night, then put into u steamer, or
something that they can drain, then
wipe each cucumber dry, and stir the

NEWSPAPER FOR RESULTS,
Minnesota Merchant Says Advertising
Is Necessary to Success.

Newspaper advertising is the first
requisite for mercantile success.
That in brief, is the opinion of John
Gately, who is at the head of the
Gately Supply company of Duluth,
Mimi, and Of nearly fifty ether retail
stores located in some of the best
business towns in Michigan. Illinois
and Minnesota.
While visiting his store at Ishper-
ing recently Mr.. Gately was inter-
viewed at length by the Peninsula
Record. and he not only declared him
self unqualifiedly in favor Of advertls-
ing, but expressed decided prefer
ence for the columns of the newspa-
per Among other things, he said:
"Judicious advertising is as essen
tai to business succes as postage
stamp is to a letter one drops in a
rostoffice. Some people plod along
with business and fail to use the news
paper columns to tell the people what
they have to sell or about the bargains
they have to offer. These people can
never be be called successful busi.
ness men in any community.
"There is advertising and advertis-
ing, and above all other advertising
comes that which is read in the news
paper. While one cannot always tell
