WHY ADVERTISING PAYS. , You hear a page cost £6OO. That single page potentially exposes its attention to hundreds of thousands of readers, perhaps at a cost of less than one penny per copy. Of course, it is impossible to tell how many readers were, influenced b.\ the advertisement, even though the most alluring send-the-coupon-tor-free sample is attached. But there is a way for the advertiser to find if hjs advertisements pay—in the payment of dividends despite world cataclysms and depression. Advertising, when effectively done, is one of the most efficient and economical of all the tools of modern business. It quite often does more work, in less time, per pound spent than any other form of commercial effort. Lt not only calls attention to a product and helps to inform the reader of new methods which aid to more comfortable living; it not only thus makes possible lower costs to both producer and consumer, but it creates continuity of production, thus preventing periodio lay-offs of workers—and it protects the consumer against fraud!

“The mystery of mysteries.”—Scott. It certainly is a mystery how we catch colds in summer. But we do, and such colds are, if anything, more annoying and distressing than winter ones. Be wise and keep that good old specific—Baxter’s Lung Preserver —by you right through the summer months. You’ll need it. “Baxter’s” quickly soothes and relieves the worst cough or cold. Tones up the system, too, against further attacks. Get a bottle from your chemist or storekeeper. Generoussized bottle, 2/6; large, ecomonical size, 4/6; bachelor’s size, 1/6.

Sharland’s Egg Preservative ensures a cheap ,all-year-round egg supply. Easy, clean, effective. All grocers.— (Advt.)
