DAMAGE
IS EVIDENT

The frost that visited the citrus
groves in California is now being
felt in the manufacturing industries.
For a time it was believed that the
were exaggerated. as the
weeks have worn on, the real dam
age is sown and the loss foots into
millions. The orders that were SEM
to the lumber mills and box factories
have all been cancelel. At Hobart
Mills. where the summer months
and most of the winter is put in
making fruit boxes. arc practically
idle in regard to this work. The loss
to this industry figures into n large
fortune. and this is only OF the many
plants that are affected. The COM
pany cut a large quantity OF lumber
for box making purposes. filed sew
eral store houses with boxes. and
the boxes are now on hand. 1t is
safe to state that frost in California
will make hard times at the box
factory for several seasons to come.
as the obstruction of citrus orchards
followed in many cases.

HAS VERY
EvENTFUL LIFE

The oldest of the pioneer prospec-
tors OF Sierra County, Cal, J. H.
Squires. died lately at the age of 80,
and in obituaries of this old-time res
ident it is noted as an interesting cpl
sode of his adventurous career that
in 1872 he joined a band OF train rob
bers and took part in the first train
robbery in the state. His conviction
for this ~peccadillo caused a slight in
terruption of eleven years in his
prospecting, but after his release he
took to the hills again, and found
gold in a secret canyon.

Advertising and Why in Pays

Why it pays to advertise. and why it paws IL buy ADVERTISED
goods:
Because the advertiser has done something 10 inspire conf
dence.
He has not only explained the value and usefulness OF his pro-
duet but has put his personality and reputation behind his state
mcnts.
He believes in his goods to the extent of investing his cap;-
tai, not only in making the goods right. but, but in advertising,
which will not prove permane nelly profitable if he fails to make
eood-secure repeat orders.
The advertising is not only a protection to the trade name, but
it is the advertisers guarantee of quality
You are justified in being suspicious of unadvertised goods. BE-
cause, however much confidence the dealer or manufacturer may
have in them, he has o encngh faith in them o spend money III
telling othes OF Their goodness
1t always pays to advertise good goods. and il pays to buy
advertised good.
