ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM c. FREENAN.
No. 629.

There are many merchants,
even in these enlightened days,
who still cling to the idea that if
they advertise they will have to
increase the cost Of their mer-
chandise.
Such a belief is absurd, of
course, and it has been DIS
PROVED time and again, but it
still prevails to some extent.
"BATTEN'S WEDGE" print
ed an article on this subject re-
cently-really a good advertis-
ing sermon-which is reprinted
here in the hope that it will
bring its lesson directly home to
the merchant who does not ad-
vertise:

SCHULTZ HANGS ON.
Hasn't Yet rendered Resignation A.
School Inspector.

The Seventeenth ward is today
without a representative on the board
OF education. Inspector Herman
Schultz legally ceased TO be a mem
ber Of the board when he took his
seat as member of the new COM
mon council, Tuesday night. He has
not rendered his resignation as school
inspector to Mayor Thompson as yet,
however, and the mayor, therefore,
has no official knowledge that va
cancy exists on the board. Under the
law 1t would, OF course, be impossible
for Schultz to hold both Offices at the
same time. The next. regular meet
ing of the board will be held Thurs
day night. Mayor Thompson may
name Schultz's successor, Thursday,
If Schultz's resignation Is forthcom-
ing. Otherwise he may wait tor a
week or two. There Is little likeli-
hood that he will leave the place va
cant until the spring elections.
