DO You Know
Who Pays for Your Advertising?

Who Pays for Your Advertising?
Did you know that intelligent and judicious adver-
tising doesn't cost the man who pays the bill cent
Well, then who DOES pay for the advertising if the
merchant himself doesn't?
The unise patrons of the store that is NOT adver-
tised are the persons who pay for advertising.
By advertising, merchant increases his turnovers
and sells four or FIVE times much merchandise as
he would il he did not advertise The real cost of
selling that merchandise is reduced with each turn
over Thus, the amount he invested in advertising
comes back to him and he is enabled to do business
on closer margin of profit on each turnover than
the merchant who doesn't use advertising to In
crease the volume of his business.
So, after all, the merchant who advertises doesn't
pay for his advertisements, neither does his GUS
TONER'S. It's the patrons of the UNADVERTISED
store who pay for themI

CANADA HARNESSTNG
 STREAMS FOR POWER.

Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 16-Cana- da. is harnessing its streams and turn ing the power to production. A two year survey by the Dominion Govern ment which is just being completed shows that wheels and turbines to the extent of 2,471,00o horsepower are now in operation. This represents only 5.9 per cent. of the waterpower re- sources, which the survey places at 41.700,0O0 horsepower.
 Demand upon the industrial centres for greater production is increasing with the cultivation of new stretches tionaI Railways in the prairie prov zinces. Industrial experts are urging rapid installation of hydro power plants with a view to providing ma chinery and other farm supplies at lower cost and thus hasten in a meas ure settlement of the idle lands.
 Despite high cost of construction. hydro power development installed in the last year, according to the sur vey totals 560,060 horsepower An in vestment of s475, 100000 represents water power now available Should the rate of growth in installation dur ing the next fifteen years be continued on the basis of the last fifteen the in yestment will aggregate S1,o00,0o0.
 It would require 1S,500,000 tons of coal a year to develop the power now available through the harnessfng of Canada,s streams. At the present cost of coal in Canada the saving represents S,000,000. The survey points out that if the developm ent proeramrne continues for fifteen years the saving in coal alone would be- come $336, 100000 a year.
