and money passes from debtor to creditor

Mr.. Major, he famous cement nam, OF
New York. explains some very interesting
facts ahont Majors Cement.
The mulitu,lcs who use this standard ar
ticle know that it is many hundred per
cent. better than other cements for which
do not know why The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too vN-
penSive and do not allow large profits. Mr.
Major tells us shat one of the elements OF
his cement costs - 10 !; pound, and an
other costs - Gj II Gallon. while Il large
share of til" s'-ral'rd dement's and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more
than SiNtcen-crnt glue. dissolved III water

The profit ON Majors cement is ~ much
ms any dealer OUGHT to make ON amy cement.
And this is doubly true in view of he fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bcnc-
fit of Mr. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over 5000 II month, throughout

Rev. L. NJ. Barney OF Beverly,
