Ten years ago the sea off the Cali

goodness Of the sausageS and explain
ed that their tempting quality more
than made up for the slightly higher
price asked for them. In a year the
business had trebled Hams, bacon,
lard and syrup were added to the
farms advertised products, which was
given a name.
An Eastern friend of the father, en-
gagged in the advertising business, Wis
tied the farm one summer, and, up
on going over the business, was filled
with enthusiasm at the still larger
sales that could easily be created.
Still other newspapers were added
to the list and soon small but attract
i've ads appeared also in the magazines.
While the outlay for advertising was
much larger than ever before, the re-
turns soon opened the eyes of the ia
ther and the son. They bought the adj
joining farms, to produce the supply
Of sausages, bacon, etc, which the de
mand indicated. The business was
systematized and organized for more
efficient production.
This was five years ago. Since then
the business has become very lucra-
tive. The father and son are sending
their sausages all over the United
States, the consumption in New York
running, for sausages alone, to GOO
and 800 pounds a day.
The son has given up his intention
of practicing mechanical engineering.
Advertising has created for him a bust
ness which leaves nothing to be de-
sired.
