Herbert Rawllnson for Its star.
The underlying thought is that be
hind each wave of crime is a sort of
head or master mind. This story tells
in a straightforward way how three per
sons scheme and plan to overthrow each
other.
Herbert Itawllnson has the role of an
Investigator of crime and by his readv
wit and keen intelligence is able to
outwit those concerned in the plot,
which deals in a way with gem thofts.

RUINED shipments constant damage
claims and yet the manufacturer
was paying a price for his shipping cases
which should have insured full protection.
Examination of his shipping cases showed
that they were long and flat 11x16x4.
Gair experts calculated that doubling the
depth and decreasing the length and width
so as to make a case 8x1 1x8 would give
them the same carrying capacity with
greatly increased strength.
To-day Gair cases of this approximately
cubical type have replaced the old flat
cases. They checked transit losses at once.
Besides being stronger, they are easier to
pack and easier to handle. The manufac
turer's message printed on the outside has
more display space and far greater adver
tising value. And the fact that they require
exactly 30 less stock means an important
saving on every order.
This is just one example of the ingenuity
and mechanical skill which characterize
Gair service. We have saved American
manufacturers millions of dollars by solving
the most difficult shipping problems.
Our fifty years of experience in packing
goods of every description enables us to
work out the size and shape of case best
