There are so many kinds of wheels — wagon wheols, spinning wheels, automobile wheels, locomo- tive wheels, water wheels, steering wheels, cog wheels and the thousand and one other sorts and sizes used in machinery. And every one of them, when pictured in a photo- graph, tells some kind of story of human interest. Wheels tell Jou tales of speed and power; they are witnesses to man's inventiveness and ingenuity; frons the wheels of the ox -cart to the landing wheels of an airplane, they symbolize the history .of man's progress; new wheels tell of life and activity; old wheels, broken and abandoned, spell obsolescence, decay and the end of things. What a stimulus to plailosophte reflec- tion are pictures of wheels! Wheels to photograph may be found everywhere—in junk heaps and farmyards, in streets, in fac- tories, in your own home. Photo- graphically, their many patterns and the shadows' of their patterns offer a variety of fascinating studies. Wheels are easy to photograph- You can be leisurely in your prepara- tions, unless, of course, they are wheels on a moving vehicle.

When wheels are in revolution, don't think you should always use a fast shutter speed. Blurred spokes in the photograph will give the sense of motion just as they do to the eye.

Advertisements are a guide to value Experts can roughly estimate the value of a product by looking at it. More accurately, by handling and examining it. Its appear- ance, its texture, the "feel" and the balance of it all mean some- thing to their trained eyes and fingers. "' But no one person can be an expert on steel, brass, wood, lea- ther, foodstuffs, fabrics, and all of the materials that make up a list of personal purchases. And even experts are fooled, sometimes, by concealed flaws and imperfections. There is a surer index of value than the senses of sight and touch —knowledge of the maker's name and for what it stands. Here is the most certain method, except that of actual use, for judging the value of any manufactured goods. Here is the only guarantee , against careless workmanship, or the use of shoddy materials. This is one important reason why it pays to read advertise- ments'and to buy advertised goods. The product that is advertised is worthy of your confidence.• . Merchandise must be good or it could not be consistently advertised. Buy advertised goods. Th A Clilltoll JkJ����av�(71p�Q�y�y,{� ., d A FINE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING --BRAD ADO IN THIS ISMS. PHONE
