The Perfect Table Water
Paradise is simply the purest water on
record, as shown by Governmcnt.rcports.
As it gushes forth from Paradise Spring
in Maine, day by day, it flows through a
glass pipe into a glass-lined storage tank,
thence into a silver-lined bottling ma
chine. Before being filled, tho bottles
arc washed, rinsed and sterilized; and
only brand-new bottles arc ever used.
Thus, Paradise Water flows straight to you
from the Spring itself, with no possible
chance 61 contamination. How can any
public supply of water, oranyartificiallj
preparcd water, possibly compare with
the Nature-made purity of Paradise? ,
And, oh, what a delicious Jaste Paradise
Water has! People who try it cannot
force themselves to go back to the drink
ing of ordinary water. Paradise sparkles
like a diamond and is as flawless. It is
a delight to the eye as well as the palate.
Preserve your health and please your ap
petite, by drinking only Paradise the
perfect table water. Why not try it?
rwATWl
Paradise comes in convenient case of quarts, pints and half-pints, all full-size.
Natural or Carbonated. Your Grocer or Druggist has it or can get it for you.

Would you do this
Mr. Office Manager?
"Would you ask your clerks to work with scratchy pens?
Or with blunt pencils? Or in semi-darkness? Or with
one arm tied behind their buck?
Certainly not! And the reason is that you would lose
more in wasted minutes than you would gain by saving
a few pennies.
But just between friends aren't you doing pretty
much the same thing when you put inferior cards in your
card records?
For efficiency's sake, keep your card records on good
cards. Specifically on L. B. cards, which are of special
quality stock, that does not fray on the handling edge, or
"dog-ear". L. B. cards are uniform in size hence easy
to hantfle. They increase the Iporltability of any card
record. x
Buy L. B. cards. Samples to prove their quality will
be sent you free on request.
