Marshall Field died worth over $780,
600, 600. He was a merchant who sold
the same goods that can be found upon
the shelves of our merchants. His
name is known in every civilized land
and in every community where Chicago
is known. When he began business he
was known only in his city square.
Persistent, intelligent advertising made
his name fortune.

The newspapers Of a town are eX-
pected to represent the town to the
outside world, and to do this creditably
they should carry in their advertising
columns the name of every business
house in the town. The stranger who
picks up the paper and sees but one or
two advertisements of local firms in its
columns naturally supposes that is the
extent Of its business enterprises and
hence will steer clear of so small a
place. The newspapers may howl
themselves hoarse about the great vim,
energy and enterprises of their town.
but unless it is supported by the testi-
monY of local advertising the world
will be slow to accept their statements.
