No Medium Like the Newspaper.

No Medium Like the Newspaper.
The advertising man of a well known
New York clothing house says: 1--WE
were the first to use the sails OF YES
sells as an advertising medium. Then
we got up the alphabet puzzle, and
gave away 100000 puzzles while the
craze lasted. Afterward we invented
the Waterbury watch idea. We had to
do something, because three of our prln-
cipal competitors had failed, and their
stocks were being sold for next to
nothing by assignees; so we decided to
give Waterbury watch with every
twelve dollars worth of goods pur-
chased. We advertised the watches
wound and SET To wind them fast
enough we had to rig upa little machine
worked like a sewing machine that
would do the winding, and we Kept
several boys at work winding and setting
them. Before we quit we had given
away 10000 of the watches.
"But nothing ever pays us like the Or
binary newspaper advertising. The fact
is there has come to be in this city q
class of advertisement readers just as
there is of news readers. They read the
advertisements every day, and OF course
the man who wants to attract them has
to get up an advertisement that will do
it. The day of standing advertisements
in the paper, Go to So-and-So's for cloth
ing or Go to This-and- That's for shoes,
has passed, just as the day for painting
signs on rocks and fences or on the sails
of boats has passed. You must have
something interesting and fresh in every
advertisement, and it will be read.

WE DO ALL KINDS.

Lest some of the readers of the
RECORD may get the impression
that we confne ourselves strictly
to what is known as high class
printing, we wish to say that we
do all kinds of commercial work
cards, billheads, pamphlets, cata-
1ogues, periodicals, bronze and
color work, ruling, numbering,
perforating, blank-book work, etc.
The theory upon which we are
working is that whatever is worth
doing at all is worth doing well, :"
and that if the attainment of the
end in viewis properly planned for
in the beginning, it is just as easy to
produce good as inferior results.
Our way of doing is to employ
persons with heads as we'll as
hands, and provide them with the
best of tools, machinery and ma
terials, devoting our own energy
and the experience of more than
thirteen years in the business to
the attainment of the same end
the production Of a superior quality
of printing at fair rates. Any
business man who takes pride in
having his Office stationery and
other printing present neat, tasty,
attractive appearance should make
the experiment of placing trial
order on our hands. We "study
to please" and guarantee satisfac-

Early Closing.

The effort now being made by
the employees of drygoods houses
in Passaic to secure early closing
is commendable. We hope it will
be successful. Most people have
far too little leisure. Hours of
labor are in general too protracted,
at least in mercantile lines. Es-
pecially prejudicial to health are
the close confinement and long
business hours of indoor statesmen
and ladies. We welcome and en-
courage any movement looking to
the relief of the strain of business
pursuits, and which shall increase
the hours of leisure and their op-
portunities for mental culture and
the delights of outdoor exercise.

Guess You'd Better Read This.

you may have thought. 1t en-

The True Religions Lie.

Care not for mans excited speech
Thou shalt not thus the secret reach.
But if thy spirit long for peace.
Go seek the calm OF Natures face:
The starry sky, the leahess trees,
The hush of night, the soothing breeze;
Gray February's tender gloom;
Or sunny Spnng times joyous bloom;--
Let these, thy books, thy friends, thy
heart,
Acquaintance with thy God impart.
Lock'd deep, the secret S in thy breast
In prayerful silence find thy rest.

What Struck You?

Did you read the RECORD last
week? Of course you did; but
what struck you most forcibly1 Was
it not the fact that it had been en-
larged and that it contained nearly
eight columns more than any reg
ular issue heretofore? When a
really able business man goes to
the wall you almost invariably
find that outside ventures are at
the bottom of the trouble. He
has either been dabbling, or dip
ping, diving or delving. Count
over the circle of traders you know.
How many who have divided in
terests make an unequivocal sue
cess of any? Then what rot to hold
that simply because a man is alert
and wordy-because he starts
Cheek and Style with capitals
he can step in and run your bus
mess and your neighbours, and
keep all sorts of wheels turning
at their best for as many others as
will pay toll 1t can't be done;
and the only sure road to success
lies in minding your own business
and giving ityour undivided atten-
tion and concentrating all your
force on whatever branch of trade
you undertake. What if you do
have to begin at the foot of the
ladder. That is lust where Won
ought to begin if you ever expect
to accomplish anything in this
world, more particularly if you are
dependent on your own individual
efforts. This is what has made
the RECORD what it is to-day. Stop
at our office and compare the REC
ORD of to-day with what It was nine
months ago They are SO different
that nothing but the title would
make you think that they were
ever acquainted with each other.
People are more convinced than
ever that the RECORD is the most
reliable paper in this section. 1t
IS clean, newsy, and bright; and
our advertising columns show what
is thought of it as an advertising
medium. You hear people talking
OF the RECORD wherever you go.

Obituary.
william window.

Last Friday morning thrilled the
nation with the announcement of
the death of William Window,
Secretary of the United States
Treasury. The death of the dis
tinguished statesman and fnancier
took place under the saddest con-
c1evable circumstances, being at
the banquet of the New York
Board of Trade, and less than ff-
teen minutes after the delivery of
a brilliant and eloquent address on
matters connected with commerce
and the currency.
Death has ended distinguished
career.

When you want to know about
any business house outside of the
large cities write to the local news
paper. If the firm is of any account
you will find its advertisement in
the home paper. A man to be
popular abroad must be respected
at home. And a man who does not
advertise his business among his
ne1ghbors ought not to receive
much attention anywhere.

THE TALLEST YET.
Il Tower Nearly a Quarter of
Mile High.


CHICAGO, October 16.-The Stars
and Stripes, il was decided to-day,
are to wave 1920 feet above ground
during the Worlds Fair from an
American tower shat will out Eiffel
Paris. The builder is to be Andrew
Carnegie. of Pittsburg. Over 2o,-
900 people will be accommodated
In the tower at one time, and two
OF the many elevators are to start
from the ground and run more than
1000 feet up without stop, di-
rectly to the lookout landing. The
width of the tower at the founda-
ton level will be 440 feet in each
direction. The Keystone Bridge
Company, of Pittsburg, one OF Car
negle's concerns, has agreed to con-
struct the metal portion of the
the tower and have it completed
February l, 1898. The actual cost
Of the tower is estimated at 81, 5OO,-
900, 100000 less than the Eiffel
tower, the difference being in the
greater simplicity of the design
and the use of standard and mer-
charitable sizes of steel
There are to be three landings.
The first, 200 feet from the ground,
will accommodate at one time on
the colonnade 1000 or 5000 people.
Inside the coIonnade is u space
sufficient to build four hotels or
restaurants, beside numerous
booths for the sale of different
articles. The second IS designed
as promenade in daytime and 81
dancing hall in the evening, and
will accommodate 5000 people. The
upper landing, 1000 feet from the
ground, will accommodate 1900 to
1900 people, and above this there
will be Offices for the Signal Ser
vice, scientific investigation, etc.
Above this is to be circular cleo
trio railway, carrying electric lights
at night and signals by day. Above
this will be lighthouse, to be pro-
vided with the most powerful re-
