Have You Ever
Seen Candy Manufactured? =?

Our reason for asking this question is that
we have recently enjoyel this experience and
from what we know and saw, believe that the
lines of confectionery for which we have the
exclusive agency are produced under con-
ditions that do not always exist in candy
kitchens.
We wish to call your particular attention to
existing conditions as we found them under
which Liggett's and Fenway Chocolates are
manufactured We found an immense candy
kitchen that for cleanliness and modern sani-
tary arrangements cannot be excelled-we saw
nothing but the finest grade of materials used
in their manufacture and we. are convinced
that it is impossible for any one to have a
higher regard for even the smallest detail hav-
ing to do with the manufacture of a product of
such nature We are all of us more or less
particular about the conditions under which
ANYTHING is produced, which is intended for in
ternal consumption We saw nothing in this
candy plant that would, in any way, deter us
from eating Liggett's and Fenway Chocolates
or from offering Liggetts and Fenway Choco-
lates to Our families.
After having seen them produced and still
feeling/towa them must in order to
talk to you this way, you we'll believe that
it must be impossible to produce finer grade
of goods for the money.
We have Liggetts Chocolates, the best in
the world, in 2 lb. h., and IL lb boxes, Soc
the pound.
We have Fenway Chocolates in pound and
half pound packages; price 6oc per pound.

POundIng Meat Prices Is Packers Neat
Scheme For Big Rise n Little Later On

Another seven-day sensation has run
its course and the country is eating
meat again. Laboring men have
awakened to the realization that good
meat is a useful article OF diet and
they have decided that 1t is bad policy
tn starve ones stomach, even to spite
the greedy meat trust. The labor
unions of Detroit showed splendid
judgment by refusing to indorse the
most senseless and unreasonable I'M
dertaking which has ever asked for
the support of the laboring classes.
The battlecry Of the eat-no-meat army
was Down With the Packers" The
absurdity OF the undertaking becomes
apparent when II Is realized that there
is absolutely no possibility OF reach
ing the packer with any retaliatory
measures which the consuming public
may see ut to institute. The packer Is
middleman in the strictest sense Of
the world. II the wholesale price
goes down he Immediately reduced the
price which he pays the producer.
Every blow aimed at the meat trust
by the consumer misses the mark and
hits the FARMER Will lull lOiNV'
II is a fact that the packer prefers
a lower range OF prices than those
that have prevailed during the past
six months because experience has
taught him that high prices curtail
consumption and greatly reduce the
volume OF the meat trade. The packer
cannot, in the very nature OF things,
make large profit on individual
sales; his profit on each transaction is
small and his only hope OF making
large profits Is in the handling of large
quantities OF meat aud It's by-products.
II will be seen, then, that the recent
breaking of market prices for live
stock and meat, which the boycott
army has cited as a sample of tia
work, is favorable to clearinghouse
interests rather than against them.
1t is extremely difficult for the mex.
perienced bystander to understand
why any class OF tradesmen should
desire to bring about a decline in the
selling price Of the commodities which
they handle. II they understood the
packing business thoroughly, however,
they would not wonder so much. The
meat business, from the standpoint OF

ing classes OF large cities when the
farmer decides 10 withhold his pro-

sumner can dictate prices is the veriest
rot. The farmer can live without the
population of the city but the count

II the farmer goes out OF business. The
only valid reason that can be assigned
for the present nigh cost OF living, is
the fact that the farmers OF the coun-
try, crippled by the high cost of labor,
have slackened their pace and are not
producing as much, per capita, as they
formerly did. The population con
