though business in the cloth market gen.

slightly improved during the week. while
printing and finishing cloths also were
sold in moderate quantities at prices a
shade higher. Large contracts are still

Can Your Advertising Agent
Outsell ALI the Rest?

But what do they all matter when compared
with results?
Our only claim is that we outsell all others
We have proved it to hundreds. We can prove
it to you.
This fact is so certan-so invariably true
that we handle advertising without any contract
whatever. We rely solely on results to keep it.
That is why our Copy Chief is paid ST, 900
per week. That is why each of our brilliant
men holds the place he holds.
Working together-as they do-they can
sell more goods per dollar spent than any other
men in existence.
Suppose these claims are facts. And sup
pose they apply to you.
Suppose these men, at the same expense
could bring twice the results you are getting.
How much would it mean?
There is a way to find out-easily, quickly
and certainly.
It can be done without any commitment on
your part, and without disturbing your present
agency connections.
The answer will be clear and final. It may
be worth thousands of dollars to you. And it
may be worth millions. That depends on the
article advertised.
If you are interested, ask US to explain the
way.

This is the vital question.
Advertising agents are bad. better or best,
according to their selling ability.
Nothing else matters at all.
Advertising has only one purpose. 1t is
done solely to sell the goods.
IF ads can be written to sell tenth more
than yours, you are wasting tenth OF your
money. You are losing tenth OF your sales.
Suppose you could hire the best salesman
you know at the price of tyro. Which man
would you take?
In advertising you can do exactly that.
High-class agents, whether good or poor, all
charge the same commission.
Ads that sell the utmos cost no more to
insert than ads that sell nothing at all.
Getting the best is not question of price,
but of shrewdness.
Your degree of success depends entirely on
your selection of salesmen-in-print.
We solicit business solely on the basis of
results.
We might talk age. for this agency is SO
years old.
We might talk size, for we have outgrown
all rivals.
We might talk buying power. influence.

Freaks of Fashion.

From judSe.
 Fashion has been very kind the past winter to the women residing in the northern states. The large-muff fad has enabled many a woman to utilize the old fur rug that was fast becoming moth eaten in the closet or attic All that was necessary was few hooks and eyes to join tho ends of the rug and, behold! there was creation" such as appeared in the store windows of those places that advertise as being where fashion reigns." By another strange freak women have been able to save the cost of belts and girdles by using old bracelets and arm ornaments with their new tube gowns. Husbands are especially delighted over the amount of money they saved because of the economy of their wives in these two instances.

Before customer could see the guillotine work he had to part with a penny, and was given a cigar In exchange. An execution in all its details then took place.

Did ! ever tell you about my mu-
steal daughter? Well, she plays
nearly every instrument except the
wash board. She says the technique
is too difficult.
BY the way, the poet says music
is the food of love, which explains
why, as another poet says, love en-.
dures.
She started out her musical stud
les by keeping time on the piano
while / was keeping the piano on
time. And now she is so musically
developed that she eats peas with
tuning fork.
She's cost me a lot of money,
but think some day she will make
her mark. Until then l suppose l
will continue being the mark.
Sometimes she sings, but she
doesn't sing popular songs. If she
did, they would become unpopular
at once.
We'd send her abroad to study.
but we have no way OF keeping her
there.
She's helpful, however, my
daughter is. She tried to teach my
youngest boy to perform on the
cymbals, and now he is cymbal-
minded.
She reads music at sight, and
can't pass music store without
wearing smoked glasses. But when
she plays, she plays by ear. We
have to stuff cotton into her ears
to make her stop.
Sometimes she says she could
just die singing, but her vitality is
very, very disappointing.
Sometimes I get the musical few
er myself. For instance, at the
weekly prayer meetings I pump the
