VISITING CARDS.
Names and Messages Used to Be

Names and Messages Used to Be
Seribbled on Playing Cards.
It is somewhat curious that so use
full an invention as the visiting card
should have been unknown to society
until comparatively recent times. Yet
$50 years ago the carte de visite did
not exist. The bellies OF the seven
teenth century used nothing in the
shape Of a name card, or "ticket,
as it was afterward called. Invita-
tions to rOuts and drums as well as
names and addresses were written
across the backs OF playing cards
which in those days were made with
white reverse and innocent Of the
intricate pattern familiar to us in
modern times.

Six Cents Per Quart

Van Camps is as thick as thick cream--so
thick that you add one part water for coffee
Yet it doesn't cost hals what you pay your milk
man for cream.
Add two parts water and you have rich milk.
The cost of such milk, when you buy Van
Camps by the case, is but six cents per quart.
Then you have no waste-no milk left over.
That saving, in itself, is enormous.
So you have a COW in your kitchen--rich milk
or cream whenever you want it, And it costs
less than hand-to-mouth buying.
You have pure, rich milk for less than you
pay your milknian.
Evening journal., 1909-05-25
But Be Careful

Condensed milk is half sugar You can't use
it for cooking. Don't think that Van Camps is
like that.
And don't think that all evaporated millSs are
alike.
Van Camps Milk shows about s per cent
of butter fat. That's because we use Holstein
milk, and take out two-thirds the water.
But milk less rich, and with more water left
in, may still be called "evaporated'
IF you'll compare Van Camps with other
brands, you will see what difference there is.
Vet others cost as much as Van Camps

Nothing But Milk

Van Camps is simply rich Holstcin milk,
with two-thrds the water evaporaed. Nothing
whatever is added. Nothing is subtracted save
water

arc in the best daiying sections. Our milk is

That slight almond Aavor-apparent only when
the milk is drunk colds due to sterilization
1t means nothing added. 1t indicates simple
purity.
When you heat the milk-as in cooking or

then the natural flavor Of milk or cream, save

Ask some Of your neghbors who have
changed already. There are hundreds Of

Try to get them to go back to the milk
man after they've used Van Camps.
Get them to buy milk from day to day
when they now have COW in their kitchen.
Get them to cook with half-miliS again.
Or to use milk laden with germs.
1t is hard, sometimes, to win one from
the milkman. But it is utterly impossible to
get one to go back.

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as president, much rivalry devel-
oped among the leading manufacturers
for the honor of selling him car and
the public watched with interest to
see what Mr.. Taft's choice would be.
The knowing ones predicted that the
White Steamer would be selected and
they pointed out that President Roose-
welt had used White Steamers for two
years at his summer home at Oyster
Bay and had recommended this make
to Mr.. Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely on
Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation, but,
with his usual thoroughness deter
miued to have an investigation made
of all the principal makes. Accord
ingly he asked several officers of the
war department to look into the mat
ter for him and they tested many
makes of cars, visited number of fac
tories so that they might see what ma
terials are used and, finally, they in
vestigated the records of the different
types of cars in public contests and
in private service.
When their labors were completed,
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1909-04-09

the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft in favor Of the White, and
accordingly,a car of this make was i'm
medately ordered from the manufao-
turers, The White Company, of Cleve-
land.
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft in Washington few days before
his Inauguration and since that time
it has been in almost constant use.
There has not been a day when the
president or some members OF his
family have not been seen riding
around the national capital in the new
car. It is limited that Mr.. Taft likes
fast travelling and that when he rides
out into the open country, he does not
always insist that the speed OF the car
be kept within the legal limits.

United States there is no way in
which we can make it any better than
the car which you, or anybody else,
can purchase from us.
"Some of those writing to me about
Mr.. Taft's COR say that although they
are very DESTROYS of having q car like
Mr.. Taft's, they are afraid that such
q car is somewhat larger and more ex-
pensivve than they desire. In reply
to these letters I point out that our
Model o. 20 horsepower car is exactly
like the 40 horsepower model, except
as regards the size of the different
parts. The principle of construction
is exactly the same and the smaller
car possesses all the desirable qualities
of our larger model In other words,
point ont that they can secure an
exact duplicate of Mr.. Taft's car for
