OSE Of the wealthieat business men of
Cincinnati, Mr.. Burkbardt, recently
made an address before the Commercial
Club, Of that city, and said, ia the course
of his rcmarhs; II have cast my minds
tyo hurriedly back over my experience
in Cincinnati, and am fully convinced
that in fifteen years, with the advertising
l hsys done, have pushed my business
to q standing that it wouli have taken
thirty years to reach without advertising.
In truth, it il doubtful il could have at
all attained tine results have without
tae Sia Of newspapers. Certainly the
great newspapers ars the cheapest NSdi-
UNI for making your trade known TO the
greatest number OF psorlo. Printed cir.
culars may possibly reach thousand
persons whose names you hnow, yonl
oil customers. Yurr announcement in
leading journal will reach hundred
thousand whom you meyer heard of.
New dealers coming into the held will
SEQ your namo and business and know
whore 10 find you. Your standing ad-
vertiscmcnt is standing notification to
buyers that ycu are alive and there. II
is perpetual letter Of introduction for
your travelling salesman. He has only
to mention your name for the country
merchant to say: oh, yes, that's tue
Diamond Ham man, isn't it?' or That's

twice as apt to buy as if your firm name
was one he had nsver heard of, or, hav-
ing heard of,thought you were long since
dead"

votion for his former friend is cooled. |
n is alleged that be made four recommend
I ations for office, neither of which th
e President adopted, and these failure
d wounded Q pride that is quick in resent
ment. The President. on his side, is no
without cause for grievance, accordin,
u to the report of his most intimate friends
The Presidents first desire was TO do al

where he had made large reputation
e He tried faithfully to reflect him, ant
when no became President, he put tn
first place in the Cabinet at his disposal
Subsequently when vacancy occurred
: on the Supreme bench, he offered it {,
him generously, and in a way that ough
to have touched the tenderest chords O
friendship. But the response vas no
