If anybody wants to make million dollars. there arc plenty of ways to do Here few suggestions sub mtted at ad banquet by the director of east ern advertising company:
 The first and most obvious "hunch" is to invent a new automobile fuel cheaper gasoline There might even be billion in that.
 The second is invent puncture proof and anti skid tire although the speaker failed to mention it. there certainly millions waiting for the man who vii invent a substitute for rubber
 If none these suggestions appeals to the would-be millionaire, he might try making noneakable fountain pen.
 Or else a shoe that with couple of snaps ib stead of laces buttons.
 Or else quickly adjustable corset that doesn't neet facing.
 Or a moth-proof wardrobe for summer homes.
 Or ar automatic rug beater, window screen that rolls up like window shade a non-buttonng and non choking mems collar a receptacle containing iodine the of antisepcs with of applying it quickly and removing the stains quickly.

 Increases have been general throughout the United States the only noteworthy exceptions being orchard lands irrigated lands in the northwest, which apparently had been over-valued before.
 The percentage increases in value of farm lands in past year by of the United States North Atlantic States 10 per cent eastern part of the North Central States per cent; part of North Central States 2 per cent South Atlantic States, 19 per cent South Central States Il per cent Far Western States II per cent entire United States, 11.5 per cent.
