ments per thousand at as low price
as does the newspaper. The value of
q newspaper. therefore, consists in its
circulation and in its ability to set
before certain speci fed number of
readers the facts which the merchant
desires to convey. The successful
public and il he deIudes himself with
the notion that he only wants the best
trade he will be pretty sure to end in
bankruptcy or starvation. The depart
ment stores illustrate this. They all
advertise largely and appeal to the
mass of purchasers. They have thus
been enabled to hold their trade in
spite of all the war that has been
made on them. ANY merchant, how
ever, who will follow this line will be
as successful as they. 1t is only be-
cause the small merchant neglected
to use the newspaper that the depart
ment store took his customers and
ultimately drove him out of business.
In Denver the department stores
q uarreled with the newspapers and
refused to advertise. The small mer-
chant came into the field, advertised
literally and took the trade of the de-
partment stores, and came very near
swapping them. These principles
underlie all business, and Frank II.
Cooper's career illustrates it. II he
had not used the newspapers he
would have done no better in Peoria
than he did in Toledo, and would now
be running a small store on corner,
abundantlv satisfied if at the end Of
each year he had been able to make
| both ends meet.

CLEWS SAID SO.

We have just received one of Henry
Clews' famous weekly financial let
tiers, from which we abstract the first
paragraph, as follows:
1.-The stock market is under the
control of very conflicting influences.
Owing to developments, such as the
strike, and the corn crop failure,
which were entirely beyon human
foresight, the bull movement received
a set pack from which it has not yet
fairly recovered. Prices scared tc
skyrocket attitudes in May and June
and the recessions which have since
followed have not brought securities
down to near the bargain level. Not
a few favored stocks are still being
quoted at very high figures from the
investment point of view"

HOW ADVERTISING BUILT A BUsI-
NESS


Siegel, Cooper & Co. constituteprob-
ably the best known business firm in its
line in the country. The success with
which it has built up its mammoth
business is an illustration of the bene-
fits that come from liberal and judici-
Gus newspaper advertising. Twenty
years ago Frank H. Cooper, who is
the business manager of the firm.
landed in the city of Peoria from To-
ledo, Ohio, where he had conducted a
small store. Up to that time he had
never done any advertising and was
ignorant of its possibilities. The
Peoria Star in commenting upon his
subsequent success relates how he
began to use half pages and then full
pages in the Peoria paper. The re-
suit surprised him and after few
years he made money SO rapidly that
he concluded that he would. to use
his own term, ego where the lions
hght.'' He succeeded in interesting
Nelson Morris and ultimately j.
B. Greenhut, of Peoria, and going
to Chicago he started TO put
in practice those theories and
principles that he had demonstrated
had led to success in Peoria For a
time he had an uphill fight, but no
more than was incident to the new
position and the magnitude of his
operation. The same display of news
paper space, the same nervous and
forcible style, the sane ability in this
line that he had learned how to use
in Peoria, brought him success in the
metropolis, and the firm of Siegel,
e. hon
hold word throughout the northwest
solely by the aid of the newspapers.
Their New York house followed and
the rules Peoria and Chicago had
laid down proved eqgally profitable
in New York City. They put at the
head of the house Ben j. Greenhut,
who had been conversant with the
history of the enterprise from it's in
ception. The Cleveland store which
it was recently announced he was
about to establish, is q side issue.
Mr.. Cooper has long had in mind the
establishment of such q store in Lon
don, England. He is close friend
of Sir Thomas Upton, as are also the
Greenhuts, and Upton has often
urged on the firm of Siegel, Cooper &
Co. the advisability of establishing a
branch in the worlds metropolis.
The moral of this story of mercan-
tile success is obvious. Advertising
now is as necessary to the success OF
a business as is favorable location,
good light. attractive windows, atten-
tive and we'll trained clerks and a
careful ST stem of accounts. All these
are simply accessories after the fact.
They are useful only when the custo-
mer is in the store. The necessary
thing to be considered is to induce
the customer &c enter the place, and
this can be done only by showing
him the advantages which the store
offers. Now of all means for doing
this the newspaper is the best, the
cheapest aud the most certain. 1t is
best because it carries the merchants
announcement and places it in
the hands OF the reader. While
the circular gets no farther than
the front yard or the dust bin, the
newspaper enters the house and is
read in the parlor. the library, the
dining room and the kitchen. 1t is
the cheapest. because no other means
can distribute so many announce.
