time. Thru hard study of the Inland
and American Printer magazines and
other publications, together with assist
anee OF the journeymen of the Smith

come an all around printer today as it
ever way.

ambitious young man. In addition to
his ability as q compositor he has a
wonderful baritone voice which bids fair
TO place him among the headliners.
All the entrants in the contest were
above the average, but Charley's was
fiveu first place by the Judges on ac-
count of the exceptional reliability of
the ad. According to Mr.. Cecil Conner.

hasty reader.

FORTUNE IN SELF-SHAvING

The man who shaves himself for fifty
years, instead OF letting the barber do
the work, may save a fortune of Sll 900
by his industry, according to Aberdeen
mathematicians. providing he takes the
money saved by shaves and every five
years put it out at compound. interest.

he had shaved himself three times
