PARSONS HARTFORD

Thompson Buchanan's smart new comedy, Sinner" with Allan Dine hart, Claiborne Foster and their ex- cellent supporting company, will close their engagement at Parsons theater today.
 A play different from any other that has ever been presented will he exhibited by Albert Lewis and sam H. Harris, when they present "1'he Spider" by Fulton Oursler and Lowell Brentano at Parsons theater for three days only. with a matinee on Saturday, beginning tomorrow.
 "The Spider" is the novelty show which is certain to create sensa- ton in theatrical circles. It has the angle of a play within play, and yet breaks away from the ordinary stereotyped technique of the regula- ton play. It cannot be billed as a mystery. comedy. melodrama, trag- edy or musical, for it has all these clements equally divided. "The Spider" Is the entirely different play which will surprise and please the most critical theatergoers.

 Have you watched the Strand and Capitol advertisements In this paper? Free tickets are given daily by both theaters to the person whose name appears in the ads. The names are picked at random from the city directory and all the person has to do is to identify himself at the box office of the theater and tickets will be given free admission himself and guest. The homogeneous of both these theaters have found that the idea Is very popular with New Brit ainites as to date practically every one whose name has appeared has presented themselves at the box of- flee for tickets. Just watch the Strand and Capitol ads every day, who knows, but what your name will be the one luckily picked for these tickets.

The results of this survey, Director
Axel II. OXholm has stated, will be
summarized in map form, so that the

from sawdust, bark and scraps.
The committee stresses the savings
that may be effected Immediately and
without any further investment in

ply by using lumber I'm short lengths
wherever 1t Is possible in erecting
houses, garages and other small build
ings. That the fault for the present
waste Of these short lengths does not

United States and Canada are the
only nations in the world where short

Ing the period OF readjustment we

the new arrangement. We are now
In position to function in accordance
with the new program.
I'm spite Of adverse temporary ef-
fects OF the period of reimbursement,
all OF our units showed increases in
1926. However, the rate OF growth
was not as rapid as I'm 1925. as a re-
suit OF the complete reorganization OF
our sales force, which Of necessity
proved temporarily disturbing
Foodstufrs are a necessity and ap-
parently the demand for low priced

ditions OF prosperity or depression.
Earnings Not Affected.
THE earnings Of our company are
not affected by the business cycle. &"
Mr.. Chester told me. From a graph
showing our sales for the last 20
or 20 years, you could not pick out
periods Of general depression or pros
perity. The curve Of sales has been
steadily upward, in accordance with
the growth in population. Our prod

ton, we shall have certain advantages
from a central control of advertising.
The policy for all four units will be
directed with more experiences than
any unit could have alone. The main
savings for the mergers that we have
effected have been these economies in
advertising and distribution. Savings
In manufacturing costs are not so
impressive, but we have been bringing

lines for the purpose of eliminating

petitive lines for the purpose of re-
ducing sales costs and wastes.
I'm our business the chief specula-
ton or risk is not concerning the ex-
tent of consumer demand for our
products. but rather in respect to the
cost of raw materials which are bought
in the open market subject to current
fluctuations
Mr.. Chester said that there are
100000 users of Postum Cereal and
that the selling of that product in
volved changing the habits of a large
section of the population.
| asked Mr.. Chester whether he saw
any evidence Of significant changes in
tastes of consumers. He replied that
his company had given considerable
thought to that question and was
studying the matter all the time. In
his opinion, however, consumer taste
fluctuates slowly and such products
as Postum Cereal, Grape Nuts and
tapioca continue to hold public favor
without abatement.
