WHERE LIVESTOCK Is CHEAP

Because livestock can be raised
much cheaper in Australia and New
Zealand than in the United States,
owing to the low cost of land and
low wages. Australia and New Zea-
land are increasing their exports Of
meats to Europe. According to a re-
port made to the Department Of
Commerce from the United States
Consul at Sydney. Australia, Ger
many, France and other European
countries are buying large quantities
or frozen beef and frozen lamb in
Australia and New Zealand.

Well, he bought more goods
And a little more space.
And he played that system
With q smile on his face.
The customers ilocked
To his two by four.
Soon he had to hustle
For a regular store.
Up on the square
Where the people pass
He gobbled up a corner
That was all plate glass.
He fixed UP the windows
With the best he had
And told them all about 1t
In a half page ad.
He Don had 'em coming
And never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down
On his ads one jit.
And he's kept things humming
In the town ever since
And everybody calls him
The Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck
But that's all bunk
He was doing business
When times were punk!
People have to purchase
And the geezer was wise
He knew the way to get 'em
Was to advertise.

THE RHYTHNIICAL HISTORY
OF ONE MERCHANT PRINCE

There was an old geezer.
And he had a lot of sense,
He started up in business
On a dollar n eighty cents.
The dollar was for stock,
And the eighty for an ad,
Which brought him three dollars
In a day, by dad!

Ankh-Amen, In This Issue.


Have you ever tried to picture for
yourself the civilization that existed
before the time of David, second
king of Israel? Have you tried to
imagine the kind Of clothes people
wore, $500 years ago, the kind OF
furniture they used.
Over in Egypt, in the valley of the
Nile, there was recently opened the
tomb of Pharoh Tut-Ankh-Amen,
the ruler of Egypt $500 years ago,
and inside this tomb there was
found vast quantities of things that
picture the civilization of the anci-
ent world.
1t is rare privilege for The
Journal to present to our readers
this week series of pictures made
from photographs taken inside this
tomb, showing the many interesting
objects which it contained. In these
pictures you will see much of the
story of that ancient civilization
which passed away more than
thousand years before the birth of
Christ, a civilization that ante-dates
the pyramids by several hundred
years.
In these pictures you will find
much that is Of intense interest, and
you will add to your own interest
in the subject by talking about them
with your friends and neighbors.
