SOME RAILROAD ADVERTISING.

The great Rock Island railway sys-

sample of their method of advertising
It was relative to the speaking of
Secretary of War Taft in Iowa City

rumored and unofficially announced
that a special train would be run from
Montezuma for the occasion. But
there was nothing definite known until
a few days ago when the company
sent out some flyers to be posted.

vantage of the opportunity to visit

who stayed at home simply because
they did not happen to see the bills
and, of course, knew nothing of the
train service 1t simply illustrates the
well known fact that the people read
the papers and pay but little attention
to i bills scattered promiscuously
around town. 1t may be that in the !!
course of time these railway officials |
will learn the proper channel for the
most effective advertising.

| out the Cedar Rapids Gazette. THE
| customer does not expect to get as
good suit of clothes for ten dollars
as he does for fifteen dollars, and the
competition in the clothing business is
so great that the buyer of the fifteen
dollar suit is sure of getting his
moneys worth. AS in buying clothes
! the customer takes into consideration
quality as we'll as price. so does the
discriminating reader consider quality
as well as price when picking his daily

Boston, April 16.-The market continued
fairly dull today, but the bears have car
ried the matter too far and stocks are raj
lying easily on scattered buying. We eX-
pect to see the market go a few points
higher and then we think they will be
sale again. North Butte and Copper
Range both acted we'll at the close and
should sell higher tomorrow. The North
Butte statement, which was issued yes
terday. showing only 50 earned on 20
cent copper market, was a disappointment
to the enthusiastic bull on the stock. Con-
siderable stock was offered for sale dur
ing the early part of the session. but was
easily taken care of By good buying.
