new contract with the Guggenheims

to buy or exploit on his own behalf gold.
silver or copper mines. and is to choose
his own assistants.
This salary. together with the income
from his own private properties in Cali

and elsewhere. will yield Mr.. Hammond
100000 a year. which he has enjoyed
annually since the beginning of his first
contract with the Guggenheim people.
The Guggenheims. through the advice of
Hammond, have invested millions of dol
lars in mines and are said to have never
made a mistake by SO doing.

Nothing but Milk.
Madam, the flavor that Van Camps gives
to milk dishes comes solely from milk.

Yet it costs half what cream
costs.
Add two parts water and you
have rich milk, at about the price
which you pay to your milk
man.
But you have no waste. You
open a can as you want it. The
saving in year is enormous.
Van Camps means a COW in
your kitchen. Rich milk or cream
whenever you want it.
No shortage, no waste.
Such milk dishes as you never
can make from raw milk.
Cheaper than raw milk. Far
more convenient.
Do you wonder that with 10000
COWS we can scarcely supply the
demand for this milk?
Then add to all that the abso-
lutte purity.
Our diaries are sanitary. Our
COWS are inspected. We allow no
chance for infection.
Then the milk is sterilized.
There is not a germ in it.
Can you think of a reason for
using germ-laden milk when you
can now get Van Camps?
We publish an excellent cook
book, showing the exact cost of
all sorts of milk dishes. Please
write for tits free. Address
Van Camp Packing Co., Indianap-
oils, Ind.
