AMERICAN FINDS IT r
CHEAPER TO LIVE AT
HOME THAN ABROAD
LONDON, Oct. 24 (by Associated
Press).—Adam N. Singer o£ Berkshire,
son ot the American inventor of the
sewing machine, has complained to the
royal commission on income tax that
his income derived from property in
the United States, is so depreciated by
double taxes, once in America and
once in Great Britain, that he can not
continue to reside in this country.
Describing his situation and that of
his brother, Washington M. Singer, he
said that their incomes were reduced
to about 29 to 32 per cent of what
they would have been if untaxed.
America, he said, takes 34 to 39 per
cent, and the British inland revenue
takes about one-half of what is left
after the American tax is deducted.
“By going to live in America we
should double the incomes we actually
receives,” said Adam N. Singer. “One
of our brothers already has done this.”

nounced today, is to appear in book

the additional purpose, it is said, of

annual reunion will be held in Chi
cago in November. Captain James
Sharp, formerly of the Twenty-third
infantry, is in charge. General Le
jeune is president of the organization,
Brigadier General Preston Brown is

Hoppin of 445 Wall street is secretary.

Are Becoming Famous
There’s a Reason
Two University of Washington girls
started to make candy on a small scale
for an exclusive trade. The demand j |j
for this delicious candy grew so rapidly
that they were forced to enlarge their
factory before they were fairly started.
They are now supplying only one store
in a town. Luckily we secured the ex
clusive agency for Cordova.
