1t paws to advertise in the CALEDo-
MAN. Boynton & Eastman have had an
ad in the CALIFORNIAN for the past two
or three weeks advertising spruce gum.
A few days ago they received a letter
from Mrs. Henry S. Chubb of Ormond,
Fla, saying that her little boys had read
their ad in the CALIFORNIAN and wanted
to try some of the spruce gum instead ol
Beeman's pepsin gum, which was the
best they had down there. A check was
enclosed for quite a large order. Remem-
ber the value of the CALEDoNIAN as an
advertising medium when you think OF
doing some advertising.
