Single Room Expands Into Larg ! est Baking Powder Fao- 1 ' Tories In World i - I When ,W. M. Wriffht founded j the Calumet Making Powder Co. in the spring of 188!, he remeii one liltle room on the top floor of u small three story building, that still stands in Chicago, on North State htreet, just at the north end of the bridge over the Chicago Hiver. This little room was Office and Factory.. Mr. Wright himself was manufacturer, Oflice Mana ger and Salesman. His total manufacturing equip ment consisted of a hand mixer, with an extremely small stock of uppiies. This was all hidden be hind calico curtains that stretched across the room. An empty str.rch barrel with a board across the top, served as a desk. Salesman Wright worked on the outside getting 'orders that came in and turned them over to Oflice Manager Wright, and then had Manufacturer Wright roll up his sleeves and make enough baking powder to take care of Salesman Wright's orders. lU'it behind the courage and ambition that gave life to these early efforts, was a flaming pur pore to make a better baking powder; to treat the retail deal er as a business partner, and to protect the consumer from an in ferior product. The reward to such a business crusade has been phenomenal. Today the Calumet Baking Pow der Co. has the largest baking powder factories in the world and its sales have grown to be 1k as much as those of any other brand. The Company's home plant in . Chicago, built in 1914, has a total floor space of 160,000 square feet, 400 times the amountvof floor .space provided hy the little State i Street store room where Calumet firxt heralded its slogan; "Best by Test." This home of Calumet U the largest, best equipped and most sanitary plant of its kind in the world. Karly in 1920 the demand of Calumet bad outgrown the Chi cago Plant, and plant No. 2 was located in East St. Louis, 111. This increased the Company's production about 40 per cent and put Calumet in close reach of the Southern States, where it plays such an important part in baking the famous hot breads of the South, OFFICIALS SEE PROSPERITY PGR ALASKAN TRAOE W. . WIIIOHT During 1920 Calumet had dif ficulty in obtaining sufficient ma terials of the high grade required. To safeguard against any pos sibility of inferior materials en tering Into the manufacture of Calumet, the Company at a cost of $1,000,000 purchased an im- mense material plant at Joliet, 111., covering six acres, with 43 individual buildings and a total space of more then 1,000,000 feet. This plant guarantees Calumet's ability to back up the Calumet slogan: "pure in the can pure in the baking." It is a far cry from the little 20 foot room in which W. M. Wright incubated the Calumet Baking Powder Co. to the Com pany's present mammoth quar ters the largest baking powder factories in the world. But Mr. Wright himself, now Chairman of the Board of Directors, refuses to admit there has been anything wonderful in this growth. '"Only one thing has brought this all to pass," he says, "and that is I had from the beginning the un surpassable quality of Calumet ' Baking Towder." di'lulse of her husband lust year, liu-4 Koniewhiit inaln a sorrowful event In tlio Uvfs but did not hinder their rolirafro and dctci-iiiinution to achieve to live tol'oi'Ko ahead: and their plut'0 shows the similarity of the oiilhein contented folk, . who uro friendly antl liosplttihlc to nil ullke. l-'ine horses and entile are In evi dence and well kept fences and hulldluKH arc pleasing- features of the Uods-iy's home on Catherine .

Ilesplte Kerious handicaps during the past r.rt.. ..nn. hoa - covered Its stability and, in the word: I of a Department of Interior ane- iiwuiii-viiicmi, in lining wine iiiun- v.," an even keel "like a ship righting herself after' a terrible gale." The forecast of smooth sailing ahead is! based on the report of the collector of customs at Juneau, ju-st received in 'Washington. "The year closed witli an increase in the commerce of the territory over 1921 of $20,780,401 and with a healthy growth in practically all the industries," says the statement issued from the department of Secretary Work. "Exports from the territory of Alaska more than doubled the imports, leaving the balance in trade in Alaska's favor by a handsome margin. "Tne outstanding increase in value of shipments to the United States is shown in canned salmon, both as to the number of pounds and value, i This was due to the revival of the salmon canning industry, as well as a more nearly normal run of salmon in Alaska. An increase also worthy of note, because of its -rapid growth, is that of pickled fish represented primaritf bf the herring industry. A number of large herring salte;-ies were installed during 1022 in south west Alaska and these were kept run ning until late in the fall to meet the demands for this sea food. "In spito of serious gold mining reverses during the past few years, the mineral output of the territory for 1922'..'as approximately $18,000, 000, or an increase over 15121 of more than $1,000,000. This increase was due primarily to a larger output of copper, yet it reflects in some meas ure the improvement of the entire mineral industry. Pre-war figures can he considered only in comparisons and for the five years ended in lftl4 the average annual value of Alaska's mineral output was $19,700,000. So. compared in values, Alaska's mineral output in 1920 is most encouraging for a revival of this industry. "The canned clam industry, which was somewhat dormant during .'-0 J 21. took on new life in 12. ' , outlook for a larger pack in ,;ood. With , shipments aggregJt... $144,171, the shrimp mc'usliy isj showing a t-.U-ndy growth. "the shipn.ant of sawed lumber from Alaska to the UmUi i t e, and also for export to. foivign coun tries, is most gratifying unni lll2 lumber was loaded direct o.i vessels for export trade. A numhe. of mills arc reported to be under, contract for sinfflar shipment.;, dm tug 192.'!. "The possibility of increased oil. development in Alaska was promising at the cloe of 922.

Production Ironii this field, however, lias not yet. reached the expoiting stage. A ne.vj oil field is now under oPveluPmc-au in the Cold Hay district. "The travel movement, as Miowiii in the statcinei.t of arrivals and de- ,li-l,wps nlcasinir increase! in travel' to Alaska from the Stales. Whiie the departures from Alaska are in excess of the arlivals, it is not believed that this indicates any falling off in population, but rathe: is due to the tact thai the residents of the interior are taking advantage of the cheaper transportation ollered by the Alaska Railroad to spend part of tho winter in the States.

MUSIC, DANCING and the BEST TO EAT At IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR Just the moment you apply Mcmho Sulphur to an itch i up, burning or broken out skin, the itdiing stops and healing begins, says a noted skin spe cialist. This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of its germ-destroying prop erties, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pim- pies or roughness.
