Quite the newest idea in maids aprons

about four inches of the lower edge are
cut in one piece, the remaining portions

Therefore money. like vegetables must

fully one-ffth of the loans in the coun-

ket makes rule throughout the lard. With

money. Business men. cities and corpora

Improvements. and thus a demand for the

The price is interest. When money is
plentiful. the price is cheap.

Accordingly the advertising solicitor need

Roughly speaking. the advertising solic-

deavor: the newspaper, the magazine and
the advertising agency. His rewards may
run from SIS to $500 n week. according

hamper the spread of the CHAIN idea
is the lack OF men capable and trust
