The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1910-07-26

The greatest newspaper voting con-
test ever held in western New Jersey
and eastern Pennsylvania will come to
close at ten o'clock P. NJ, Saturday,
July 80. Successful from the begin
ming the Records great tour contest
has developed from day to day until
it has grown into one of the greatest
and most interesting events that has
taken place in this section for many
years. Promptly at ten O'Clock on
Saturday evening, or as soon thereafter
as possible, the ballot box will be given
over to the judges who will have charge
of it at the close of the contest and
who will make the count Of the votes
and announce the winners. The judges
who have been selected to make the
final count are three of the most PROM
inent and business men in the COM
munity and will be gladly accepted by
the contestants and public when their
names are announced in Fridays paper.
The race has been spirited from the
very outset, though none but the best
of feeling has existed between the vari-
Gus fair contestants, and of this fact all
connected with the Record are proud,
as it denotes in a clear and striking
manner the high character of the body
of popular and representative Young
ladies who are participating
In the closing hour the probable re-
suit in most of the districts is impossi-
BILE to forecast with any degree OF GER
tainty, as the reserve strength of many
of the contestants is as yet known only
to themselves. Suffice it to say that
these last days are days Of action with

HOW BIG SHOWS ADVERTISE

Big railroad shows are conducted
with wonderful system nowadays,
more SO than any one would dream of
were he not given an insight into
their workings. They, like the rail-
roads and all great corporations. are
conducted on perfect busin ess lines,
and neither the railroads or other
corporations have anything ION
them" when it comes to perfection in
business methods or results. Unlike
the days of old, their present advance
system, too, is unique and fascinating
to follow by close observer. There
is an immense territory to cover and
stupendous amount of work to be ac
complished daily, with constant
race againt time. The general agent,
who plans and watches everything III
advance, the railroad contractor, who
chooses only good towns and routes
the show, and the local contracting
agents are all on the skirmish line, as
it were. and each in turn helps TO
pave the way. Then the real fighting
machines, like the famous army in the
huge wooden horse of Troy-the pa
latial advertising cars, each loaded
with men-the fighting men-come
booming into town. Advertising
cars-it costs mint to run them
with their able, clear-headed man
ayers, clever newspaper men, and a
corps of bill posters, Programmes.
route riders and photographers, all ex-
perts, with tons of beautiful printing,
pictures, etc., in endless variety, and
"boom" the battle is on! So great,
as rule, is the result and so COM
pletely do they enthuse the people,
both in city and rural districts, that
before the last wave of interest and
| excitement has receded, the show has
! arrived. Then labor of all kinds and
shopping has largely ceased, schools
often closing for the day at least. that
all may enjoy holiday (part of the
sights are free. too,) which, if not
granted, would be taken, anyway, SO,
"why not, Bill?'
So powerful magnet, indeed. has
this advertising, in it's clever and di-
versitied forms, proven in this coun
try, that chronic loafers and town
pariahs have been known to hunt
work to earn show money, and there
have been instances where shiftless
people have pawned household arti-
cles of value to "raise" the price of a
couple of tickets. The people will go,
| that's cinch. Do the shows deserve
it? That's a question. Some do,
that's an axiom. These latter are the
educational ones, the clean ones, the
good ones. Such shows are always
we'll patronized end justly so. There
is one now advertised to show here.
It is Jones Bros. Buffalo Ranch Wild
West and is to show at Lambertville,
N. j., on Monday, August 1st.

the determination Of the farmers to

It told of the remunerative business
of the merchants, particularly those
who sold Injuries such as jewelry
and toys during the holidays.

deposits of 1906, the most prosper
GUS year this section has ever known.
The Clarion did not have the figures

far when it made the statement that
the comparison was favorable.
In 1906 as said before the food
