The man who advertises is the man
Tho gets the dough.
A business that isn't worth adver-
Using isn't worth wasting time over.
You never know how much your
business can amount to until you adj
vertise and find out.
The public has short memory.
That's the reason that business to
continue profitable must be advertised
continuously.
No big business has ever iheen built
up without publicity givep it by
iudicous advertising, and in this era
of advertising it is more than ever i'm
portant that business expecting sue
cess should be literally advertised.
After advertising has built up a
hourishing business the work OF the

The report made by the census Blu
reau on the subject of the cheese, but
ter and condensed milk factories in
the country, will be of special interest
to the people of Wisconsin. No state
in the union has made so marvellous
an advance in the agricultural indus
try during the past ten years as has
Wisconsin, and the census returns
show that the State now leads in the
number of factories in the dairy inr
dustry, her total being 2,O18, and a
tremendous increase since 1890, when
there were only 905 such factories in
the state. New York is next on the
list with !. 9O8 factories. The greater
number of factories in Wisconsin
shows the wide distribution Of the
business among the people OF the
state. In New York there is more cap
ital invested in these factories and the
total annual production of such dairy
products in that state amounts to
only few million dollars worth more
than that OF Wisconsin; but in the
total value of such factory dairy pro-
ducts Wisconsin has rank second
only to New York.
The total value of produce in Wis
consin is quoted at 500, 12O,147 an
nualIy, or nearly double that OF lii
nois. and 100000 worth more than
Iowa. The report gives Wisconsin 5
capital in these factories at 81, 900, 900
employing LOO hands and paying an
nual wages to the amount of nearly
81, 100000. The five states leading
in the factory dairy business OF the
eountry-New York, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Illinois and neutrality-suspicious.
| $50, 900, 900 worth of the total Of $3.50,
O0O, 900 worth produced in the United
States. The produce in production
made by Wisconsin, amounting to an
increase of 1856 per cent. is pronounced
by the census officials to be the great
est made by any state in this this line

MOONS "STRL HUNT" FAILS
He is No LongeE" "On Top"
Fails to Secure a Sin
gle Delegate.

Although nothing has been SSH jin
the press of this Assembly District,
regarding the candidacy of ~. b.
Moon for the nomination for member
OF Assembly on the Republican ticket,
it is now known that for some time
past, Mr.. Moon, aided by two state
Game Wardens residing IL this coun-
ty and the friends of Governor LaFol-
lette in Villas and Oneida counties,
have been making still hunt for del
egates who would favor the nominal
ton of Mr.. Moon.
At the County Convention held in
Minocqua to-day for the election of
delegates to the Assembly District
convention to be held at Hurley We'd
nesday, Mr.. Moon failed to secure a
single delegate although he received
the support of three Stalwart dele
gates from Eagle River, his home
town.
The report of the Eagle River eeau-
Gus which appeared in the columsns of
The Milwaukee Free Press this morn
ing, Mr.. Moon admits was made by
him ''for the purpose of helping him
in state politics. =
Mr. Moon did not state what kind
of help he was looking for, but he has
often demonstrated to the politicians
of Villas County, both Democrat and
Republican, that, if opportunity af-
fords, he viii help himself. 1t is very
seldom that Mr.. Moon and his paper,
The Review agree in politics.

The fire Friday demonstrated the

alarm is turned in. For the safety of
our citizens and the whole city, let
more fire alarm boxes be Rat up.

building and Walt Mericle and Max

I OF INTEREST IN NORFOLK.
Williams Interests Control Valuable
Properties There.
Especial Dispatch to The Times


NORFOLK, VA, April "a onsidera-
BILE interest is felt here in the reported
sale Of the Williams syndicate street
railway properties in Richmond, and the
declared purpose of that interest to re-
tire from tho business of operating street
railways. This is interesting here be-
cause the Williams syndicate has, per-
haps, one million dollars invested in such
properties at Norfolk. e
It is conjectured that the ". ]. Payne
interests, which control the street rail-
way lines at Newport News. and the line
from Newport News to Norfolk via Sew
ellis point, may be bidders for the Will
Jams properties here. Nothing, hcOever,
is known here of Mr.. Williams plans
by any one who will divulge his know
ledge.
Norfolk regards the investment of a
million or so dollars here as only an or
binary incident and the change of owner
ship of a street railway line, which it is
known will continue to be operated, is
not considered momentous. Norfolk is
only languidly interested in the present
flutterz in street railways. In such lines.
there have been invested in Norfolk coun-
ty within three years. about five million
dollars.
