Little Talks
on Advertising

q You wouldn't think that when the farmers
bring their wagon-loads Of garden truck into
the city every Wednesday and Saturday NOR
ming and line them up along King and Madison
streets that it would affect advertising, would
YOU? Well it does.
q On Tuesdays and Fridays, the days previous
to market days. you will find the papers carry
almost twice as much advertising as at other
times And on Wednesday and Saturday the
merchants do the most OF their business of the
week.
q When the good lady Of the house takes her
basket on Wednesday and Saturday mornings
and goes to market, she makes other purchases
also, so it has come to be an established custom
among merchants TO regard these two days as
the big business days of the week and on the
other days there is practically nothing doing
Q There is not a merchant in this city who
would not rather have a good business every
day of the week. but so much does he bow down
to custom that he accepts things as they are and
only advertiscs on Tuesday and Friday.
a One of tin, first OF the large stores to make
attempt to get away from this and who has
made a success of it is Lippincott Mr. Horner,
the advertising manager. instituted what he calls
Diamond Day. with special prices for every
Friday He advertses this Diamond Day
every Thursday and succeeds in bringing the
people to his store on Friday also, well as on
"Wednesday and Saturday
Q This goes to show YOU that you bring
the women folks to your place on other days
than market days. You need the business every
day; why not advertise every day?
G Another house that has succeeded in doing
this is the firm of Topkis. They have method
of advertising that brings results They talk
prices and their "ads" are good plain statements
Of what they have to sell and what they will sell
it at This firm is an example of what DC
accomplished by advertising steadily. They
started with a small store on King street, and
their advertising, while small was regular. The
results arc plain to-day

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
SOUTH HAPSWELL, Maine, Sept
27--Stirred TO action by the near APP
proach Of Harry Whitney to civiliza
ton. Commander Peary left this morn

bility of Immediately launching his

remain in Bar Harbor at least over to-
morrow. Whether his charges will

soon go to New York, Peary said:
"The Roosevelt sailed from Eagle
Island for New York lost night. When
she passes Sandy Hook / shall bo on
the b. lge. and when she docks 1 shall
tell the people Of New York that the
man who found the pole Is standing on
tine bridge Of the Roosevelt"
As to Harry whitney's accusation
by wireless that Peary forced him 10
declare that none of Cooks belongings
were in his baggage when he was
taken aboard the Roosevelt, Pcary
would say nothing except that Whit
ney's accusations would not help Cook
He also refused to discuss the state
ment that Whitney had left the Roose-
Welt for the Jennie only because he was
forced to do so. His only statement
was.
II have this to say. Cook did not
reach the pole. I am prepared to
leave the verdict with the world When
I finish with DR.. Cook 1 will have
proved, as l have before stated, DIR.
Cook never reached the North Pole
No further expression of moment
could be CLEANED from the crew of the

.ehcc to Cooks claims. Mat Hansen

Of Cook, but did not get beyond that
point. Borup also, when interviewed
was non-committal. lie simply said:
Il want 90 tell you that Whitney was
aboard for three or four days, and he
never said anything The pole was
found. Peary found it. And / have
