Wanamaker's Opinion,

John Wanamaker of Philadelphia was
recently interviewed by reporter on a
subject of which he is well qualified 10
speak. He was asked if it pays to ad-
vertise when times are hard, "Wnen
the times are hard and people are not
buying" replied Mr.. Wanamaker, "is
the very time that advertising should be
the heaviest. You want to get the peo-
pie in to see what you have to sell, and
you must advertise TO do that. When
the times are good they come of their
own accord. But believe in advertis-
ing all the time. have tired all kinds
Of advertising and have spent a great
deal OF money in posters ard bills, but |
gave that up long ago and think news
paper advertising is by far the best. "
Mr.. Wanamaker was asked if he could
see any immediate results from such ad-
vertislng, and replied that he could, in
stancing the mornings when his store in
New York or Philadelphia has advertis.
ed d job lot of bicycles or other things
There is invariably long line of peo.
pie waiting outside for the doors to open.
Advertising Is one of the elements OF
business success" the great merchant
declared, "but it is not the chief. The
chief element is getting what the people
want, keeping your eyes on the parts oi
the world whzre things are made. and
giving the people the best and newesr
things along the lines of the,r real OF
farcied needs"

What they think of it.

A Democratic majority of 800 is a dis
grace to the Republicans of this county
and we hope it may never occur again
-Kittanning Free Press.
The nominee for Judge in this county
will not be machine made, or if he
should be, the people will letter 90
Gallaher, again. .-Freeport Journal.
James s. Gallaher was elected Sher
riff OF Armstrong county by the people
last Tuesday This is not the first time
n Democratic Sheriff has been elected
In an off year, but it certainly Is re-
Jnarkable when it is considered that the
Republican majority in this county
was almost three thousand. The de
feat of Mr. Fred Wick, the Republican
candidate, cannot be attributed to him
personally. He was defeated, in plain
language, simply because the people,
and especially the thinking Republicans
disapproved Of the unfair methods en-
ployedby the KittanniDg Ring to secure
his nomination. The Republicans OF
this county have endured the actions Of
this Ring until patience has ceased to
be virtue.
Eight years ago this self same Ring
forced the nomination for Judge in This
county, and in the fall the people
vetoed the Rings act.
And the people are not done yet
They propose to cany the war farther.
Next Spring If either Of the men who
sat in the last legislature ask fol- a
nomination, they will be defeated.
If not defeated at the nomination
they will be defeated in the fall
