and is an outgrowth of the hard times
Two of the directors are also connected
with the Snipe and Cigar Stub Collec-
ton 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 Grape paper neclxtie, the
celluloid nose and the income tax.
Genius is always stimulated by power

negative way, owing to prejudice
which the public always has for 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

might take years of noble endeavor to
secure such aid and cooperation. 1t
would require degree of faith which
the very stringency OF the times natu-

plan would be to renOvate and return
individual gum to owners, but would
the public lean blindly upon a corpora
ton 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
though, according to the best informa-
ton to be obtained on the subject, reno
waited gum could not by any means be
inferior to the average manufactured
article as it comes from the store. Users
of gum will please bear in mind that
such business is in operation and gov
ern themselves accordingly. Please ask
yourselves what will become of reno
waited but unclaimed gum.
Will it not be placed upon the market
again?
