TOOK HIS TIME.
Bill Gave the Old Man Long Wait
For the Backlog.

Bill Gave the Old Man Long Wait
For the Backlog.
Skipper Norwood was born in lit
tie Nova Scotia town. During the long
winter evenings young Bill used to lie
out in front of the big open fireplace,
and just about the time he had got
warm and comfortable and a trifie
drowsy Norwood senior would make
up his mind the fire was getting low
and send his son out into the snow to
bring in backlog from the wood pile.
Eventually these nocturnal pilgrim
ages got on young Bills nerves, and
one night when his father sent him
out after the backlog the son contin-
ued on past the wood pile and across
country to the nearest seaport. where
he shipped on a whaler.
Nine years later Bill came back. II
was bitter winter night, and the snow
was falling. Bill sneaked up to the
window and looked into the old sitting
room. The fire was burning in the old
fireplace, and Bills father and mother
were seated in front Of IT. He noticed
that the fire was tri1e low. So he
went to the wood pile, selected a big
backlog, carried it into the house and
stood for moment by the fire with
the log on his shoulder.
Father said Bill, 1--WE brought in
that backlog you sent me after"
The old man never budged an inch
Instead he spat into the fire and re-
torted testify:
"Set it on the fire. You've been a
long while gittin' it!'' Saturday Even

THINK 1T OVER
ANY manufacturer can cheaper the
Quality and thereby lower the price of
his product
Any dealer can buy cheapened product
and sell It at a profit for less money than
his competitor Is obliged to ask for
QUALITY goods
The ultimate consumer when he comes
to make use of the cheapened and cut
price product is dissatisfied, and as a re-
suit both manufacturer and dealer
lose a customer.
DOES 1T PAY?
1t certainly does not For a time, per-
haps sales will be increased, but being
wrong in principle, this policy will be a
loser in the end.
