smartly dressed, smooth talking gentleman has
dropped in to discuss few matters with John Doe,
the grocer. It develops that the gentleman is also
interested in having Grocer Doe buy very unique
and highly effective advertising campaign.
"Ths advertising is something different" he tells
the grocer. "You can't get it anywhere else. Your
newspaper can't provide it. This will be something
exclusive with you. Just sign here"
But before signing here, there, anywhere else,
it might be smart to stop and ask yourself how any
thing that good escaped the men who spend millions
of dollars yearly for advertising.
Men who spend millions for advertising also spend
thousands to their advertising and be that
they getting their moneys worth. No promising
proposition or scheme is blindly turned down. They
proportionate less of their advertising money
than most small advertisers because they seek results
not something different.

Several pages of the Congressional Record show

without single dollar of land from the mil
lions and millions of loot divided at the treaty Of
Versailles.
According to the best statistics obtainable the
World cost 100000 lives and $400, 900
in property. With that amount could have built a
$4,000 home and furnished this house with 81 900 worth
of furniture, and placed five acres Of land worth
500 and given all those to each and every
family in the United States, Canada Australia Eng
land, Wales Ireland, Scotland, France Belgium, Ger
many and Russia. After doing this there would have
been enough money left to give each city Of 10000
inhabitants and in all the countries named q
$4,000 library and $100000OO university. And then
out of the balance could still have sufficient money
to set aside at five per cent interest which would
pay for all time to come $1,000 yearly salary each
for army Of 125 900 teachers and in addition this
pay the same salary to each Of army of $4,000
nurses And after having done all this we could st

up all France and Belgium and everything of value
that France and Belgium possess-that is, every
French and Belgium farm, home factory, church, rail-
road street carin fact everything Of value in those
