Advantages of
Buying Advertised Goods
Merchandise that is aJvertised
moves much faster than that which is not,
and therefore the stock is kept new and up-to-date.
There are* no shopworn, slow sellers to be disposed of in the
store that keeps the advertising columns at work selling goods.
And you can always depend upon the
quality of advertised articles. The merchant’s
reputation is back of his merchandise and he cannot jeopard
ize it by misrepresenting his goods even the least bit
Furthermore, the dealer’s newspaper an
nouncement usually offers money-saving bargains,
and every thrifty person should take full advantage of such
opportunities. Read the advertisements torlav.

INSTITUTE CANNING RATES;
RESULT OF EXPERIMENTS
Editor. Xews:
S'jiiie weeks auo Brevard Insn-
I tute egreed to xindertake to handle
a considerable part of the canmnj;
of :he conuiiunity with the r.nJer
etanding that the work was to be
done as nearly at cost as iiossible
wiihuut loss or prolit to the schoo'.
To g-t some start on the o]*eration
an experimental jirice of three
cents per (juart was suggestin’,
with the i)rovision that this would
be changed after trial if nt'cessary.
Experience shows that a change is
nect-ssary, if the work is to l>e duiio
here in as sanitary and thorough a,
iuanner as heretofore.
Vi e find that a swift worker
strings and breaks live or jiossiblv
si.v (jr.arts of fresh beans pur hour.
Two Cents per (juart is surely as
little as can be paid for tLic ot
tbe work. As approximately twa
fj'i'irts of the fresh beans go into ti
one (-uart jar, wo are comiiidled t)
rv-(Miire that hereafter the vegetti-
bies be given us already in the
j ir.--', or to make a charge of four
c r.ts for preparing them.
Wednesday, August 1, was a
tv].:.‘ni day in the canning plant.
We had a man and a boy at work
for tv.-elve hours each at a cost lor
1 iljjr of Othei’ temporary
h -ip and tho cost of fuel brought
the expen.-ie of the cooking room
alone to at least »‘.o. We linishod
on that day approximately one
hun.ireii Cans. By our process and
*vith i.ur a])paratus it is therefore
necessary to charge three cents ]ier
M'.iart liereafter for canning the
