M E A S U R E OK SUCCESS.
It is one of the appointed condi
tions of the labor of men that in
proportion to the time between the
read sowing and the harvest is the
fullness of the fruit and that gener
ally, therefore, the farther off we
place our aim and the less we de
sire to be ourselves the witnesses of
what we have labored for the more
wide and rich will be the measure
of our success.—John Ruskin.

RUSSIA'S RED STAIRCASE.
'“Yes, Madam, this fabric shows identically the
same details and color as would be shown in broad day
light. You see I'm displaying the goods under the clear
white rays of this wonderful new General Electric Mazda
Lamp. It’s really the equiv alent of daylight, and that’s
why all up-to-date stores are using it. O f course there
are also other vital reasons, one of which is this: the G -E
Mazda Lamp gives tw ic e the light of the ordinary car
bon incandescent lamp—and c o s ts le ssto burn.”
The invention of the Mazda Lamp has caused thous
ands of people to have their houses and stores wired for
electric light. If you are n o t now using it, come in
for a moment to-day and let us p ro v e to y o u r entire
satisfaction that this wonderful new lamp has made
electric light as cheap as it it convenient
