For a long time we’ve had something like this in mind. We often say we wish all our good friends, our customers, could come in and see us once in a while or that we could get around and chat with you every now and then. Just so they’d know we’re human and understand how hard we’re trying to make love to you. Here we are, partners in business, so to speak, of boosting this district, and there are actually hundreds of home owners here we have never shaken by the hand. Well, we can’t leave the business and go out galavanting around, so we’ve got up this budget, or sheet of chin-music, information, dope, and fun, and it will call on you once a week for us. We are going to try to fill it up with live Stuff—let you know what’s new in the hardware, paints, and wall paper game, and what others are doing to boost our dis trict, and anything else we think will interest or amuse you. And we’re not going to pull a long lace and pretend we’re at a funeral all the time either. If we hear a goou story that won’t burn the paper we’re going to pass it along. While we hope L. H. CO’S NEWS or any of its jokes will be GOOD, it won’t be GOODY-GOOD, and we hope it won’t offend any of our friends who may be deacons on Sunday. Now, we want to know how you like our name, and our news. The next time you are in just say, “L. H. CO’S NEWS is a rotten name” and “it’s NEWS give me a sharp pain, or if you like it or feel good-natured and wish to say “Its fine” or “Keep it up,’’ and if you want to write us a line about it, you know we’ll be mighty glad to hear you. Tests For Purity If White Lead is pure, it can be reduced by heat to metallic lead either by plac ing a small quantity of Wnite Lead on a piece of charcoal and applying an alcohol flame directed by a jeweler’s blow-piece, or by placing a small quaniity of lead upon an ordinary match about one-half inch from the head, ignite the match, and then turn ing the match so that the flame will be directed against the lead. If the lead is pure, a few small globlues or beads of metallic lead will appear. If there is as much as 5 per cent of any other pigment it can not be reduced to metallic lead.
