son for resignfng from the board of
trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance

of the supreme court. The Demo-
Gratis protested but the corporations
got what they put up the main fight
for-two more members of the state

A Practical Advertising
Test.

The following practical test OF
the value Of advertising, as told in
the Sterling Banner, is worthy Of
the careful consideration of the
business men.
A merchant who had two stores
in small towns tried an experiment.
He pnt bargain counter in each
store, containing the same identical
articles 1t the same prices. In the
newspaper Of one village he adver-
tised this special sale counter. In
the paper Of The other be did not.
In one month in the village where
he did not advertise he sold 1884
worth OF goods. The store where
he did advertise he sold the same
month goods amounting to 81, ,725.
In commenting On the result OF the
experiment the merchant said:
People who got the paper with
the advertisement would pass oy
one Of the stores and drive for miles
to the Other one for what they could
have gotten u the same price at my
store 1t their doors, but they did
not know it was there. -
