Advertising not only brings trade-it
directs trade; it creates trade. Half Of the
customers in any community do not know
all they want until somebody tells them,
and no matter how small may be the COM
munity, no mans tongue, nor any
woman's tongue, can cover the field.
You have something to sell; there is
somebody who needs it; connect that
something with that somebody and there
over, the experience Of every man who has
made success in any line of business or
trade proves beyond doubt that adver-
Using is the only medium which will
bring prospective buyer to the store
when everything else fails to get him
there.
Advertisements are sometimes studied,
but the majority of them are glanced at,
and the glance is what the business man
is after. II the advertisement be so brief
and SO pointed that glance will absor b
the whole Of it, or absorb enoush of it to
make the reader remember it, then the
advertisement has accomplished its whole
mission. One advertisement we'll written
and well displayed, is worth dozen in
differently made-up advertisements. Eff
fective advertising is always distinctive,
sharp, short, pointed, and, above all, orig
inal.
All being equal, the larger the adver-
tisement the more it will be read; but an
attractive, well-written, small advertise
ment will do more good than poorly
written one of three times it size
In advertising, both quality and guam
tity count. especially the former. There
is no department of business which is
handled more poorly than advertising. 1t
is the only department of business which
no man understands perfectly, and which
few men understand well. 1t is the de-
partment of business which needs the
keenest insight, the most careful care
and the most continuous study

LINES
Written on the building Of Mt Desert bridge
Aug. 10, 1881
Since man vas first created,
The waters waves have rolled
And swept along this passage,
obstruet,n g it with shoals.
The fish along were sporting
Amidst the swelling tides,
The savage from his cabin
Across this passage glides.
The groves were dressed in mourning,
Around its flowing banks;
While moose and deer were playing
Their most romantic pranks.
The Indian with his paddle
Did cleaye the flowing stream,
His children with the bubbles.
Amused in childish dreams.
But what has man achieved
Within one hundred years.
The land around is cleared,
The savage disappears.
And now arrest this passage,
Distractions to defeat;
A bridge is now erected,
With workmanship complete.
Made up with stone aud timber,
The waters to defy;
And then. with sand and gravel,
A road is built on high.
Those persons are deserving
Much credit and applause,
Who snatch away this passage,
From neptu mes watery jaws.
May they all be rewarded
For all their toll and pain;
Long may this bridge continue
To bear its builders name.
And when in death they siumber,
This bridge will still remain,
While many q passing stranger
Will ask its builders name.
Until time is TO logger,
This work of art win show
Amidst the tide of waters,
Which ever ebb and fow.
Success to the directors
Who first devised plan
To pisce this bridge across it,
To help their fellowrsan.

Few OF the native residents of
Maine will ever be remembered, their
names hardly be spoken or their me-
mories honored after a century of
years has passed. In the rush of the
high tide of life even few years will
cause their names TO be forgotten
while, as generation of living men is
numbered, and possibly another gene
ration, who among those OF the past
are ever thought of?
1t may be that occasionally the great
name of a Maine man will become a
national heritage and forever pass
down into the coming ages. Yet to-
day how many such names are there
upon the eternal, imperishable record
We attempt to recall them and fail af-
ter one or two such names are fixed
in mind.
One of the names remembered for
100 years, one that will be honored for
100 years to come, name of Maine
man who was always Maine man,
whose life and acts and home were
with rs, whose honorable name will
never be enaced from history's tablet
or from the records OF the nation, is
that of Hannibal Hamlin.
Man of the people, he never forgot
the people from whose ranks he came
sin whose ranks he nonored. Rising
in tlby step from the hills OF old Ok
ing 40 the second highest place with
lows gift of the citizens of this great
ihou,c, he was not elated by high

be remembered when the present
century shall have marked of an

This is why the people OF Maine are
to observe at Paris Hill, on August %,
the centenary of his birth, and to
dedicate tablet to his memory-ft-
ting tribute to the sturdy acts of
character which he exhibited in daily
life, acts as imperishanle as the tablet
on which they will be recorded.
1t will be an occasion that will
mean much to the people Of Bangor,
his home; to the people of our State,
and to those of the nation-the
honoring of son of Maine who rose
from the ranks of the people, who
represented and lived near to them,
people who will never forget him.
Obscurity will cover most of us in
after years; even the best, the richest,
the most favored, the most feted,
those highest in the social scale will
be forgotten. Yet he who, hundred
years hence shall grope among rec
ords Of the past for the name of dis
tinguished son of Maine, will be sure
to find that of Hannibal Hamlin.
