CATCH PHRASES.
Their Utility In Advancing the In
terests of Business Men.

Their Utility In Advancing the In
terests of Business Men.
There are many instances of where a
people has been of great value in build
ing business. The best catch line is
one that fits your business best, and
the discoverer of such a line is apt to
be due more to inspiration than to ef-
fort. Pick the distinctive feature of
your stock or business methods and en-
deayor to express it in a breath.
If you can coin phrase that ex-
presses your central business idea or
emphasizes some feature that marks
your store alone. you can make good
use of it. 1t puts into condensed form
an idea that will get hold of people
and influence them if persistently pre-
business well lodged in the heads of
people is as good as score that do not
penetrate.
You can make people believe about
what you like If you go about it prop
erly. If man comes to you today and
tells you there will be a panic inside
of six months, you will pay no atten-
ton to him. If another comes tomor-
row with the same story. he will get
no attention, but you will idly wonder
what is getting into folks. The third
man you will argue the matter with.
The fourth will get more of hearing,
and you will begin to see signs of dis
aster yourself By the time the tenth
man has made the statement you will
be ready to tell folks the same story
yourself.
Probably you yourself could not be
influenced in such a manner, but the
common run of people are built that
way and will believe what they are
told often enough. That is why an
expressive catch phrase does good. 1t
comes to stand for you and your meth
DDS and of necessity is remembered
when goods in your line are wanted.
AS ordinarily used such a phrase is
of little value, because it is not proper
ly hammered into people Such line
should go on letter heads. billheads.
stationery, envelopes. should go into
every ad. or circular, should be seen
about the store and should appear on
labels. Put it on a sticker to attach to

says, people are going to respond to it.

Gained Forty Pounds in thirty days

For several months our younger
brother had been troubled with indi-
gestion. He tried several remedies but
got no benefit from them. We pur-
chased some of Chamberlain Stomach
and Liver Tablets and he commenced
taking them. Inside of thirty days he
had gained forty pounds in flesh. He
is now fully recovered. We have a
good trade on the Tablets. - HoLLEY

Goes to the Fuller Syndicate.

The second branch of the Baltimore City
Council, by a vote of Z to 5, last night
passed the ordinance providing for the sale
TO the Fuller syndicate of the city's hold
ings in the Western Maryland Railroad.
An amendment was concurred in by the
first branch, which provides that the pur-
chasers shall not be entitled to the sum Of
S2S1, 344.0 in the sinking funds and held in
trust for the railroad company. The mayor
has signified his intention of signing the
ordinance to-day. The bid of the Fuller
syndicate was s.. 751. 370.45. which sum covers
the obligations of the Western Maryland TO
the city of Baltimore. The three other bids,
which were rejected. were as follows: The
Varney syndicate. $40. 1OO. 600; the Reading
Company, $4,000, 600; the Hambleton-COok
syndicate, 80. 25O,O00. The ordinance makes
il incumbent upon the Fuller syndicate to
provide t~idewater terminals in this city for
the Western Maryland; TO extend the road
to the coal fields OF Western Maryland,
West Virginia or Pennsylvania, the work of
construction to begin within two years
after the contamination of the sale, and to
be completed within eight years, provided,
however, that the mayor and City Council
may, in their discretion, extend the time;
and that the syndicate shall, within the
same period of time. make a connection be-
tween the West Maryland Railroad and the
West Virginia Central & Pittsburg Rail-
way.

through weekly reports from the general

BUSY DAYS FOR TRADERS
BUSINESS ~ LARGE VOLUME On THE
MARKETS.

Arrivals Are More Liberal.

The week opens with an active trade on
tivity, for Monday, on Commission row. In
prices there were but few changes and
those to a lower range. Dry goods. with an
active trade, are strong in tone. but no
material advance has been made. Druggists
are very busy. selling large quantities of
paints. oils. turpentine and kindred articles.
Linseed oil continues steady at the quota
lions of some weeks past. The wholesale
grocers had quite a busy day. All staple
groceries rule steady, no changes having
been made for several days. The demand
for sugars is increasing as the season ad-
vances. Coffees and teas are firm, but I'M

fruits and canned goods are moving slower.

but are moving freely. New cabbage is be-
coming more abundant and lower prices
will follow. The produce market is in much
the same position as on Saturday. Poultry
is coming in more freely, but not so much
as TO affect prices. Choice butter is in good
request at prices quoted. but arrivals are
increasing daily and consequently it must
be choice to bring the highest quotation.
Eggs are coming in more freely, but owing
to the large demand, prices
are well held. Flour is firmer in tone, the
strong wheat market being the cause. Pro-
visions are active, despite the high prices
which prevail. as they are proportionately
lower than fresh meats. Other lines of
trade present no new features.

of the stock in the open market and by the
purchase of six million dollars worth Of
stock additional from Samuel Thomas.
Nothing to il as far as I'm concerned"

yesterday at 1914, without dividend. on the
strength of the rumOr. There are those
who question the consolidation of any line

and who assert that any effort to do so
would lead to extended litigation.

Consideration.

The Protestant Ministers Association
yesterday adopted resolutions thanking
Mayor Bookwalter for prohibiting Sunday
baseball and urging the merchants to
grant their employees a weekly half-hollday
during the heated term.
The Rev. Oscar c. Helming reported a
case in which a poor and sick man had
been given new strength and courage by
reading The Making of an American" by
Jacob Riis. This mans wife is now wash
ing clothing to support the family. They
have made friends and are in a fair way
toward getting none enough TO take the
husband TO m where, he believes,
he will regain his health.
This man is a laborer. He was born in
Denmark. Riis, too, is a Dane. For years
he has been the chief police reporter of the
New York Sun. He is a friend of President
Roosevelt. He has done more than n
other one man to reduce the tenement
house evil in New York. His THE Making
of an American" is the story of his career.
