A Talk on Advertising from
THE STAR

was buying a cigar last week when a man
dropped into the shop and after making a purchase
told the proprietor that he had started a clothes
shop around the corner and quoted him prices, with
the assurance of best garments and terms.
After he left the cigar man turned to me and
said:
'Enterprising fellow, that; he'll get along"
"But he 'front.'" L replied, "and, furthermore, I'll
wager you that he hasn't the sort of clothes shop
that will enable him to.
"What made you think that?" queried the man
behind the counter.
His ideas are wrong" | explained: "he's relying
upon word ofmouth publicity to build up his bust
ness and he can't interview enough tnd5U6duaIs to COM
pete with a merchant who has sense enough to say
the same things he told you to a hundred Mouasnd
men while he is telling it to one. Besides, his
method of advertising is too erpens5Ue. Suppose he
sees a hundred persons every day. First of all he is
robbing his business of its necessary direction and
besides he is spending too much to reach every
man he ~solicits."
What makes you say that?"
well, as the proprietor of a clothes shop his
own time is SO valuable that l am very conservative
in my estimate when | put the cost of his soliciting
at five cents a head.
Nov, if he we're really able and clever he would
discover that he can talk to hundreds of thousands
of people at a tenth of a cent per individual. There
is not a newspaper in Chicago the advertising rate of
which is $LO0 per thousand circulation, for a space
big enough in which to display whath he said to yom"
Il never looked at it that way, said the cigarman.
It's only 'Me man aOho hasn't Ooked at 1t that aOoy'
who hesitates for an instant over the advisability
and profitableness of newspaper publicity.
Newspaper advertising is the cheapest channel
of communication ever established by man. A
thousand letters with one-cent stamps will easily
cost fifteen dollars and not one envelope in ten will
be opened because the Gerry postage is an invitation to
the wastebasket.
If there we're anything cheaper rest assured that
the greatest merchants in America would not spend
individual sums ranging up to hull q million dollars a
gear and OUeg IN this form of attracting trade.

SHARE
IN PASSA|C SEWER
OVER 100000
Commission Presents Plan to
Purify River. of Twenty
Cities Sewage.
PROPOSED PIPE LINE
EIGHTEEN MILES IN LENGTH
New York Fights It's Co%nstrnca
ton, Claiming 1t VIII Imperil
City's Health.

The report of the Passaic Valley
Sewerage Commission was made public
today. The construction of the giant
sewer, which is designed to purify the
Passaic River and discharge the sewage
of twenty municipalities in four u
ties. will cost $12.2 $50. 1000; Newark's
share of the expense will be $685.
996.3s, and Essex County's proportion
will be $3.50, 1922. according to the
estimate of the engineers, If Paterson
and all other municipalities within the
district unite in its building.
Whether Paterson and other towns
and boroughs which have looked
askance at the proposition agree to
participate in its construction or not,
the Passaic River will be cleansed OF
the filth which now makes it one of
the dirtiest streams in the world, as
under the law dissenting municipalities
must desist from discharging refuse
into the river within five years. In this
event, other giant sewers will be built
by other municipalities. Newark and
the West Hudson towns may have to
build the unaided.
Three Miles Underground.
The proposed sewer will be approx
mately eighteen miles long. Starting
at Paterson and draining the refuse
from cities, towns and boroughs along
the Passaic River banks 1t will dis
charge 10000 900 gallons of sewage
daily into New York harbor, a mile
from the New Jersey shore. The great
pipe line will traverse the Newark
meadows, burrow under Newark Bay,
under Bayonne and the narrow neck of
land upon which that city is built,
through the soft mud underlying New
York Bay, a distance of three miles
underground, to a point several hum
dred yards from the line dividing the
waters of New York from those of New
Jersey.
The commissioners report that the
sewer can be completed by 1912. The
following table gives the figures esti-
mated by the commission to be the cost
to each municipality of carrying on the
great work:
unconditional

36O,00O,O0O Gallons Daily.
From a twenty-four-inch sewer at
the beginning in Paterson, the pipe line
will gradually enlarge to thirteen feet
at the outlet. TIL commission esti-
mates that it will be of sufficient size
to care for the disposal of all sewage
within the district until the yea 1910,
at which time, it is estimated. the
a lount of sewage daily passing
through the pipe to the harbor will be
&c., o., 900 gar-ns. The cost of main
~tenance, once the sewer Is built, is
placed $170,0 900 annually to $3.50, 900
annually, according to the volume of
r. use discharged.
The west bank of the Passaic River
is chosen as the location, and the great
pipe line will follow the river windings
and turnlngs to Newark Bay. The es-
Inmates of it's cost were furnished by
Herring & Fuller, engineers, of New
York, and were &C .sidered and ap-
proved by Engineers William M.
Brown, Allen Hazt and Edlow w.
Harrison. The metlo of computing
the cost to each municipality is upon
the amount of taxal. e property within
the municipality.
The commission submits that the
| cost + construction would be about
ST.. per $1,000 of tax ratables; the
cost of maintenance is placed at about
20 cents per 1000. The district includes
an area of twenty-seven square miles,
with a population of $4,000 persons.
There are 124 subdis.ricts each empty
ing into the main sewer. OF the sew
age that is emptied TO the harbor,
Newark will contribute about one
third.
Paterson Fights Plan.
Secretary John S. Gibson today de-
livered to each of the interested munich
palities a copy of the report. Whether
or not they will unite in the building
of the sewer will be left for them to
determine. The matter will be taken
up in earnest in a score of towns, cities
and ~boroughs, and local politics will
give precedent to the issue, which has
been momentarily expected for the past
month. In Passaic County sentiment
is strong against the sewer and citi-
zens from Paterson have fought the
proposition from the start.
In New York opposition to the build
ing of the sewer is strong, despite the
fact that New York daily contributes
millions of gallons of ewage to the
harbor. II is argued there that the
dumpinS of New Jerseys refuse into the
harbor would imperil the health Of the
city. Secretary Gibson says that tbs
contemplated plan would result i'm bener
fit to the metropolis.
