STONE BALLAST.
Has Decreased the Number OF Persons

at has never appeared yet as an item

statistics relating to railroads. said a rail-

This Is the fourth of the series of articles

pers. a careful study of the advertisements
IN our daily papers, based on the known
principle of the house advertising, will en-
abe YOU to determine whether or not it is
10 your advantage to respond. It should
be remembered that at this time of the
year all large stores are making prepara-
tons to buy and receive their Fall Stock
so when you see clearance notice, which
is usually styled end-of-the-season sale,
there is no reason why the greatest imagi-
nable bargains should not be offered At
best, all simmer goods have been reduced
to a very few pieces, and the only re-
course left is to clear them out with no
regard to value whatever. Smart store

of goods a a loss. make the prices so ex-
tremely small they almost bewildered YOU
that's what they call good advertising.
Thoroughly reliable Establishments would
rather give you fifty dollars than have
you think that they had one penny
through unfair advantage of YOU Their
way of figuring is that it takes years to
establish business by gaining the public's
confidence. and they will not abuse what
is so difficult to obtain. The right store
realizes that pleased customer is the
foundation Of their Success, and they will
accordingly make good any defects, varia-
ton, or otherwise unsatisfactory purchase.
The Meyer Store, corner Of Foushee and
Broad Streets, is an establishment of this
character, and. by coincidence they are
announcing on the outside sheet Of this pa
