Many bankers have expressed the
opinion that as soon as the grade OF
dairy COW is raised in this state,
there will be more prosperity, bet

Held At Fair Grounds
Last year the National Dairy show
was held at the state fair grounds
and 1t will be at the same place in
1922. Whether or not the show will
remain there for another year de-
pends largely upon the success OF
the venture this year and Twin city
business is making strong and de-
termiped effort to get the show over
in such a complete manner this year
as to insure a return in 1928.

to light, for example, that one New

the season for eating it's products.

fluctuate by seasons, has Kept up
continuous production by standardiz-

Another Ohio corporation which
make womens clothing has achieved
the same results. 1t makes models
according to carefully laid plans, and
by advertising has inspired retailers
with confidence in It's judgement as
to the goods and the seasonal de-
mand for them.
A Rochester mems clothing factory
fills in dull periods between seasons

In Brooklyn a shoe corporation
