Each of the two dominant men in our agency
started in here at $40 per week.
The chief of our Copy Staff started in ad-
vertising at $40 per month. His salary is now
$1,000 per week.
AL our highiy-paid men have won their way
here, against all competition. by the sheer force
of results.
Each has advanced over hundreds Of others
by proving his power to outseil them.
We make no contracts with men. Each must
yield his place the moment better man shows
up.
Nor do we set any limits to what men can
earn. That depends on their power to sell
goods.
Thus we keep men on their mettle. Thus we
give them incentive. Thus we lead them to
fear defeat
To this sink-or-swim policy is due our sue
cess, and the success Of our hundreds Of clients.
The doctrine we practice is the doctrine we
preach. Make your helpers win their way.
Give to no agent cinch on your advertising.
Sign no long-tim contract.
Commit yourself to no certain expenditure.
Let the results decide that.
Give your advertising to the agent who

the burning Of Rome was q mere trifie

make up this total, the average annual
loss is almost 100000. which does
not include the expense to the city Of
100000 false alarms. The figures show
that FIRE alarm Is received every
twenty-three minutes and that an actu-
al IRE occurs on an average Of less
than every two hours, or at the rate
of thirteen day. or 474e each year.
The annual loss has shown variations
to an extent which would seem con-
clusiveIy to prove that there Is no law
OF are averages. Thus, though the
city grew rapidly in the fourteen years
from 1888 to 1897, the loss by fire In
the latter year was less than in 1888
and smaller than in any previous year
except 1886. The fire loss in 1891
was $4,000, 900 and in 1885 1t was only
