The exhibits show, in a remarkably

surgical Instruments as well as the
various forms of sterilization with
which each field outfit is equipped.
The dressing of wounds is brought to
the front by the use of lay figures,
explaining clearly the care witt
which the wounded are handled. The
most minute apparatus carried in the
kits of the Red Cross worker are
exhibited, showing their use, even
down to the patent magnet, used for
extracting particles of steel from the
eye and thus saving the sight which
otherwise might be lost.

was influenced to make an appropria-
ton for the next year of $4,000 and
erect building with capacity OF ten
times the business that was being
done at that time The $4,000 ex-
penditure increased the business that
year 10 2,126,763 pounds.
"The sixth year this factory was
oyerworked. the output representing
I i11,3Ss.S22 pounds. Since that time
the appropriation for advertising has
been Increased year after year pro
portionately with the increase in
business"
Mr.. Reynolds is a firm believer in
surrounding himself with able lieu
tenants. AS early as 1885 he effected
an arrangement with some or his en-
ployes, whereby they would share in
the profits of the business. In 1893 a
company was formed and incorporat-
cd. The percentage Of profits that
employees were receiving represented
the percentage OF stock they secured
in the company A number Of the
same employees are engaged in this
business today.
