Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-12-23
Is Very Interesting.

Miss Ida M. Tarbell, although
still a young woman, has three
important historical volumes be-
sides "The True Story OF the
Standard Oil Company" standing
to her credit-a "Life of Lin
coln," a "Life of Napoleon, and
a "Life of Madame Roland. =
Miss Tarbell is a graduate OF Al
legheney College and took up the
writing of history as a speciality
after serving for some time as the
editor of the Chautauquan. She
began her studies in Paris, sup
porting herself by contributions
to the leading American maya
zines. The history of Napoleon,
which she prepared for Mcclure s
Magazine, is said to have been the
foundation of the success OF that
publication. 1t was Miss Tar
bells suggestion that the maya
zine should treat the trust ques-
ton concretely by choosing a def
mite industry as an example, and
the author was specially fitted for
writing the history of the Stand
ard Oil company, for she spent a
large part of her girlhood in the
oil regions, her family were all
closely connected with the oil in
dustry, and she knew intimately
all the big figures notable in the
discovery of oil and it's exploita-
ton. Miss Tarbell lives quietly
in New York in an apartment
near the historic Washington
square.-New York Sun.
This history of the Standard
Oil company is printed in two
handsome volumes, and is on sale
at McCoy's Book store.

In the purchase Of Christmas
gifts there is a tendency to ex-
travagance. The idea of pleasing
supersedes that of utility, and as
a result millions Of dollars are
expended for gifts that are mere
ornaments, or are more ornamen-
tai than useful, even if designed
for utility. This is but a natural
result, however, because OF the
inducements offered by shop-keep-
ers in this direction, they being
much better able to display the
ornamental than the useful. But
the Christmas gift should have
value measured by its utility. The
gift that is useful is brought into
service, and as often as it is used
reminds the recipient of the giver
and emphasizes the spirit that
actuated the giver both in giving
and selecting.
The S1eiohinp has ended.

Advertisements.

The advertisements are always
news. They represent the best
thought and the most attractive
bargains in the possession Of the
shopkeeper. They are his method
of getting into the homes. They
are the legitimate and logical
means of informing the people
what is going on in the stores, and
the advertising has been reduced
to such a science that the woman,
who is very often the buyer for
the family can select clothing,
jewelry, food, furniture-in fact,
everything needed in home
right from the advertisements,
with full knowledge OF, what each
article is and how it will suit her
needs. The columns of the Oil Re
view are at present well filled
with interesting advertising.
There is not a business of import
ance that is not represented, and
the firms are the most reliable in
Sistersville. You can rely on the
Oil Review advertising 1t means
just what it says, and a perusal
of the advertising means a saw
ing of money. And that is an Is
sue of greater Importance during
the holidays than at any other
time.
