! During the past decade, while was

There are twenty-four pairs of shoes to

intended him for his original calling.
Hers was a literal command of Shoe
maker, stick to thy last!' For when ne
disobeyed the injunction an accident in
the cotton mill put quick end to his
plans of becoming weaver. Douglas
was pulled out Of the debris with
broken leg. That ended his cotton-mill
e.; oeriences.
He went back to his mother. While
recovering from his injury he attended
school and once more planned for
full education. But the lash of poverty
that has whipped so many men on to
greatness was busy about the young
students shoulders and drove Elm back
to the earning OF living. just as he
was seginning to rejoice in his school
progress.
No longer content to work aimiessly
at one job and another, Douglas now
set about learning the boot and shoe
business from bottom to top, in all its
branches. From town to town he
worked his way. studying the methous
of each shop until he had mastered
every rudiment Of his chosen profession.
Lure Of the Golden West.
BY the spring Of 1865 he felt ready to
start in for himself. Like many an
other ambitious boy, at that time he
| fanciei the future was brighter in the
new West than nearer home. So to
Denver he went, carrying along his
hardly-acquired stock of cobbline
k7owledge-ai.d little else.
Arriving there, he found capital was
as needful in Colorado as in Massa-
| chusetts. To acquire this capital he
took the first work that offered. The
work in question CHANGED to be the
not very congenal position of day la
borer in lime-kiln.

plant that now has an area Of 29S950
square feet.
Prosperity came, but did not arrive
fast enough to suit the ambitious
young financier. He looked about for
means of Increasing it more rapidly.
The method he chose was extensive
and unceasing newspaper advertising.
From the first the plan was a success.

advertisement. My principle Is: Keep
pounding away at the reader all the
time Formerly it used to be custom
to advertise shoes at only certain sea-
sons of the year. I never adhered to
that idea I advertise-and I keep on
advertising.
when season Is dull increase my
advertisements. That may seem odd.
Many don't do it. But I do.
THAT is one Of the secrets, I think,
of success. Instead of hanging back,
waiting for slack season to pass,
believe in advertising all the more.
This past spring, for example, was
backward and cold. 1t was bad for
trade. did extra advertising.
Nor, at such times, do ! raise the
price of shoes. 1t would hot be fair to
make the public pay for the slowness
Of season. I do not lower wages in
that event, either, as the 1906 scale will
prove. The scale for that year shows
the average shoemakers pay in the
United States was $461. In Massachu-
sets 1t was $780, In Brockton. 500;
while at my Montello factory it was
$76O. That does not include superinten-
dents and high salaried men. Just the
/ workers, on the union scale.
Another advertising theory Of mine
is that a good 'ad.' should be changed
very seldom. OF course In the case of
dry goods stores or other places where
special sales are held and new attrac-
tins offered from time to time 1t is
necessary to change the form and in
ducements Of an advertisement. But
where man deals In single staple

strong, convincing advertisement and
let that stand for long time.
Let him make sure first that 1t Il

There are good reasons for this. Sup

without reading it. Then one morning
he does read 1t. That may be the da!
