Advertising Sense.

A word to our advertisers.
Nine out of every ten customers
in the larger stores ask tor the
advertised brands OF staple
goods. They want the commodi-
ties they have read about in ad-
vertisements. They ask for them
by name. and they insist upon
having them because the adver-
tising has created confidence.
Advertising is an investment,
and not a venture, ii intelh-
gently done. Consider the vast
;Rnount of money being expend-
ed for publicity by the shrew-
dest merchants in the country.
Isn't it likely that if advertis-
ing were Improbable, they
would have found it out before
now?
Advertising must be continu-
Gus as we'll as attractive. It's
the everlasting sat it, that
counts.
"One step won't take you very far;
You've got to keep on walking.
One little ad won't do it all;
You've got to keep en- talking.
For if you stop minute
A-tootin' of your horn,
Not critter in the town
Will remember you were born.
At the last analysis the most
successful advertisement is the
one that is perfectly and simply
honest, Advertising is not ex-
aggeration, or clever ideas, or
schemes, or mystery. 1t is just
common sense, applied honestly
to fit particular cases. The ad-
vertisements that most appeal
to the public are those which
somehow make a man feel that
<hey tell the simple truth, and
that only.

Seasonal Rains During Last
Month Promise Unusually
Heavy Crops

The February Bulletin Of Progress
OF the California Promotion committee
has the following to say OF California
conditions:
February has been marked with
splendid growing weather all over
California, combined with seasonal
rains. which gives promise of heavy
crops OF al kinds this season. II is
believed by deciduous fruit growers
that the seasonal weather during Feb
ruary insures heavy crops OF peaches
and aprioots. which have been in light
bearing for the last three years.
From the Affiliations of the Califor-
MIA Promotion oommitte IN the United
States and Europe reports have been
received showing that there is greater
interest in California among the peo-
( pie than ever before. The eastern bu-
reau Of the committee in New York re-
ports inquiries from large numbers
desfrous Of investing in small farms
in California. and these will take sd-
vantage Of the five days stopoTer priv
ilege on colonist tickets during the
months Of March and April.
Reports received also indicate great
interest in the coming Of the warship
feet to San Francisco bay and the spe-
cisl excursion rates that will be in ef-
feet at that time viii bring large num-
bers TO the state.
There has been considerable activity
IN building. not only IN San Francisco,
but in the interior towns and cities,
during the month, this being espe-
oialiy noticeable in the erection of
schoolhouses and large public build
tngs throughout the interior.
The demand for domestic servants
IN all parts Of the state is urgent and
with wages higher than is usual in the

east and middle west are being inter
ested.

The New Cathedral.

At the $3.50 and 1890 o'clock masses
Sunday in Logan Avenue chapel, Bish-
op N c. Matz spoke encouragingly OF
the resumption of work on the new ca
thedral After cautioning parents to
forbid their children 10 play about the
foundation where the steel girders have
just been placed, the bishop announced
that the prospect now is that the con-
tract for the stone work viii be let in
March and that from that time until
the church is under cover, there will
be no further hitch i'm the plans. The
work has been delayed in the hope that
the exorbtant price of building mate
rials would drop, but thre seems little
chance of the immediate future accom-
plisling this.
Bishop Matz declared that much of
his time of late has been given to pre-
venting the cathedral from being the
scene Of accident as the school children
delight in playing on the walls, ten
and twenty feet from the ground.
