HOW THE DIPPER SAVED THE FARM

farm was coming due, saw in the Christian
Advocate where Miss A. NJ Fritz of Station
A st. Louis, Mo-, would send a sample com
bination dipper for Is two cent stamps, and
] ordered one. l saw the dipper C )uld be
used as fruit jar filler; plain dipper a
line strainer; funne,; a strainer funnel; a
sick room warming pan and pint measure.
These eight different uses makes the dipper
such necessary article that went to work
with it and it sells at very near every house.
And in four months paid off the mortgage.
