opened, every "a hours The future sue
cess Of this company stands second to
none in the United States. With the
enormous consumption of copper at the

HERE is bit of sound sense regard.
ing the advertising question from the
Philadelphia Press: "One has but to
read the advertising columns of the
newspapers during the holiday season
to discover that there are dozens of
firms in business who think 1t worth |
while to make their existence known to
the public for only week or two dur
ing the whole year. At that time the |
news apers contain the announcement |
of houses which the great intelligent,
advertising reading public doesn't hear
of through those mediums from one
months end 10 another's. 1t is very |
strange. If advertising is good thing |
for mercantile establishments for two |
weeks in the year, IL ought to be good |
fifty-two 1t is one thing for a mer-
chant to make himself known to the |
people and another to keep himself |
known. The successful merchant is he |
who introduces himself to the public !
and then, by steady advertising. pre-
vents people from forgetting him."
THE attention of our readers ia called |
to neat pamphlet, setting forth the ad-
vantages of our Graded School, some
three thousand copies OF which have
just been put in circulation in this and
adjoining counties. 1t is lastly gotten
up, contains splendid Autograph of
the school building and grounds, and il
full OF information in regard 10 what our
school is prepared to do the for public.
1t explains fully the unusual advantages
offered here for young people who de.
sire to obtain a business education az
we'll as for those who wish to prepare
for college. and it also gives full informa-
tion about the training class to be or
ganized January 9th. for young leach
ers. Aside from an occasional error due
to oversight in reading the proof, the
pamphlet Is a crpditabIe production and
what it contains is full OF enterprise and
educational spirit and is well worth
careful reading. A noticeable feature of
1t is the advertising department which
seems TO be appreciated not only by our
local merchants, but by several promi-
nent firms in New York City and Boz
ton. When the public remember that
such firms pay from ten to twenty dol
lars page for this advertising, they
will feel that while it is a compliment
to our community and our school, 1t is
also source OF income to our taxpay-
ere, md they viii be compelled to be-
lieve also that BURNERS sometimes goes
hand in hand with school teaching.
