THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
A Washington FIRMS Remarkable
Business Growth.

Hecht & Co.. the clothing kings, at
515 Seventh Street, have demonstrated
that the secret of success in business is
advertising. BY a 1udieious outlay Of
money for this purpose they have. since
they began business fin Washington,
twenty-seven months ago, steadily in
creased their sales with the satisfactory
result that now they find it necessary 10
enlarge their already immense store TO
accommodate their constantly increasing
patronage. /
While the secret of success is advertis-
ing, still there is secret in advertising,
and that is, one OF the clothier kings
says: I'VE have never advertised false
ly. Make no misrepresentation and
the public knows that what We offer in
our ad. we have, and irlcan be purchased
at the price named. That's the secret in
a nut SHE'LL
This is only another way of saying that
honesty is the best policy" as the con-
slant increase IN Hecht 6S Co 5 business
so plainly evidences. When the firm
started business at their present location
IN the fve-story building at No. SIS Sew
enth Street, the members never imagined
that it would grow to such tremendous
proportions as TO necessitate extensions
equally as large as the original plant.
But this is so. Their liberal policy Of
selling mems, women's and children $
clothing at reduced rates and allowing
the purchasers their own time to pay
for them on the very easiest of terms
demonstrates that their efforts were ap-
precated, and trade Increased cores
pondingly. In fact, trade increased so
rapidly that there was not sufficient
room in the old building to store the stock
necessary to meet the demands of their
customers. There was only one thing
10 be done-get a larger storehouse or
add 10 the one already occupied.
Quick to meet an emergency, however,
the firm perceived this one, and with
characteristic enterprise secured the
building occupied by John Ridden as a
furniture store for several years, and
will annex it to their present building.
The Ridden building is an exact counter
part of No. 515, and was built al the
same time, consequently Hecht & Co Will
double their selling space. The party
wall on every floor will be removed the
front will be entirely changed, new pas
sage and freight lifts will be added and a
number of novel modern features intro
duced. 1t is also the intention 10 open
new departments.
The Hechts started business in a small
store in Baltimore, on South Broadway,
over a quarter of a century ago. Today
they have five stores in Baltimore, in
Guiding the largest clothing and furnish
ing store and the largest wholesale car
pet and mating business.

THE STOCK MARKET DULL
Unimportant Dealings for Foreign
Account on Change.
Trading Showed Rather Increasing
Animation Tow ard the
s-5z Close:

New York, June 20.-Tradlng was by no
means active today, and the trade was
poorly distributed, The slight and ir-
regular changes in the London market
for American stocks were not followed
by extensive dealings for foreign ac-
count in this market, the balance of the
arbitrage business being small. Com
mission houses were also rather inactive,
though apparently the early drive at
the market was successful in causing
the execution of stop loss orders in
several stocks.
The support which subsequently ap-
peared in the market was chiefly of a
professional character, and was taken
TO mean at least a temporary reverse
of position on the part OF large specu-
lative interests.
The active features of the market were
Sugar Refining. American Tobacco, Peo-
pies Gas, the granger shares. and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit
The granger shares were moderately
active. Burlington and Quincy being the
strong feature on talk of an increase
in the dividend rate at the next declara-
ton period. The market closed steady,
with the trading showing rather increas-
ed animation.

THE INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
Aspirants for Positions State
Ticket Active.

Indianapolis. June 20-Seventeen aspi-
rants for positions on the Democratic
State ticket opened headquarters at the
hotels here today and their runners have
been busy coming in and leaving the city
on missions in their interest. 1t is con-
ceded that there will be several hard
struggles in the convention and already
there is talk of combinations to prevent
them.
The opponents of Justice Hackney, of
the Supreme Court who is being fought
by the radical free silver element of
Shelby County. are here trying to make
a combination which will include Judge
Willard New.
Several Of the leaders got together to-
day and drafted the financial plank of
the platform 1t declares the partys adj
herence to the doctrines enunciated at
Chicago in 1885, being almost identical
with the plank adopted at that time. 1t
is, however. subject 10 revision, but it is
not likely that it will be turned down.

did not stop many stocks Their work

in the afternoon and a better tone
Should good news be received from Santi-

conceded that 1t would be followed by
a sharp advance. 1t is expected by the
traders very soon.
The Government loan is expected TO be

THE WHEAT MARKET WEAK

Chicago. June 2O.-Foreign cables We're

The sudden stoppage of the forcing pro-
cess which was a concomitant of the
Letter wheat operations is reflected in
a further reduction in shipments of east
bound freight from Chicago during the
week ending on Saturday last. Ton
mage has now fallen to the comparative

weeks in April. However problematical
the influence on this traffic of the sup
posed restoration of rates on June 13. the
decreased wheat movement is shown
clearly in the lessened business of the
lake lines as well. The tonnage of grain
is not there to move. Farmers are now
busy at home with their crops. The re-
turn of cereal prices TO normal figures
has checked their desire to market their
remaining stores and receipts latest
reported at primary points are smaller
than for many weeks.
Similarly. the movement in transit
shows marked decline. Grain arrivals
at Chicago last week were only 1900 900
bushels the smallest receipts in ten
weeks, and compare with an average of
more than 7,000000 bushels weekly in May
and 100000 bushels in the week ending
