In the deepest places thus far found. it's bottom Is at least 1,600 feet below sea level

Two Good Names Are
 Better Than One

If the name of a reputable dealer is linked with that of a manufacturer of national repu- tation in the exploitation of a trade marked article it is a double protection to the con- sumer.
 It puts a two-fold guarantee behind the article sold.
 This is where the great strength of cooperation lies.
 When dealers and manufac- turer link their good names be- hind the advertising in the local newspapers there is a pull that is sure to bring results.
 In such a case two good names frequently stand for great riches
 If any manufacturer who de- sires information regarding the advantages of newspaper adver- Using will address the Bureau of Advertising, American News paper Publishers Association, World Building, New York, it will be glad to answer questions.
