In Advertising

The methods, the copy, the mediums,
the schemes are worked out in confer
ence.
They are worked out by men who. in
this vortex of advertising, learn some
thing new every day.
Thus we bring to each new problem
the lessons Of all we have done.
Such is the price of success.
Yet we handle advertising on the usual
agents commission.
On experimental campaigns, on articles
with possibilities, we frequently spend
ten times our commission in working
them out.
Our profit comes when the account ex-
pands, because. we have made it pay.
This able service costs you no more
than the service of minor men.
And think what it means if it multiplies
your results.

There never was time when 50 much
money was made, in so many advertised
lines, as today.
So many advertisements are worth
reading now that people have learned to
read them.
Never did good advertising win so cas-
lily.
Never was poor advertising SO certain
to fail.
Never was ability so much in demand,
nor experience SO essential.
These are no times for the amateur.
Succee, goes today to the qualified.
That's why we spend more on our copy
department. than on any other part Of our
business.
The head of this department., Mr..
Claude c. Hopkins, receives 81 600 per
week.
A record salary in advertising.
But Mr.. Hopkins has made more
money for advertisers, in more different
lines. than any other man has done.
His supremacy, as salesman in print,
is unquestioned.
Mr.. Hopkins supervises all of the copy
which goes out from this agency.
With Mr. Hopkins are some OF the
ablest advertising men in America.
Men whom we have picked out, in the
course of years, by the brilliant results
we have seen them accomplish.
And we want more Of them.
We want those men who have shown
the greatest results, regardless OF what
we must pay them.
This department is not an expense
neither to us nor our clients.
These men make accounts grow by
making them pay.
They create advertising which would
never exist save for their ability.
It is cheaper for us to develop business
IN this way than to pay men to solicit.

Our Advisory Board consists Of sixteen
men. all masters of advertising.
Each is man of vast experience and
Of proved ability.
Mr.. Hopkins is at the head OF it.

How to Make Advertising
as Safe as a Bond

Let us decide, first, if your article has
possibilities. Submit your problems to
our Board of sixteen men.
You are welcome to their advice.
They have advertised more things, In
more different ways, than any other set
of men in America.
They are likely to be right.
If what you want is possible, we will
tell you how to accomplish it, and with
but tri1ing risk.
If it is newspaper advertising, we may
suggest taking up six towns.
If magazine advertising, we may sug-
gest a few mediums.
The experiment, perhaps, will cost us
ten times our commission. But when we
are done you'll know.
What we do in six towns can be done
in six thousand, and the profits will be in
proportion.
The law Of average is sure. When you
expand, you will be spending your money
on an absolute certainty.
We hope that no man who has the
right article can neglect such an offer.
Please think what it means. Your risk,
at the most, is trifie.
ANY loss is improbable. We don't give

Back To Childhood Days.

The "Kid" party given by Miss
Isla Green on Tuesday night was
most entertaining. All the guests
came in children's costume and
the childish days, games and meth
dds seemed to be the spirit of the
evening and-strange to say-the
role seemed to come quite natural
ly to the dignified young ladies and
gentleman. All characters were
well represented and we remember
among them were little ''Boy Blue,
blowing his horn," the Country
Boy'' with his copper toed shoes,
homespun shirt and stockings and
red bandana and he was q green
one for sure. Buster Brown
and 'Mary Janc' bobbed up
about eIeryW here for there seemed
to be so many of him and her.
We saw one sedate young lady ut
tcrly transformed into a little old
fashioned girl in her frock with
curls dangling all over her head
and q good part of her face-and-
like several others had her little
toy wagon and stick candy. The
"Mischeivous Boy" made himself
omnipresent and no little school
Miss failed to become a victim OF
his pranks. Today his brows are
puckered up as he bends over the
intricacies Of the ''make-up" form
once again-the busy young
man. Doll,wagons and all man
ner Of toys were in evidence every.
where, while all-day-suckers, rails
ms, and ribbon candy filled their
childish CD hands and mouths.
The evening was pleasant re-
creation for the members Of the
two rival Bible classes, who as a
rule arc all very busy young peO-
pie.

THAWS TRIAL.
NEAR THE END.

Special to the Fitzgerald Enterprise.
New York, Jan. 30.-District
Attorney Jerome this morning be-
gan his imprisoned appeal for
what he termed justice in the send
ing of Harry Thaw to the electric
chair in his usual hammer and
tongs direct style. The prosecu-
tors began summing up and in the
review charged that Thaw was
rational and sane when he shot
White and should suffer the death
penalty even as a more humble
murderer who could bring no
money to bear in his favor.
Thaw sat unmoved under
Jerome's flaying, no flicker of his
eyelash when he painted him as a
cold blooded murderer. Equally
impassive were his aged mother
and young wife, Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw. Justice Bowling is expect
cd to charge the jury later this
afternoon or early tomorrow.
The jury should have the case
before noon tomorrow and Thaw
should know his fate by shutdown.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw when ques-
toned this morning said, "Mr.
Littleton's talk was very forcible
3md seemed to explain all the facts
clearly and took good care of Abe
Hummel. 1t seems to me the only
thing left for Jerome to talk about
is my eton collar.
After reviewing the case jerome
canvassed the testimony presented
by the defence. He declared that
if Evelyn Thaw's story is true no
man would have the hardihood to
stand up in defence of Stanford
White. He Gisclaimed any preju
dice against Evelyn but every word
of his address showed plainly that
he disbelieyed her every statement.
The district attorney reviewed the
testimony, Jas. Clinch Smith care
fully and significantly added, care
we to assume Smith who appears
to be gentleman would come here
and commit wilful coldblooded
perjury in order to send this de
PENDANT to the electric chair"
Smith swore that Thaw was APP
parently perfectly sane and ration

There arc not many days i'll our

shops. The father tolls all day
and cares for the baby at night.
His burdens are heavy altho he
bears them heroically. Women,
who have repeatedly sung-"Take

this family an opportunity to help
the Lord answer their own prayers
which, by the way is q very good
