E operating expenses and interest on | the indebtedness of the railways are now much larger than they were before the World War. But the greatest increase of all has taken place in their taxes.

In a recent communication, H. B. Colby, the president, said, "The seaâ€" son which now opens for us should be a prosperous ome of the club. Our first duty, as 1 see it, is to bring in more‘ men for membership, who are interested in art. Now is the time for new men to join, fer they will ih" the full benefit of the various winter activities we have planned." Thus is presented a chance for any business man interested in art to join this fine organization. Many of its members have become so proficient in painfing that their work is sccepted by juries to be hung in the most important local exhibiâ€" tions in Chicago, that ofâ€"the annual.

Celâ€" lophane madgâ€"« hit with the customers of one company asâ€"the bacon, either lean or fat, wrapped in this material, could be easily selected to suit the demands of the housewife‘s family. Before this was used, much time and patience was wasted in opening packâ€" ages to get just what was wanted. â€" The desire for usefuiness and beauâ€" ty in wrapping has found wider ex-“ pression in the toilet goods field. Here color has entered just as it does everywhere today. It has taken such a hold on America that at a meeting of the International associati of Master Painters and Decorators,)the members were assured that, â€" in(‘the near future, we would see pink and orange banks, city halls, office bu{ldâ€" ings and houses. The modern nd is for more and brighter decoration. The bright colors displayed on ‘the counters of the beauty sections prove this. Each manufacturer wraps each of his several limes: of merchandise in a distinctive wrapper. | BUSINESS MEN‘S ART CLUB NEW IN CHICAGO Close Coâ€"Partnership ~ But utility and beauty have formâ€" ed a close coâ€"partnership in our modâ€" ern lift, and these handâ€"maidens of a new day are revolutionizing the theaâ€" ter, the home, the school, and they are creeping into the strongholds of industry and commerce. Note the difference! Soap for the kitechen now comes wrapped in attracâ€" tive colorful packages; there are boxâ€" es of somp chips, tablets of special preparation for laundry use, and soap powders for scouring. Toilet soaps may be had in cakes of alf sizes and scents. There are somps for oily skins and soaps for dry skins. There are soaps for shampoo, soaps for healing and soaps for reducing. There are as many kinds as there are people, yet they all share one common characâ€" teristic, individual wrapping. Package Goods Rule \â€"Package goods are the rule rather he exception. Different grades and kinds ‘of sugar come in handy pound â€" and five pound packages. Breakfast food in family size packâ€" ages, or individual portions are kept by all dealers. The cracker barrel has been replaced by multiâ€"colored small packages which tempt the purchaser at every turn. Some bakers pack their cakes in cardboard boxes, others in paper tubs and yet others in tin cans of various‘ sizes. â€" One enterprising cake baker increased his sales about 1500 percent by wrapping hig delicâ€" ious sugar cooki¢s in clear cellophane. This protected the product but alâ€" lows the customer to see for himself just how good the cakes were. Anoâ€" ther baker put his animal crackers in cartons which were miniature cireus wagons, and thus made every child his friend. .
