final summons came, March II, 1909.
Medical skill and loving care had
ministered to the departed but to no
avail. Kind friends who surrounded
the Almond family as a multitude, en-
tended their tenderest sympathy and
most generous service to the departed
and the bereaved. Many letters of
coincidence and expressions of love
have been received by the mourning
ones. A dray load of floral offerings
arrived from friends in Fargo and
n~eighbors. Here certainly is consola-
ton. But greater comfort comes from
the positive fact that The Boy Fred,
was a most exemplary young man;
honorable, high minded, Industrious
and above all these qualities a most
and dutiful son. And still great
err solace comes to the s~orrowing ones
from the Divine Word, where the
promise of future life is given and the
hope of future meeting of loved ones
held forth in M uncertain terms.

The Cannon That

By Herbert Kaufman.

Business is no longer man to man con-

muscle and sinew decide the outcome. Trade

Just as present day army of heroes would
have no opportunity to display the indiVidnal
valor of its members, just so merchant who
counts upon his personal acquaintanCeship for
success is relic of the pasta business dodo.
Japan changed her policy of exc uson to
foreigners after fleet of warships battered
down the Satsuma Notifications. The Samu-
raj, who had hitherto considered their blades
and and bows good enough, discovered that one
cannon was mghtier than all the swords in
creation il they could not get near enough to use
Them Japan profted by the lesson. She did
not wait until further ramparts we're battered to
pieces, but was satisfied with her one experience
and proceeded to modernize her methods.
The merchant who doesn't advertise is pretty
much in the same position as that in which Japan
stood when her eyes were opened to the tact that
times had changed. The long range publicity of a
competitor will surely destroy your business the
cannon of the foreigners crunbled the walls of Sat-
Unless you take the lesson to heart unless you
realize the Importance of advertising, not only the
means of extending your business but for defending
it we'll, you must be prepared to face the conse-
quences of folly great as that of a dueist who
expects survive in contest in which his adversary
bears a S,voyd tVice the length OF his olv1.
Don't think that it's too late to begin because
there are many which have had the advantage
of years of cumulative advertising. The city is grow

increased trading facilities just it's hungry for
neighborhoods.

Newspaper advertising has eliminated the strength of

have cut out the advantage of being "aronnd the

the columns of the daily newspaper and draw your
next door neighbor to it's ases, while you sit by and
see the people your block enticed away without
your being able to retaliate supply ne7o customers

1t is not a question of your ability to stand the
cost of advertising but of being able snrviue Vioa
