CACTUS PAINT BEFORE BURBANK

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
sir: Your article crediting Mr. Burbank.
Of botanical fame. with the discovery Of
making paints from the juice Of cactus
leaves is interesting because Of the fact
that some one else, a long time ago, dis
covered the same thing.
Paints and whitewash made from the
juice Of the cactus have been used and are
now used extensively in Paraguay Uru-
quay and Argentina. and have proved very
satisfactory.
I admire Mr. Burbanks works and dis
coveries very much and great credit is due
him, but the credit for the above "discov-
cry" is misplaced in your article OF even
date. JUSTICE"

No matter what the article is, unless it should be
something whose selling prize is as fixed as that OF

advertiser is to sell it for less than the merchant
who does not advertise.
For, in spite of his advantages buying buying in
large quantities for cash short credit taking in
start advantage of buying opportunities his selling
advantage is the decisive factor For he is enabled
to count his profits large aggregate of sales
not compelled to secure them from few sale, for he
would be taxing small number of customers with
the entire support of MS business.
A store that makes net profit of $100ina day from
sales to three hundred customers is sure to sell to
each of those customers on closer margin Of profit
than is the nonadvertising store that is compelled
to make enough to cover daily expense OF $50 out
of sa es made to fifty customers.
If you one daily customers of the merchant
whoadvertises you are paying but three-hundred-

are of the fifty daily customers of the non-adver

He SAYS it was the toughest road
