 The somewhat mysterious disappearance of a drummer, who was in this city a few days ago, has created some interest here The drummer in question is A. Krob, who travels for a New Orleans millinery house. MT. Krob was here two or three days ago and registered at the McLester hotel It seems that he left his rooms and has not returned, although all of his belongings are still at the hotel The house for which he travels was noti- fled and man dispatched here to take charge of his trunks of display goods, etc. No one saw Krob after a certain time several days ago and he has not put in his appearance at New Orleans, where he lives and has wife and two children The drummer had often made this place and was well liked here. No reason for his sudden departure has come to light nor has any clew as to his whereabouts. There has been some talk of his meet ing with an accident or foul play, though nothing tending to prove such specu- lation has developed.

The report that Ensley will only get two aldermen is causing some dissatisfac- ton. as many people believe they should have received more It will be difficult matter to fill the positions, as much time will be required in attending to the af- fairs of the city.

Inc growers have a natural COM
munity OF interest, for the name Ha-
Wal1an is natural monopoly, an en-
forced, exclusive trademark. They
need only advertise Hawaiian as an
index to good pineapple, and they
build up their prestige mutually.
For three months this magazine
campaign has been running, and with
the result that jobbers are cabling and
worrying about shipments, and there
remains no shadow of doubt as to
what is to be done with the 400. 600
cases. The result of the advertising
has astonished even the most optimis-
tic or the growers A six months
campaign was planned, and though it
is but half completed, the results are
as pronounced as the optimistic ones
expected of the whole six months
campaign. Not a case could be pro-
cured from any New York city brokers
| recently.
The advertising campaign began in
! January, with full and half pages in
such periodicals as the Ladies' Home
! Journal, Saturday Evening Post, Wom-
ans Home Companion, Youths Com
| panion. Delineator, Everybody's. Mum
| sey's, McClure's, Outlook, Sunset,
Overland Monthly, Pacific Monthly,
| Good Housekeeping. Harpers Bazaar.

Boston Cooking School Magazine,
Ladies World.
| A booklet was issued, well illus
trated with suggestive pictures of

| it in the three forms sold-sliced,
| grated and crushed-and 100000 of
them were distributed at the request
! of either jobbers, retailers or consum-
ers, within a very short time. A new
| edition of 100000 more is being gotten
! out.
A large sheet showing the ads run
ming in the magazines, and arguing
| for stocking in the line, was sent to
| $780, 900 dealers, and the response was
promptly felt.
Previous to the advertising campaign
a dozen jobbers in the United States
We're selling from 5000 to 10000 cases
a year-with no advertising to help
! them. This showed that there was a
! healthy natural demand which could

nounced liking for it.
The Hawaiian Pineapple Growers
| Association does not advertise any one
brand-there are still some of it's prod
ucts being sold by jobbers with their
| own brands on them. But they are all
| labeled Hawaiian" however insight
| icantly and the idea is to develop de-
| mand for Hawaiian pineapple, as dis
| tinct from any other.
/ The association is made up of eight
growers and packers, and the adver-
| Using campaign in the magazines has
demonstrated so much that it is very
| likely to be kept up permanently.
| The success of this campaign is most
convincing proof of the efficacy of the
magazines in creating demand and
marketing goods very expeditiously
Previous to the campaign the national
distribution was very uneven and re-
luctant. But three months of adver-
Using effort was necessary to stfmu-
! late the trade to real activity. Jos
