In striving TO give the public some

pany contracted some time ago with

of pictures which are being used on
the covers of the boxes in which prod
ucts Of the "Snow White Factory
are shipped. These painting are from
scenes in Mexico and. besides being
attractive, are suggestive of life in
Mexico.
The designs and paintings on these
boxes improves their appearance, Mr..
Grigg says, and breaks the monotony
Of the conventional designs on the
cover of candy box.
A description of the scene on the
cover of the box is printed oil a piece
of tissue paper and placed inside of
the box. Along with it, is another
small piece Of tissue paper on which
is short description of some of San
Antonio's historic spots. which adver-
tises San Antonio as well as the Ma
rucheau-Grigg Company's candies.
According TO Mr.. Grigg. his fac
tory does not manufacture all the
good candy but what it does manu-
facture is good. And in doing this,
he says. the factory will not manu-
facture cheap candy. which fact has
already won good reputation for its
more than 40 different kinds of prod
nets.

The amount of effort expended to
make a modern motion picture of the
spectacular sort is amazing. More
than a year was spent in preparing

and three months was used in the
actual taking of the picture, and close
TO a million dollars expended. In one
day the players in one scene alone
consumed $4,000 sandwiches and 5000
bottles of milk. The cathedral square
set used 100000 feet of lumber, 20
kegs of wire nails and three carloads
of plaster, before Herbert Brennon
was ready to film it.
