PERSISTENT ADVERTISING.

A good story was told al a recent
bankers convention in Pittsburg to IL
lustrate the results which can be
achieved by persistent advertising. In
Pittsburg rolling mill bar OF steel
weighing half ton was suspended by
a chain, and near it was hung a bot
lie cork by a silk thread. The cork
was allowed to swing against the great
mass Of metal, striking at each time
the same spot. No result was percept-
ible for ten minutes, when the bar be-
gan 10 quiver. In thir;y-five minutes
it was swinging like the pendulum of
a clock. Advertisers who expect i'm
mediate and big results from a single
advertisement, or advertisements spas
medically placed before the public.
would do we'll to ponder this story. 1t
is the patient, persistent hammering.
kept up month after month and year
after year. that is certain to start tae

A NOVEL AID.

Morse Department store had some
thing little out Of the ordinary in a
special sale advertised in Friday and
Saturdays papers, the sale to begin al
10 A. NJ. Saturday. The box idea is
catchy, and II values were as repre-
sented, which is usually the case al
this store, the sale must have proved
advantageous In various ways Even
in a sale an idea is valuable.

GOOD WINDOW EFFECT.

Peterson & Brown have something
novel in the window dressing line
showing that you can work an old idea
into a new one. Instead OF entirely re-
moving the Easter window ideas which
appeared there until few days ago
Mr. Brown managed to work COM
plete change by using new colors in
crepe paper, Red and white are the
eolors ussd and the goods displayed
are outing shoes which are also effect
lively advertised In this paper. A man
with such good conception OF win
dow dressing as Mr., Brown has. should
change his windows often. Il will
prove valuable effect.

QUESTION OF ouTslp EpIseLAY,
Says orno Strong. editor OF West
Coast Trade;
In cities In many parts OF the coun-
try there is growing sentiment
against sidewalk and outside displays
'ot fruits ana vegetables, where such
goods are exposed TO contamination
from dust and other filth.
II has been pretty well established
hS medical men. and others well quail.
fled to know. that much sickness and
disease, especially among children. is
caused by the consumption Of goods
thus exposed and contaminated. This
Is especially true during the summer
months ana fresh fruits and vegetable
season."

LITTLE FRED STURDIVANT.

Little Fred Sturdivant departed
this life December 9, 1905. His
short life marked the space of five
months and niue days, which will
long dwell on the memory of the
beloved parents, who need the
sympathy and consoling words of
their friends, while mourning the
loss of such a dear little gem TAX
en- from a tender mothers bosom
and clesped in the jaws of Death,
which deprived them of Fred,
whose absence is beheld in every
unbalanced spot of the home cir
Gle.
That sweet, cooling voice is no
more to be heard, or the sweet,
pleasant smiles, which were the
pride of the mothers heart, whose
tenderest affections were won by
the laughing blue eyes which we're
as bright as the sunbeams that
shone on the dark auburn tresses
that adorned his delicate brow.
OH it's heartrending to be de-
prived of such precious treasures,
for home is, oh, 50 lonely. A
place is vacant that cannot be fill
ed In his care worn mothers heart,
in whose memory he is enshrined.
Our darling is gone but not for
gotten. - HIS AUNT GRACE.
