electros are to be used in rotation they should 
be numbered and printed instructions for the

Plagiarism is rampant. They recognize 
Americans as the best advertisers in the world 
and not being familiar with English appro 
priate and use our illustrations irrespective of 
the fact that they may have absolutely no bear

the sketch and in no place does a cigar ap 
pear or is any reference made to one. Who 
ever selected this picture did not even have the 
good judgment to modify the same to the ex

where snow is unknown or eliminating the 
raised spoons piled high with the cereal and 
held in the hands of the travelers.
