If King Midas had started in sav-
ing ten cents a week he would have
saved a dime, therefore, on each of
the 140,870 weeks. This would make
him the neat little sum of 814.097J0.
Although not a fortune In these days,
814,097.20 Is quits a fair sum to save
by giving np one cigar & week. But
there is more to follow.
In those days of political upheaval
and commercial uncertainty, capital
was entitled to a bigger return on

The risk was much greater. Though
