Niles & EinsOn,s Marble Works

A little more than year ago the
above named gentlemen conceived the
idea of starting a marble works in
Walla Walla. The result of their enter
prise has fully compensated them for
coming. Their reputation for producing
fine work is not confined within the
limits of Walla Walla, but extends to the
surrounding towns in this territory,
Idaho and Eastern Oregon. One cannot
visit town in this part of the country
without finding specimens of their work
manship. Since rebuilding their works,
which were destroyed by fire in Febru-
airy last, they have shipped fifty tons of
completed work to cities and towns
throughout the country named above
and they have expended for labor alone
$4,000. The firm manufactures all kinds
of marble and granite work of the finest
character, and at most reasonable prices.
-Four men are kept constantly at work
and their books show orders which will
keep them busy for a long time to come.
Mr.. Niles is the business manager and
is kept almost constantly on the road;
he is a rustler with all that the term
implies. We have yet to hear of the
first order of work which he has obtained
as having been unsatisfactory.

Philosophy of Advertising.

At recent meeting Of the Illinois
editorial association, Manager Scott, of
the Chicago Herald, presented the fol-
lowing pertinent thoughts with reference
to advertising, which are of much inter
est to merchant and publisher. He
said: "In presenting a handsome sheet
geographically one should remember
the advertisers as well as the readers.
A man likes to have an advertisement
pleasing to look upon, catching to the
eye, and indicative generally of the adj
vertiser. This class of patrons are SO
important to success that they should
receive encouragement. Impress them
with the desirability of keeping their
wares before the public. A man never
realizes the full benefits of advertising
until he has placed the matter before
the same people fifty or hundred times.
The first ad. is good, but the one hun
dredth is worth more than 500 times as
much as the first. Some one has said
that the
First time a man looks at an advertise
ment he does not see it.
The. second time he does not notice it.
The third time he is dimly conscious
of its presence.
The fourth time he family remembers
seeing something of the kind before.
The fifth time he half reads it.
The sixth time he turns his nose up
at it.
The seventh time he throws the
paper down impatiently.
The eighth time he calculates,
There's that COMPOUNDED thing again.
The ninth time he wonders if there is
anything in it.
The tenth time he thinks it might
possibly suit somebody olse's case.
The eleventh time he thinks he will
ask his neighbor if he has tried it, OIL
knows anything about it.
The twelfth time he wonders If the
advertiser can make it pay.
The thirteenth time he rather thinks
it must be good thing.
The fourteenth time he happens tc
think that it is just what he wants.
The fifteenth time he resolves to tt,
it as soon as he is able.
The sixteenth time he examines the
address carefully and makes note of it
The seventeenth time he is tantalize'
to think he can hardly afford it.
The eighteenth time he sees painfully

The tariff tax on a pair of pants for a
