One of the most attractive Christmas
displays about town in point of drawing
power is that in the window of G. E.
Marshall's store, where a couple of me-
chanical dolls go through the motions of
playing piano and of rocking in chair.
The musician thumps away in a most
life-like manner, at intervals turning
her head to the audience outside the win
dow, as if looking for approval of her
efforts. a music box concealed in the
piano adds to the realism of the show.
The mechanism of the rocking doll is so
ceverly concealed as to defy detection,
and Miss Dolly rocks herself in very
good time to her big sisters music. The
motive power of the display is show in
itself, being model steam engine at the
back of the window. The entire exhibit
including the steam engine, was wholly
the work of that inventive genius, VIM.
Jackson, the artist, who has put it to-
gether in odd moments of leisure from
his regular business. The delight of the
children, who gather about the window
in large numbers, is the very best testi-
monial to the maker and exhibitor.

Keeping constntly at it is the key to
successful advertising. You can not
squirt much and win. A business career
that goes by fits and starts will not pay
so we'll in the long run as business
that follows course mapped out for it
and keeps increasing its advertising as
the business demands it until the max.
imum is reached. There is a maximum
for small business beyond which it is
not economy or policy to go. Have you
advertised from policy because some one
else did, or because you meant to get
something out of it? This will bear
thinking over.-Brookline Chronicle.
