Prices Advanced

The following letter will show rea-
son for advance in price.
Baltimore, December, 10, 1920.
Mr.. Albert. R. Moseley, Jr.,
Salters Depot, S. c.
Dear Sir
We have received your letter of
December 9Th, and thank you for
your order for "Patacake", but before
shipping it, we think We had better
give you todav's prices, as per e1clos-
ed list.
On December 1St, we were compell-
ed to advance the price Of "Patacake"
on account of the higher cost Of the
packages, ingredients, and labor. Even
at the advanced price "Patacake" is
still a very attractive buy, for the in.
telligent housekeeper, as it will still
save her about 500 in the cost of her
cake against the old way Of making
it.
C. A. Gambrill Mfg, Co.,
R. C. McGill, Vice Pres.
carry on hand at all times full
supply of "Patacake" and the above
will show to you that l have not ad-
vanced the price on my own account
and when ever / have to advance it
is the last resort as it is my pride to
serve my customers best quality as
cheap as possible.

name Buick first became linked with the
automobile industry. To-day, in equal meas

policy that has caused the Buick car to occupy
the position it holds in the public mind.

jured about o'clock Thursday after.
noon by the automobile of DIR. NJ. o.
Eddy of Jericho, hitting. the child and
knocking him down, while he was play
ing near the Pioneer in Montpelier. The
accident took place near the curve in
the road, where the trolley line crosses
the steam road. Arnold, with other
boys, was playing, Mr.. Eddy was com.
ing along with his auto and blew his
horn, but apparently the child did not
see him for he ran towards the machine
far enough SO that the wheels did not
hit him, but he was thrown down and
dragged some distance before the car
could be stopped He was badly
bruised. He was taken in the Barber
G. Lanier ambulance to the hospital,
where, last evening, he was as comfort
able as could be expected with good
chances of recovery, no indication Of in
ternal Injuries having developed. He
was bruised considerably and one eye
was in bad shape as result Of the
accident. DIR. Eddy reported the acct
dent to the secretary of state, after the
boy was taken to the hospital. In his
conversation he said he thought he was
going between Is and 20 miles an hour,
but in his report he states 10 miles
an hour. Bystanders do not attach

Leonard Brown, alias Hodges, who
has been serving time in the county
Jail, was taken back to Taunton, Mass,
by Louis f. Calligan, lieutenant in
the police force of that city. He came
here Thursday afternoon and, after
calling upon Chief p. j. Connolly, he
went to the Jail to see his prisoner.
Hodge was arrested here and convicted
Of stealing articles from the room of
Frederick Dover. ale il wanted in
Taunton on similar charge An in
dictment was found against him, but,
upon his plea of elemency made to the
prosecuting attorney, and the promise
that he would, if given a chance, make
good, the youth was allowed his liber-
ty, but now has to go back to face the
charge against him in Taunton.
The fire department was called out
about $3.50 o'clock Thursday afternoon
for blaze in the house of A. Fernan-
dez on Berlin street, and had it not
been for the use of the new equipment
there would have been quite a water
damage at least. In spite Of the fact
that several drivers of automobiles did
not get out of the way of the truck on
the way to the fire, Ernest Kaiser, the
new driver, made a good run About
one half tank Of chemicals was used
in putting out the fire. which was burn
ing in two places. This fact caused
Chief V. B. Persons and Deputy Fire
Marshall A. G, Preble, who was with
Chief Persons, to make thorough in
vestigation. II appears that Mrs. Fer
nsndez had left some clothes hanging
over the back of a chair, near the
kitchen stove, to dry and that they
were too close to the stove and caught
on fire. Mrs. Fernando, with her boy,
was lying down in another room in the
house and when she was awakened BY
