A Way TO ADVERTISE.

II is stated upon good authority that
Herreshoff has built motor launch al
Bridgeport, Conn, which will, it is said
be the fastest boat of its size in the
world. The motor win be used in tor
pedo boats.
Those who remember the yacht races
in which Sir Thomas Upton was In
terested win remember Herreshoff as
the builder of one of the famous yachts,
Those who are familiar with Sin
Thomas history, know that he has had
much free advertising out of his
yachts. Those who remember these
things, may find it worth while to in
terest one of the salmon packers in the
yacht problem; Herreshoff might pro,
vide the yacht and-lo and behold
our city might be advertised at almost
nominal cost throughout the world, as
extensively as Lipton's teas.

ADVERTISE CLEAN FRUIT.

Los Angeles has put into effect q
city ordinance with stringent provis'
ions regarding the supervision of the
sale of fruits and vegetables. The reg
ulations make it misdemeanor to use
boxes containing soft fruits and veg
etables a second time, and prohibits the
sale of fruits and vegetables where
gardens have been irrigated with sew
age water. 1t also gives city inspec-
tors absolute authority to enter stands
and stores where fruits and vegetables
are offered for sale and held in storage,
for the purpose of inspection, and EN-
powers them to condemn and order
destroyed, to defaee or confscate any
products which they may deem unfit
for human food.

CANDY A STAPLE

From being one of the auxiliaries of
trade, candy has become one of the
staples, says B. II. Albee in Cleveland
Inland Grocer.
Firms which formerly carried it in
stock to attract the children now keep
a supply of it for the benefit of the
older ones, and experienced men assert
that eighty percent is consumed by
adults. In fact, the trade of children.
formerly considered the important
feature of the candy counter, is now
of little consequence. None the less
it appears that the candy trade is only
in its infancy.
Retailers who desire to do all to add
to the general atraetiyeness of their
stores can do so in no better way than
by adding a candy counter or a candy
department.
The counter should be located in as
prominent a place as can be afforded.
If you can spare a space in the front
Of the store you can rest assured that
you win not lose anything by using it.
Nothing pays better per centage and
nothing can be turned more quickly
than candy. The result of this combi-
nation of god characteristics is that
the trade of other departments will
increase as the trade of the candy de-
partment expands.

CHANCE SHOTS

BY the Ad Man,

Appreciating the value of their ad,

Stokes Co, have added to the adver.

Dry Goods Department a separate an

their departments will soon use space
for its announcements. Remarkable as
it may seem, the ad--man believes that

Past, the Ad Man Has Tried to Show
the Need of Good Copy.
Now and then an advertiser who has
obtained results from advertisements
placed upon the suggestion and under
the guidance of the Ad- Man has en-
deavored to show his appreciation of
these efforts. But the most gratifying
reward the ad man has yet received,
is the evidence of an increase of adyer-
tising space used by some firms and
the readiness with which other mer-
chants have accepted his ideas. 1t is
manifest that dealers no longer, as at
first, dread the so-called interference

LIKE THIS YEARS REGATTA.

More towns die from want of conf
dence on the part of some men and
lack of public spirit than from rivalry
of neighboring towns and adverse sur
roundings. When a man in search of

town and finds the people brimful of
hope and enthusiasm over the pros.
poets of the place and earnestly at
work to build up the town he soon be-
comes imbued with the same spirit.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVERTISING


These can be found everywhere. If
the manufacturers of breakfast foods
can claim success based upon advertis'
ing, there is no reason why canneries
in the United States should largely
advertise canned fruits, etc. The
success of the automobile manufactur-
ers in the advertising field should, by
this time, prove a valuable lesson to
the makers of vehicles, drawn by the
quadruped. Coffee is only just being
placed on the market, while subsq-
tutes have been exploited for years.
The leading hotels do not, as yet, seem
to have fully appreciated the value of
general advertising. The steamship
companies have yet to learn from the
railway corporations. We could go on
indefinitely, calling attention to oppor-
tunities for advertising, were it neces-
sary. We have yet to see the line
which cannot be exploited IN some. man
ner.

QUICK ACTION
is a Difficult Problem in Modern De
partment Store Advertising.


The advertising manager of a de-
partment store faces, what is prob
ably the most serious problem in up.
to-date retail store advertising. He
must get prompt results, for in some
papers the expense is enormous. In
some of the San Francisco papers the
cost of page each day exceeds $4,000
While on Sunday it is even greater
unless the contract reads for daily and
Sunday issues. In the Portland Ore
gonian the expense Of page per day
approximates $50. on contract basis
1t is not surprising, therefore, that the
owners of the stores expect results
and those quickly. They must have it
or advertising loses its value.

When James GordonBennett the elder
was editor of the New York Herald
Robert Bonner, publisher of the
Ledger, was struggling to build up its
circulation and decided TO try little
advertising, He wrote an announce.
ment consisting of eight words, "Read
Mrs. Southworth's New Story In the
Ledger" and sent it to the Herald
marked for zone line" MIR Bonner's
handwriting was so bad that the words
were read in the Herald Office as"one
page" Accordingly, says Modern Ad'
yertising, the line was set up and re-
peated so as to occupy one entire page.
Mr.. Bonner was thunderstruck the next
morning. He had not to his name mon
ey enough in the bank to pay his bill
He rushed excitedly over to the Herald
Office, but it was too late to do any good
In short time the results of the page
announcement began to be felt. Or.
ders for the Ledger poured in until the
entire edition was exhausted and an.
other one was printed. The success of
the Ledger was then established. Ever
after that time Mr.. Bonner was an ar
dent believer in advertising and a
liberal purchaser of space.

But France is not the only country

Dr. Williams Osler of Baltimore,
the famous medical specialist of
Johns Hopkins, who set the country by
the ears because of his assertions con-
corning the uselessness of men after
they reach the age of 60, has the
reputation among his brethren for
getting the biggest fees for the least
work of any man in the profession.
story which is current among
Washington physicians is about a
rich old man whose wife has been all
ing for months. All the local doctors
had tried their hands without much
result The old lady had passed the
allotted term of life, 20 years, and
was suffering from the general break
ing up of her vital organs.
The old man, genuinely fond of his
wife, thought the doctors did not
know what the trouble was, and when
some one suggested the renowned
Giagnostician of Baltimore he jumped
at the chance. He telegraphed to DR..
Osler, but that learned gentleman was
very busy and could not come. The
distracted man wired again, telling
Dr. Osler to leave his work and come
no matter what the cost. The doctor

a while. Then he turns with the left
hand. At fifty he stops to rest, and
with grunt he wipes the beads from
his brow. Finally out drops a cent.
THE tramp grins. He thinks he'll
turn ten hundred times, and get ten
cents for two beers. He is pretty
tired, though, by the time he's turned
500 times, and, besides, the morning
is pretty well gone now. So he stops
at the five hundred. He goes off with
five coppers, rubin his arms. His
arms'll be stiff next day.
''Hard-earned coppers! Edison
Murphy calls his invention a charity
machine, but there's not much charity
about it. Edison gets out of the ma
chine enough electrical power to light
his house, pump his water, and run

him is 20 or 80 cents a day that goes
into the pockets of poor deluded
tramps"

weeds and trash being offered as a
sacrifice on the altar of spring activ-
ity. But there are some matters re-
curing attention that are very apt
to be neglected and we desire to
bring a few of them to the notice OF
our readers. What, for instance, is
the benefit of the old, weed-infested,
struggling, eye-offending Usage hedge?
It has passed the stage of usefulness
and has become positive nuisance
upon the place. One has long de-
cided to "get around to it, some day
and now is the time. Grub 1t out and
so beautify the farm. A serviceable
fence should take its place and by
such provision the field will be pro-
tected against entry or escape OF ami
mails and weeds be given less chance
to thrive and seed. And what OF the
willow trees on that low, wet spot
along the roadside? They were put
in as fence posts long ago and have
thriven apace until now they shade
the road and keep it wet. They gre
hard to kill but should be included in
the category of spring cleaning opera
lions. And they suggest something
more-the draining of the wet spot
or slough that has long been an eye
sore to the farmer and every passer
by. Even cut down to the trunks
willow hedges look better and there
is deal of summer wood in the trim
mings. Personally, however, we have
no use for such hedges and have new
er seen one by a road side that could
rightly be considered a benefit to any
one And what of the old stake and
rider" fence? Is it not high time that
it should give place to a modern fence
that occupies far less land and allows
little chance for weeds TO flourish and
seed? Such fences look out of place
nowadays. They were valuable once
and cheap when constructed, but they
are expensive now that they occupy
high priced land and scatter weed
seed far and near. Before the proper
time has come to get in the oat crop
it is possible to give attention to such
matters as we have mentioned, pro-
vided that during winter time harness
and machinery have been put in first
class order for spring use.

Under the Apple Tree.

I'm the garden of a great man six
persons were sitting, a scientific man,
a merchant, poet, young man
very much in love-a lawyer and a
lady. The wind was blowing rather
hard and six apples fell down. Each
took one. The scientific man took
his apple and discovered a new law
of nature. The merchant sold his.
The poet ate his. The young man who
was very much in love gave his to his
sweetheart. The lawyer went TO law
against the owner of the tree on &C.
count of being hit by the fallen apple.
But the lady took her apple to the
owner of the tree, gained his affec-
tons, and as he was rich she had
lots of money all the rest of her life

DR.. Osler's Quick Diagnosis

answered that it would require 500
to bring him to Washington on that
particular morning and the old man
wired:
"All right; only come at once"
The doctor arrived in due season
and was met at the station by the
husband. During the drive to the
house the doctor told the man blunt
ly that his fee must be paid in adj
vance, and the cash was promptly
produced.
After listening to few details of
his patients illness from the trained
nurse, DR.. Osler was ushered into the
sick room. He felt the woman's
pulse, listened to the heart and took
the respiration after the approved
method. Then he went down stairs,
where the husband was anxiously
waiting for him.
"The trouble with your wife," he
answered coolly, as he carefully adj
justed his gloves, "is that she is 70
years old. That is ALL"
And before the astonished man
could get his breath, he heard the
cab door bang and the doctor was on
his way back to Baltimore.
