FOUR IMPORT
ANT FACTORS

The newspaper advertisement,
the window display, the DISPOSE
ton of a merchants wares and
the treatment of customers are the
four factors in business life which
if they form harmonious whole,
comprise an almost irresistible
force. New customers form an adj
vance opinion of business estab-
lishment by the advertisement at
tracing them, and if on reaching
it they are greeted by a pleasing
window display, their good opin-
ion is strengthened. 1t is further
enhanced by a tidy and orderly
appearance of the interior, with
goods exhibited on counters and
shelves in a manner calculated to
invite closer inspection and lead
ing very frequently to purchases
Now comes the critical moment
the proper handling of the Gus
toner. An ill-considered word or
gesture of impotence often sui
fees to turn away the would-be
patron, the gaining Of whose bust
ness would have been assured but
for the slight error. The most
studious attention to all OF the
four factors given, which are of
vital Importance in the merchants
career for success, are therefore
indispensable.

RFMARKHBLE LETTER
TO THE BANKERS

der which we have been operat-
ing for many years past. The
principal difference is that the
new statute expresses in clear
and unequivocal terms, while
there is enough ambiguity in the
old one to befog an ignorant as
SCISSOR and afford an avenue OF es-
cape for the banker with tlexi-
BILE conscience. The statute
which governs these matters at
the present time is section GA,
Chapter 20, Code of West Vir-
ginia. I have been frequently
asked to construe it, and have
been compelled to say that in my
Judgment it requires the banker
to return for taxation the total
amount of his capital stock, sur
plus and undivided profits, after
deducting therefrom his real es-
tate, which must be otherwise
assessed, and U. S. bonds which
he may hold as a legitimate in,
vestment of the concern, and
which have not been purchased
temporarily for the purpose OF
evading taxation. l have always
felt that the present statute IL en-
forced was unfair to the banker
because it assesses his property
at it's market value, while Other
property is not assessed at any
thing near that figure.
My conclusion, then, is that the
new statutes will bring relief tt
the conscientious banker because
his property will not be appraised
any higher than it is now, anc
with all other property appraised
at it's face value, the rate of tax
alton will be very greatly reduced
and in this way he will Obtain
relief. Very respectfully,
NJ. A. KENDALL,
Commissioner of Banking.

To the Banks of West Virginia ::
Gentlemen: - Having received
frequent requests for information
concerning the character OF our
recent tax legislation and the eff
feet it will have on our banking
institutions, | have taken con>Ii,
cradle pains to investigate the
matter and have thought it wise
to put my response in this shape

the entire question of bank taxa
ton. I will not quote the section
because it covers two pages, and
these Acts have been widely dis
tributed and can be easily seen.
I note, however, that the conclud'
ing phrase of the section reads
as follows: "This section does not
take effect until January l, 1908. y
This also applies to Section SO OF
the same chapter. From this it
will be seen that there is no i'm
mediate cause for alarm. If, after
mature consideration, it should be
found that the Act will work an
Injustice to the banking frater,

before it ever takes effect, for
have found no disposition on the
part of our Legislature to treat
our bankers unfairly. But care

INDUSTRIOUS BODY
'-o OF STATESMEN

The 14th of October (tomor'
row. should always be remember
ed bv the citizens Of this com
munity for the fact that on that
day a body of distinguished
statesmen visited them. If the Wis.
TORS were Absolutely devoid OF
political belief their otherwise
greatness should prove amply suf-
ficient to have the public turn
ont en- masse and extend to them
welcome. If conditions will
permit of it they should be greet
ed in such manner that when
they discuss among themselves The
touring trip of the State they
will remember with pleasure The
reception accorded at this place.
Scarcely ever has such a dis
tinguished body Of men assem-
bled, whether it be in private life,
committee room or public recep-
ton. The following men consti-
tute the galaxy of orators who
will discuss the issues OF the day
to the citizens of Sistersville and
the State:
Hon. Henry G. Davis, Vice
Presidential candidate.
Hon. Joseph w. Bailey, United
States Senator from Texas.
Hon. John w. Daniel, United
States Senator from Virginia.
Hon. Isador Raynor, United
States Senator from Maryland.
Hon. William Pinckney Whyte
of Maryland.
Hon. C. Wood Daley of West
Virginia.
Hon. John H. Holt of West Vir-
ginia.
A mere glance at these names
and the citizen will recognize IN
them men who have shaped the
course of human and political
events in the country for the
past decade as we'll as young men
who are now in the ascendancy.
Hon. Henry G. Davis.
Henry G. Davis, the candidate
for Vice President of the United
States, is one of the first citizens
of the State. He has probably
done more for the development OF
the State than any other man who
has exercised the rights OF fran
chise within it's borders. He has
been honored previous to this by
his party, and now in the after
noon of his life he is seeking this
office as a fitting climax to his
brilliant career. Every one
should come 10 hear him, because
he is a West Virginian and
grand old man.

Hon. Joseph w. Bailey.

Hon. Joseph w. Bailey is one
of the younger United States
Senators. He first distinguished
himself as a member of Congress,
where as one of the leaders OF
the minority he paved the way for
his election to the upper house.
His record since has been so
clean and he is so typical OF the
West that every one should at
tend the meeting and hear and
see this man upon whom wait still
higher honors.
Hon. John w. Daniel.
Hon. John w. Daniel of Vir-
ginia, needs no laudation. His life
has been so linked with the recent
history of Virginia that his works
are cited in text books. He is
considered the silver-tongued ora
tor of the State, and his person
atty is of so pleasing kind that
no one can afford to miss hearing
him.
Hon. Isador Raynor.
Hon. Isador Raynor of Mary
land, first became famous by his
able defense of Admiral Schley
when the administration dared to
smirch his fair name by accuSa-
tions Of a faIse nature. Schley
was a favorite son OF Maryland
and Raynor was a citizen Of the

Adopting Regular System.

Reynoldsville has an excellent water
system for fighting fire and has as good
volunteer fire company as there is in
this section of the country, but the boys
are handicapped every time they fight
fire by outsiders interfering by crowd
ing around, yelling and giving orders.
But that will soon be stopped. Hope
Fire Co. will ask council to appoint
twelve citizens to act as special police
men at time of fire, and rope will be
stretched around certain distance
from where firemen are working and
the crowd will be kept back, 1t may
be necessary some time to arrest two or
three persons before the people become
accustomed to the new system here.
The firemen will have signals for turn
ing on and off water at plugs.
