Skipped!

Prof. E. B. Linde skipped for parts un-
known on last Monday evening leaving his
wife and child and number of unpaid bills
about town. He also took two clarionets be-
longing to the band boys valued at $4,000.
He came to Holgate some four or five years
ago as a music teacher and made precari-
GUS living in that profession until he won the
affection and married one of the best girls Of
the town, who has since supported him BY
teaching in our public schools. Her lot cast
with him has been hard one and his fight
is good riddance to her.
Dishonest to the last degree, he leaves q
debt with all of whom he could obtain credit.
He has for the past year or so acted as agent
for Whitney and Currier, of Toledo, and has
sold many musical instruments for them and
rumor has it that the immediate cause of his
fight was to avoid exposure for the misap-
preparation Of their funds. He was an excel
lent musician and could have made good
living for himself and family, but the flowing
bowl and horror of work drove him to the
wall. 1t is quite possible that he has gone to
Germany, his birthplace. -Holgdte Times.

John wanamaker on Advertising.

John Wanamaker, Philadelphia, saws:
II never in my life used such q thing
as poster or dodger or hand bill. Ny
plan for fifteen years has been to buy so
much space in newspaper and fill it
up with what / wanted. / would not
give an advertisement in newspaper
of 400 circulation for 5000 dodgers or
posters. If wanted to sell cheap
jewelry or run lottery scheme, might
use posters, but / would not insult q
decent reading public with handbills.
The class of people who read such
things are poor material to look to sup
port in mercantile affairs. How do I
reach newspapers? I do it in this man
ner: [ never deal with advertising
agents. They always get the profit the
advertiser should have. L deal direct
with the publisher. 1 say to him,
How long will you let me run column
of matter through your paper for 500
or $500, as the case may be?' / let him
do the figuring, and if | think he is not
trying to gouge more than his share I
give him the copy. | lay aside the
profits on particular line of goods for
advertising purposes. The first year /
laid aside $3, 900; last year I laid aside
and spent $4,000. have done better
this year and shall increase the sum as
the profits warrant it. I owe my sue
cess to the newspapers, and to them /
shall freely give certain profit of my
yearly business.
