THE FINEST FLOUR
POSSIBLE TO MILL
Genuine Quality in lie Grande
Flour--.Mill a Model of
Cleanliness

For many years, the Fuller Holway Com
pany had been searching for a flour that
would be of the very best quality obtainable
for fancy cooking. During the long time it
has been in business, it has sold and distri-
buted practically every one of the brands Of
high-grade soft winter wheat patent flours,
but it had never been able to establish a
satisfactory connection.
The people of Maine and New Hampshire
demand and want the very fanciest grade of
soft winter wheat -four that can be milled
and it has been a very great source of pleas
ure to this concern to be able to act as sole
agents for the famous LIE Grande Flour in
the states of Maine and New Hampshire.
LIE Grande Flour has been on the marked
in Maine now for over five years and its
reputation has increased so tremendously
that it is today being demanded by the most
discriminating housewives. 1t is said that
every product of real value is due first OF all
to an idea fostered and persisted in by one
man. The same thing is true of the factory
that makes the product; in other words, the
factory itself comes to believe in the original
idea of the man and works to the END that
his wishes may always be fulfilled.
In 1876, the mill that today manufactures
lie Grande Flour sent some of its product to
the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia
where it received the Gold Medal and was
proclaimed the finest soft wheat flour in
America. Since that time this mill has con-
sistently upheld the reputation of the found
or. The flour mill itself was rebuilt in 1912
and thoroughly equipped with new, modern
milling machinery. In October, 1922, how
ever, the entire plant was destroyed by fire
and Just eleven months afterwards new
mill had risen to take its place. This mill
is conceded to be the masterpiece among
-four mills in Ohio. It is situated three
quarters of a mile from the small country
Village of Loudonville, Ohio, where the air
is pure and free from all smoke and dust
and is the most ideal location for genuine
cleanliness.
You have only to stroll through the mill
with its spotless white walls and entire alb
sence from all dust and dirt to feel as If you
were in an immaculate kitchen. The bright
sunshine comes streaming in through the
large windows and reflects its rays on the
millers moving about donned in white uni
forms.
After you have arrived on the seventh
floor and can look out and see beneath you
the beautiful lawns and shrubbery which
surround the mill, you cannot but feel that
LIE Grande Flour is entirely worthy OF such
splendid home for food.
Visitors are always welcome at the new
home of lie Grande Flour and tourists who
by any chance are passing through on their
way to Cleveland or Chicago would surely be
well repaid in making call at this beautiful
plant.

ices, -the-minute quotations on the
grain market from Chicago and from New
York on the sugar market are always at
hand Sales as nigh as from 40 to so car
loads of sugar, flour and grain have been
made within few hours. These cars go to
many points in Maine, several in New Hamp-
shire and shipments are often made for GUS
toners into New York and Pennsylvania.
Carloads of grain, feed flour, sugar, milk,
dried peas, beans, molasses. rice, canned
fruits and canned vegetables and many other
products are quickly and efficiently handled
through the warehouse without entirely re-
moving them from the cars. Such goods
as are needed for local distribution are taken
out; the remainder are left in the cars,
properly marked and hauled away by the
railroad for other points. The cost OF secur-
ing business by means such as the telegraph,
quotation card and telephone is almost negll-
gible as compared to the cost of maintaining
a large selling organization which would
otherwise be necessary for this volume OF
business.
With it's thoroughly modern way of doing
business, it's highly efficient warehousing
equipment, it's long years Of honorable bust

New Hampshire
1t can Justly be said that this house owes
its present standing in large measure to It's
espousal and persistent emphasis of two OF
our modern economic doctrines. First, the
theory of volume business, which means
small profits and increased turnover, result
ing in large volume; as the volume increases,
the overhead decreases, and both the mef-
chant and the public are benefited. Second
", the discount for cash. This concern has
strongly urged its customers always to pay
cash and to educate the public to do likewise.
This has increased it's turnover many times,
and by keeping it's money liquid 1t is enabled
to purchase at more advantageous prices and
in larger quantities.
Only a few years ago the exact reverse OF
these economic principles was the common
method of doing business in our State and In
other states. 1t is a well-known fact that
the great chain store systems such as the
Atlantic and Pacific are absolutely founded
on these principles.
The Fuller-Howay Company takes great
pride in the fact that today over 80 per cent
of it's customers discount their bills.
The business Of the FullerHolway Com
pany for the year 1928 was nearly two
millions of dollars. This total was exceeded
only once and that was during postwar
wear of inflated values. In point of volume,
this house easily ranks third in Maine, but
it is important to know that its personnel
and it's sales force is from so to 80 per cent
smaller than others in it's class, even lnclud-
ING many of those doing very much smaller
volume of business.

It may be asked how, then, is this volume
of business obtained. 1t comes primarily, Of
course through the ability of this concern
to distribute many lines of goods more
cheaply than other houses 1t can load or
unload on it's private tracks at one time
three freight cars and three other cars can
be placed on the parallel track of the Maine
Central railroad. In this connection it
should be noted that only three other con-
Germs handling groceries in Maine have track
privilege, and even in these cases the prlvi-
lege is limited This eliminates trench
dous cost in trucking to and from the rail-
road freight station which would involve
additional capital invested in trucks and
equipment, the employment of more men,
additional breakage and leakage and great
deal of lost time and motion.
The warehouse and elevator-the latter
contains storage bins for corn, oats and
wheat and also milling machinery-are par
ticularly adapted to efficient operation. In
the warehouse there are two large express
freight elevators which facilitate the move
ment of goods from one floor to the other.
A fleet of four trucks and three salesmens
cars are maintained and goods are delivered

miles. Central Maine only is covered by

C[AMOR FOR NEW
TUBERCUL0S|SCURE
Many Send Letters to Chi
cago Physician Bringing
Good Word From Denmark.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.

BY Gable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, December 2s.-Dr. Glenn
mensen. who is in London en- route to
his home in Chicago after investigat-
ing the new Danish cure for tubercu-
losis, reafflrmed his belief that gold
oxide sulphite will kill tuberculosis
germs.
Il already have received pitiful let
tiers from points as far away as Cali
fornia pleading that / use the new
chemical to cure consumption" he
said, land while l am deeply touched
by them and would like to extend
their writers a helping hand. IL Is be-
yond the power of any one to use this
new formula at present without taxi
ing grave risks. My Investigations in
Copenhagen have convinced me that
there is a real basis for the hope
that this gold salt will be cure for
the disease 1t has been proved be-
yond a doubt that when It is properly
injected 1t will kill tuberculosis
germs, and Will act not as a poison,
but as a medicine that can be assimi-
lated by the animal tissue.
There remains the grave problem
of determining a method OF interven-
Gus injections which will not cause
what is known as tuberculosis shock,
which Is due to the killing of millions
OF germs the blood is unable to carry
off. We have made arrangements for
the manufacture of gold salts which
will be distributed over the United
States to doctors who are qualified to
study their effects without taking
undue chances.
I'VE have such a wide scope at
home that we will be able to carry
on the research work much further
than any other country in the world.
and undoubtedly within a short time
we will be able to learn the best
methods OF adapting the gold sui
phate to the various stages of con-
sumption.
Doctors from every part OF the
world are now fiocking TO Copenhagen
TO study the gold cure. Seven already
have arrived from Japan"
DR.. Clemmensen expects to spend
several days in Washington. turning
over to the National Laboratory
samples of the chemical. He will
then go to Chicago to make a report
to the Board OF Health and the
Chicago Medical Society.

ACTION BY ITALY
IN ALBANIA SEEN
Intervention May Take Form
of Protectorate, Once
O. KID by Council.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.

By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
ROME, December 29.-Italy may in
tervene in Albania to protect her
position on the Adriatic, as a result
of Ahmed Bey Zogu's revolution.
This possibility is considered in an
editorial in the "Popolo d'Italia," a
government organ. for which Premier
Mussolini is said some times to write
or dictate the leading articles.
Such intervention might imply that
a general protectorate over Albania
according to a scheme once approved
by the council OF ambassadors, would
be undertaken to counterbalance the
Jugoslavian influence over the new
government, which probably owes it's
existence to complacence of Jugo-
slavia.
Or such intervention might seek to
re-establish in substance the de-
funct London agreement. fixing the
Italian sphere of influence to central
Albania, by agreement with Belgrade.
Refugees Warned.
The latter hypothesis is not i'm
probable. 1t is recalled that the
foreign minister of Jugoslavia
Ninchich. was visiting Rome and
Paris while Ahmed Zogu's attack was
being prepared and contaminated and
Italy had not done anything to en-
barrass Zogu's movements. The
Italian government has warned Pre-
mier Fannoli and the 400 Albanian
refugees, including the ministers
army officers and minor officials of
the late government who yesterday
landed in Brindisis, that they must
not engage in political activities or
even give interviews.
The Popolo D'Italia, after observ-
ing that Italy would not permit
events in Albania to place Italy in a
position of inferiority or peril in the
region of the Adriatic, suggests the
possibility that our Intervention may
become necessary to protect the
liberty and independence OF Albania
and our dignity and influence" 1t Is
certain that Italy intends to take an
active part in the present realign-
ment in the Balkans in a situation in
which France, also, is showing a keen
interest.
