Peter Stsn'ey" Visits the Salvage
Sale
Pine, Fla, Aug. s, 1905.

SAFE.
Pine, Fla, Aug. s, 1905.
Last week made a business trip
to the Brick City, having been kept
close indoors on account of rains for
some time past.
Well. Mrs. Stanley wanted to go
down to do some shopping and kept
going on about things being SO cheap
at the, ''Salvage Sale" Before We
had gotten we'll on the road, she de-
manded, rather than asked, that 1
drive the team right to the "Salvage
Sale'' and leave it there until she
was through.
Ses 1. ''what is this you keep talk
ing about, anyway? 1 have heard
nothing from you women folks for
the last week but Salvage Sale"
What is it, and where is it!''
Just at this moment we met
Neighbor Jones and his wife return
ing home from Ocala. They were
driving Jones' large gray mule to a
one-horse wagon which appeared to
be pretty well loaded with bundles
and packages of all kinds and sizes,
and upon every package and bundle
could be seen little green tag upon
| which was printed, ''Salvage Sale"
The conversation between rs.
Jones and Mrs. Stanley led me into
the facts, and created sharp inter
est in me to visit the Variety Store
and get acquainted with the men
who SO thoroughly understood the
secret of successful advertising
1 found these gentlemen to be
| Messrs. Frank and Harris, two young,
! aggressive fellows whose business
tact and knowledge is leading them
! up to an enviabIe sphere in the mer-
chantile business.
Harris, we learn, is a son Of tAe
venerable Frank Harris, of the Ban
ner, which fact discloses the source
OF the FIRMS knowledge Of successful
advertising
Mrs. STANDBY bought until every
inch of room in the old family bug
gy was filled with packages, and
when I announced the fact that II
was simply impossible 10 carry al

preciated by the writer as a valued

somewhere.
think our picked-up and ''stix-
people" appearance, as we drove
away was thoroughly sufficient TO
illustrate good advertising feature
for the Variety Store, without the
additional noise of a tin pan bang
ing from the side OF the vehicle
However, the kind lady's intention
was an honest attempt TO accommo-
date her customers, and was duly
appreciated. PETER STANLEY

1t is expected that 500 business men
from Los Angeles will invade Salt
Lake city in about thirty days. They
come to inspect that city and the re-
sources of the State. Could the Cache
Commercial Club induce that bunch
or portion of it to come to Logan
for day? The trip would certainly
be a pleasant one for the California
people, and in Cache Valley thirty
days hence they could see display OF
natures beauties that Is not excelled
anywhere along the route from Los
Angeles. Is 1t not possible that a
visit from them would prove mutually
profitable?

der for careless bicyclers TO ride off
the wide cement walk and plow fur
rows in that loose soil. If men can
find it convenient TO occasionally step
onto the newly sown grass it will help
matters also, but possibly not so much
as if herders of cattle will hurry them
up along Main street and cause a half
dozen TO race the whole length of
those lawns In this way men who
need the work may be kept busy ill

grass. Don't pass up the opportunity

Some seem TO have gained from Sat
usday's editorial on Pres. Kerr the
impression that THE REPUBLICAN in
tended a defense of political interfer-
ence in A. c. affairs. THE REPUBLI-
CAN intended to set forth condition
represented to US as incontroyertible
and the futility of demonstration Of
THE REPUBLICAN and Others should
that condition be proved as represent
ed. However, We have the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that Pres. Kerr, the
party most interested entertained no
wrong impression, hence we shall not
go into explanation. THE REPUBLI-
CAMS position is possibly more clearly
defined in this issue.

The teachers of this county are pre-
pairing a petition TO present to the
board OF county commissioners asking
that a supervisor of Art and Manual
Training be appointed for Cache
county. With our limited knowledge
in the above we are inclined TO believe
that the request should be granted.
Other counties have similar officers,
as well as most all of the cities This
being the case, Cache county should
not be behind in this departure OF
training.
