LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Story of Postum Cereal in WORDS
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
20. is like fairy tale, but it is true,
every word of it.
''The Door Unbolted" is the title of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
lust~ates, the story of this remark
able growth. It takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. I, 1895,
through the palatia1 Offices and great
factory buildings of the white City
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises Of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to whole city
Of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is tie quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general Office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is reproduction OF
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms of the
mansions of our multi-millionaires
than like Offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor.
oughly in the idea of giving to his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general Office building of the Company
and it's furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and of all Of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. 1t will be sem

letter from A. II. Gardner of the Stan

":sais will remove the principal
ground of complaint which the indie
pendent oil people have had as to the
situation in Missouri These people
have contended all along that they
could compete with the Standard and
the Waters-Pierce companies in their
respective territories if they could only
get rid of the bogus concern. When
the Republic company was forced by
an order of the court last summer to
produce their stock books into court
which proved that they were bogus
concern, there was nothing else for
them to do but sell out.
THE abandonment of the Kansas
City offices put this company out OF
business in the state of Missouri, it
having recently also abandoned its
other offices in the s1te located at
81. Louis, Springfield, Lockwood, and

average appropriation to that of the
rates now in force.

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the oId-Time
"AppIe-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom Of
making New Years calls was de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more ''egg-nog"
or "apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies' tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of century in the use
OF alcoohlic beverages, le: him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom Of New Year S
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom OF calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year, is n good habit. and an
other good habit to start at 'nat time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.
