THE difference in breakfast oats | is in their flavor. The price mostly is the same.
 Millions demand the Quaker brand because of its toasty, wonderful flavor. For flavor is the important point in food.
 Some 50 years were spent perfect ing that famous Quaker flavor. Once you taste it, you are spoiled for or dlnary oats.
 Quaker milling, too. retains much of the bulk" of oats. And that makes laxatives less often needed Protein, carbohydrates and vitamines and bulk" are thus combined to make Quaker Oats an excellently balanced ration.

First English Coach in 1866.

1t was the custom of the London
ers, up to 1865, to take a boat on the
Thames in order to get from one part
of the city to another Most of the
streets were only eight feet wide and
even smaller. as foot traffic and pack
horses were the only modes of trans
pOrtation, says the Market for EX-
change.
In 1855 Walter Ripon made a coach
for the Earl of Rutland-the first
coach ever made in England. The
next year he made one for Queen
Mary: and in 1864 Queen Elizabeth in
dulged-hiring a fat little Dutchman
as coachman. When in 1913 the num-
her Of coaches had SO increased that
they seriously endangered the bust
ness of the Watermen on the Thames,
il was suggested to Parliament that
the number be limited to 1870: and
when in 1862 there were 2.490 hack
ney carriages in London plying for
hire. the boatmen on the Thames be-
came almost frantic in their efforts to
get Parliament to suppress or limit
the number of coaches.
That unique diarist, Pepys, was de-
lighted when he could buy a second
hand coach, and it was said he was
like q child with a new toy as he sat
at 4 coaChhuilder'S in Long Acre and
watched it being painted from o'clock
III the afternoon until at night. But
one day when his coach knocked two
pieces OF meat off a butchers stall and
he had to pay shilling to compen-
safe for the loss of the meat his
thrifty soul was most perturbed. He
forsook his coach and thereafter went
more often by water.

STANDARD OIL ISSUES.
EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By GEORGE 7. HUGHES.
Income Statements.

Income statements vary widely in
completeness. Some of them give a
wealth of detail: others summarize
results only. Some merchandising
companies, for instance, give the
amount of sales and then the cost of
goods sold. the difference between the
two being the gross profit, from which
amount is subtraCted the expense of
making the sales, including executive
and administrative items, and when
this amount is taken out the remain
der is net profit. Other corporations
content themselves with giving the
net profit without botherirg to say
how it was arrived at. Obviously the
first named method is the more val
liable to the investor.
There is no set rule among indus
trial companies as to the torn in
which they shall make public their
income accounts. On the other hand,
the accounting statements of the rail
roads are precisely defined by the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
full information is available More
or less this is true OF the public util-
ities. although the fact that they are
under State as distinguished from
Federal regulation makes for differ
ences in practice.
Now while it is desirable that the
data cover all pertinent matters, it
is not the fullnesS OF the statement
that is of concern in the first in
stance as it is the opportunity for
comparison with results of the past
computed on the same basis. What
the investor wants to know is whether
the corporation in which he is inter-
ested is going backward or forward.
Much may be learned from high
" condensed income account if 1t can
be placed alongside the similar t1g-
ures for preceding periods. If all that
is given, for example, is gross reFe-
nue.. it can at least be determined
whether the volume of business is in
creasing or decrea sing. This total
alone is often highly illuminating.
Expenses may be pared down and
loss in gross income be turned into
a gain in net profit. but there is
limit to which this process may be
carried.
In the next article in this series
the points to be learned from study
of the simplest forms of income state
will be indicated.

Predicting The largest cotton crop

Consumption Gain Shown.

The increased consumption is clearly
shown in the automobile tire situation.
According to production so far and
present output, the tire manufacture
ers will make over 57,000,000 castings
this year, or 100000 more than ever
before. And every. tire has a cotton
fabric base. This has spelled high
profits for the tire makers, for the eX-
panSion in business came on top of
reduced costs of cotton fabric and
lower prices for rubber. In the last
three months the aggregate output OF
the Akron factories alone approx
mated 10000 tires daily.
Original equipment demand has
dropped off slightly with the slacken-
ing of automobile outturn, and manu-
facturers of tires were forced to cut
prices on this type of business about
5 pee cent. There have been rumors
of a. general cut, which will affect re-
placement business also, but any such
move is meeting with stiff resistance
on the part of the makers. Replace
ment trade is likely to continue active,
since the trade shortly expects the
announcement of the 1927 policy for
Spring dating business.
Not all the tire fabric manufacture
erS have profited Some have found
competition too much for them. The
Salmon Falls Manufacturing Co. voted
to close Ats mills at Ro'lihsford, N. H.,
last week and dispose Of the property,
which has been run fo- B3 years, he
