Sales o f the Postum Co., now the General
Foods Corp., have grown from $18,0uu,000
in 1922 to $102,000,000 in 1928; its net in­
come from $2,500,000 to nearly $15,000,000,
and its surplus from $1,400,000 to $9,200,­
000. Please pass the mustard. With so
many of the giants now looking toward
automatic machines as possible sales out­
lets, we wonder what will happen when
this big one looks that way, too.
This Is Different!
We are just entering the market with
a recording instrument that will re­
cord any sound electrically on a rec­
ord that is permanent, plays on any
phonograph. There is no waiting for
record; it can be mailed; any one can
operate instrument; the profit is 300
per cent and everybody is interested
in hearing themselves in these days
of Talking Moves and Radio.
: : It is not coin operated.
Be; the first in your city to have this.

Helps Small Dealers
Enactment of the Capper-Kelly bill to
protect trademarks, is recommended by the
House commerce committee.
The bill
prohibits selling trademark products at less
than the manufacturer’s price. The com­
mittee expects it to aid the small dealer to
meet chain competition on more even
terms . . . Just where wholesome competi­
tion ends and destructive competition be­
gins is hard to define. But the destructive
kind hurts both business and the consumer.
This may help some in such matters as the
price war on cigarettes, which has been
so detrimental to the sales of cigarettes by
machine.
