liow much is an hour -worth,
lax your "business ?
HOW much would it cost you in actual cash to have 3
or 4 of your clerks waste a couple of hours each week ?
That's tho time wasted in many firms every time they .
make up their payroll time that could be saved by an
International Payroll Machine.
This machine lists and adds the payroll and tells how
many twenties, tens, fives, etc., right down to the number
of pennies' required to pay correctly.
It counts the money into envelopes, keeping a record of
the amount put into each envelope.
Tt checks the payroll at every point and balances the
cash automatically.
Firms now saving money-by
means of the International Pay
roll Machine include Wash
burn Crosby Co., Campbell
Soup Co., Remington Arms
Co., Baldwin Locomotivt
Works and hundreds of others.
If you want to know what
these firms think of the Interna
tional Payroll Machine, write

The
Lights
that
nobody
kicked
about
"I SWEAR. Joe.
1 I don't know
what to do. Thii make the fourth net
of lighting futures Ihnt I've had In (hit
drafting room inside of a jm, and
each time 1 make a change at Irani 20
of 'yon fellows come and tell me that
you don't liko them and rnu't work
without better light. I've had direct
units and indirect units hut there'tno
pteaiing all of you nil of Ujb time."
I had been in charge of this large
drafting room for three years, nnd in
that time I had never rome nny nearer
to getting a light tliot suited everyone
than tbo preceding convention indi
cates. I was just, about to give up in
disgust, when ono day I wns elected
to go shopping with my wife, and in
one of the stores we visited, I was par
ticularly Impressed with the illumina
tion. Of course, I had lighting on
my mind, so whilo my wife did the
buying, I did some incittlgHting. I
found that it was neither direct nor
indirect but a combination of both.
It looked bo good that I determined
to try it out without telling a soul.
Saturday afternoon, aflrr everyooo
had gone, tho electrician rnme armed
with a number of large carious and a
few tools. It hardly seemed more
than tho well-known twinkling of an
eye before the new lights were in place.
When it carno time to turn on the
lights .Monday, I casually went over
to tho switch click, and waited for
results. Tho room wa filled with a
soft but brilliant light so perfectly
diffused that you were entirely un
conscious of its source. In fact no
one seemed to realize tbo transition
to artificial light.
Tho lights had been on for about
ten minutes before they were noticed.
Then Joo looked up from his work and
said, "What's the matter with these
old lights, they've taken a brace all of
a sudden. This is as good as working
by daylight." Thero was n chorus of
assent at this, but I didn't want to !
say a word until I had given them o ,
thorough test. I didn't say anything
until someone looked up and noticed
that the lights had been changed; then
I stepped into the conversation.
First of all I took a vote to seo how
many of tho men liked the new lights.
I nearly dropped in my tracks when I
saw that overy man in the room voted
in the affirmative. Everybody satisfied,
all in the same day.
Then I explain,
ed the new lighting
system to them as
the electrician had
explained it to me;
that it was a unit
especially design
ed to reduce glaro
and gloom to a
minimum, n com
bination of direct
and indirect light
ing called Duplex
elite, that utilized
tbo efficient nnd
economical Mazda C, distributing the
light to nil parts of tho room, nnd not !
allowing a direct ray to reach the cjc. ,
After I had finished my description,
tho questions began. Could this light '
be used in tho home. I said that it
could,' and that shades were made in '
many colors and shapes, or tho frames '
alone could bo bought and covered to
harmonize with tho decorations. Yei, '
Duplcxalites had been used in store
and wero very successful; yes, tlie !
were equally good for hotels and ofiice
buildings, in fact Duplexalite was es
sential wherover good lighting was
needed. No, tbey wero not at all
expensive to operate. That room
would have been a wonderful place for
a Duplexalite salesman that afternoon j
for I havo never seen so many 'sold' in
such a short time in oil my life.
When tho men were nil back at
work again, I heaved a sigh of relief.
For once I had ull hands satisfied.
And if you want lighting comfort
in tho nth degree, you had belter do
as I did try Duplexalite.
