XX1E WOULDN'T have believed-f
w anybody had told us about it in
advance-that new loaf of bread could
make such success.
Weithought the housewives would like
it. We knew they would appreciate at
once how much richer it was in flavor,
how much more delicate in texture. And
efelt pretty sure that they would notice
how much longer it kept fresh and how
much more satisfying itwasto theappetite.
But we weren't prepared for the posi-
lively sensational demand for it-even
from the very first month.
What makes THIS nesO loot 50 different" you

and plenty of it.
A richer allowance of shortening than is

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Workingmen's Investments.

BY and large the efficient American
workingman receives larger pur-
chasing power than the toiier in other
countries. This fact explains the un-
rivaled consumptive power OF the do
nestle market, which eabsorbs more
miscella neous goods per capita than
any other country in the world.
The prudent worker will use favor
able economic circumstances not only
az means of increasing his pur-
chases, but also of augmenting his
savings.
The worker should allocate a por'
ton of the contents of the weekly
pay envelope to the thrift account. He
should take out his savings first. and
spend the rest, rather than save only
what Is left over, which is likely to
be nothing. The workingmans thrift
fund represents part of the fruits of
past labor saved UP for future en-
tovment-or use.
The thrift fund is the safety valve
which would save him and his family
from being dispossessed of their home
in case of periods of prolonged un-
employment, caused either by general
depression or by illness or other per-
sonai misfortune. 1t Is the means
which would assure competent medi-
cal attention for the children in case
of Illness. 1t is, in short, the small
stake of the ordinary individual In the
far flung wealth of the United States.
1t is a fund to be nurtured carefully
at the outset and protected for the
legitimate uses of the workingman and
his family.
In selecting particular bricks to put
into his investment structure. the

The death rate of new ventures Is
exceedingly high. High yields and
extravagant promises are signposts
indicating the road to danger. Any
securities yielding more than the cur

eminent bonds entail degrees of addi-
tional risk. AS a practical matter,
some Of the better grade non Govern

are entirely suitable for individuals In
quest OF genuine security.
Since the war, with the rise Of the
small investor. it has become rela-
lively simple for the working man to
get sound advice as to what securities
he should buy. Some enlightened cor.
porations, such as the Western Elec-
trio Co, have employed officials to
advise employees expertly about their
personal financial problems. A more
difficult problem lis that of control

tedencies and slovenly habits in his

substantial part of the earlier losses.

A striking illustration of the rapidity
of the decline was furnished by Read

fast that IL was selling at 80 on the
