get them for the children. Then what
happens? One of the child-fads OF the

It's all right; my own children do it
but when a mercantile house puts 500
into calendars it makes the proprietor
squirm to think how great a part of
his investment in that kird of alleged
advertising is mutilateJ in order that
his calendar art may adorn picture
books, and no publicity is atte aimed.
