than one of those diaries.”
‘‘The supply account can be kept
the same way,” said Larry. “Of

hours. This time must be con

each month. Then all of the
amounts under "ach class of work
are collected together and that,

class of work per foot. We can -’o
the same thing after we start min

JacK began to laugh. "You will
get a goshawful cost this month if
vou odd in that compressor bill.”
Larry’s face went blank, and h?
scratched his ear reflectively. ‘.‘I
guess I missed something. Seems
to me that the Prof, did say some
thing about the money spent for
equipment, hut I didn’t pay much
attention. I wasn’t interested, i
thought that keeping costs was
something for the bookeeper. The

charge up the cost of running it to

$3000 to put it in we can’t charge

charge ourselves rent for it.” Jack
was opening his mouth to continue
but his quick thinking partner beat
him to it.
“That’s it. It will cost us $2900

will take another $100 cash to haul
it up here and set it up, that is not
counting our time. If we put that
in, it will cost $400 more. Now we’ve
got to get enough rent on it to pay
that $3400 by the time we are thru
up here.”
“Well, you must not forget that
we can sell it for something when
we get thru,” said Jack. “If we
work up here five years that outfit
ought to be worth one-half of its
cost. Of course we couldn’t include
the cost of getting it up hte hill

Reach
for a

I
George M. Cohan,
America’s Stage Favorite
NO longer need a trim, slender figure be
your envy. No longer need you face the
rigid requirements of harsh dieting methods.
Overweight is banished when you banish fatten
ing sweets and eating between meals and light a
Lucky. “Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.”
20,679 physicians have confirmed the fact that
Lucky Strike is less irritating to the throat than
other cigarettes. These professional men realise
the value of toasting, the secret process that elim
inates impurities and irritants. Lucky Strike is
a delightful blend of the world’s finest tobaccos.
And toasting develops a flavor which is a delight
ful alternative for fattening sweets.
Many prominent athletes testify that Luckies
steady their nerves and do not harm their physical
condition. Men have long known this and practic
ed it successfully. These are the men who watch
their health, who keep trim and fit, realizing the
dangers of overweight. And now, women may en
joy a companionable smoke with their husbands
and brothers—at the same time slenderizing
in a sensible manner. That’s why folks say:
“It’s good to smoke Luckies.”
A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet
is recommended, but the authorities are over
whelming that too many fattening sweets are
harmful and that too many such are eaten by
the American people. So, for moderation’s sake
we say: —
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.”
