A new book on the romantic. ey-
citing and dangerous occupation of
: whale fishing is reminder that New
England from It's earliest years has
led in the chase of the whale.
In 1858 Secretary Randolph wrote
/ home TO England: New Plimouth
Colony have great profit by whale
killing. I believe it will be one of
our best returns. now beaver and
peltry fayle u.s.
Between 1850 and 1910 the prac-
tice of taking only drift whales was
superseded by the taking of whales
by harpoons from small. open boats.
At first the profit was derived from
whale oil and spermaceti. but later
the whalebone from the upper laws
of whales was used for lady's STAYS
and hoop-skirts.
Nantucket was soon the foremost
whaling station as the whales came
right into the harbor Just before
the Revolution broke out the annual
production was estimated at not less
than 5000 barrels of sperm oil.
$500 barrels of whale oil and $4,000
pounds of bone.
The Revolutionary war put a stop
to it all and the industry was slow
in reviving.
Profits were always uncertain.
Sometimes large sums were made by
voyages and at other times every
thing was dead loss. Whaling ap-
peared to be dying cut completely
when harpoon gun invented in 1SGO
came into use.
Now, unless international action is
taken. there is danger that the whale
may become extinct.

NOW--aS to economy.

ECONOMY is not only matter of saving.
~ 1t consists also of S pending money to best
advantage. You can 0 ften add materially to
the effectiveness of your purchases by reading
the advertisements in this paper. -
Advertising Identifies goods of unquestioned
value. When store or manufacturer puts
his name on a product and tells you about it,
you may rest assured that it is worth while. It
does not pay to advertise merchandise that is
not sound. The comebacks are too COSTLY.
Make practice of reading advertisements.
Read them as news from the business world,
published for your benefit
Sometimes, they keep you from making an
unwise purchase by pointing out just why one
article suits your needs better than another.
A step toward real eco nOmy!
Often, they help you live better and dress
better and make more of your income in every
way. Also, real economy.
And you will find that they frequently save
you money ..
Economy, certainly!
