“KODAK” Is our Registered and common-law Trade- Mark and cannot be rightfully applied ex- cept to goods of our manufacture.

Have you hunted the shillelagh for its Jong, abundant hair? Have you been to Honolulu and ridden in a poi? Can you tell me whether backsheesh best applies to girl or boy? “T must warn you that in Madrid it is noticed that no more Do the pretty senoritas wear the grace- ful toreador— It is sad how customs alter!
