/ beg leave TO differ think that
The feeling among the mass of the

for our laws In general they are UNI
stable, uncertain and subject to ev-

Is only one thing left upon which we
can place any firm reliance and that
Is our constitutions this We do not
desire to have tlnkered with any

When this ten year law WAS made
in 1870, those who made It certainly
had a. reason for Il and the same
holds good today, even TO a greater

The strong, convincing line of talk

and 7 am always rather inclined to
ward the new way II Il is RIGHT.
While I was turning the matter over
in my mind I noticed, one evening ON
my way home, a truckman unloading
a number OF cases of FRANCO
AMERICAN FOOD PRODUCTS on
the sidewalk IN front Of a local retail
grocers s. The cases were all plainly
stenciled. - Doz. L Pints," - Doz.

myself. THAT looks good 10 ne, it's
straight. ! know how much each of
those cans contains, and 50 does the
dealer or any one else
Then and there I decided that Mon
tauk products would be put up IN
standard packages with the contents
plainly specified and guaranteed. For
almost two years we have been sell
ing our goods on this basis, and am
satisfied that il is the best way.
Every package is marked Full

tee. The can in this package is
guaranteed 10 contain a Fun Pint L.
s Standard liquid measure, appears
on each carton.
When we cannot continue 10 sell a
pint or quart of a certain article
for the present price we viii advance
our trade and retail selling prices. but
Will not reduce the quantity and leave
buyers in the dark as 10 how much
they are getting or supposed 10 get
We find that FULL MEASURE" IS
a good talking point with our sales
men and that il convinceS both the
retailer and the consumer that they
are getting a square deal.
That's what We want 10 give them.
If We can't do business that way
I'm sure We couldn't do it any other
way
Does not that read as though
it came from a man who means
what he saws? Could ANYBODY
print a better advertisement fer
himself than that: Is it not the
