"Miss Patsy"

fAAoS
While the farce Miss Patsy" by
Sewel Collins, may not be technically
perfect, and a little slow in gathering
humorous force. 1t is so permeated with
the personality Of Gertrude Quinlan, and
winds up with such an irresistible burst
of merTiment. as TO come well within the
bounds of healthy. amusing entertain

The play is principally about Miss
Patsy. a companion TO Helen Burrelle

Burrelle particularly. She invariably
succeeds in mixing things. however.
and hence is the prime cause OF most of
the ludicrous things that happen. and
there is a constant succession OF them in
the play. The dash of pathos is added
when she realizes that she has been

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.

MR.. c. H. c. JAGELS is
President OF the HOBOKEN
BOARD OF TRADE. He is
Vice President Of the Second
National Bank of Hoboken. He
is also engaged in the Coal Bust
ness-with coal yards located in
many parts Of Hudson County,
n. ].
He is about forty years old
full of straight as a
string-and a great booster. 1t
follows, therefore, that HE IS
AN ADVERTISER, because no
man can be a good booster if he
is not a good advertiser.
Mr.. Jagels wants his city TO
advertise-just as he decided that
his bank had to advertise if it
wanted to do more business
Just as he knew that his coal
business had TO be advertised if
he wanted it TO grow.
The bank grew, all right-AS
THE RESULT OF THE AID
VERTISING grew fast be-
cause it increased its deposits
over One Million Dollars in a
very short time, and that IS going
some, because Hoboken has a
population OF only about $4,000.
His coal business thrived by
the same process. He and his
brothers started fourteen years
ago with a capital of One Thou
sand Dollars, and to-day-well,
ask anybody in Hoboken about
them, and YOU will be told that
they are worth a great deal OF
money, and everybody will tell
you, too, that nobody envieS them
their prosperity, because they
have always been on the level
and enjoy the CONFIDENCE
of the people in their community.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-10-04

Now, Mr.. Jagels is very anx-
ious about the future prosperity of
his Home City. SO are 240 other
men of Hoboken, his associates on
the Board of Trade. They meet
once a month for the good OF
Hoboken, and between meetings
they work like beavers through
their various committees. They
are doing a great work. Ho-
boken IS on the list to advertise.
Mr.. Jagels said one thing 10
me before a recent meeting OF
the Board OF Trade-something
that pleased me very much-it
showed that he is a man of the
right sort.
In speaking Of how his coal
business succeeded through ad-
vertising, he referred to the first
horse he bought. He said: That
horse cost me $315-about one
third OF our entire capital. He
was a fine horse. He did his
work well. Now he is too old 10
work, and I have pensioned him
for the balance Of his life. He
has every care, and viii have as
long as he lives"
Wouldn't it be fine for employ
ers to pension employees who
have rendered good service when
they grow too old TO be OF fur
Their use?
Note-After Mr.. Jagels' bank
secured such a noticeable in
crease in deposits, THE OTHER
HOBOKEN BANKS DISCOV-
Erred THAT ADVERTISING
WAS A GOOD THING. They
are all advertising now, some in
newspapers and magazines and
street cars, and they are all sue
cessful.
Banks in any community can
obtain results from newspaper
advertising.

The aughable hit is made by Mrs.
Gardner Crane & Co. in an entirely
novel sketch. The Little Sunbeam" The
scene is laid in the interior OF Pullman

getting up Just as the train is pulling into
Chicago. There is a cleverly told story,
bright dialogue, and good acting The
little play is a roar of laughter from be-

admission alone.
The bill opens with DeRenEo and La

some limitations that evoke laughter. The
