The grocer, the butcher, the baker, the merchant in every line of trade MUST have your co-operation along these lines at once. With the scarcity of raw materials manufacturers have been obliged to face a cutting down of discounts and credit terms they in turn have been forced to do the same with the jobber and the jobber has been compelled to proceed in like manner with the dealer either that, or increase prices and increased prices to the dealer means that YOU will eventually have to bear the burden. Pay your bills promptly. By so doing, you will enable the dealer to meet his bills promptly and secure the advantage of lowest pos sible prices, by which you are directly benefited. Why not re-arrange your system of running accounts? Tell your dealer to render bills weekly or every two weeks. You'll find the amounts smaller and much easier to meet, and you will be doing a lot toward hold ing down the upward trend of living costs. Pay your bills promptlv. The dealer needs your co-operation goods cost him more to-day than ever he has more money tied up in stock and he is making less money than under ordinary conditions. And on top of all this he is obliged to meet his obli gations involving greater sums of money in a shorter time than ever.

BALDWIN PLANT HELPING U.S. Sets Aside Contracts to Take Up Special Government Or der; Four Engines Ready Philadelphia, Aug. 9. A record for turning out $6,G00,000 worth of locomotives Is being made by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in an order for 160 engines which the Unit ed States Government intends sending to France to haul Its own troops and supplies to the fighting front. This order was placed with Bald win s three weeks ago, when the com pany was loaded up with more than twelve months' business. The first engine will be completed and ready for shipment on Saturday. From then until October 1, when the whole con tract will be finished, the company will turn out on an average of four locomotives for every working day. The credit for this Intensive work, ■lt is understood. Is due to John T. jykes, general superintendent at the Hroad and Spring Garden streets plant. When the order was taken the company had closed to $100,000,000 worth of business to be finished first, a part of which Included contracts for engines for the French, British and Russian Governments. Sidetrack Contractu In line with the statement some time ago of Samuel M. Vauclaln, v l c n P . r S si ! l<, , nt general manager of Baldwin's, that the United .States automatically had first call on the production of the plant, the previous contracts were sidetracked tempo rarily and this order was pushed ahead. As was stated when the contract was received, this is the first busi ness the Government ever placed for locomotives. The cost will be added to the Reneral war bill, and American railway engineers and track grnnfts al- I ! n £ rance laying the tracks o\er which these engines are to be flu ?! e loC( *™tives are of the con solidation or ten-wheel type, and will complete*! 0 ' 088 M faSt as they are Railroad Notes Milton T Robinson, Philadelphia division conductor, who Injured his side some time ago when he fell from a car In Marysvllle, was out is im Proving slowly. i.„,, ar ® a £. ain being made by local railroad officials to get several retired employes back into service They are badly needed in some de partments.
