"'Tention," orders Captain Charles,

and Cupid does a hundred yards in
about five seconds.

command. ami the dog marches sol.

Captain Charles, ]whereupon Cupid
sits up and tries to look like a drum,
mer reading the sporting edition of
ID afternoon newspaper.
Then slowly Captain Charles calls
off the names Of the stations between
Weehawken and West Point.
"Englewood. West Nyack, Haver-
straw. Iona island, Highland Falls"
Cupid pays no attention.
West Point?" shouts the captain.
Cupid jumps UP, emits a loud bark,
and runs down the steps into the yard
just as he would do in alighting from
q train.
OF course, Capid can walk on his
hind legs. he can play dead dog" he
can beg for his food, and do all the

UNCONSCIOUS ADVERTISING
Every Merchant and Business Man
Does IL In Some Form or Other
Says Mr.. Van Camp.

Writing in the New York CONNER
cial, Frank Van Camp, of baked beam
fame, says:
When a man ~advertises he is
generally supposed to use ewspapers,
magazines, street car signs, ~billboards,
wall signs or circulars, or to demon
strate, or distribute samples.
In my opinion, every business man.
either retailer, jobber or manufactur-
er, adVertises, but many of them are
apparently unconscious Of the fact.
"A retailer could save rent by hav-
ing his store in a back alley, but
wishing to attract the attention Of a
greater number of people. he locates
on a prominent street and charges
the excess rent to general expenses
rather than to his advertising account,
where 1t properly belongs. When q
merchant moves from a side street to-
e prominent th~oroughfare, 1t Is be-
cause he wants to advertise. When a
merchant puts a sign over his door
or uses a show window to display HIS
wares, he is advertising. When the
clerk behind the counter displays
goodsstha have not been asked for by
the prospective customer, he is adver-
Using. The merchant who removes
his business from the country village
to the county seat, the man who
move from the county seat to the
city, the manufacturer who increases
his sales force from one man to ten,
the man who extends his business
from the local field to his state, from
a state to the national market, has in
mind the extension of his field of OPP
Grafton, the seeing and talking with
more people-in other words, adver-
Using.
Il say again, every merchant and
manufactures advertises and believes
in advertising, as without 1t in some
form no business could survive for a
year.
ANY kind of an announcement by
a merchant or a manufacturer that he
has merchandise for sale or trade In
advertising, but the announcement
may be good, bad or Indifferent, and
may be profitable or Improbable"

power Of Advertising.

Mainly through the efficacy of al
little advertisement in a Hartford
newspaper two long separated BROTH
ers have been reunited after the lapse
of sixty years. The principals in the.
reunion are Rev. DIR. Edgar +. Clark
of Providence, r. l., formerly of Taun-
ton, and Edwin Clark of Butte, Mont.
who is now e~ighty-one years old. Early
in this year the western miner res
tired from business and began to.
think of his old home and his family.
Then he inserted the advertisement.
which was seen by some of his former
acquaintance and forwarded to the
clergyman at his summer home at
Martha's Vineyard.

AD-ISMS.
Advertising is fine jnsI,r-

Advertising is the insur-
a1ce which the shrewd
merchant carries to pre-
vent the disturbance of his
business by the sudden ap-
pearance of a competitor
in his field. By his adver-
Using ne has led the people
to form the habit OF buying
at his store. Habits are
not so easily broken up as
some may imagine. By his
advertising he has also ex-
banded the volume of his
business, so that the ap-
pearance of a competitor
has less effect than il
otherwise might have. A
new competitor may be
able to get a few of the
merchants customers, but
cannot reach that great
mass of them who have
been patrons through years
as a result of his wide ad-
vertising.

Advertise your goods where

1t Is commonly thought that adver-

makes some people rich and some
poor, whereas. in my opinion. the
term advertising was merely coined
