by Miss Carrie Greenlaw contralto, Keith
Ryan tenor, and w. I. Gould baritone.
We cannot praise too highly each num-
Der of the program. Two of the members
were formally Dresden girls, Miss Barker
a very able teacher, who taught many
years in the public schools; Mrs. Drawn,
a graduate of Bridge Academy and one
of Dresden's active, smart young wo-
men.
After the program the floor was cleared
and dancing was enjoyed with music by
Lees orchestra until a late hour. About
300 people attended the entertainment and
over so couples remained for the dance.
The opening was certainly a great sue
cess. The Masonic order has reasons to
be proud of it's new hall. 1t is a building
that has been greatly needed in the vii
lage for some years. With heroic work
on the part of the order it was started
and is now all but completed at cost
of $1,000 to $4,000 and is truly well worth
the effort. 1t has a banquet hall, very
fine dance hall and a large, pretty Ma
sonic hall and parlor.
Dances will be held through the sum-
mer and good music furnished.

SUPREME COURTS DISSOLUTION
OF TOBACCO TRUST HAS BROUGHT
RIVALRY OF SUCCESSOR CONCERNS

the Combination or successor COM
panies. One of the principal causes
of this unfavorable profit shown Of
smaller companies has been a much
higher ratio Of manufacturing costs
to sales. The chief explanation is
apparently found in their small scale
operations and less efficient organiza =
ton. The smaller companies have
been at marked disadvantage with
respect to the cost of distribution"
The decreasing rate of profit of the
Independents is ascribed to increases
in selling and advertising costs since
the dissolution. The general conclu-
sions Of the investigation are thus
stated in the bureaus report:
In conclusion it may be stated that
the study of prices, costs. and profit

ing into consideration other factors

that the decree of dissolution has re-

try, but has not affected wholesale or
retail prices. The successor COM
panies have also competed with the
smaller tobacco concerns and, collec-
lively have won business from them
in some branches and lost to them in
others. AS consequence OF COM
petition the rate of profit of the sue.
cessor companies has been reduced,
although their rate of profit is still
high. In general, this competition
has seriously reduced the profit of the
other companies.
This reduction in profits has not
been caused by increased cost of
manufacture, but by. increased ex.
penses Of distribution, and principally
by the increase in expenditures for
advertising. AS the sale OF tobacco
products depends largely on the ad-
vertisement of brands, competition in
the tobacco business necessarily in.
