them informed regarding their
methods of preparing and distribu-
ting foods. So through advertising
they reach the purchasing agent OF
the household and tell her about the
quality, variety and dependability OF
their foods.
Advertised standard brands sell
quickly. It naturally follows that
because of this the article does not
remain on the dealers shelf over a
long period of time. The content,
therefore, is fresher.
Who Pays for Advertising.
Very often we hear the ques-
ton, "Who pays for the advertis-
ing?" When manufacturer spends
sum to advertise, provided It IS
an adequate amount, he has created
an immense market for his prod
ucts. The manufacturer, to meet
the demand, buys in greater quah-
tity lots which is saving, and
under the same overhead expense,
with better organization, he can get
all the economies of large scale pro-
duction-namely, cheapening cost
of production and decreasing cost
Of individual units. This means the
dealer can purchase the products
cheaper and get better quality, for
rine times out of ten the 9manufac-
turer can afford and is putting
better quality in the product.
Ads Pay for Themselves.
The housewife does not pay for
this advertising, for she gets bet
ter quality product and cheaper; the
dealer does not pay for the adver-
tising for he is able to purchase the
product cheaper and his clerks can
sell more under the same overhead
expense; the manufacturer does not
pay for the advertising for he can
produce product cheaper with bet
ter quality. Then we come to the
fact that advertising pays for it
self.
Advertising has taken its place
permanently in the conduct of
American business. We have re-
Gently all had occasion to note how
the United States government gave
recognition to the value of adver-
tising space by using it SO literally
in selling Liberty bonds and in en-
gineering all the special war fund
drives.

The display of the Heligoland sec
ton of the kings stamp collection
before the Royal Philatelic society
on October 10, will provide an aus
picious opening to the philatelic
season of lol9-20. As honorary pa
tron and past president of the So
ciety, the king has, on numerous
occasions, given proof Of his inter-
est in the hobby. This will be the
first occasion on which any portion
of the royal collection has been ex-
hibited in public since the outbreak
of war.
Sentimental Interest.
A sentimental as we'll as phila-
telic interest attaches to the postage
stamps issued i'll the island under
British rule, and most collectors
have at one time or another come
under their fascination. By a
curious anomaly, although embossed
with the likeness of Queen Vic
toria. they were "made in Germany
the dies being engraved by German
artists and the stamps printed at the
Prussian afterwards imperiaD gov
crnment printing works, Berlin.
When the island was ceded to Ger
many on August 5, 1890, the original
plates Of the Heligoland stamps
were sold to stamp dealer in Ger
many, who proceeded to reprint
from them ad infinitum. To differ
entiate between the originals and re-
impressions of these issues is an
intricate and absorbing study.
Newfoundland and Prince.
There is some talk of special
stamp to commemorate the recent
visit Of the prince of Wales to New
foundland. His likeness has ap-
peared in the past upon two post
age stamps of Britain's oldest col
ony, as Prince Edward of York on
the one-half cent of 1897, and as
naval cadet on the Scent
piece of the royal portrait series
of 1911.
Italian stamp collectors have or
ganized the first public stamp ex-
hibition ON large scale since 1914,
which will open in the Mole An
tonelliana at Turin on October IL.
The exhibition is under the patron
age of the queen of Italy, one of the
most enthusiastic of royal philatel-
lists, and is intended to commemo-
rate the first centenary of the
Italian post as shown by the early
Sandman stamped letter sheets, de-
signated "Cavallini di Sardegna." A
congress of Italian philatelic So
cieties and an international stamp
bourse are to be held concurrently

Stockholders Get Eight Per
Cent Cash Dividends And
Bonus Of Stock.

The Salem Fruit Union today cut a
nice large sized melon, not exactly on
the Standard Oil company proportions,
but about the largest melon that has
ever been cut in the county. The cut
ting was done at the annual meeting
Of the stockholders held at the office
of the Fruit Union.
AS result of the prosperous bust
ness Of the Union the past year, and
especially the high grade salesmanship
that brought the highest prices for
fruits, each Of the $50 members finds
himself or herself in the possession Of
100 per cent more stock in the Union
than in the past year, in the way of
a dividend.
Not only that. but every member Of
the Union was given cash dividend
Of eight per cent in real money. That
is if member owned $l00 worth of
stock, there was paid cash dividend
of IS.
Stock Dividend Paid
Then in addition to issuing to each
member an additional block of stock
equal to the holdings Of the past year,
there was issued in stock, three per
cent on the amount Of fruit delivered.
That is. prices were obtained in an ad-
vance of three per cent of the amount
already paid those who delivered fruit
to the Union.

government took $4,000 of this, allow
