Frank Siddalls, the greatest Philadelphia
advertiser, is reported to have lately re.
marked, as fact worthy of comment, that
he had never had personal application for
patronage from the Newspaper Advertising
Bureau of Mr.. Geo. p. Rowell & Co. Of New
York. The reason for this may be found,
not in the fact that Messrs. Rowell & Co. do
not want business or are unwilling to drum
for it, but they find cheaper and more eff
cacious way of securing patronage is to keep
their names before the public by using the
advertising columns of the newspapers. Do
ing this they attract those advertisers who
wish their services, and avoid annoying or
wasting the time of those who have not yet
arrived at that conclusion. The newspaper
is the most persistent and at the same time
the best hammered of all advertising can
vassers.

paid farmers has been three cents for twenty
six ounces. The quality of the corn packed
was never better than this wear.

munifcent University endowment,

than double the Girard College en-

culture on the Pacific Coast giving,
unless the plans fatally miscarry
that new land more equal relation

a dream, but enthusiasm oyer the
picture is as ,excusable as it is ire
