Two Pointed sauesstsas Answered.

What is the use of making better ar ticle than your competitor if you can not get better price for it?
 Ans.-As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the bet ter, so that while our profits may be smaller on single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the best.
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are cer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the better one.

When airships shall fly gracefully
over our heads and wires carry thoughts
as we'll as words, and people live on
their capsules of chemically prepared
food, then names will probably be dis
pensed with and a symbol will be suf1i-
cient to designate ones person. The
most advanced scientists have always
been unable to remember the names of
their acquaintance. They never forget
faces, and so they deem names unneces-
sary. Symbols suggestive of the natu-
raj characteristics of the person would
be much better. Darwin once forgot his
own name. Professor S. Of Harvard,
after committing to memory the string
of names of a Spaniard to whom he
wished to present an old friend, forgot
the name of his friend at the crucial
mOment.-New York Times.
