"sHOWING OFF" THE COLONEL
Storekeeper Had Eye for Business IN
Keeping Good-Lookinq Customer
Waiting for Attention.

A woman in small town asked her
husband, Colonel Blank, to call in at
the dairy when passing to order some
new-laid eggs. After making a brief
demur the colonel yielded. A little
later he called at the shop in question,
quite a small and unimportant estab-
lishment on back street.
Two or three minutes passed; then,
as no one came to serve him, the colo
mel gave a gentle knock on the coun-
ter. This had no effect; so smart
double rap was gwen. Then a curly
headed youngster put his head around
the door and announced, Fathers
a-comin'."
BY the time the father arrived the
colonel was boiling with rage.
"What do you mean by keeping me
waiting all this timer" he roared.

$4,000 BOTTLES
SOLD IN new YORK
Biggest Thing of Kind Ever Seen in
That State, Declares Big
Wholesaler.

The fact that 5000 bottles of Tan
lac have been sold in the state of New
York since it's introduction there less
than one year ago, is big business
item that will attract unusual atteh-
ton throughout the entire East, for
nothing like it has ever happened be-
fore. 1t breaks all records.
Mr.. George B. Evans, manager of
the Gibson-Snow Company, the we'll
known wholesale druggists, with
branches in Albany, Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Syracuse, recently announced
that the preparation was now selling
in their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate of approximately $780,
900 bottles a year.
''If the present rate continues" said
Mr.. Evans, this rate alone will prob
ably require considerably over 10000
bottles year. This is tremendous
figure, but am really conservative in
making this statement"

Catch of Coo in Norway.

The catch of cod in Norway for the
season just ended is greater than in
any one OF the preceding four years.
However. the value of the catch was
about 22,0OO,O0O crowns, as compared
with a value of 100000 crowns for
the 1920 season. The total number of
fish caught in 1921 was 39,00O.O0O; the
1920 catch totaled 3S,OOO,OOO. The
selling price is considerably lower and
the high cost of equipment and oils
makes the profit less than average.
The operating expenses were ut the
same level as during the war.
