A MERCHANTS IDEAS.
The Man Who Does Not Advertise
 Knows Not What He Loses.

Sometimes a merchant gets it into his head. or has it in his head, that as long as things seemingly come his way he can rest contented and need not advertise, nor even worry his brains about telling the people about what he has for them to buy, writes George B. Forest, of Indianapolis ind, to the Advertising World, of Columbus. o. Everybody knows me. knows that keep store and that can sell them when they want to buy. the merchant reasons. You cant make 'em buy only what they want. and when they want & thing they'll come for it" and so il goes.
 The merchant who thinks that way is all wrong. know he is wrong. be- cause have facts and failures and mercantile history by the ton to prove that he is wrong.
 Just such thinking as this is what keeps goods on the shelf.
 Just such thinking as this is what makes some places Of business appear like the chapels Of grave yards
 Just such thinking as this is what runs up the number Of failures.
 Just such thinking as this is what makes good openings for competitors.
 Just such thinking as this is what makes people flock to wide-awake marts to purchase their wares.
 Just such thinking as this is what has built up the big mail order houses.
 And could keep on with my "justs' indefinitely.
 How a merchant in this day and age can believe that it does no good to adevrtise is a wonder to many.
 Even with a section all to ones self, to neglect to advertise IS to lose many sales.
 When merchants once get the fact thoroughly planted in their minds that the purpose Of advertising is not only to tell people where to buy that which they alerady want, but to ere ate Q desire for those things which can be bought, then We may look for Ia change in the management Of many a business.

EMPLOYEES SHARE PROFITS
WITH THEIR EMPLOYERS
446 MAIN STREET.

Fall River. Mass, Dec. 24-The en-
poyes of the Bourne Mills just over
the Rhode Island line in Tiverton,
received today their 25th consecutive
semi-annual profit sharing dividend.
and the announcement that the direc-
tors had voted to continue the plan
another year. They were also advised
that by a special vote Of the directors
the limit Of possible participation of
profits by the employees had been doub-
led so that now the amount may not
be mot less than per cent nor more
than 20 PERCENT Of the amount paid to
the stock holders"
Since the inception Of the profit shar-
ing plan in 1889 the dividends have av-
eraged 324 per cent semi-annualy.
When payment was started it was hop
ed that the dividends would equal
savings bank rates. It appears that
the dividends paid 10 the employees
have averaged more than so per cent
greater than savings bank rates.

COMPANY VOLUNTARILY
INCREASES WAGES

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 25.-The Union
Traction Company, which controls every
street car line in this city and employs
upwards of 5000 men. posted a notice in
each of its barns this morning to the
effect that the company has decided to
increase the wages Of motormen and con-
ductors from IS to 10 cents an hour the
increase to go into effect on jan ].
This Is the result of much agitation
which has been going on among the EN-
ployes for some time for an increase in
wages. Several months ago demands
were made on the company for an IN
crease in pay to 20 cents an hour, 10
hours instead of u hours a day. and for
the adjustment Of several other differ
ences between the men and the com
pany. The demands were refused. and
meeting was held several days ago, and a
vote taken on the question of inaugural
ing a strike which resulted in complete
victory for the men who We're against
suspending work.
The increase in wages means an addi-
tional expenditure by the company Of
more than a quarter Of million Of dol
lars Eighteen months ago the company
voluntarily granted an Increase OF one
and half cents an hour.
