SELLING EXPENSE

New England manufacturers naturally keep . keen eye focused upon selling expense. realizing that with mass production has come the problem of how to distribute the in- creased products at an expense .ufnciently low to maintain a reason able profit.
 Much has been written about sell ing expense: there have been critics and those who justify higher selling costs than formerly.
 That the cost is not always greater in proportion to the product manu- factured than was the case in those good old days one frequently hears about is indicated by . few para graphs from an article by L. C. Humason, identified with a manu- featuring concern in Eorestville. This appeared In Connecticut Industry:
 One hundred and fifteen years ago q clock maker set up little shop on the spot where OUT plant is To- cated. During the summer he made his product. and in the fall he loaded an OK cart with clocks and went south to sell them. This south- .rn trip was not a mid-winter diver sion: II was an economic necessity. Our industrious forcbears in Con- nect!cut had little money to spend or !uxuries, so the clock maker was forced to seek a market elsewhere. H!e selling expense was therefore large and an item with which to reckon"
 Tn other words. the selling cz- pcnse of the clock-maker was vastly higher per clock sold than that Of any modern clock-making factory. The same rule holds good for every other manufactured product. The first hardware makers of New Brit ain did as the clock-raker of Forestv!lle did-made trips with their products and sold them or 2 virtual pedd,ing basis. Selling ex- rense wa6 h!gh-eco--ous compa-- et with present stacec-ds-but .sere was TO othe. way to se!! the hardware,

This Is a Good One.

(By Helene Barker)
 Not long ago an English writer wrote a book. Git is habit with them). The critics and the pub fishers said it was N. G. The author thought so well of his child that he had it published at his own expense. but it didn't set England on fire. It certainly did fatten the authors bank-roll. An American over in England gets hold of the book and decides it might go on this side of the Aviation Graveyard. Transplanted to our land it becomes one Of the best sellers.
 Early in the twentieth century someone started show. They called it "Abie's Irish Rose" The critics banned it called it "tripe." ''mush," 'piffle," rotten" It runs so long that the actors who started the thing live long enough to see their great-grandchildre playing the leading roles.
 So if the editor sends this back to me, I will know that 1t is good!

Here Sunday

In honor of Lincoln's birthday,
the Capitol theater Sunday will
present Judge Charles E. Bull, who
has impersonated Lincoln for the
movies and upon the lecture plat
form.
Doubling for Abraham Lincoln is
an easy job for Judge Charles Z.
Bull of Reno. All that is necessary
is to look natural.
For he requires no makeup aud
the only aid he uses to complete
his remarkable resemblance TO the
martyrad President is the gentle
mans styles Of the period of the
Sixties.
Judge Bulls startling resemblance
to Lincoln has been matter of COM
ment among his frined5 for many
years. He says that since the time
he was long gangling boy of about
IL or IS years people have told him
that he was as homely as Abe
Lincoln
He was born in log cabin on
Feb. Il, Lincolns natal month, all
but TIE year was 1888 and tie birth
place Bull Creek, central Texas.
As a lad he experienced all the
hardships common to a frontier
homestead. Trips to the old grist
mill with sack of corn on cd Indian
pony, difficulties in procuring books,
working as a farm hand here and
there at times when he could be
spared from the little farm at
home, splitting rails and chopping
cord wood-such significant expert
ences are Bulls as we'll IS Lincoln's.
He finished the country school
and later worked his way through
college, studying late at night.
The judge is Lincoln to the life.
Raw-boned and muscular. he is six
feet four inches tall. Weight about
100 pounds.
