But if so, are YOU captazing all of them? Is it

whine he had no capital opportunity to start

Greatest Advertiser of Them All Now do you think
there is any direct connection between the two dis

RESULTS OF HIGH COST PAPER

The paper producers, in main
tanning the present high prices,
are realing placing a tax on the
distribution of intelligence but
perhaps the papermaker may no.
be influenced by this condition.
There is another point directly
affecting his interest that he may
we'll consider. The existing prices
are leading publishers to use the
cheapest and coarsest grades.
The public is being educated to
accept inferior stock in it's news
paper.
When the war is over and the
causes Of the high prices are re-
moved. many publishers will be
likely to keep right on using
cheap paper, The public having be
come educated to it. It is the
rule in all industries that inferior
material produces the least profit.
This must hurt the paper trade.
It would seem good business for
the producer to take care of tho
newspaper publisher in the pre-
sent exigency and give him the
lowest possible figures, rathcr
than drive him into a corner and
very likely make him a perman-
ent user Of the cheapest grades
of his product.

MAKING A SUCCESS

We know that it will be pleasing
news to the many friends of Mr.. W.
L. Colbert, for many years collector
of taxes, to know that he is making a
success in the manufacture of soap.
When Mr.. Colbert left the collect
Or's office he bought controlling in.
terest in the r. L. Lang Soap Com
pany, and Immediately began the
manufacture of this indispensable ar
Iticle.
Meeting Mr. Colbert at the postof-
flee yesterday, he informed US that he
is able TO sell every cake he can man
ufacture.
He is manufacturing a very popu-
lar soap. and is receiving unsolicited
number of exceedingly fine testi-
monials.
a number say that one cake of the
Colbert soap will go as far as two
cakes of any other soap that they
have ever used, and that It gives the
utmost satisfaction.
The washerwomen are particularly
delighted with it.
Who knows but in the years 90
come. and perhaps they are not a
long way of, that the Colbert soap
will take rank with Colgate's?
If our retail and wholesale mer-
chants were to push the sale of this
soap it might help make for Ocala a
place in the manufacturing world.
