so 1T WAS DECIDED TO
ADVERTISE.
The advertising was good
but the article did not take-the
public did not want it. The
manufactures spent $4,000 be-
fore he was convinced that his
article would not be received by
the public.
Then he abandoned all idea of
continuing it's manufacture. HE
REGARDED ADVERTISING
AS THE SUREST way of max
ing the TEST and the least ex-
pensive. He was satisfied to
learn at so small a cost.
The concern manufactures
other articles that are success
full. When a new idea comes
along for consideration and it
looks>good, it is worked out, but
before great expense is incurred
advertising will be employed to
test its value. After all, the
people are judges of our efforts.
Another manufacturer-from
upper New York state also
with ideas of his own, manufac-
tured line of underwear that
he felt sure the public would
buy.
He told an advertising agent
that he wanted to spend a little
over $4,000 in country, weeklies.
A list of weeklies was prepared
the manufacturer contracted
with the agent-paid over the
money and the advertising
started.
Only $4,000 was spent and
the factory was so busy getting
out enough underwear to MEET
THE DEMAND that the balance
of the advertising fund has
been held over until the second
year.
This manufacturer, however,
was willing to pay out over $780,
900 to test his product-but he
wanted to test it in his own way,
and he did and he was success
full.
Both manufacturers-the one
who lost and the one who gained
are satisfied.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 6, IL.
Dear Dad: Special Privilege mem
bers OF the senate have seized upon
the reciprocity treaty as means 70
sidetrack the Lorimer case and the
resolution providing for direct cleo
ton OF United States senators. IL
Is generally admitted that there 10 no
chance to secure legislation along the
lines of the proposed Canadian re-
ciprocity agreement, but 1t is believed
that public attention may be diverted
from the Lorimer case and the sen
ate involved in a sufficient wrangle
over reciprocity to save Lorimer and
avoid a roll call on these other en-
barrassing matters.
THE idea that subordinate should
be loyal rather to the interests OF q
superior than to the interests OF the
government" says Senator Purcell OF
North Dakota, lis one which has been
brought forward by Mr.. Ballinger
since he became a member OF the
cabinet Owing to this idea the coun-
try has lost the services of men whom
Il will be difficult or impossible to
replace. no more TYPICAL fhtiOn
OF this attitude can be mentioned than
the Official condemnation of Frederick
NJ. Kerby, who revealed the existence
OF a paper which II was to the inter.
ests OF his government to produce, but
to the interests of his superiors 10
suppress. That this paper was the
property OF the people of the United
States and that its production was
called for by a joint committee OF the
senate and the house OF represents
tives made no difference to Mr.. Bal
linger II does not appear to have oc'
CURED to these men that their act IN
refusing TO comply with the demands
of the joint committee by producing
the Lawler letter was In itself an act
of direct disobedience and insubordir
alton. Kerby realized that he was
primarily not the employe OF Secre
tary Ballinger but OF the government
and the people of the United States
and sworn to protect their interests
He was faithful to his employers and
to his oath OF ONCE, and forced the
production OF the LAWYER letter"
Thus, at a rather late day, In the
