some of the mystery attached TO his re-
markable falling off during the seCoi

WHO think no more of stealing a good
idea tf.au they do OF taking a cocktail.
And the worst of it is that honest advcr-
t,SCrS seem TO have little or no protection

thief nor does he mind the oCCas siOnal in

The common mistake of nOvices in adver-
tising lies in their expectation of immediate
and tangible returns from their first outlay
i'll advertising space. Except in certain
lines OF business. like that. for instance. of
the retail dry goods trade, which announces
special sales to take place at specified
times. such instantaneous results are I'M
possble-or 1t least highly improbable.
And this stubborn fact has proved a
stumbling block to many a wOuld-5e ad
vertiSer. Because he failed TO sell a bill
of goods on the day following the appear
anCc OF his initial announcements, he has
concluded forsooth, that advertising is a
delusion ana a snare which wants to be let
alone.
Ana he lets II alone-to his future sorrow.
Now it should be understood by the faint
hearted that, generally speaking, the first
object in advertising is TO familiariZe the
public with your name and business, or the
name of the commodity you have for sale.
And to achieve this your advertising can
not be intermittent, but must be kept
pretty steadily before the public eye. A
little thought upon the subject should con-
vince you that constant advertising must
make you known-so well kno wn that your
name on your goods will occur to people
when they wish to buy. You should not
therefore, lose courage if, at the start,
your advertisements fail to crowd your
store with new customers or to increase
your mail with new orders. You can
lead the public, but you can't drive it; you
must patiently and persistently keep your
self in view and if your goods are desirab ble
goods you need have no fear OF losing the
money that has so reluctantly gone into the
Golfers of the publishers and other dealers
in space.
The best advertising in the world will
not sell poor goods twice to the same
customer.

FORTUNE ron JERSEYS.
George Vanderbilt Has bought the
Hawley Herd for $500, 900.

Hawley Herd FOR S2UO,UDU.
New York, March 15.-Gecrgc Van
dcrbt has invested heavily in highly bred
Jersey cattle for his 10000 acre farm
Bntmore, near Asheviilc, n. c., having
Just purchased a herd OF 125S the total
amount paid therefor being S@GO,Hto
Both Mr.. Vanderbilt and the seller say that
the herd Is a bargain az that price.
The herd ranks third in value and repu-
tation in the United States and wa formerly
the property Of Frank W Ha wiley OF PITTS
ford farm near Rochester. On account Of
a recent decision Of the New York court of
appeals confirming the right OF the state
board Of health TO confiScatc and slaughter
animals suspected OF having tuberculosis,
regardless of their value, and upon the un-
supported Judgment Of sma!!-salaried III
SDectors after mere casual examination,
Mr.. Ha wiley decided 10 60 on; OF the buSi-
ness of raising fine cattle.
The court had also denied the existence
OF an arstoCracy i'll The bovine world. 1t
held that u cow was COW and only COW;
that one COW was as good as another. in
asmuch as one can do as much damage 10y
spreading the dread disease as another; and
further that the law did not authorize
the pa yment Of Il larger sum for JcrSe y,
with a pedigree running back 10 william
the Conqucrur. Than for the COW with the
crumpled horn that is seen switching its
nurr-covered tail by the side OF dusty
higu way and capable OF giving two quarts
of pale blue milk daily.
The fixed price for 4 CONDEMNED cow is
S35, and that was the price Mr.. Hawlcy
received pe1 head for a herd Of World 5
Fair prize winners. that cost him S3O,SUu.
Among this lot were the famous Catherine
of PitiSfOrd, winner Oi the butter test at
the Worlds Far. and considered I he most
valuable Jersey COW in the world. Mr..
liza wiley paid So $50 for her when she was
d calf, and the state paid him $50 Tor her
when she was slaughtered.
This experience decided Mr. lIaw!ey.
He met Mr.. Vanderbilt and asked for an
offer for his herd. The price wa 5 agr' cable
