Application fo r' change o f the corp­ orate name from the Mosby Medicine Company to Konjola, Inc. will be filed at the office o f the Secretary, o f State at Columbus. In discussing the negotiations' which led up to the investment o f the eastern capital in the Cincinnati concern, Mr. Mosby njade the following statement: ‘'Numerous efforts have been made in the last two years,.on the part of into the company but it has been only trade and .banking interests to buy in connection with our present expan­ sion program that a sale o f minority interest has seemed desirable, This Sale o f minority interest not only as­ sures our present expansion program but will also allow, through special ar­ rangement, particularly favorable par­ ticipation in the ownership o f the com-, pany to those drug dealers Who have been largely responsible fg r the suc­ cess. o f the business. “ The business p£ the company had its inception seven years ago since which time Rorijola haft grown to be one o f the two or three "outstanding successes in the proprietary field. “ During each o f the past three years rapidly increasing sales have permit­ ted the company to practically triple its advertising appropriation over jthat o f each preceding year. ■Last year the company spent approximately $1,700, 000,00 in advertising, nine-tenths o f which was spent irt newspapers throughout the country. “ Net profits o f the company for -the year 1929, after charging out to Cdr- . rent expense the entire advertising appropriation o f $1,700,000.00, were approximately $300,000:00. These net profits represent an increase o f over 30056 earnings during the past tWo years, , “ For the first four months o f the present calendar year we have main­ tained our advertising expenditure at approximately the 1929 rate and after1 charging eat all advertising to current expanse ear net earnings are running approximafiely double those fo r the year 19M.H The riae o f the Mosby Medicine Company and its product is one o f the marvels o f the medical, drug and busi­ ness world. It is also amazing to lead­ ers in the advertising business. It has dazzled everyone hut the man who did it, Newspaper men in an, interview recently granted them by Mr, Mosby revealed same interesting facts con­ cerning the phenomenal growth o f the Konjola organization, Seven years ago Gilbert II. Mosby had an idea. This was not an unusual experience for Mr. Mosby had been having ideas ever since he was a kid on the family farm near Versailles, Kentucky, and is still having them but this was the big idea like the thrill that comes once in a lifetime. Mr. Mosby had been working for several medicine companies. He knew the business from top to bottom. He analyzed' the success and failures o f ( different companies and by the process ij.J- of deduction and elimination he gath- ,f#i ered up the best points o f all o f them, studied the results o f his analysis, de­ cided to make the best medicine in the world and stake his fortune (if $2,000- .00 can be called a fortune) and his energy on the outcome, So, armed with the bank account o f $2,000.00, he rented admail room, installed labora­ tory equipment about large enough to fit up * modern kitchenette, attached a two-burner gas stove and got ready to operate, Mosby. had alyeady deyised the tford “Konjola” . Then ingredients had to be bought; 32 o f these, 22 o f them roots and herbs. ThiB purchase put a large dent into the capital. Mushy organizer, mixer, bottler, labeler, and most everything; also he.was the sales manager'and traveling representative. When the first batgi of KbbJbla emerged from the busy little two- bumer stdve Mosby made a quick shift from overalls to a one hundred dollar suit o f clothes and had the first ship­ ment o f Konjola sent to Muncie, Indi­ ana, and, the1career o f Konjola was launched in a drug store in the Hoosiev state with .Mosby, -sole owner and originator o f the medicine, as the ori­ ginal Konjola Man.

W McCuen and I. P, Blauser o f the department of agricultural engineering o f the Ohio btate University, The bulletin is pub­ lished and distributed by the Agricul­ tural Extension Service of the Univer­ sity, The data in the bulletin were obtain­ ed through a three-year study on an experimental line established for the purpose.' The average yearly cost o f the elec­ tricity ranged from $62,82 on one farm to $141.39 on another. The farm using the most electricity was equip­ ped with an electric range, a refriger­ ator, water heater, washing machine, vacuum sweeper, coffee percolator, electric iron, fan, toaster, heating pad, glow heater, curling iron, a deep well water system and a shallow well water system, a milk cooler, a milk iterator with a circulating pump, a milking machine, a five-horsepower motor used for a feed grinder and com shelter, and a one-fourth horsepower utility mqtor. The farm with the $02,82 annual bill was equipped with rafige, washing machine, iron, sweeper,, waffle iron, percolator, fan, glow heater, shallow well water system, and a three-horse­ power mown* used an a feed grinder. Cojfts of electricity vary in different; localities, it is pointed out in the bulle­ tin, and therefore the figures given apply only to the experimental, line' on which they were gathered.
