LACK OF STOCK
Lack Of Stock Drives Trade From Local
Retailers.

The wise merchant knows how tc
cater to the public. He first of all
studies his particular patronage and then
figures out, what class of goods is ne
cessary to gain additional customers
There are some retailers in this city
who are awake on this point, Others
fail to take notice OF the Importance at.
tached to at least a fairly complete
stock. 1t would indeed be folly for a
merchant to seek new custom by adver.
tising, unless he carry a pretty good
stock OF the lines he handles. A lady
shopper feel disappointed ii she finds
that two pairs OF white silk gloves
form the complete stock in that line
and the clerk is unaware when they
will have som more, and so on indef.
initely. Never permit your stock TO
run down in seasonable merchandise,
1t sadly reflects upon YOU and your
ability TO take care OF business.

$1,000 AN ISSUE.

Few people recognize the value OF
advertise until they become familiar
with the amounts expended by some
firms in publicity accounts. They be-
gin to think that advertising must have
a face value, or so-and-so would not
spend his money that way. A page an.

have almost the comparatively small
salary of the president of the United
States expended upon one page in IL
issues of one publication, or $4,000;
just 5000 less than the presidents sal
ary.
In this city the salmon industry alone
could spend twice that sum adyantag.

MORE ABOUT HIM.

for the work, but is broad OF brain and
likewise of human intelligence, and
comes with the vigor and enthusiasm
OF his views as real help TO busy and
worried business men.

the opportunity and when to leave when
the occasion seems inauspieiouS He

AN AD-YET PROPER.

There are many who might accuse
Herman Wise of being presumptuous
perhaps of trying TO have hand in
everything. If it be failing, It's not
a bad one for business man, if he does
not step beyond the bounds OF propriety.
In the issuing OF the souvenir OF the
City Hall dedication Herman Wise has
combined good Judgment and propriety
with the salient feature-adyertising-
in a modest manner.
The souvenir, as published, shows a
good illustration OF the new City Hall,
with a photo OF the present head of the
city government in circle in the upper
right hand corner of the card. Suitable
inscriptions make it of value for gener-
ations to come. ..
In modest manner, entirely separate
from, and little below the public build
ing, Wise's advertisement is attached
to the card. Those who desire have an
opportunity to cut off the ad and save
or frame the picture.

Courteous CLERKS.

Your salesman and saleswoman should
be able to gain the confidence of their
customers. This can be accomplished by
prompt and courteous service. The tired
clerk can not successfully perform good
service. If the tired feeling be inner
ent, it is time to get a wide-awake per-
son to take the formers place. The
writer knows of many instances in this
city, where it is a pleasure to enter the
stores, whether one wishes TO buy or
not. This is due TO the willingness shown
by the clerks while they are on duty.
and to their pleasant attitude when of
duty. Have you ever thought that a
customer may buy twice as much from
an agreeable salesman than from the
other fellow?

AS You LIKE IT.

A lady, out shopping few days ago,
after deeming it strange that here so
many storekeepers show their poorer
grades of merchandise first, was told by
a clerk in a big store that good goods
get shopworn by being shown too often"
whereupon she suggested that they
might also get shopworn by remaining
on the shelves too long. A wise mer-
chant advertises merchandise Of quail
ity in the right manner and gives it no
chance to get shopworn either way.

ADVERTISING MAN.

rThere was time when the adver
tising solicitor occupied about the same
status as the soap peddler and the rend'
er of shoe strings and matches. Their
the office man-at.the-door was instruct.
ed to keep him at bay and lose no time
in showing him the most convenient
place Of exit and even the watchdog
was trained TO be on the lookout for
anyone whose appearance was in the
least questionable and who might poss'
ibly be an advertising solicitor
Advertising conditions have changed
very materially in the last few years
and the advertising solicitors position
has been much improved and now he
occupies an enviable position among
men, as one who has been of practical
help to his fellow men,"

BLISTER BROWN.

The stage has of late years given successful realizations of many char. acters first made famous in the funny pages of our great dailies. but of all these none have come forward with so strong hold on universal favor as Buster Brown" which will be seen at Polls Saturday afternoon and even ing, direct from highly successful sensational season of one hundred nights at the Majestic theater in New York and two hundred nights in Chi cago. There are many reasons why Buster should be taken to the general heart, but two are most potent; these are his absolute and convincing real ity and his youth. The child appeals to all: children sympathize with him and their elders love him. That clev- CT and enterprising manager, Melville B. Raymond. was quick to see Bus ter's dramatic possibilities and se- cured from his creator the sole rights of representation. Then he built a story on Busters pranks and put this in handsome setting, illustrated with a chorus of exquisitely beautiful girls, gowned in the latest and most sump- tuous styles. Musical features were supplied and large sums of cold cash were invested in what has since been acknowledged to be the worlds great est cartoon comedy. Only second in importance to Buster in the thought of those who have come to know him so well is Tige. his dog. Prices are 9. 35, 30. 75 cents and S1. Matinee, p and 90 cents.

THEATRICAL OUTLOOK.
Competition Brings About opportuni.
 ties for American Dramatists.

Competition Brings About 0pportuni.
 ties for American Dramatists.
 As the playgoer returns from his va cation and reads the current news of the theaters, he is startled by the changes wrought during the summer in the outlook for the American drama. Healthy competition has taken the place of monopolistic managerial sys- tenn. The reflections of European ideals have given place to native standards, which, however imma ture they may be in an artistic sense, are defined with sufficient accuracy to ex- press the national spirit. The inchoate American drama seems to have a fair chance of emerging from the nebulous state into respect-inspiring institu- ton.
 The art and the business of the drama, hostile as they are in spirit, have been interdependent for fifteen years. Such a condition was made possible by the existence of a group of managers-the syndicate-whO, con tioilAhS ucdllS CNcIg HiSL-Cidbs lhSdlei in the country. could dictate the style of our entertainments and influence the majority of our playgoers with their taste. or the lack of it. Those who rebelled against the syndicate standards and sought to make the the ater temple of the arts found them selves hopelessly in the minority. The public was willing to patroniZe the drama at its worst rather than eschew amuSementS.
 The formation of rival combination during the summer. with a score of theaters and as many attractions, brings the syndicate face to face with the strongest and most dangerous rival in its history. The value of the com petition thus created and the impetus given to the author, actor and man. ager by this enlarged market are self evident. The benefits to the playgoers from this business warfare are also too palDable to require discussion. On the other hand, tAe effect of these con- ditiOns. old and new. on the artistic phases of the question have been gen. orally sighted. During the last few years the discriminating playgoer has felt growing apathy toward the the ater because of the predominance of rubbish and plays founded on Euro pean rather than native ideals. The general playgOer, with an equal taste, has refused to patronize the poor shows" including many of the import ed dramas. and has turned for relief to the American plays, wherein he saw hfrfoenIf humor depicted with little art. but with undoubted spontaneity. The man. agers, in the face of the verdict and of financial losses, have this season dis carded uncertain foreign plays and cast their fortunes with the American dramatist-Philadelphia Record.
