BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children areprobably brlghterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's a grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make US wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not a "patent medicine,
simply a highly concentrated oil-foOd,
without alcohol or harmful drugs It
cannot harm; It improves blood; It bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.

One of the most common falacies is the belief
among manufacturers that if they establish their
brands they will lose the support of the jobber
This is the story of the way in which manu-
facturer established his advertised brand and
still kept the private brands and the good will of big
jobbers
The General Roofing Manufacturing Company
ofSt Louis, established eleven years ago. up to 1911
sold it's goods to jobbers under private brands
There was brand of General" roofing for every
obber that bought
But the heads of the company that
change was inevitable. Originally there large
profits in the roofing business But the industry
developed price competition became keener. The
jobber was compelled to buy as cheaply as he could,
and manufacturers tempted to cut the quality
in order to obtain the large orders.
The General Roofing Manufacturing Company
concluded that it would be possible to get the
business of the large jobbers and at the same time
to maintain the quality, if there was something
distinctive about the product-something to make
the consumer and retailer call for it by
A plan was therefore adopted of putting two
marks on the product-one, the obber's private
brand BEFORE the other, the trademark of the
manufacturer.
The word "Certain-teed was coined and adopted
trade mark. The company continued to put
out it's second and third grade products under private
brands But the Certain -teed label was put only
the highest quality, and with it the private brand
of the jobber, so that there many brands of
Certain -teed roofing, but all of the high
quality.
Since 1911 the General Roofing Manufacturing
Company has spent approximately $75OOOO in
promoting and advertising the Certain-teed label.
The company states that it would not sell the
label for far more than it has cost.
Today, large jobbers have been known to refuse
carload shipments of the first quality goods labeled
with the jobber's own brand, because through some
oversight the "Certantee label was not put on
each roll. The labels have had to be sent by
messenger and pasted on before the obber would
accept the goods.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-05-27
WORKING WITH THE JOBBER

The growth of the General Roofing Manu-
featuring Company has been remarkable.
While the roofing industry as whole fell off in
1914, the General Roofing business showed a very
substantial increase Just after the outbreak of the
European war, this company put $150,00O into
remarkable campaign of advertising. The result
was that while non-advertising manufacturers were
feeling depression, the General" opened up 1915
with an increase of 19 per cent. for the first two
months. Not one of 1000 employees has been laid
OFT since that campaign started.
The consumer is today paving 90 cents per
square less for Cerain-teed roofing than he paid for
the same quality when the company first started in
a small way and before the brand advertised.
MIR. George M Brown, president is firm advo-
cate OF the economy of advertising He says:
manufacture-h General for instance-says to him
e can ] reduce my n.y. manuactp5ng manu- ring cost greatly by producing

The result of the advertising of the General
Roofing Company, therefore, has been
(D To build up a trademark and good will
worth far more than it's cost.
(2) To bring about notable increase in sales
(3) To reduce the cost to the consumer
(4) To retain and increase the support of the
obber.
On this point a quotation from the General
Roofing Company itself:
"The jobber
business himself giving service
credits backed business policy
of goods"
Determination and ingenuity will solve the
private brand problem of the Philadelphia manu-
facturer who wants to control his market but
is afraid to try.

CHAMPIONSHIP
SERIES BEGINS
wHITMANs AND NORRIS TEAMS
TO MEET ON EAST HILL PLAY
GROUNDS THIS AFTERNOON. :.

The Whitmans and the Norris
teams battle this afternoon in the
first game of the series for the cham
pionship of the Twilight league for
1915. These two teams have been
the bitterest rivals all the season and
today's contest can well be looked
forward to as the toughest fight in
the history of the league.
Both Manager Lewis, of the Norris,
and Manager Gould, of the Whit
mans, are confident of taking the
opening game, and each will present
their strongest lineup and use their
best pitcher.
The Norris have lead the league all
season and are fast bunch of play
ers. Although this team is composed
of youngsters yet their team work
and pluckiness has won them many
an uphill battle. Manager Lewis has
the following list of men to pick his
team from: Stiles, Bergin, Hudson,
Brown, Bicker, Love, Fulghum, Nor
gan, SaImons, Forbes, Thames, Cord
on and Diaz.
The Whitmans are more than
anxious to win this years champion
ship as victory for them will keep
the cup in the league for another sea-
son at least. This team has been
strengthened somewhat since the
opening of the season and now pre-
sent a very strong lineup for this
series. Whether or not these veterans
can come up to the pace set by their
younger rivals, is a question. The
Whitmans present on their lineup:
A. Bombay, Motta, Villar, Gould,
Hoffman, j. Graham, Anderson, Wat
son, A. Olsen, Holsen, Bell, A. Bicker,
w. Bombay and Farinas.
The game will start at 5:15 prompt
ly and all players are requested to be
on the field at 5 o'clock The usual
admission to the grand stand will be
charged. Ladies have special invi-
tation, seats free.

BENEFIT GAME
OF BALL WILL
Be PULLED OFF
PICKED TEAM FROM THE CITY
AND FnE MARINES WILL
CROSS BATS FOR VERY
WORTHY OBJECT.

Tickets for the benefit game of
baseball, to be played Friday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock, on the East
Hill Fairgrounds, are now being sold,
and as all receipts from this game
are to be applied to the fund for
the relief of the poor of the city,
there should be good patronage.
Tickets may be had at Hughey's, the
Imperial Cigar store, D'Alemberte's
Hargis, Balkcom's, Central, Whites
Drug stores, and the Crystal Phar-
macy.
Teams will be a picked nine from
the city and the Marines from the
Pensacola navy yard, and, aside from
the good purposes of the benefit
game, some exceedingly good playing
is expected.
This game has been arranged un-
der the auspices of the Pensacola
Equal Suffrage League, of which
Mrs. Walker Ingraham is president,
the league having adopted the sug-
gestion thrown out recently anent
the hard times which some of the
poor were experiencing. Every penny
derived from the game will be ap-
piled to the relief fund, and, through
the league, will be applied to the
fund for the relief of the poor as
above told.
The ladies who have been interest
ing themselves in working up interest
and patronage for this game, some
of them report, say that men have
refused to buy tickets with the re-
mark that if the game was ''going to
be played on the East Hill play
grounds they did not have to pay to
see it, as they could sit on the grass
outside the grandstand." This re-
mark was all very true in every feat
ure, but the object of the game is
of such a charitable one that every
zone who contributes even the price
of a singIe-tieket will be thus con-
tributing to the success of the efforts
put forth in behalf of the poor of
the city.

MUNICH AL BALL
FRIDAY NIGHT

All is in readiness for the Munich
pal Ball, to be given by the Plum
makers next Friday night, and if in
dications can be used as a barometer,
this event will be the most novel as
well as the most entertaining event
ever afforded Pensacola amusement
loving public.
The interest is naturally conferred
upon the music to be furnished by
the Barrancas band, which organiza-
ton will give opportunity to those
who like to dance, moments of real
dancing enjoyment. The many enter
tanning features will be worth the
price of admission. The prizes for
the most attractive costume, as we'll
as the funniest costume for both lady
and gentlemen, bids fair to encourage
many to participate in the entertain
ment.
The Phunmakers wish to announce
to physicians that they can be called
at Phone No. 800 in case they attend
the ball. A phone will be on the
SHAG4C anu oil messages VI CdllS AOI
physicians will receive attention.
The doors will open, or better said,
the enclosure" will open promptly
at 7:30. The entrance will be through
the stone gate leading from West
Garden street. There will be no en-
frances on Palafox street. Promptly
at p. m. the grand march will start,
which will be led by the mayor,
commissioners and city officers. The
Cake Walk for prizes will be a big
feature, and many have signified their
intention of entering this contest.
The Phunmakers wish to impress
upon Pensacolians that this will be
an affair of the highest moral cali
bre.

THREE-IN-ONES
DEFEAT SNAPPERS

The Three-In-Ones chung to their
1000 per cent. yesterday when they
handed a shut-out to the Snappers.
The game was featured by Mcvoy's
pitching. This youngster pitched
seven innings without allowing a hit
and issuing but one pass. He had a
total of seventeen strike-outs to his
credit, striking out the last twelve
men to face him. This youngster has
set record for this league or any
other league around this section.
Nielsen, the Snapper twirler, was
wild and this put men in a position to
score. Errors let in two of the Three
In-Ones' runs, while Reinhardt's deep
double tc left scored another after a
walk.
The Snappers were a little ragged
in their fielding yesterday but one or
two more games will see Manager

Never since Ty Cobb has been in

a batting slump like the present one,
remarked Bill Donovan this morning.
In fourteen times at bat in our games
he did not get anything like base hit.
and he fell away from every fast bali
that cut the plate. He is worried by his
slump, and is trying everything to get
back in his stride, but he is not max
ing any progress. ] guess he will over
come it in due time. but / never saw
TE look worse at the bat than he is
right now. and strange to say it is af
fecting him in more ways than one.
The other day, for instance. he got a
walk and he trotted down the base
line shaking his head as if his mind
was not on his game. He reached first
looking on the ground, and then de-
liberately walked off the bag as if he
was not aware that he could be thrown
out. He was nailed off the bag and
never made an effort to return to the
bag. Ty is worried. and that is why
his slump is continuing"
