of great usefulness, or had already
achieved more reputation, and his un
timely death is a loss to the community
and |he profession, as well as a profound
shock to hjs friends,

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticale than your competitor if you can
not get a beter price for it?
Ana. —As there is no difference m the
price the public will buy only the beitei,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale will be much larger
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the oublic both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
