Famous Manufacturer Tells How He
Won Great Success.
w. L. Douglas, one of the best known
shoe manufacturers in America, and own
er of the great factory at Brock ton,
Mass, which bears his name, has re-
Gently been making his annual trip
across the territory between the Atlantic
ocean and the Rockies. During the
tour which lasted several weeks, he Wis
tied his sixty-two- retail stores In the
leading cities. Mr. Douglas is a re-
markable example Of a seIf-made man
He started into the business when a very
young man, and with a comparatively
small capital Now his yearly business
amounts to more than ss.5o0.0oe.
Il attribute my great success" said
Mr.. Douglas. ito strenuously adhering
to my original plans and overlooking no
opportunity to press my business. The
main thing In the line Of success is to
keep yourself and your goods constantly
before the public. This is best done by
means Of advertising In general, and
particularly newspaper advertising. OF
course, 1t is necessary. first of all, to
produce an article which. when purchas-
ed, will please the buyer.
1.-THE handspring of success. however, I
have found to be honesty Honest goods
and honest dealing has always been
favorite saying with me. You cannot
fool the public with inferior shoes any
more than you can with a poor article
Of food. There is never a whit of good
gotten by palming off worthless shoes
upon the people,. 4g--. ..@~s
ut is better to put good material into
your stock and be satisfied with a small
profit, because it is an invariable rule IN
the shoe business that when customer
has been fooled once he will never give
q dealer the opportunity to fool him
again.
;'It is essential to establish a standard
and stick to it through thick and thin.
At times the opportunity has been pre-
scented to me to deViate from nay fixed
rule, and could have done go with profit
at the time. In every instance l found
that gained in the long run by main
tanning my standard and adhering to my
original plans. Always make IL a point
in life, first to find good thing. then
stick to it."-tISxtract from interview in

so as to American goods and inventions,

the line Of tools those of American make
are given the preference, tools bearing
the trademark of well known manufac-
tuners Of the United States being quite
common. They are found ON sale1i in all

Mart N Hit, the rental agent, whose
departure from the city was announced
yesterday, is said to be short about $l2,-
900 to SIS, coo to his clients. This shortage
generally represents money that came

Yesterday the st. Paul Fire and. Marine
Insurance company, to which Hit owes
$276 that came into his hands as agent,
levied an attachment on Hits office
fixtures and house furniture, the only
visible property he had.
The explanation of Hits trouble is that
his business methods were very loose,
and his accounts so poorly kept that he
never knew exactly where he stood. In
this way he spent some of the fnoney of
clients, and when he discovered 1t. at
tempted to retrieve by specializing with
the money of other clients in wheat. In
stead of retrieving he lost. Further
ventures of the same kind brought like
results until he was IN so far there was
