Advertising should never be sus-
pended or decreased when business
is dull. 1t is directly opposed to
the successful practice Of the art.
Judicious advertising not only
averts bad seasons, but the greatest
success has been achieved by
shrewd dealers who continue to let
the public know what they have to
sell no matter what the condition
Of trade or the money market may
be.
The nickle-in- the-slot machines,
which have been doing quite an ex-
tensive business in Baraga for the
past week, have been picked up
and shipped to more profitable
place for business than Bar
ega has proven to be. Some
genius solved the problem of
busting" them by boring small
augur hole through the casing
and inserting a wire or other
small Instrument through the
aperture, and so manipulate the
wheel as to stop it at will. 1t so
happened that the machine stopped
where it discharges dollar each
turn, and it turned 50 many times
that it went broke.
