sometimes prove
helpful. But you will be happier and more prosperous, if you will send
for a catalog and get just what you need, and at cost. You will thereby
avoid the expensiveness and uncertainty of doing business through a
nicely dressed, but irresponsible stranger.

The upright exert a blessed influence long after their departure from
the earth. They are remembered in the home, the social circle and the

Education. Everything from a pin to an engine has its cost and someone
must pay the price.

In education the material is human and the product is a new and living
