THE BUYERS GUARANTEE.

There are comparatively few adver
tised articles the profit from single
sale OF which will pay for the cost OF
the advertising. The advertiser usual
" looks beyond the first sale to other
considerations He counts upon ere
peat" orders; he figures that satisfied
buyers will help his business by WORD
of mouth" advertising, and he reckons
that one transaction advantageous to
the purchaser will smooth the way for
others involving the sac of other
wares.
The fact that the advertiser thus
has his eye on the future is the buyers
guarantee. II makes the purchase OF
advertised commodities safer than ex
periments with unadvertised wares.
Newspaper readers are quick to recog
niZe this. They are especially sus
ceptible to advertising invitation be
cause they know that no merchant can
afford to solicit their patronage unless
he is confident that his wares are mer
itorious enough not only to win but to

ENTHUSIASM AS THE CORNER
STONE

When the word strenuous" occurs
In print one instinctfvely looks for the
name of Theodore Roosevelt to be as
ISOLATED with ii. The enthusiasm
with which he entered INTO whatever
he Observation-Disclosures wc agree as TIC
its right or wrong-made for him o
reputation at once characteristic o.
the man and worthy of emulation by
every boy in the land. In business
and In pleasure this element of en-
6husiasm determines success or fail
ure. Where one does not feel such
an interest in his daily avocation ii
were far better that he seek else
where for the field in which his talents
may more effectively develop.
In the course of paper on adver
Using and craftsmanship prepared re
Gently by Mr.. Hugh Chambers, CT De
troit, successful business man, he
said:
AS to enthusiasm, man might
have honesty, health, ability, know
ledge of the business, tact, sincerity,
industry, and open mlndedness, and
without enthusiasm he would only be
a statute. Enthusiasm is the white
heat that fuses all of Those qualities in
to one effective mass. To illustrate
enthusiasm I can take sapphire and
piece of plain blue g ass and | can
rub the plain glass until 1t has a sur
face as hard as the sapphire, but
when / put the two together and
look down into Them find that the
sapphire has a thousand little lights
glittering out of 1t that you can not
get out of the blue glass il you rub
a thousand years. What those little
lights are to THE sapphire, enthusiasm
is to a man. | love to see enthusiasm
about that in which he is interested.

man root" for the home team, and III
never hothers me a bit, because
know that that man has enthusiasm
He has interest. ! wou d not give two
cents for man who works for money
alone. The man who Doesn't get some
comfort and some enthusiasm out of
his daily work is in a bad way. Some
men are almost irresistable-you
know that; 1t is because enthusiasm
radiaJtes from their expressions, beams
from their eyes and is evident In their
actions. Enthusiasm is that thing
which makes a man boil over fer his
business, for his family or for any
III l.
thing his heart is in. SO. | say, en-
thusiasm is one of the greatest things
a man can Tradesman.

MORE BREAKS.

And still the old cement pipes are
breaking. 1t is no uncommon sight
these days to see two or three breaks
in the water main on a single street.
There were six yesterday. At the
present time there are two large
breaks in the main on East Martin
street.
1t has been a regular occurance on
the past two Sunday nights for the
main on Maple avenue to break. An
other big leak was found on East
King street. All these breaks are ex
pensive. to say nothing Of the incon
Yenience caused water users.
There is probably no city in the
country that has better water sup
ply than harrisburg While we heard
of this town or that being dry. during
the past summer, never was there a
time when We were short of water.
Some cites were limited to two hours
a day for water supply. Others had
to use the water sparingly. Martins
burg has never been so troubled.
The only inconvenience We suffer is
from break in the main. Then ii
is no longer than it is absolutely nee
essary to repair the pipe.
The conditions have grown to Re
such that it is necessary to do some
thing to abate the nuisance. Forum
ately none of these breaks have occur
red where they interfered with the
use Of water when needed at a fire. II
does not give one the most comforta
ble feeling though, 10 go home at
night and find the water cut off and
big break in the pipe that would
supply the water in case a fire should
break out in his home. Neither is it
a comfortable to know that these old
pipes are liable TO break at any time
and so put the water service out OF
use in case OF fire.
The new bonds for the replacing of
these pipes can not be issued to quick
iy to satisfy the most OF the property
owners. The expense Of repairs say
ed would soon pay for the bonds and
we would have all the protection that
would come with new pipes.

Commenting on the above the
Wheeling News says:
The incident related above has a
special application 10 the smaller
towns. There are many merchants
in such towns who believe that money
spent in advertising is like charity,
because everybody in their territory
knows them and the goods they sell
Yet we venture the assertion that a
large percentage of the business the
mail order houses draw from rural
communities is due to the fact that
the purchaser does not know he can
get the goods as adyantageously from
his home can advertise with the same
proportionate success in his county
paper that the department store gains
by advertising in the CITY papers by
simply telling the people what he has
in stock and what he is charging for
IT.
