The advertising man of well known
New York clothing house says: "We
were the first to use the sails of ves-
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 prin-
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 40,0 of the watches
"But nothing ever pays us like the or
dinary newspaper advertising. The fact
is there has come to be in this city
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-Sos 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.

Regular Publications Best.

No one takes up regular publication
without the expectation of finding some
thing of interest. The simple act of
turning the pages is as positive an ex-
ample of expectation as is the opening
of n closet if one is in search of coat
Hence an announcement in a regular
publication has an advantage over any
other form of business solicitation-that
of meeting the sought for eye at time
that it is in mood for such greeting.-

Never BE Commonplace.

Bring your feet with you and have
them fitted to pair of our common
sense Shoes" is the way Pittsburg
dealer advertises. 1t is a good phrase
and one which attracts attention. The
man who succeeds in advertising in such
a way that people read his advertise
ment is the one who draws trade to his
store as sure as a magnet draws needle
to itself Study up quaint, pithy or
witty phrases to head your advertise
ments, and be not too modest in the
space they occupy.-Brockton Shoe.

Fulfill Every Promise.

The merchant who desires the conf
dence and custom of intelligent people
should never make q promise that he
does not fulfill, or hold out, either by
express statement or inference, any in
ducements that are not fully substan-
tiated by the facts. There is no endur-
ing success where confidence is lacking
ON the part of customers. Any success
not founded on square and liberal deal
ing is sure to be short lived

Save money and Suffering.

One feature of the thousands Of tes-
timonials that have been given in be-
half of S. S. S. is remarkable. In
numbers OF instances it is related that
a great deal of time and money have
been spent in vain effort to secure re-
lief from disease in the usual way. A
knowledge of the virtues Of Swift's
Specific would have saved the time
and the money, to say nothing Of the
prevention Of the suffering. The
great blood purifier is for sale by drug
gists everywhere, and the S. S. S. COM
pany in Atlanta will send to any ad-
dress their Treatise on Blood and
Skin Diseases free, and pamphlet
containing few of the thousands of
testimonials they have received from
those who have experienced the bene-
fits of this wonderful medicine

Use Common Sense.

That people should use the same prac-

is necessary to transact any other busi-

proposition Yet there are gentlemen
who are extremely good business men

grievous errors in this direction. Knox

DRY DOCK nUILDrNG.
Ballard Likely to Secure Large Ship.
building Works.

gentleman who has watched the progress of
Ballard for a number Of years, and who has also
kept q careful eye on the doings OF the board of
engineers who were recently here to inspect the
proposed route OF the ship canal from Salmon
bay to Lake Washington, said yesterday that the
latest and most feasible plan regarding the
canal meant great deal for Ballard Said he:
at will not be Lake Washington which will
derive the most benefit from the canal, a. has
been generally supposed but Salmon bay, aud
Ballard In particular. There IL where the NAM
moth dry docks win be located and the bulk Of
the shipping business carried on The natural
location of Ballard makes it the principal point
of the canal.
1.-The placing Of locks at the mouth of the bay
win retain sufficient water to float any vessel on
the Sound. The city will not be required TO 20
to any expense in the way of improving the
harbor 40 that will be done in connection with
the building of the canal. The locks at the
mouth Of the bay will make II fresh water
basin, which will be such depth as required.
The locks from Lake Washington will regulate
this.
'sone matter has been carefully looked into.
and that il the arrangement of locks between
Samamish and Lake Washington. The fall be-
tween the latter lake and Ballard is something
like ten feet This would mean the entire drain
age OF Lake Samamish and the flooding of part
Of Ballard unless the waters were regulated by
locks. You can readily see that Salmon bay can
be raised or lowered, just AZ required. As said
before this will mean the establishment of dry
docks at Ballard, for that will be the principal
place on the line"
Even as the bay 10 at present it is quite ship
building center. Not a week passes that some
steamer does not put into the bay for repairs or
place OF safety from rough weather The shell.
tered position of the bay adapts it to the loca-
tion OF the dry docks, which will be built ut
some point along the canal. Not only will the
dry docks be built, but coal bunkers will be
erected where vessels can be loaded without
danger of being pounded to pieces as they are in
Smiths cove.
With the ship canal in view, and the present
railroads entering the city, il is no wonder Bal.
lard il being selected as a manufacturing site
The city enjoys more natural advantages in this
line than any other point on the sound Wise
men predict great future for the salmon bay

II Is in spirit of compassion rather than crit
icism that the production of the Volunteer" BY
George T. Timer at the Armory last night should
be mentioned In the first place Mr.. Ulmer and
his company, with the exception Of few local
actors. are stranded here. In the second place
the company has had = great many difficulties to
contend with, and, although q great deal of
money was spent in fitting up Armory hall,
arrangements were not fully completed last
night and everything went against the presen-
tation of the play. The second and third acts Of
the play are norel and striking, the balloon a.
cension being quite realistic. Miss Van Tas-
sells skirt dancing was very good. Tonight the
company will be prepared to stage the play
properly. The Sons OF Veterans win sell tickets
on the street today and they should be pur-
chased, If for no other reason than to help the
company, which has been playing in hard luck
