Christmas turkeys, leads of coal, drug gists' prescriptions, parcel-pest packages all are weighed en Fairbanks Scales. If you have a "prob lem" that involves any form of industrial weighing, Mr. Schwabenland can recommend a scale te solve it. Our Philadelphia Branch started with Fairbanks Scales.

VA Have you any tramps in your card system? By tramps we mean ragged, homeless cards the dog deg cared Belsheviki of any card system. They hate work! The efficiency of your card system is dependent upon the kind of cards you use', just as your automobile engine is dependent upon the kind of oil or the quality of "gas." De net use cards of different weights, for the light cards will stick te the heavy cards. De net buy cards of peer quality, for they will become ragged, and prevent speedy handling. Yeu cannot buy some of your cards here some there, and be nine of uniform quality. Ner should you buy cards whose only recommendation is cheapness. Buy geed cards. Buy them from a reputable manufac turer. Library Bureau manufactures mere than 2,400,000 cards a day quality cards, made up inniany forms for all classes of business.
