Smith^and His Wife 
and Their Evenings 
How She Helped Cut Out 
Overtime at the Office 
Young Mrs. Tom Smith thought her 
husband had to work entirely too hard. 
It worried her. 
Night after night, Tom had to go back 
to his desk. Frequently on Sundays, too. 
He was the “statistics man” of a small 
but growing company. And the eye¬ 
straining, brain-fagging work with fig¬ 
ures and details was telling on him. 
Besides, he and she were cheated out 
of their evenings together. 
Well, one day Mrs. Tom read in a 
magazine about a time-work-and-worry- 
saving business machine. 
And straightway she saw it would cut 
out the night-work which was robbing 
Tom of his rest and recreation. 
It seemed to her a wonderful machine. 
For it did work which she had supposed 
only man’s brains could do. 
It added, multiplied, subtracted and divided. 
It printed the figures in columns, and added 
them, almost as fast as you could say them. 
It added dollars and cents, or feet and inches, 
or pounds and ounces, or fractions, or anything. 
It did this mechanical part of accounting work 
in one-fourth the time required by even a “light¬ 
ning calculator.” 
And it was mechanically impossible for the ma¬ 
chine to make a mistake. 
It was the Burroughs Adding and Listing Ma¬ 
chine. 
Made in 86 different models— one to fit the re¬ 
quirements of every kind of business. 
And sent to any office on free trial. 
Mrs. Tom could hardly wait to tell Tom. 
He knew of the “Burroughs,” but said the busi¬ 
ness wasn’t “big enough.” Besides, he hadn’t the 
“say-so.” 
But Mrs. Tom was determined to “emancipate” 
her husband. 
So, taking matters in her own hands, while he 
was at the office one day, she wrote the manu¬ 
facturers for their book, “A Better Day’s Profits” 
-— telling them to send it to Tom’s firm. 
Well, the book came, addressed to the com¬ 
pany —and went to the Boss’s desk. It wasn’t a 
catalog—but a business book— so unusual, so full 
of new and profit-producing ways of doing 
things, that it set the gentleman thinking. 
And the free, fair trial, which put it up to the 
machine to make good, appealed to the business- 
sense of the Boss. 
So he wrote the Burroughs people, asking for 
a “Trial.” 
And, the Burroughs is now a prized “assistant” 
in that office—at work every day. 
Tom and “the boys” are never behind with their 
work-—they get their statements and balances and 
reports out right on time. — And always right. 
No more night work in that office. 
And the boys come to work each morning rested 
and refreshed— alert to accomplish things. They 
are more useful to the company. 
And, by saving three-fourths of the time for¬ 
merly required for the first addition, and all the 
time formerly spent in going over the figures for 
verification and in search of elusive errors, and 
by eliminating costly delays and mistakes, that 
Burroughs has, in a little over a year, more than 
paid for itself. 
Our book “A Better Day’s Profits” will be 
sent, with our compliments, to anyone who will 
write for it. 
Any firm, no matter how small may have a free, 
fair trial of the Burroughs.

The Collector’s Corner 
I N the year 1818 an artist named W. G. 
Wall came to America from Dublin 
and made some sketches of scenery and 
buildings. These he sent back to England 
and they were printed on the popular blue 
earthenware made by Staffordshire pot¬ 
ters. Andrew Stevenson of Cobridge was 
the potter who printed Wall’s views, and 
he used a less intense shade than some of 
the other manufacturers and was a pains¬ 
taking workman. His borders were hand¬ 
some, and his pieces are always in de¬ 
mand by collectors. 
A Reproduction of the Rare Platter designated 
New York from Weehawk 
The platter, of which a reproduction is 
shown here, designated on the back, “New 
York from Weehawk,’’ is a rare one. It 
is eighteen and a half by fourteen inches, 
and was sold at auction in New York last 
February for the astonishing price of 
$1,225. 
Another platter also sketched by Wall 
and belonging to the same series, the view 
this time being New York from Brooklyn 
Heights, brought in 1903, also at auction, 
$290. This was considered at the time a 
record price and no example of either 
platter appeared in the market till last 
February. In March, 1912, a riveted copy 
of the Weehawk platter brought $80, 
though each year high class collectors will 
have less and less to do with mended or 
restored china or furniture. 
Training the Dog- — IV 
W HEN your dog has been thoroughly 
taught the lesson “come,” and not 
until then, you may take up the second 
real step in his schooling — “lie down.” 
There are several reasons why this should 
be the next thing on the program. In the 
first place, it is simple and easily enforced; 
also, it is practical and absolutely essen¬ 
tial in the edcuation of every well-man¬ 
nered dog. And when I speak of “lie 
down” I mean lie down and stay down 
until permission is given to do otherwise. 
There is absolutely no excuse for the dog 
whose master makes any pretense to hav¬ 
ing him well trained, to hop up again 
three seconds (or three minutes) after he 
has been ordered to lie down, unless he is 
told to do so. Neither a person passing
