Inc newspapers OF Vermont give
hundreds of dollars worth of space
to booming Vermont for which they
do not receive one cent; but when
the State of Vermont advertises in
the Vermont papers 1t does so
through the Hays Advertising Agency
which agency collects from Is TO %
per cent. from the newspapers. Why?
Why should the papers give 100 per
cent. of writeups for nothing and In
return, when the state advertising
comes along, only receive Is per
cent to IS per cent. OF the amount?
What value is the Hays Agency to
the State of Vermont compared with
the newspapers? The State loses
nothing, but the papers do. When a
state advertisement is run, every
newspaper that carries that lad"
must pay tribute TO the Hays
Agency.-Vermont Advance.
The Banner formerly held view
similar to the one that the Advance
expresses but after investigation and
consideration came to the conclusion
several years ago that the Hays
agency is entitled to a commission on
the state advertising which it places.
A live advertising agency in the state
is an advantage to the Vermont
newspapers. 1t develops and produc-
es business that they would not get
otherwise. Years ago, before the
Advance or the Evening Banner were
born, the Vermont newspapers had
an unfortunate experience with Yer
mont advertising agencies. Several
of these agencies were started and
ran only long enough to owe the
good big sum and then
go into bankruptcy. The Hays
agency has lived and paid it's bills
and the Vermont papers have profit

We are convinced that the Hays adj

For thousands of years primitive man
patiently shaped his pottery by hand
The earliest pottery was made from in
ferior clay. In early times the great
est center for the production of pottery
was Egypt. Next in Importance was
Greek pottery. In almost every re-
spect Roman pottery is inferior to
Greek. In the Medieval Era the
wealthy used dishes of gold and silver
The huge salt-cellar of silver might be
seen on almost every table. For the
humble needs of the poor, dishes of
wood and cups of bone were usually
sufficient. During the twelfth century
the leaden glaze became known to
French people and white enamels were
imported from Italy.
The story of porcelain begins in China

erly esteemed until very recently. The

A Story of Certain Table Furnishings.


having the things about US that we can
enjoy. Every homemaker creates an
atmosphere in her home and sets a
standard for the family when she Sc
lects her table furnishings. The grace
full shape or the artistic design of the
dinner dishes is insensibly FELT and APP
preciated by the diners.
Our present day comfort and enjoy
ment are the result of hard experience
and vigorous activity on the part of
generations that have gone before. We
owe most, in a sense we owe all, of our
present to the past, past which began
IN the old Stone Age; and conscious
ness of this should arouse in US the feel
ing of an obligation to future gener-
atiOns.
Table Linen.-The topic of prehistor-
ic table furnishings may be dismissed
at once with this explanation Among
ancient Greeks tablecloths were IN
known. It is probable that coverings
for the table were first introduced as a
mark of respect in sacrifcial ceremon-
les, after the human race had become
partly civilized After the fall of the
Roman Empire costly tablecloths and
napkins came into fashion. But al
though extravaganza and display mark
ed its introduction, the convenience of
the table Qinen) napkin justified and
standardized its use.
Knives.-The knife as we know it is
a result of slow development from the
most remote ages. When history opens,
men are already using knives of copper.
In literature the earliest mention of the
knife has reference to its use in the
sacrifice. 1t was not until the four
teenth century that the table knife ap-
peared in a class by itself. Since the
seventeenth century, the form of the
table knife has remained substantially
as we know it.
Spoons can be little doubt
that the spoon has come down to US
from remote antiquity, and that pre-
historic man must have felt the need
for it almost as soon as he discovered
the use of a knife. The spoon made its
appearance on the table long before the
table knife was known. The Romans
like the Greeks, used spoons to convey
to the mouth what the fingers could not
manage. The carvings and the decora-
lions on spoons of various periods re-
fleet the interests and the beliefs of the
people who used them. Spoons of
standard size, which are so familiar to
US, have not long been in general use.
The teaspoon, for example, is of COM
paratively recent introduction for tea
itself seems not to have been imported
into Europe until the seventeenth CEN
fury. The dessert spoon likewise was
unknown in England until after the Re
storation. Salt spoons and after-dinner
spoons also are modern Inventions
Humanity waited long for the fork. A
silver fork was found in the ruins at
Pompeii. After the middle of the
seventeenth century the history of the
fork chiefly concerns its spread from
the aristocracy to the more humble cir
cles. The four-pronged fork, conven-
iently curved and adapted to the pur-
pose for which it is used, is of compar-
atively recent origin.
