Government investigation not infre-

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

THE trade reviews say that there has
been a full return to normal condi-
tlons. The cooler weather and the
Hudson Fulton celebration are held
.ccounlable for the greatly improved
~ goods situation, wholesale and re-
Ill. in New York.
Dun's Review says:
The industrial and commercial situa-
ION as a whole at the beginning Of
he last quarter OF .he year is that Of
fun return to normal conditions. 1t
easy here and there to discover
naws. for the advance from the latN
depression has been accompanied by
considerable irregularity. but no cs-
.e-tial weakness is disclosed. The
1aule fact Is that most disastrous
lhnanciai convulsion has been followed
lby an extraordinarily rapid recovery
iestifying TO the wonderful recupera-
tive power Of the country. That tho
structure of business IS again sounc
is proved by the statistics Of nin'
months failures, which show liabilitie:
no larger than in the corresponding
nine months Of 1907 before the panic
I Of that year. The Improvement IN the
/ failure record has been most marked II
the last three months. That the ac'
tivity OF business has expanded to ag.
gregates that do not suffer materially b,
icomparison with the best average o
former years is indicated by the banl
exchanges, which in New York dur
ling the month of September were p
per cent. larger than in 1908, pc
cent. larg than in 1906. and outsid'
OF New York we're 1876 per cent. bet
ter than in 1908 and 1874 per cent
than in 1906. The same fact Is re
,orded by the increasing traffic ant
earnings of the railroads, the latte
showing gains of 10 per cent. over 1870
FOR the first three weeks OF Septem
ber and 1.3 per cent. over 1907. Al
parts of the country have shared NOR
OF less in the advance.

Little Talks
on Advertising

q we FIRMLY Believe in the efficacy Of Adver-
tisng and hold that there is no form OF bus-
ness. and least of all retail business, that can
not be made to grow bigger and pay better II
intelgently advertised.
G We firmly believe in high class, truthful
Advertising, and that it is after ALL the only kind
Of Advertising that lasts--that builds and holds
a business.
q We don't for one moment think that just
because we believe in Advertising, that we are
going to convert you at once, il you happen to
be the man who says 20, don't need to Ad-
vcrtise, my business is fair and 1t does not seem
to make any difference when l do advertise

for nothing"
q When a man starts in business the cheap
est thing thrown at him is advice If he does
not take any he is liable TO fail, and If he takes
it all he'll fail anyway. When man his been
in business FIVE, eight or ten years. he ought to
know his own business better than any Adver-
Using man. But when he says 81 don't adver-
tise" he's wrong. He does advertise, or he
wouldn't be there to say it. Step out to the front
of his shop. See that sign over his door isn't that

Advertising? Look at the business cards with
which he provides his statesmen. Isn't that adj

GOf course it is. It's all Advertising and
mighty good Advertising at that. There's just
one thing wrong with it. That sign over the
door IS only read by certain number of peo-
pie. Those letter heads only get before few,
comparatively speaking You could not give
away in a year as many business cards to the
right people, as would be reached by hrst-class

I Right there is the reason, and the only rea
