pink rosea suspended directly above

Simple problem! But mark this well—
It is not one whit simpler than the

which represents
The Monthly Expenditure
of Georgian Readers
To put the figure very low, each
Georgian family spends on the aver
age $100 a month for the necessities
of life.
More than 55,000 of these families
read The Georgian every week day.
It’s apparent that The Georgian in
fluences the monthly expenditure of
more than $5,500,000 for necessities
alone.
