! drive so fine team as does HELMBoLD. From
| three O'Clock to six, with a friend or two from
| different parts of the country, he Is on tne
| road as are thousands of other business men
of the great city, gathering health Iresh ar anu
strength for the morrow. AT SIX O'Clock we
| find him at his elegant residence on -Four
teenth street. ready Tor dinner, And there IS
always, at his well furnished table, two or three
extra plates and extra chairs, for such friends
as he may invite to his house, for HELMBoLD
believes that it is not good for man to eat
alone. And though he has at his home one OF
the most beautiful women OF the land Tor
wife, and a family of three little children. he
still delights to extend the most generous hos
ptality to those who are always welcome VIXEN
invited.
HEMBoED lives WELL This we know for of
ten have we dined from his well filled table
laughed at his joke, and listened to his exper-
fences in life.
AS business man HELMBoLD is success.
AS mel" liant he is a prominence. As Crug-
gSt he is equal to cut-glass. AS a sharp,
shrewd, enterprislng man of the world he is
nothing short of enthusiasm. While as a bold
operator and adviser he has no equals in the
country. He does business on large scale.
Lives like prince. Pays his advertising bills
with liberal hand and promptly. Pays large
salaries to those in his employ, aud aims appar-
emily, not SO much to acc Emulate money, as to
spend it for the benefit OF others. In the eve
ming you will tind him and his wife, and per-
hapS one or Two friends, occupying private
box or reserved seats at one of the Operas or
Theatres; or at home, if the weather is un-
pleasant, with a few friends, INDUCING in
social game of euchre, or something OF that
kind; or at the home of some of his friends, the
business men of New York.
When seven O'Clock in the morning comes,
you inquire for HELMBoLD and you will lind
that he is down town. He must have heard
something about the early bird catching the
worm, for certainly we know no earlier bird
among the business men of New Y Ork. than
this same little druggist His beautiful palace
of store is kept open day and night for the
accommodation of the public, and early in
the morning, before the rest of the family are
up HEMBoLD has walked to his store, looked
over the establishment, gained an appetite for
breakfast and returned. Breakfast over, the
morning papers looked at, q romp with his
family, the carriage is brought to the door and
he goes to his place of business, reaching
there at ten O'Clock, and from that time till
three in the afternoon he is most Industrious
ly engaged debating answers to hundreds of
letters, giving orders about his business, form
ing the acquaintance of strangers, chatting
with friends who drop in for moment, and
COMFORTING himself with Inc air of IN II
with all the business On hand he can possibly
attend to.
HELMBoLD is a nervous, quick, restless, am
bilious man. He understands the art of adj
vertiSing to perfection. He believes with us
that morey judiciously expended in printers
ink brings larger return than any other IL
vestment.
An idea comes to him one minute and is
acted on the next. What he does he does
quickly and thoroughly.
While other men would be canvassng, de-
batting or arguing the propriety of doing this
or that, he has accepted or rejected the propo-
sition almost before it is made to him. He
acts at once and with energy. A little hint
you may drop he will seize and magnify to
something of Importance. Some little idea
that another man would have no faith in or
think unworthy thought, he will seize, turn
to advantage, and make thousands OF dollars
therefrom.
He began life with little or no capital. but,
confident the remedy he had discovered for
shattered constitutions was the best in the
world, he had the pluck TO advertise. His
success tells the rest His sales amount now
to over three million bottles per year, and are
RAPIDLY inc easing. The late re-opening of his
palatial Drug Store, in New York, was one of
the grandest events of the season. Thousands
of persons attended to partake OF the sumptu-
Gus repast FURNISHED free upon the occasion,
and all were delighted.
Among the presents to those who came were
one thousand bottles Of Cologne distributed to
the ladies. This of itself shows that Helmbold
is a very scents ible man
To see him on the street or in the store, you
would imagine him the confidential clerk of
the proprietor, but when you come to talk
business, make plans and suggestions, you
will find that the seeming confidential clerk is
the head of the house, and what he does not
understand about business and about adver-
Using is hardly worth learning.
Sometime, when in New York, if you want
to see man who is making success of bust
ness, and making himself wealthy by using
printers ink, walk by his Drug Store drop in,
ask for HI. L. HEMBoLD, and tell him you
came out of curiosity to look at one of the
smallest business men of New York, who is at
the same time one of the greatest. If he
should look just little annoyed at the inter-
ruption, tell him that we sent you and in all
probability he will ask you to the soda FOUL
tain, order a glass of Tonic bid you call gain
and you will go on your way rejoicing, salts
fed that HEMBoLD, the millionaire Druggist
of New York, is about as good fellow as they
make.-E1change.
