Standing Advertisements,

Concerning what are known as standing
advertisements" in newspapers, which some
merchants say are useless, it has been re-
marked, and truly, that they command con-
fidence. The man who for years resides in
community and lives reputable life, even
though he be of moderate ability, will grow
in the confidence and esteem of his fellows.
On the same principle newspaper adyer-
tisement becomes familiar to the eyes of the
reader. II may not be carefully read every
day, still it makes the name and business Of
the man familiar, and its continued presence
in the columns of newspaper inspires con-
fdence in the ability of the advertiser. -
We recently published the above, but
again give place to it on our local page, and
commend it to the consideration of our ad-
vertising patrons, most of whom as we
know, consider standing advertisements
''money thrown away" Yet such adver-
tisements are universal among advertisers in
every live city and town. We wonder on
what grounds our advertisers have come to
the conclusion that they are wiser than all
the world beside.

In the various mutations of fashion, at
long intervals and for short time the tickle
goddess strikes on something rational and
in good taste. Our "fashion editor" thinks
this has actually occurred as respects the
present style of ladies dresses, far beyond
anything which has prevailed since his
youthful days. For many years past the
female form divine has been disguised in
the most outlandish fantastic and barbarous
toggery imaginable, SO that the present
change is quite delightful.

every one must be. with the fact that with
proper preparation San Marcos must be one

ties alone would ensure this. We hear and
hope it is true, that the present owners of
the water-power intend building larger and
better boat-something much needed, We
hope they will also take effectual means to
clear out the "bonnets" and other vegetable
matter which now mar the pleasure of boat

Napoleon GobbIed the Ducats.


That Napoleon has first class band is
just beginning to dawn upon the minds
OF our neighbors. A recent accidental
visit to the neighboring city OF Defiance,
brought out the highest praise in the press
Of that city. Last Thursday the boys went
to the band tournament at the Grange
Fair and further distinguished themselves
by winning the first prize. This they did
easily over the Liberty Center and Grand
Rapids bands, although all acquitted them
selves i'm creditable manner during the
contest. But afterwards, the defeated
bands did the usual and ever to be ex-
pected amount OF kicking, charging the
Napoleon band with having imported
players, and but for the fact of persons
being on the awarding committee who
could testify to the identity Of every indi-
vidual member Of the Napoleon band,
their justly earned prize money would
still be in the pockets of the honest grsng-
ers, who it must be admitted were little
10th to let any of their money come to
Napoleon. At least so it looks to the man
up a tree.

amount of counterfeit paper money
now in circulation is said to be less
than at any time in the last twenty
years. The most noted and skillful
engravers in the business have been
caught and put where they cannot do
any mischief for long period. The
amount of spurious coin in circulation
is, however, steadily increasing.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1884-10-02

A new internal machine in the
shape Of an advertising medium has been
placed in circulation. 1t is constructed
on the telephone principle, being COM
posed of small stick with groove at one
end over which a string passes to the end
ofwhich apasteboard box is suspended,
the groove around which the string passes
Is coated with resin. Now this simple in
stitution is placed in hands Of small boy
who goes wandering up and down the
earth swinging the suspended collar box
through space. The effect is nervo rem
ding In the extreme and an outraged pub,
lie should ferret out the inventor and
dash his Internal brains out against bass
wood tree, feed his flesh to the hungry cat
fish In the bottom of the Maumee ar q
hang his bones in a high place as
solemn warning to his condemnd yankee
posterity not to do so any more.
