Cloth manufacturers have learned
to mix cotton and wool SO thoroughly
that mere feeling will not detect the
presence Of cotton. The only sure
method i'll such cases is to boil a
piece OF the goods in a solution of
caustic potash, which will eat up the
wool and leave the vegetable fl Der
intact.

In an interview in Tuesdays
Chicago Record, John Wanamaker,
the merchant prince Of the East, and
who was Postmaster-General under
President Harrison, says this concern
ing advertising:
THE advertising of a firm accord
ing To his theory, IS the expression of
their business policy, and is their
most important feature, for without
the aid or the facilities offered by the
newspapers, Mr.. Wanamaker, says
their business could not be conducted.
Therefore, he thinks, il should be in
spired ana controlled by the head of
the flrm. Advertising is the source
of John Wanamaker's success, and
without il he declared that he and his
partner might as well shut up shop.
He declined TO tell me how much
money they expended annually for
that purpose, but admitted that the
firm was credited with investing be-
tween $500, 900 ana $400. 900 a year in
space in the Philadelphia newspapers
The very soul of advertising, said
Mr.. Wanamaker, is this: 1t never
pays TO misrepresent, or deceive, or
..xaggerate. If the public is fooled
once by firm it loses confidence, and
is always suspicious afterward. In
case a mistake is made, which is
sometimes unavoidable, the public is
always entitled TO an ample apology
and explanation
