KNOW YOUR FACTORIES !


The Rogers Co.. 2136 Pacific
av., Tacoma manufacturer and
importer of tea, coffees, spices,
extracts, ETC., has grown since its
incorporation in 1908, when a
small building on 25th and G St.
housed the establishment, to a
corporation doing a business of
$250,000 year.
The present plant occupies a
three and a half story building
and employees 40 persons. The
raw materials such as coffees,
spices, peanuts, tea and extract
products are imported from all
over the world.
Coffee Yields Curios
An interesting collection of
refuse removed from coffee ber-
ries shows coins from China,
Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, Dutch
East Iidies, Salvador and Equa-
dor.
There were beads from the
South seas, nails from the Ar
gentine and. innumerable other
articles from tropical countries.
This gives some idea as to the
importing scope of this Tacoma
industry.
The entire top floor Of the
building is devoted to a manu-
featuring plant. This floor con-
tains a coffee and two peanut
roasters. The coffee rooster has
a maximum output of 1000
pounds a day.

do this, he makes love to the fac
tors daughter who believes in
him implicitly and who falls in
love with him. Trent then learns
that the love is mutual and he
refuses to take the gun she

CONAN FARCE
COMING TOO

at Pays to Advertise" the sue
cessful farcical fact which Cohan
and Harris announce for produc-
ton at the Tacoma theater, Feb.
1926, is described as being just
one hearty laugh after another
for two and a half hours. Conan
and Harris declare that 1t is the
funniest farce they have ever pro-
duced, an assertion that seems to
be borne out by the tremendous
throngs which nightly gather
throughout the country to watch
the evolution of an idle rich
young man, who, through the in
spiration of love and the soap in
dustry, is transformed into a live
wire in the commercial world.

leaving the rooster is cooled and
passed through the chatting and
grinding machines, from whence
it passes through shafts to the
next floor for packing. All pro-
ducts are packed and prepared
for the market on the second
floor.
The peanut roasters have a
maximum capacity of $50 pounds
every roast. After this process
is completed, they pass through
machines which remove the skins
and break the kernels. After the
bad nuts are removed, salt is
added and the peanuts pass
through the grinding machine
which turns out 525 pounds of
peanut butter an hour.

To Our Patrons

The situation in which all
newspapers of the country now
find themselves is precarious, To
say the least. This applies es-
pecially to local papers. The
advance in the cost of every
thing used by us ranges all the
way from 100 to 400 per cent. ,
In some cases more.
We have made no advance in
the price of subscription and
none is contemplated, though
we are planning to make this
paper larger and better than
ever. Our advance in prices on
commercial printing have been
very slight compared with the
cost OF material used. A slight
advance in the price of adver-
tising will be necessary this
fall.
We appeal to our delinquent
subscribers to Day mp as quickly
as possible-you are going to paw
sometime and we need the mon
ey now.
TO the business people we ap-
peal for a continuance of hb-
eral share of your commercial
printing and advertising. We
are getting better equipped ev-
cry day to serve you in these
lines and the better your patron
age the better We can serve you.
Thisis in no sense complaint.
Our business has been as good
as we deserved, but we are put
ting our patrons on notice that
we expect to deserve even bet
ter patronage in the future.

WAR SHIPPING INSURANCE

A matter about which there
has been very little said in the
press but which is great
achievement of the Democratic
administration is the insurance
bureau under control of the treas.
ury department. At the time it
was suggested Republican Con-
gressmen opposed it. But it
went through all right and it
proved big paying investment.
The war insurance bureau has
made profit of S2,0OO.OOO that
has gone into the treasury of the
United States. Mr.. w. G. Nc
Adoo, who had much to do in
getting the war insurance start
ed, is proving to be one of the
greatest Secretaries Of the
Treasury and that in time of
great national peril. The build
er of the New York Subway has
shown wonderful capacity in
controlling the finances of the
country through alarming condi-
tons, avoiding panics, establish
ing the reserve bank system,
the naval credit organization and
other plans that have made the
country independent of Wall
Street. Instead of having the
money supply concentrated in
the Eastern cities it is placed in
banks all over the country for
the convenience and use of the
many, not the few and the favor

A French View OF Wilson

This is translation, made
for The Advertiser, of the char
acterizatiOn of President Will
son which Professor Jean Izoulet
contributed to the Paris weekly
Revue:
Physically and morally, what
sort of man is President Wilson: :
A man in his fifties, large and
lean, of calm audacity, of sa-
gacious mind, and of an obsti-
nate character.
A man Of ardent conviction
and of clear vision. And is it
not appropriate to repeat here
the saying of our Saint Cyran
Whence blaze, thence q light?
A man full of science, who has
a great magnetic force IN "the
purity of his moral vision" for
his principles are as sound as
the Ten Commandments"
Of Scotch-lrish blood.
His mother? "One of the
most brilliant and best of wo.
man."
His father? A giant with
the head Of a lion, professor of
theology in the Presbyterian
Church."
Those of his partizans," says
his biographer Miss Hosford.
who affirm with insistence thai
one atom of heredity has more
influence on the devolopement
of character than thousand
times as much of environment
Will have the satisfaction of find
ing long lines of ancestral vlr-
ility Ill the two families Wood
row and Wilson,"
A solid technician and at the
same time an expert practitioner
OF the science and art of polit les
and bringing into politics a new
spirit.
That is, physically and moral
ly, President Wilson.

TAXATION.

The principle of the Demo.
cratic revenue bill, recently pass.
ed, The New York Times com.
plains, is "the same intentional
discrimination against wealth
and profits as that embodied in
the income tax"
In selecting men for govern
mental service, the principle
should be to select those who
have the ability to serve best
So, in selecting men to pay for
government, the principle should
be to select those best able to
pay. That is not discrimination
against wealth.

ENORMOUS MEAT PROFITS

They were arguing in Con
greSS last week about the hipl
price of beef when it was shown
that beefsteak was selling il
Washington City at 3S cents pei
pound. Cattle were selling a
from So to Sl1 per hundred
pounds to the beef packers
These same packers did not lose
a single pound, utilizing hide
halr, ho0f, entrails. 1t was
shown that while cattle was sell
ing at low prices the pachers
were declaring dividends or
their capital stock of so to 70 Der
cent.
The investigation of these
houses and their methods as pro.
posed by Congress is bitterly
opposed by the packers.
While Mr. Borland of Missouri
was discussing the subject, MIR.
Lever of South Carolina said:
Recently in my State two of
the leading small cities are co
operating to establish small
packing houses, as IT were, on a
cooperative or community basis.
