NOT THE ONE MOST SOLD, BUT THE ONE
MOST USED

The very large number of double. thread Ma
chimes exchanged for the WILCOX & GIBBS

range for quarterly clearing-out trade sales at
auction of these so.called "Lock-stitch" Ma
chimes. Country dealers buy at these auctions
and sell to their customers, who soon become
tired of their purchase and trade them again for
Wilcox Gibbs Machine. Double. thread Ma
chimes are thus becoming sort of circulating
medium to purchase

drew his revolver and shot his father dead.

The Advertising swindler.

The Chicago Tines, in an elaborate ar
tiCle on "swindling," has this to say con-
cerning the advertising swindler:
He Coaxcs unwary merchants into Civ
ing him his "ad," by hundred spurious
lodges. He is going 10 have fabulous
number of hotel registers manufactured,
or lot Of directories made TO be hung in
rural postotfices and railway depots; or is
about TO issue an advertising sheet for
"gratuitous circulation" devoted to the
Lord knows what; or Is painter, and
beng about to sally forth to bedaub the
rocks and hills Of beautiful land with his
impudent announcements, he wheedes
the uadesWan into letting his name be as.
sociate with this vilest Of advertising
swindles. Or he Is going to ornament
telegraph poles in the same manner; or to
r1H up vehicle, containing notices, to be
driven about the streets; or has frames for
your card in divers public places; or, In
short, wishes to delraud, by some specious
game, the advertiser out OF his hard earned
money. He has a thousand or more
methods Of perpetrating his frauds, from
proposals TO distigure street lamps and
board fences to painting your announce
ment on the front Of the country pulpit.
But the basis Of all his propositions is ar
rant cheating. Advertising ia one Of the
most blessed bOons vouChsafed 10 the
commercial world; but the columns Of a
newspaper arc the only medium through
which the desired end of the advertiser
car be attained.
