that it be perpetuated and extended.

Short credits prevent the dealer from
getting overstocked.
The business has been advertised for
20 years, until now w. L.Douglas shoes
are worn by more people in all stations
of life than any other make.
The manufacturing plant is rightup
to date, equipped with every modern
device About one-half of the present
factory has been built and equipped
with machinery the past four years. A
new power plant, sufficiently large to
meet all demands that may be made
upon it for several years, was installed
two years ago. The. manufacturing
plant, machinery and all the GA retail
stores throughout the country are free
from incumbrance, and the company
has sufficient cash ON hand to conduct
an annual business of 81 600. 900 with

The Douglas business is not subject
to fierce competition or affected by
panics therefore this is better in

stock. This is the best opportunity
ever offered for the permanent invest

The principal is secure, and the tx
yearly dividend certain. To my friends

GOOD POINTS OF
The COCKROACH
Insect a Scavenger and an
Enemy of Other Pests.
Bug Proves Valuable in ST. Helena

lashes in Brazil.

The unprepossessing cockroach has
two good points. according to Prof. G.
L. Marlatt. first assistant entomologist
of the Agricultural Department. One OF
these virtues is that the insects are s>av-
engers, and at times are of great ser
vice in eating up and removing dead ami
NAL matter. OF their other good point,
Prof. Marlatt says:
"One other redeeming trait has been
recorded Of them. namely, that they
will prey on that other previous pest of
houses which are not subjected to care
full supervision, the bedbug. Their haD-
it's in this direction have been recorded
several times. One writer in a narra-
tive OF a voyage (Foster's voyage. vol

in fhis connarti0n.
