THE MARGIN ABOVE COST

The average advance on the cost Of
goods from producer TO consumer is

every person who buys an article pays
not far from twice as much as ii cost

trading goes to the middeman or
transportation companies Very much
OF 1t is required to meet waste, for
which the ultimate consumer is not a
little responsible.
There is always loss to be guarded
against due to sudden changes in pop

on hand to be sold at sacrifice. The
consumer always wants not only the
best of everything, but the best look

takes toll of the trade. Then there is
the inevitable waste and depreciation

study of merchandising in almost any
line will show the public that the cost
OF living can be substantially re-

AIR RAID ON PARIS.

morning, or rather arose from sleep
less beds, with a shudder of horror
that gradually became a feeling o.
rage and a cry for vengeance and

of the raiders had been expected and
that friends left one another on these
bright moonlit nights with the part

began swarming into the streets

German squadrons crossed the French
lines, thirty-two machines in all and

that thirty thousand pounds of eX-
plosives were rained over the city and
its suburbs
The amount OF material damage
appears to be rather small as COM
pared with the magnitude of the
German endeaVor.
1t was twenty minutes past eleven
when the first alarm was sounded

of the heavy anti aircraft guns could
be heard in the distance to the north
