^Personal Knowledgi
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of -4 (
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component ^
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made^
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known
under the name of—Syrup of Figs — and has attained to world
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
name of — Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company -— California Fig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package.
w hether you call for — Syrup of Figs
cr by the full name — Syrup of
Figs and EJixir of Senna.

“Few persons realize” Mr. Rossi ter

use of the telephone has been r.tpi l-

cities having more than one million ' printing by the trolley companies of
inhabitants—New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia—the total number o.
books required in 1005 was 1.400.000,
and if their paper requirements were
reduced to the standard size of 24 by
38 inches they contained nearly 50,
000.000 sheets. The contribution of
these cities, however, to the printing
industry was, of course, but a portion
of the entire requirement. In terms
of 24 by 3S sheets, all the telephone
books issued in the United States
in 1905 contained approximately 132.
000,000 sheets cf paper.*'
Mr. Rossiter might have added that
these sheets placed end to end would"
reach twice from the earth to the
moon and still leave enough to bind
into a good sized library.
Getting out all these reference
books certainly is a big undertaking
as compared with the one which at
tended the issuance of the first tele-
directory in the world. This
