Clever Marketing z.

My experience the past season con-
firms the belief that the way to make
money out of melon growing is to
build up a reputation for shipping good
goods and have your own brand or
trademark. We made eighteen ship
ments to our commission man and had
goods in every shipment that sold at
the highest prices. This result was Sc
cured by holding up the quality. AS
the season progressed we culled closer
and closer This naturally gave us a
smaller proportion Of fancy and No.
melons, but we had the satisfaction of
getting the top price from first to last
for our best c0ods-that bore our trade
mark. y month after the melon season
was over the salesman who had charge
of selling our fruit said it was pleas
ure to handle such goods. 1t hurt the
customers at first to pay more than
they could get other melons for. but
after they once got started they almost
fought to get our fruit before it was
gone.-W. b. Lloyd, Illinois.

The One You Should Buy and the

The most common flaw is the temper
of the hook Some hooks are brittle
and break easily. There are other
hooks still that bend, and bend so easi-
ly that they "straighten" on every big
fish. and vet other hooks that bend, but
bend so hard that a big fish never
fiexes them, and they only straighten
and come away when the full tension
of the line is laid upon them if caught
on a tough snag or tree bough. These
Mast are the hooks to buy-if you can
ind them-and the hard breaking
hooks classifies next in merit. Tests by
the. eye are quite useless, as so many
hooks carry exactly the same tints in
blue or black. Test the hook instead
by the hand, catching the point in a
firm bit of wood and trying it out both
by the hard, firm pull and by the jerk

is now asserted that the United States
navy has better ration than any army

of the present ration are that it is
more flexible and makes it unnecessary
to issue combinations to sailors in
place of regular ration. Added tc

E. J. BENNETT.

The real estate and loan business owned and conducted by Mir F. J. Ben nitt, was established in the early '9O'. Mr. Bennitt, however. came to Arizona thirty-one years ago and located at Prescott, where for a time he follow ed his profession, that of a civil engi- neer, finally becoming interested in a general merchandise business. In 1882. in association with Moses H. Sherman, Col. Wm. Christy and w. J. Murphy. he organized the First National Bank of Phoenix This institution still sur wives under the name of the Valley Bank. For many years assistant cash fer of the Valley Bank, MT. Bennitt in 1892, together with some business as sociates. organized the Phoenix Nation al Bank, and for a number of years following its organization was con- nected with it as cashier.
 Owing to i'll health he was obliged to resign and entered into the real es- tate and insurance business. His real estate business is conducted along gen eral lines, and includes both city and country property, and it is interesting to note that he represents a great num- Der of corporation and non-residents,
  are very extensive, the country prop erty listed including both lands in the irrigated districts and immense cattle ranches. His Knowledge of the terri tory gives him exceptional opportuni- ties to keep in touch with affairs in this line. The city property listed is among the best in both business and residence locations. For thirty years Mir Bennitt's name has been as sociated with .the best interests of the city and territory, and his name sis prominently associated with many of the largest mining. industrial, and financial corporations in Arizona He is identified with all progressive movements and his support of enter prises designed for the benefit of the city that has given him health and wealth, has redounded to the good ot the entire community.

It has been long conceded that there is no better barometer of prosperity and thrift in community than the activity and success of its institutions for the care of the peoples savings. The usefulness of the bank, which en- courages and promotes thrift and in duces men and women to become in- dependent is unquestiOned, and they have earned the eulogy of the keenest of the worlds financial experts. meas ured by the standard and taken in connection with the large aggregate of deposits in the Home Savings Bank & Trust Company. the people of Phoe- nix stand out prominently as examples of thrift, industry and frugality. The Home Savings BanF &, Trust Company is one of the youngest of the city's financial institutions and it's manage ment is strong and conservative. The bank is conveniently located on North Center street, but a few doors from the Hotel Adams
 The appointments are handsome and are well adapted to the operations of a large financial institution. the scope of which embraces all the features of banking, conducted under the existing laws and conditions. The accounts of firms corporations and individuals are solicited and four per cent interest is paid upon term deposits. Some bank ing houses may offer more. but the management of the Home Savongs Bank & Trust Company operate along as generous lines as is consistent w.th conservative business methods.
 The bank was organized ana incor- porated in August of 1900. wIth an authorized capital stock of $1O0. .DOC All of it's stockholders are Phoenix men who have established reputatians in the business and financial world of not only this city, but throughout the en- tire territory as well.

and were destined to win for him a like distinction in his adopted home. He was not long in establishing himself in business. and his name soon became prominently associated with the real estate interests of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley. That it has remain ed so ever since is natural sequence of the fact that he has not elected to change his vocation and still conducts one of the leading real estate, loan and insurance offices in the city. He has not acted alone as agent in pro noting the interests of Phoenix real ty. His confidence has been manifest ed by large personal investments in city real estate. and his present hold ings represent some of the choicest business and residence property in. the city A colonization project of great maguitutude in which MT.

It is well within reach of railroad station, some six or eight miles distant, and the surrounding country is a rich mining section which assures steady market for the pro ducts of the farms. A great storage reservoir. covering an area of 19f0 acres and forty-seven miles of canals provides for a bountiful water supply.

Phoenix may be said to be especially fortunate in the character and stabi- ity of her banking institutions. The manner in which they have witnstood periods of financial stress has been the subject of most favorable com ment throughout the country, and of felicitation in business and financial circles throughout the territory.
 The above banking house is rightly accorded a place among the most con servative and stable banks of Arizona, and it will be admitted without a dis. senting voice in business and financial circles that it cas been, since its establishment. as intimately associat- ed with the financial affairs of Arizona as any banking institution in the southwest.
 The National Bank of Arizona transacts a general banking business, buys and sells exchange. both foreign and domestic, on all the principal com merciaI centers, and keeps accounts with individuals, firms and corpora tions. It has for correspondents the strongest banks of the eastern cities and of the west. among them being Laidlaw & Go. of New York City, First National Bank of Chicago, National Bank of Commerce. Kansas City and St. Louis; the Bank of California in San Francisco. and the Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Los An geles. These connections facilitate collections and the handling of com mercial paper, etc. The banks depOs- itOrs register from all over Arizona, and the deposits entrusted to the in stitution often exceed half a million dollars. No better evidence of the confidence in which the bank is held could be desired than is found in the preceding statement.

 sociation. AS land holdings are re-
 stricted to 160 acres there can be no opportunity for a monopoly or a com bination to be formed to control its operation. The organization of the association is based upon popular and representative government Its presi- dent and vice president are elected by direct vote of all the members, while in each of ten districts is elected a governor and three cOuncilmen, who form the controlling and legislative bodies of the organization. The head quarters of the association are in Phoenix One of the duties of the as sociation will be to collect from it's individual members their proportions ate annual installments on the cost of the reservoir and pay the amount to the government in a lump sum. An other duty will be to provide admin istrative facilities for the distribution of the water and in all things to rep
