ask yourselves what will become of reno- vated but unclaimed gum.
 Will it not be placed upon the market again?
 These are painful but necessary ques. tions
