WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance
of the words Trade Mark stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did
1t would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out Of the business.
When manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu.
ton in his hands-out in the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
err of his goods. with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements" offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility. and when these infe-
rior goods come back it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
Using of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of puri-
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address a blow-pipe and instruc-
lions how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be-
ing sent out from the New York
office of the company. Woodbridge

recently broke all previous records for
climbing Mont Blanc by making the
trip to the top and back from Grands
Mulets in ~ hours.
Prof. Hobbs has performed many
other mountain climbing feats. but
regards the Mont Blanc ascension his
proudest effort.
He has made several trips abroad
in the last dozen years or more for
the especial purpose of studying the
geological formation of mountains.
and was present at Mt. Vesuvius at
the time of its last eruption. two
years ago. At that time he earned
the title OF the crazy American" be-
cause of the lack of fear he showed
in going as near to the crater of the
volcano as possible. even before the
eruptions had ceased.
Prof Hobbs was graduated from the
Worcester Polytechnic institute with
the class OF 1888. and Immediately
after graduation entered the Johns
Hopkins university in Baltimore.
where he pursued four years course
and received the degree of Phi. ID. He
then entered Harvard college for a
postgraduate course, and after COM
pleting his studies there studied In
German universities for several years.
He has been professor of geology at
Ann Arbor for two years previous to
which he was connected with this Uni
versity of Wisconsin.

PICNIC FOR THE PUP.
His Devotion to Duty Rewarded by
Strange luxuries.

A Boston bulldog owned by George
II. Clapp was SO determined to cap
ture woodchuck which he had chased
into its den that he followed after and
staid in the hole all night.
When the dog had got his jaws
about the enemy he found that he
could not get out owing to the small
size of the animals hole.
Rather than lose his prey the dog
retained his hold on the woodchuck
over night, and was helped out by his
master in the morning. The dog was
nearly exhausted. and revived after
feeding and drinking in a curious man
ner.
He consumed about two quarts of
unguarded ice cream. which had been
set aside for a party. and capped the
climax by falling into bucket of lem
