Why

You knew Just
where to look for the
real bargains in a
town or city?
Is it guessworkP
Well, hardly.
They will always
be found with those
traders who are live
hustling advertisers.
The man who Adver-
tIseS, handles goods
to several times the
amount of the one
who sits down and
waits for people to
hunt him up.
Theman who Adver-
tlSeS, is constantly on
the lookout for real
bargains to offer his
customers.
The man who Adver-
tises, knows] heH can
dispose of these bar
gains, even though
the quantity is large;
therefore he does not
hesitate to buy a
large lot if the price
is right.

SOME HORSE NOTES.

The racing season at the east is now
ct its very height and the trotters, as
we'll as the runners, are beginning to
make fast time. Just now the trotting
tracks are beginning to adopt the rum
ming horse methods of sweepstake
Faces, instead OF compelling the owners
20 trot for their own money, as was the
case under the old overnight purse sye
tom. with 10 per cent entrance fees.
The result has been great increase Of
winnings, but no proportionate increase
OF trottip9 values. either in sales or
service ices. In the meantime there
has been no great falling off in the value
al gallopers. The sales of General Jack
sons yehrings showed an average OF
over $4,000 for. the get of Iroquois, while
at Mr.. Hageih's Gale those of Salvador
went over $4,000, Maxim Gan untried sire
60 far ae America goes) over $500. and
Sir Modred over $1,000. Milton Young's
six different etallions.
In March, 1890, while was in Aus
tralia, L. ]. Rose sold 96 head of horses
in New York for something over $780,
600. There was an awful lot of fine
blood in the lot and it ia today the un-
paralleled sale of the world, 60 far as
trotters are concerned. That same lot
of horses today, good ae they undeEiably
were, would not bring over 100000 in
New York or any where else. Is this be-
