The Sandwich Comes Higher.

Chicago, (SpeciaD.-For the first time
in many years in this city cash outlay
Of 10 cents is necessary for the acquire
uent of one ham sandwich. The price
heretofore has been five cents, but the
restaurants have put UP the valuation be-
cause of the prices they are compelled
to pay for meat; Roast beet sandwiches
have advanced five points, from 10 to IS
cents. 1t is estimated that 100000 ham
sandwiches are consumed in Chicago
every day, and the increased cost to the
public will thereby be $4,000 on the ham
nronosition alone.

an Embarrassing FIRM.
Manager Martin has Been Highly
Successful in business here,

Possibly, no firm has done so well in
so short a time as j. L. Martin & Co.,
dealers in stoves, tnware and house
furnishing goods. This firm is the
successor Of w. Harrison, who con-
Quoted reliable business in these
lines for many years. The purchase
was made in December, 1900, less than
two years ago, and yet in that short
time Mr.. j. L. Martin, the manager,
has built up the business until his firm
leads in all the lines he handles. That
he has liberal share of the patronage
Of the people Of Clarksburg and the
surrounding sections, there eau be no
question, since his sales are among
the largest in that line of business.
Mr.. Martin has GENIAL personality,
superior business qualifications, tact
for making and retaining friends and
a wide acquaintanceship not only in
this county but also throughout the
state. His strict attention to busi-
ness has been literally rewarded. His
deep interest in the welfare Of the
people, among whom he has cast his
lot and with whom he has taken up
his permanent residence, has brought
him in close touch with the public and
made him host Of warm friends. His
success has been phenomenal, though
he has been handicapped by difficulties
brought about by few who were sup
posed to be his closest friends.
Personally, the editor OF the Tele-
gram takes pleasure in directing at
tention to the splendid conduct Of tine
business of this very enterprising firm
and commendS Mr.. Martin to the pub
lie as a gentleman worthy Of their
patronage and trust. In our several
transactions with him we have found
tia pleasure anda profit to deal with
him and our experience is but that Of
the numbers who buy OF him, He
handles all the leading articles In his
lines, and has an up.to-date store, His
motto is, "treat my customers right
and they will come again." Those
coming to the fair will do well to visit
his store and examine his line OF
goods.
