kind OF goods his trade might want.
He was strong on quality and was fast
winning the best trade of the town for
his ads told the truth and as the say
ing is, "he delivered the goods" But
advertising is only promoter of bust
ness when used the right way, and the
truth of this was brought home to this
dealer. Some one advised him to stop
his newspaper advertising and in it's
place employ sandwich men and ad-
vertising wagons to parade the streets,
and he followed this fool advice and
the quality advertising he had been
able to obtain for his establishment
The dilapidated conveyances and no.
boes that parade the streets bearing
the inane sign that John Jones, sells
cheap" was too much for those who
had associated his store as business
house selling first class goods and not
a cheap John concern and they
stopped buying at the place. Advertis-
ing to pay must be done right. In
other words a second hand store or
junk shop can stand one kind of adj
vertising while on the other hand a
store catering to the best trade must
seek publicity that is in harmony with
it's standing as a business house if the
greatest success is to be won.

HUMPHREY FAVORS STEWART.
Contest Over Seattle Postmastership
Still Unsettled.

A Washington City dispatch says:
Representative Humphrey and Senator
Ankeny will have to agree before any
nomination for postmaster at Seattle
is sent to the senate. This is the posi-
tive announcement made at the post
Office department and at the White
House.
1t came as result Of the adoption
by p esident Roosevelt of the policy
of not appointing postmasters in cities
where there are contests and where the
representative may have the appoint
ment as part of his patronage, unless
the senator concerned agrees. In fair

Using and the advertiser who is al
ways at it, seldom is out with the
complaint that advertising doesn't pay.
In advertising the quoting of prices
is not everything. Many novices in
advertising are lead astray on the price
question. They think it is the only
thing to do. There are times when
prices can be quoted to advantage and
times when they cannot. For instance,
with quality buyers prices cut but lit
tie figure and as a rule quality buyers
are the most valuable customers. A
quality buyer is interested in the char
acter of the merchant, his help, his
store and the class of goods he car
ries. He's seeking to buy something
that will give him satisfaction, not an
article that can be bought at a low
price. He's a buyer who is on to the
fact that an article of value can never
be had for nothing"
In one of the smaller southern cities
one retailer built up a good business in
a short time by intelligent newspaper
advertising. In his ads he dwelt in
most part on the quality of his wares,
the care exercised in buying them and
his facilities for keeping in touch with
the best markets and selecting the

The suit to be commenced by At

cover taxes which it is claimed should
have been paid under the company's
special charter is one of great import
ance. From 1854 until 1894 the Mich

earnings Of the company, but upon It's

General Blair will charge that the re-
ports made by the Michigan Central

aggregate of the taxes which IL is
claimed should have been paid by this
company is about S3,S00,OOO

Prolonged and stentorian cheers foe

The announcement that Speaker

forth of the Republican party's
achievements and claims for continu-
