The fact that the explosion of gaso-

A WONDERFUL BUSINESS.

Is the Lord az Thomas Advertis-
ing Agency, the Head of Which
Retired Feb. L.
Possibly there is no line of industry
in the United States that has grown
in such proportion in recent years as
that of general advertising, which in
cludes publicity in newspapers and
magazines and outdoor display adver-
Using, and through It's tremendous
force the entire basis of modern mer-
chandising has been revolutionized.
The Chicago papers of the current
week devote much space and time to
the wonderful growth of the adver-
tising business as a whole, and that of
Lord & Thomas in particular, owing
to the retirement of Mr.. D. M. Lord
the senior member of the firm, who
leaves active business life with a rich
competence.
The business of Lord & Thomas has
been one of the most aggressive and
progressive of its kind in the country,
having in recent years been under the
active management of Mr.. A L.
Thomas, whose judgment on advertis-
ing matters is considered as authori-
tative by the vast body of publicity
users. Mr.. Thomas has succeeded Mr..
Lord to the presidency and will con-
tinue at the head of the firm.
Mr.. c. r. Erwin, the new vice presi-
dent has been connected with the COM
pany for twenty years and is there
fore a veteran in the field; associated
with him and Mr.. Thomas is Mr.. A. D.
Lasker, the secretary and treasurer.
To give some idea to the public of
the growth of advertising as a whole.
it might be stated that in two years
the business of Lord e. Thomas alone
has increased $1,000,000 in the billing.
and in the one month of January in
1904 this house has booked $75O, 900 in
advertising contracts from the follow
ing concerns whose names are house
hold words in the United States: An
heuser-Busch Brewing Association, ST.
Louis; Siegel, Cooper Company, New
York; Woolson Spice Company Oion
Coffee, Toledo, o.; Hamilton Brown
Shoe Company, st. Louis, Mo: Ster-
ling Remedy Company, (Cascarets)

Magazine, St. Louis, Mo-. Armour &
Co, Chicago; Michigan Stove Co., De-
troit and Chicago; Union Pacific Rail-
road Company, Omaha; Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway. Chi
cago; Rock Island Railroad System.
Thirty-f1ve years of wide experience
in handling the publicity of a large
proportion of Americas most success
full advertisers have fitted Lord &,
Thomas to give most judicious and
profitable service to enterprising bust
ness firms in every line
The main offices of Lord & Thomas
are in the Trude Building, Chicago
and its Eastern branch is in the

York.

Central Railway station at Columbus,
and was the contractor for half of the
buildings at Fort Screven. He has also
erected several very handsome resi-
dences in Savannah. including the Nc
Neill residence on Whitaker and Hunt

All of Mr.. Leonard's estimates are
based on local mechanics and labor
ers, and he says about the only money
that will be spent away from home

officials have moved into their new
| quarters. Mr.. Leonard says he can
tear down the exchange building and
remove the rubbish within two weeks
time.

caused by calling for a second tender

twenty days.

will only be few feet deeper than the
present foundation OF the City Ex-
change building.

GRAND JURY WILL ACT
ON DlCKERS0N CASE.
Meeting Has Been Called for Thurs
day Afternoon.

day Afternoon.
A meeting of the grand jury has
been called for tomorrow afternoon,
and among the most important cases
that will be considered will be that of
Benjamin Dickerson, charged with
having murdered his wife. The coro-
ner's jury which investigated the
death OF Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson re-
turned verdict charging the husband
with the crime
The evidence against Dickerson,
while not direct, was considered strong
enough to support the theory that his
wife came to her death from injuries
received at his hands. There was no
testimony before the coroner's jury to
show that he had struck her with any
thing more than a small switch drawn
from brush broom, although the
autopsy conducted by DR.. Keller de-
yeloped that the woman had been
struck a blow of sufficient force to
break one of her ribs.
The three younger children of Mr..
and Mrs. Dickerson are now being
cared for at the Bethesda Home.

PATRIARCH SWINDLER
FLEECEO OLD NEGRO.
Took His Cash and Gave Him
Check for $3.50 to Hold.

Check for $3.50 to Hold.
William Dolly, an old negro from
screven county. who recently came to
headquarters yesterday to the effect
that he had been swindled out of $25.
1t was all the money he had in the
world. and presented in evidence a
check to support his story of how cas-
lily he fell to the plausible spiel of
smooth old CRATER.
Dolly was at the river boat landing
at the foot Of Abercorn street when
he met an old man with gray hair
and mustache. The old man used the
gold brick brace game to get on terms
OF confidence with the simple old dar-
key, telling him he had known him
for years, but that he supposed he
was not remembered, as he had chang
ed much.
After talking for a while the strange
old man made it known to the darkey
that he was possessed of certain
check for $3.50 which he wanted to get
cashed, but that the banks were closed
and he would have to wait until the
day following. He dwelt long on his
misfortune in getting into the city too
late to get the check cashed.
He was in much need of a small adj
vance on the fat draft, and he soon
learned that the old darkey had $25
boarded about his person. He gave
him the rush act, telling the one of
ante bellum days to give him the $25
for a few minutes until he could step
into the bank and make a guarantee
on his check, telling the innocent one
to hold the check. The bank was not
a bank, as it afterwards developed, but
was a saloon wan an exit in the rear,
through which the wise old fellow
made his escape.
The check was drawn on the Nor
folk National Bank and was made
payable to w. H. Morgan and signed
by ]. H. Bigedrice & Co. on the back
it was Endorsed by w. H. Morgan.
