A woman once wrote us
that she was not going to
buy SCOTS Emulsion any
more because it cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and
pound foolish. SCOTS Enul-
sion costs more because it is
worth more-costs more to
make. We could make
SCOTS Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Could take
less care in making it, too.
If we did, however, SCOTS
Emulsion wouldn't be the
standard preparation Of cod
liver oil as it is to-day.

contemplates the erection Of an addi-
ton to its factory building at 612-616
Fourth street S, to be ready to occupy
Sept. |. The company already owns
property adjoining its present building,
which can be used as site for the
new building. It probably will be sew
en- stories high, Of mill construction to
correspond in appearance with the main
building now standing, but possibly
not so deep.
Necessity for more storage room was
one of the strong arguments for en-
largement of the plant. Part of the
additional room may be used for in
crease in manufacturing facilities, but
for the most part it will provide stor-
age for stock which now is housed in
scattered storage rooms.
The Bemis Bag company has been es-
tablished in Minneapolis since 1880. It
was impelled by the growth of it's trade
to enlarge it's capacity and moved to
its Fourth street plant in 1891. The
building is Of brick, seven stories high,
66x150 feet. Here the company manu-
factures all kinds Of bags for it's trade,
which IS distributed in territory com
prised by Minnesota and the Dakotas.
