P.)-As result of the Argonaut mine

lost their lives because OF improper
escape and fire-fighting facilities, Il
new set of laws governing the deep

The recommendations of the indus

of Q law.
The recommendations suggest the
following measures be taken by mines
Of the Argonaut character TO prevent

have water seepage) be made fire
/ proof; emergency fire doors, mechani-

telephone systems be installed, espec-
tally down secondary and exit shafts;
refuge places be provided and made
gas proof with supplies of oxygen;
fire plans and maps of the mines be
prepared and posted throughout the
mine. especially directing miners to
places of safety or exits; shift bosses
make regular inspections on the look
out for fires: and miners be instruct
ed on how to give proper alarms and
take first safety measures to aid their
comrades in case of fire. In addition
a number of more technical systems

recommended.

Why | Use Advertising as My
Buying Guide
r T, BROWN. County Clerk.

handles advertised articles sells
more goods and it isn't hard for
me to figure out that if the
dealer wants to make only a
fair profit he can sell me goods
cheaper if he sells great many
goods than if he sells a smaller
amount. Coincidently, I have
noticed that dealers who do
handle articles which are adj
vertised seem to grow and eX-
pand.
i have often wondered if it
isn't because the goods which
they see on their own shelves
remind them constantly of the
forward-looking work which is
being done by the manufacture
er of those goods, thus setting
an example for greater indus
try.
l know that if 1 want to buy
a barrel Of flour or a very large
sack of flour l can buy it cheap
er than l can buy a ten or twen-
ty-five pound sack. Ny store
keeper can do the same thing in
buying his merchandise. have
heard my husband talk often
enough on the question of small
profits and rapid turnover to
know that it isn't the dealer
who makes the long profit that
gets ahead but the one who
makes the small profit and
turns his capital over and over.
But this is not the only benefit
| get in buying from a store
keeper who sells his customers
goods which are advertised. The
goods | buy are fresher and
newer and l feel that because
many of them have been adver-
tised for years they are more
dependable.
For how could people continue
to buy them if they were not?
And how could the manufactur-
arS continue to advertise them
f they did not buy?
