Common
Brick is
Common
Sens i
EVERYTHING is against g
Li the wooden house. Drv
weather shrinks it, wet
weather swells it; fire
burns it, worms eat it, rain H
rots it. It costs heavily
for repairs, for painting,
for insurance; and at last it H
often gets so worn-out and M
weak, that it won't even sud- m
port the mortgage, and you H
nave to pay it o in your
old age.
Use common sense, and
build with common brick. It
never Bhrinks or swells, it
won't burn, and even the worm
will turn before trvini? to liore
into it. Hot or cold, wet or g
dry, it's all the same to brick. H
Fire suit it perfectly, for it a
was bred and born in a fur
nace. It makes a warm
house in winter and a cool
one in summer. It require?
fow ropairi and no paint,
saves both coal and ice, and
the insurance man pesters you
to let him give you a perpetual
policy at the lowest rate. If
you nre lucky enough to own
an old brick house, you can
borrow more money on it now
than when it was new.
Do you want any more
arguments for common brick?
If so, what you need is common-sense.

The Var Department is now offering to the American
public, through the thousands of wholesale and retail
dealers of this country, millions of dollars vorth of
canned moats at prices approximating those which pre
vailed .seven years ago. Foodstuff costs now are near
ly three1 tiroes as much as in 1913. Here, then, you
havov,tangible evidence of a material reduction in the
coif JfIrvirirj:,' even under pre-war figures.
ROAST BEEF- BACON-
Quality Condition Guarantee
These meats, stored at points of short haul to nearly
every section of the United States, are the best in
quality, grade and condition, obtainable. Packed by
tho leading packing houses of North and South Amer
ica, under Governmental supervision, their quality is
unquestioned, their condition is guaranteed. Backed
by the United States Government, the War Depart
ment will make good every claim put forward for these
proncts.
The War Department guarantees to deliver meats in
perfect condition. The most rigid inspection was made
as these meats were. being selected, cooked, prepared
for canning, and canned. Six million men thrived on
these products while the nation was at war. The
health and strength of these millions testifies to their
nutritive value and their palatability.
A Nationwide Distribution
The War Department Is making it possible in fact, is
doing everything in its power to place these meats
in the homes of evory individual at a minimum cost,
from the heart of the most populous of cities to the
shack on a Western plain.
Every retailer from the smallest to the largest, whether he carries
foodstuffs or npt, will perform a duty he rightfully owes his com
munity by acting as a medium through which this distribution may
be made.
Every wholesaler, city, county or state institution, municipality,
hotel, caterer, restaurant and individual organization maintaining
cooperative purchasing bureaus, can and should cooperate in this
movement the purpose of which is to reduce living expenses by
selling these canned meats at below-the-market prices.
CORNED BEEF-CORNED BEEF HASH
For the American People Only
These meats are not being offered for export. It is the purpose of
the War Department to use every available outlet for the distri
bution, of these edibles so that the American public as a whole1
may benefit directly by the extremely Jow prices at which they
will be sold.
Wide publicity is being givep to the wholesale prices at which
these meats are being sold. Retailers acting in complete harmony
with the purpose of the Government to get these meata to the
people at correspondingly low prices will render a service that
will be at once recognized and appreciated, the good-will value of
which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents.
More than fifty million people in the United States are being told
convincingly that the War Department in selling these meats at
the prices named affords them an unusual opportunity to lower
their living costs.
