FOt'lt hundred and six years ago,
In 1f07, this continent received
Its name, Amerlcn. It wan a
Herman scholar who decided
that tho vast, newly found land ncross
tho seas wns old enough to ho named.
Ho was tho ono man In tho world with
the wit to sec the possibilities of a
continent named America nnd tho only
ono with such n sonso of sympathy that
It mado his heart ache to see a half
grown country almost lilg enough for
long trousors running nround unclas

great was Fr. Martin Waltr.emuller,
who hailed from Frolburg In Urolsgau,

relicts of literary gontlcmon.
In naming America, Martin went nt
It in tho regulation wny. Ho wrote n
book, which ho called n geography, snd
in It ho placed a cuto pink smudge and
labeled this America. In his introduc
tion, he said: "And tho fourth part
of tho world hnvlug beon discovered
by Amerigo or Amerieus, wo tuny rail
it Amerlcn." That was nil, but tho
namo stuck liko n burr and now,' more
than -100 yenrs later, seems as fresli as

Solving the
Problem
of a
Better Living-More Money
For ALL on the Coast
For years, the cry baa beeu, hero on the coast, "BUY A FARM OS ACREAGE, AND YOU'LL MAKE A dOOD, EASY LIVING. "
Za a measure, this Is true. But the fct remains, that to got tho most out of a farm or piece of land, or out of a store, or whatever other profession or business we may be in, THERE MUST BE SOMEONE WHO WILL BUY
THOSE 'nilNOS WE HAVE TO SELL.
The man who buys these things Is practically always the man who cannot produce thera himself.
Here In the West, we need moro men who are engaged In manufacturing enterpriseo men who work la mills and shops. These men and their families need all such things as are now produced on the coast and must buy them
of those nearby who produce them.
It Is plain, therefore, that to reap the greatest amount of good from the business la which we are engaged, THIS BIO WESTERN COUNTRY MUST BE MORE PERFECTLY BALANOED IN THE LINES OF BUSINESS IN
WHICH ITS INHABITANTS ARE ENQAQED.
Did you ever stop to think
That only a very small part of the manufactured goods that we buy every day
of our lives are made here on tbe eoaatt '
The people who should bo using those thing which we produce Are not living
near us. Just thiuk what it would mean to tbe small farm owners alone if most
of the furniture, cereal foods, clothes, etc., which they buy were made right
here at home by men who, in turn, wero buying their vegetables, butter, eggs, etef
Think of tbe advantage to every man, woman and child who now lives here if,
with mills and factories located along our rivers nnd in our cities, large and
nuiall, thousands upon thousands of families wero living hero employed in these
mlllsl The result would not only be a better market for what is now produced,
but a better price on those manufactured articles which we are buying every day.
Instead of paying for high transportation rates from tbe East, the raw mate
rial would bo manufactured into the finished product and sold right here at home.
It is plain that what wo need is more and larger manufacturing institutions.
The result in increased prices for what we produce and cheaper prices on the'
manufactured goods we have to buy is euro to follow,

Prosperity Problem Solved
The question is, "How can we get to that state!"
Tbe answer is simple.
We. ourselves, are responsible for tho present condition for tho shortage In
mills and fuctories.
Wo are to blume becauso thoro nro not right now thousands upon thousands of
families drawing good weekly pay euvelopcs, eunbliug them to put a largo amount
of money Into circulation among us. It is our own fuult that wu huva to pay
excosslvu prices for muny articles. It is our own fault that wo send our raw
products East to be inado up, then bring thorn bnck hero and pay Eastern fue
torlcs und Eusturu cities to make what wu ought to huvo mado right here.
Tbe factories ou the coast aro uuxious to go uhead to enlarge, to employ thou
sands more of men. Hut tho territory in whleh tlioy can soil tlioir output Is
limited to this coast alone, in almost every case. Tlitiy cannot compote with
big Eastern manufacturers. They cannot noil in thu Kustern markets. In many
cases, they have not tho largo umouut of capital to ndvertlso extensively, oven
in this, their homo territory. They eunnot go into tho papers and magazines and
convinuo you that tho goods tlioy make aro as good if not bettor, us cheap if
not cheaper for you to buy, as Eastern made goods.
We know it is the desire of almost every family on the coast to boost for coast made goods, because it helps every family living here, it means better times, more money for everyone, better property values and increased
prosperity if we, can make our own manufactured articles from our own raw products and keep tbe money circulating among ourselves.
In the past, however, it has been impossible for us to know the Pacific Coast made products. We could not ordinarily tell whether what we wanted was made on tbe coast, To let ovcryono know plainly, in advance, whether a
product is made on the coast, manufacturers are now uniting and using the stamp which is shown here to designate a coast made article Whatever you wish to purchase, ask for such an article bearing this stamp. Almost
everything you can think of that you may need is made on the coast and made well. If you boost for it, tbe result will be that such factories making such products can grow, can give work to moro people; can help YOU to
better times.
Better Living Conditions for All
Show this article to your friends. Tell them what It means to everyone on tbe coast. Explain to them bow
it means money in their poekets if they will Demand this stamp on every article they buy.
Ask your dealer to show you this stamp on the goods he wants to sell you. Remember, every time you
insist on an article bearing this stamp, you are helping several Pacific Coast families Your Own, and all
those interested In that product.
DEALERS: Ask your Jobbers to supply you with goods bearing the Pacific Coast Products Stamp. Yonr
customers will be asking for them.
