RAILROADS PAY UP TAXES.
Big Lines, Apparently, Will Not Re-
- open Case.

st. Paul.-The Great Northern and
the Chicago Great Western railroads
apparently will not make any efforts
to reopen the gross earnings tax case
which was decided against them in
the federal supreme court week ago.
Tor both of the roads have paid in
full per cent tax upon their gross
earnings for the year 1909. 1t is ex-
pected that they will pay the back
taxes which were in dispute in the
near future.
The gross earnings of the railroads
In the state show an increase of about
IL percent over 1908. All the roads
nave now reported and paid their tax
except the Burlington and a couple Of
switching roads, which will add about
$4,000 to the $3,619,107.40 already
paid into the state treasury. For the
year 1908 the taxes were $3,155, O27
but, of this, $149,855 was in dispute,
the Great Northern asserting that it
was obliged to pay only per cent
on part of it's line and the Great
Western per cent. The gross earn
lngs for 1909 were $90,477, 686 in the
state in addition to which there is
about 100000 not reported. The
earnings in 1908 were $77,S75,6S1.
These payments leave the state
treasury in excellent condition. The
statement prepared by the treasurer
at the end of the month of February
shows a total of $1,923,451 in the diff
ferent funds, of which $555,174 was in
the revenue fund and all temporary
loans paid.
Road Checks Come In.

received from the Great Northern, a
check of $564,863 from the Northern

Writing Copy

There are two kinds of advertising copy.
One dead message, merely an link and
and paper just mass of words.
The other 'live message'-full of sales
manshp that interests sways, convinces.
When you buy space you only buy the
privilege of advertising.
1t is the copy that goes inside that space
which sells.
In modern advertising, where space costs
as high as S100 word, every paragraph,
every sentence, must tell.
The manufacturer is too close to the pro-
duction.
He cannot look at his product from view
point of the masses. He needs specialist to
choose his selling arguments
Here is where our organization comes to his
assistance.

What An Advertising Agency Does

An Advertising Agency is an organization
of experts maintained by the various publica
tons to assist the business man in preparing
and placing his advertising.
Every business, however small, can have
this organization to attend to the details of
their advertising. For we are paid COM
mission by the various publications, and our
services cost you nothing.
We desire to secure the advertising ac-
counts of those manufacturers and iobbers
who have within them capacity for expand
ing, and WE would like to submit them plans
for creating demand for their articles sold
under uade-rnarked NAME together with
attractive advertising copy and an esti-
mate of rates on the various publications
best suited to their requirements.
You can set this organization to work as
sisting you to build your business.
You can have them attend to all the de
tails of your advertising whether it be news
papers, street cars magazines, farm papers
or bill-boards.
Since the establishment of our agency some
remarkable successes have been achieved
by us.
We more than sold the entire output of
three of our clients increasing the sales of
one of them $50 per cent.
Yet every one of our clients accounts had
previously been handled by other agencies,
whose services were less efficient than ours.
who have never equaled or even approached
our record for results.
We make small charge for writing adver-
tisements for merchants for local papers, but
on State or national campaigns our services
cost nothing.
Our organization is really indispensable to
every concern which advertises

for the illustration is often the life of an
advertisement.
A cheap illustra ton lessons the value of an
advertisement 100 per cent-a good one
strengthens it in proportion.
Some of our drawings are prepared in our
offices, some in the North by we'll known
artists. We allot it to those whom we deem
peculiarly fitted for executing certain styles
of work.
Last season we handled the advertising of
prominent concern, who sell product i'm

The copy proved very effective. The illus
trations were very striking.
In fact, it sold their entire output
The head of the German works paid visit
to America, and was particularly struck with
the series of advertisements we had prepared.
He had copies of them made and sent all
over the world wherever his product was sold,
showing what the Americans can do in the
way of advertising.
This is only one of many high testimonials
our work has received.
