And what is that?' demanded Uncle
Bill, who thought he'd already arrang-

"a sewing machine-a Singer"
Eyes, yes, that's. fact, but I'll fix
about that very soon. My friend, j.

the Singer Co., is the man to see for
sewing machine, and he is pleasant
fellow to deal with too, and knows all
about machine. He sells the univers-

Departing from the market, Uncle
Bill then took the young couple to Mrs.
Balls bakery, where they were intro

said, land the successful baker must
not be content with making staple
goods only, but must show originality

This has been the secret of the success
