Advertising solicitors are often met
with the argument that the Individual
or firm name he sOlicits Is 40 well
known that advertising Ia useless. We
have known a number Of implement
and vehicle manufacturers who argue
this way. II Is true that probably ev-
cry dealer Of any Importance In the
United States had heard of their house.
We have seen younger competitors, BY
Judiclous advertising and hustling. pass
them In the race for business. Then
these concerns that werc too well
known to advertise would awaken to
tho situation and their advertisements
would again appear; but while they
were sleeping their widc-a wake com.
petitors must necessarily have made
inrOads Into their business. which. with
fair treatment ana buslncss.ll meth.

The Hilton. Hughes & Co.'S failure y
Q striking example of an immense
house, probably known all over tho
country. but prcsuming on their name
they reduced their advertising and paid
little attention to 1t. Their competitions
kept their names prominently before
the masses. and told what they had to
offer. and gradually trade began to drift
from the larger house to those enter.
prising firms who let the people know
that they were after their trade.
Let the largest house In any line stop

short space Of time q larger business
will be built up by somebody who

der water have to bear pressure Of
several tons, the weight being that Of

erts Its power from all sides alike. The
reason that they are able to bear this

When the pressure Is removed they die

Great damage to Roads and Property.

Great damage to Roads and Property.
The heavy weather reported for some dav.
from the north side of the island has been
much more severe chan was supposed on the
south side. 1t began on Tuesday tho 18th
inst, at Port Antonio and ended in the Par.
ish of Hanover, between the night of Thurs.
day the goth and Friday the Dist. The HIGH
winds were not the most marked feature Of
the storm; it was the heaviness Of the rain
fall. When all accounts have been put to-
gether 1t appears to have beon the heaviest
rainfall, in a large portion of the district
above referred to, that has faIlau for ten
years, The maximum force Of the rain storm
seems to have been reached at PALMYRA Estate
in st. James.
A number OF raIn-gauges registered o~ver..I4
inches of rain in "a hours and then overflow

land under water, houses destroyed. On the
roads alone the damage viii not be repaired
under an expenditure Of less than 60 600

roads. On Cinnamon Hill Estate the damaoa
to the property is not less than G2OO. On
some properties it is proportionaiely greater
At some places the extent of the damage ia
seen III the large gangs of people who are en-.
gagged in the work of repairing roads, fences.

The most remarkable circumstance connect
ed with the storm is the time of its occurrence
That such an extensive and heavy rainfall
should occur IN the month of February is alb.
normal to a most extraordinary degree Mr..

February is in the island as a whole dryness.

Of rain over a region covering about one half
