JEFFRIES SAYS STORIES OF
FAKE MALICIOUSLY FALSE

When James ]. Jeffries, the unde-
feated champion arrives in Pendleton
on his own special train from La
Grands, between 6 and Z D. m, he
will certainly be greeted by large
majority of our sport loving people
as well as by thousands of others who
are with him to a finish in his forth
coming battle with the Galveston ne
gro. We are given the most reliable
assurance that Jeffries is working ev-
cry spare hour on his present tour
getting in a condition that on the day
set for this mill he will be able to
meet two or three Johnsons of the
same color.
1t is not on record in the history
of the ring when there has been such
universal feeling to see q man ta-
ken off his high pedestal as in the
present case. The following is a true
statement from Jeffries during his re-
cent visit to Pittsburg, Pa.
Pittsburg. Dec. 5.-"The story
about the coming fight with Johnson
being fixed in advance is not only
false, but maliciously so and l intend
to hunt down the fellow who started
it and give him what is due him,

Hotel this morning, reading in the
Sunday paper that there was a sus-
picion that the big fellows has agreed
TO split the purse, etc.

big fellow. 81 have never faxed the

A Friendly Talk to Dealers About

than goods OF an unknown brand
But you may say: my customers know me
and | explain to them the value of the goods
sold"
Your trade knows that you don't make the
goods They of course believe in your sim
cerity of purpose, because you are an honest
dealer but why take upon yourself the un-
necessary burden of guaranteeing something
you do not make?
Why not leave that part where it belongs
on the manufacturer
You can find quite enough to do in assist
ing customers, understanding what is best for
them and in taking care of the hundred and
one things which keeping store" involves.
You can just as we'll make an asset of the
national advertising which is being done for
goods in your line, and

Chances are a little more than even that
you will serve your customers better by so
doing.
Only the best goods can permanently stand

And right goods and decent service is the
secret of your ultimate success.

good many dealers lose opportunities
for making money through improper use of
advertising forces.
1t is very well to talk about ''your store,"
''your trade" and your customers"
our trade and customers are only yours
after you have done the business-not before
on want customers and can secure them
economically by featuring goods which are
extensively advertised
This is the reason. A national market re-
quires national advertising. The manufac-
turer who is strong enough to advertise prof
itably must first solve good many problems
The most important is right goods
Next'comes right methods of advertising
When Mr.. National Advertiser has mas
tered these two conditions he can produce
certain definite results.
His advertising will stamp the Importance
of his goods on the mentality of the buying
public
Every succeeding ad makes the indentation
a little deeper.
Mr.. Dealer, this is your asset if you make
the right use of your opportunity.
If you talk about advertised goods in your
local advertising, give them prominent dis
play in your stores and kindly word from
behind the counter; you will find that they
can be sold more readily-with less expense
