Entered at the Post Office at :

The Public Forgets.
To the business man who'
' rias the public does not need
to be constantly reminded of
who he is and what he has to sell
the often told story of Pyle's ।
Pearline will bear repeating.
In 1904 I’earline, a cleansing
material, was used by a iarg'
percentage of the housewives of
the country, the company spent
$300,000 in advertising that year.
Later the advertising was cur
tailed, and about 190/ it was dis
continued altogether, as tie
company thought the product
was so well known that it did not
require further advertising.
Sales fell off rapidly, but the
owners persisted in their non
advertising policy until 1915,
when the whole concern, includ
ing, good will, was sold for $12,•
odo. I’< ai line was dead.
Many other products whose
names were household words a
f*w years ago are not beard o'
t iday bectuse they failed t<
keep up their advort i <ir e and
ons quently the public forgot
them.
Business men must rem' mberi
tnat new generations are coming
* along all the time, and these new
buyers must be personally sold
on a product or a store, as their I
I withers and mothers were sold
I before them. The only time it is
safe to -top advertising is when
one is ready to go out of busi
ness.
Dreams Coming True.
When II obert Hoover became!
secretary of commerce in 1921]
lie doubtless dreamed of a great
department of the government!
devoted to the interests of our!
commercial life, and possibly en
visioned a splendid building to'
house its many activities. If so,
his dreams are coming true.
Using the same trowel and
gavel with which President
Washington set the cornerstone
of the national capitol in 1793.
President Hoover recently laid
the cornerstone of the new $17,-
000,000 commerce building on
Pennsylvania avenue, which is
to be the largest office structure
'of its kind in the world. It will
be 1,050 feet long 325 feet wide
I and seven stories above ground.
There will be more than a million
squareT^Vpffloor space and it
will 7,000 workers.
To haul the stone for the build
ing would require a train of 1,280
I cars, according to President A.
L. Dickinson of the Indiana
Limestone company, which holds
I this greatest stone contract in
history. There also will be re
quired 20,000 tins of structural
steel, and 160,000 square feet ot
glass for the windows. Under!
the contract the massive struc
ture must be completed in 1,100;
calendar days, and the first ma
tnrial is now being prepared for
i he j >b.
This great building is one of
several author/.ed by the act of
l'J26, involving a total expendi
j ture of some fifty million dollars.
When this program is completed
| Washington will be the most
magnificent capitol in the rw d,|
and a source of inspirit!'n and 1
i pride lor every merkan.

Permanent Rag Paper Being
Used to Write Story
of Antarctica
COUNTLESS expeditions in the
interest of both science and con
quest have penetrated uncharted cor
ners of the globe and have emerged
with tales of heroism and hardship.
Few have ever presented the world
with lasting records of their achieve
ments written by campfire light to
endure for generations to conic.
Now for the first time in the his
tory of Arctic or Antarctic explora
tion this is being done. Down on the
edge of the great ice barrier that
forms the outer rim of Antarctica’s
, polar field, Commander Byrd and his
valiant band arc daily recording sci
entific data that wul paint graphical
ly a word picture of their discov
eries.
The descent of six months’ night
has already afforded opportunity for
observations that will be of ines
timable value to science. Every
memorandum, every record is being
typed with meticulous care on the
highest grade of paper available to
day, a grade that will keep alive for
posterity the first-hand chronicle of
their exploits.
Consults Paper Experts
At the outset Commander Byrd re
• solved not to waste hours in trans-
cribing valuable records that in a
few years would deteriorate beyond
‘ recognition. The foremost experts
in the country were consulted and

dent of the American Writing Paper
Company, 40,000 sheets of a high
grade, standard weight bond, and
40,000 sheets of a lighter ’grade of
bond paper for carbon copies, were
stored on board the supply ship. All
. of this paper is lull rag content, hav
ing unusually high resistance to de
terioration.
This forethought on the part of
■ the expedition's skipper assures, ac
. cording to experts, a permanent rec

; that will be a scientific treasure trove
; for many years.
Commander Byrd’s log and even
■ important radio messages arc being
I preserved in original form on perma
nent paper of rag fibre. Unlike wood
pulp paper, which reacts to changing
temperatures, deteriorates and finally
- oxidizes into powder, the rag fibre
- endures for generations. Some idea
a of this can be obtained by comparing
