Trade Business Startling
Metal Companies Have Been Boosting Prices Too Fast

The same difficulty, in a larger way.
confronts some other lines of industry.
The Steel corporation, following a con-
cessional mood of several months. has
regained its sang froid, and in recover
ing has reinstated its prepanic sched-
ules-that is. the panic was not panic
at all, it was a nightmore. a 6gment
of the imagination, superinduced by
tangled nerves and a bid digestion.
Therefore on awakening we must pro-
coed as heretofore.
The experiment is interesting. Form
erly industry gently conformed with
the various stages of convalescences.
AS the patient improved. prices were
gradually raised-prices followed they
did not lead. This time, it is assumed
by chief industrialists. there was no
real sickness. 1t was simply case of
un malade imaginaire. Hence charge
him what he paid before he went to bed.
In that respect the captains of in
dustry and the captains of the stock
market are alike. They are in a hurry
to rush quotations. The nation is
young and very vigorous. Possibly it's
vitality and constitution will be equal
to the hurry-up orders of the COM
manders. These-the commanders
will do their part too. Even in the
stock market their resources have not
been exhausted. There still are some
things in reserve, some things that will
be available later on.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The tape, in fact,
is not barometer of trade week by
week or even month by month At the
very time share quotations are show
ing signs of fatigue-following their
prolonged run-business elsewhere is
improving. A representative of Mar
shall Field & Co.-surely a representa-
tive commercial nstitution-says that
the retail sales in the past week were
in an unprecedented amount. Put
bluntly, the holiday trade in the west
has startled tradesmen by its sudden
ness and magnitude.
And while it must be emphasized
that it is holiday patronage, the in
crease over the same period in 1906
(for obvious reasons 1907 is not drawn
in comparison) should be comforting
to the business community. At the
same time undue citation is peri1ous in a
period of recuperation, however rapid
and apparently substantial
There are many things to be ad-
justed, commercially and legislatively.
For one thing, the metal companies
have been premature in rushing up
their prices. They have been too eager
to anticipate the demand. have ignored
the immutable and always effectuaI
law of supply and demand. A genuine
boom cannot be evoked by charging
boom prices, especially after-un-
doubtediy after-a depression.

Rival Detectives.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once had an
amusing experience with a cabman in
Paris. The author had just arrived at
the French capital and. to his great sur
prise. the cabman who had drove him
from the depot to his hotel addressed
him by name. Sir Arthur asked the
man how he knew who he was. oh"
replied the cabman, Il read in the
newspapers that the famous Conan
Doyle would come TO Paris from Mar
settles and Lyons, and directly 1 saw
You I observed that your hair had been
cut by a Marseilles barber, and that
on the heel of your left shoe there is
mud from Lyons. Sir Arthur was
highely fiattered and gratified to think
that an ordinary cabman was SO inti-
mate with his famous detective stories
that he could apply the methods of
their central character to the facts of
every day life. Are those the only
signs by which you recognized who

THIS IS MY 63D BORTHDAY.
John Il. PiIIshnrY

Captain John E. Pillsbury, chief of
the navigation bureau of the navy de-
partment, was born in Lowell, Mass,
Dec. Is, 1S45, and was appointed to the
naval academy in 1862 by President
Lincoln. He was at the academy
through all the days of the civil war,
although he incidentally saw some ac-
tive service. Graduating in 1868, he
put in his first and practice cruise on
the old frigate Minnesota His first
regular assignment after reaching the
old rank of master was to the Boston
navy yard. In the years that followed
he saw much service on land and sea.
He did much valuable work in the
coast survey service and was stationed
at various times in Asiatic and Euro
pean waters. During the Spanish war
he commanded the dynamite cruiser We
suvius. In 1902 he became member
of the general board and later was ap-
pointed assistant to the chief of the
navigation bureau. In 1905 he was
chief of staff of the North Atlantic feet.
Early in the present year he became
chief of the navigation bureau.
Throughout the naval service Captain
Pillbury is recognized as an expert in
photographic and geodetic work and
much Of his service in the navy has
been in these lines.

MISS BROWNS ADVERTISEMENT.

Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

MISS BROWNS ADVERTISEMENT.
Margaret Brown, Chicago stenog-
rapher, wanted position.
There were other stenographers In
Chicago who also wanted positions.
Miss Browns friends suggested ad-
vertising. She looked over the long
columns Of Situations Wanted" print
ed in the newspapers. She read scores
OF advertisements modelled after the
following:
Situation Wantsd.-Young girl Of TWEEN
ty-three five years experience. desires
position as stenographer; trustworthy and
rapid; references exchanged. Box x ".
Miss Brown shook her head To go
into the newspapers with that sort Of
an advertisement would be like going
into a lottery. Doubtless many Of
those girls were as capable as she.
How could she catch the eye and ar
rest the attention of the manager who
was looking for help?
After wrinkling her forehead many
times Miss Brown finally worked out
this unique ad.:
Situation Wanted.-A brown haired girl
OF the name of Brown would like posi-
ton as stenographer with firm named
Brown, although others would be consid-
cred. Address x 67s.
The result?
A great bunch of letters came to the
newspaper Office In answer to x 673.
From these the girl took her choice.
The next day shrewd Miss Brown
sat at her desk taking dictation. She
had found her job.
And the other girls were still adver-
Using.
The lesson of the incident is plain.
This is an age Of advertising. The
quickest road to publicity Is through
the daily newspapers. The business
world nowadays does not wait, Micaw-
ber-like, for something to turn up" IL
turns something up-by advertising.
But
There is advertising and advertising.
Originality counts. He or she who can
devise new method of publicity, a
new style of advertising, other things
being equal, viii best succeed In reach
ing the public
Miss Brown got the idea.
Her advertising was different.
And this story, retold, will have ac-
complished its purpose IL 1t shall lead
some girl or boy to thinking along
these lines.
