OUR ADVERTISERS

And you dream, too. You dream of the busy store or factory-of the time when there is no "red ink" on the ledger. You dream of the time when the fruits of sue cess are yours-of pleasant trips, golf courses, and the easy, care free things of life.
 And those dreams will be re- alized to just the extent that you deserve. Any exception to this but proves the rule. You, too, must give to receive. You, too, must realize that cooperation places an obligation upon both parties.
 We are "hand-picking" our ad- vertisers irf Labor News. We don't know of an advertiser in this journal that does not deserve that these dreams of his come true, who does not deserve the com p1ete cooperation of our readers and we frankly tell our readers so. But the purpose of these little "Additorials' is to make men think. We hope that we are thinking with each reader and ad- vertiser-t1inking logically and constructively for the benefit of all.
