Company something like $4,000 a
year for advertising. Someone sug-
gested TO the company that it discon-
tinue advertising one year, the baking

vertised, and place the amount In the
profits. The answer was that 1t would
undoubtedly cost the company three

men who imagine they are making u
great saving when they discontinue a
81 or SO a month advertisement a few
months In dull season. 1t never pays
to tear out dam because the water Is
low.
