ADVERTISING TALKS.
tContinued from page ~.

II would look we'll into the
POLICY of the store-go care
fully over every department
and see whether the methods in
vogue could be IMPROVED in
any way.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS are
lasting and generally decide the
future success of any store.
A store with departments
on veniently placed, well
ligh ted, with merchandise
attractively and tastefully ar
ranged, will make GOOD
IMPRESSION on the customer.
If this good impression is
backed up with GOOD MER-
CHANDISE and GOOD SER
VICE, the customer will come
back again, and in addition to
that, will recommend the store
to friends.
If the service is poor and the
merchandise does not bear out
the claims made for it in the
advertising, then no m a t r
how well written the advertis-
ing may be, nor how many
people come to the o e
through its influence, they will
not be PERMANENT custom
ers and the store will not attain
a LASTING success.
So far as ADVERTISING
COPY is concerned, my belief is
that the best advertising copy is
that which gives the reader the
CLEAREST IDEA of what
they will find when they get to
the store.
There is a great advantage in
not RSTATIN G. your
proposition. Give the public a
little BETTER merchandise and
little better service than you
promise, and the results will
more than pay you.

LOCAL FIGHTERS ARE ASKING
LARGER PURSES Than POSSIBLE
EXPECT MORE MONEY HERE THAN THEY WOULD RE-
CElVE IN BOUTS ON THE MAINLAND JACKSON OUT
OF PROMOTING GAME AS WELL AS HALEIWA ROAD
RACES

The fighters in this town now want
so much money to appear in the ring
that there can be no money in pro-
noting. and / am out of the game,
said Nigel Jackson in speaking of the
fight situation in Honolulu as it exists
at present.
Jackson pull; III OF some bouts last
month at the Asahi Theater which
pleased everyone, and he had others
scheduled for next week and some for
February
Everything is all off now, and unless
some other promoter steps forward
likely see no good scraps for some
time.
In talking more fully of the fight sit
uation, Jackson handed out the dope
that the local men wanted too much to
appear in the ring, and We're looking
for a cool hundred. win, lose or draw.
There are few men in the fight game
in Honolulu that are such drawing
cards as to warrant any promoter in
offering such money as that, and Jack
son says they are all looking for big
money since the last bouts
In the preliminary bouts for ordinary
events on the Coast, men who are now
in the game here would get about a
seventy-f five or hundred dollar purse,
divided as was agreed between the two
men before they went into the ring,
Here in Honolulu the men want more
as happened with Bauersocks, they de-
mand the money before they enter the
ring at all
In the fights on the mainland if a
man doesn't get into the game and
fight after going into the ring, he does
not get any money at all.
The ten-round preliminary fought be-
fore the Hyland- Nelson fight "a few
months ago was for a purse of seven
ty-five dollars, fifty for the winner and
twenty i've for the loser.
ldkllS II an over TIE 'ouii'lS' 0e''t
as well as west the purse for six to
ten round go in a preliminary before
anything but championship event
would average about fifty dollars in the
purse.
OF course, in Honolulu the fighters
realize that they have the market cor
nered in a way, and can ask anything
they wish to appear in the ring.
This attitude is what is killing the
moters who have gone into the game
have been up against.
If the men want to fight they must
be willing to accept fair sized purses

To appear in the ring, and the idea o.
dred dollars for Il preliminary event is
nothing but absurd and shows that the
man making such a proposition to 8
promoter is nothing but green at the
game.
Several fight promoters who have
been in the game here in Honolulu say
the same thing, and now jackson Civ
ing up trying to arrange any more
lights adds another to the list of those
who see they can not make anything
by handling the fighters who are max
ing their home in this city
1t is too bad, in a way, that the box
ers are taking this stand. for they are
hurting themselves as well as depriv
ing the fans of the city from seeing
some good bouts.
They all want to fight, but they make
prohibitive terms for an appearance.
In the matter of the HIaleiWa race,
the spirit at present seems to be that
there will be nothing doing in this
event which has been the big one of
the year for the past two seasons.
AT the second meeting called last
week to consider rules to govern the
races of the day, not a single man
showed up. so Jackson has given up all
hope of doing anything in this race.
The Marathon Kid give up the idea
of getting any bouts staged this month
when he decided to promote the benefit
performance of last Saturday evening,
but the attitude now taken by the
fighters to appear at all has put a wet
blanket on the. fight gdNe, for the time
at least.

A GENERAL STRIKE
OF All Transport Workers, Including
Railroad Men, Ordered at Liverpool.

Liverpool, Aug. 14.-The convention
at o'clock tonight declared general
strike of all transport workers, includ-
ing the railway men, who, up to the
last, had refused to go out. The strike
will be effective on all the local steam
boats and the Mersey ferries. Seven
thousand lockers struck tonight at
Birkenhead.
During the day the lockout threat
ened by the shipowners became effec-
tive, and $4,000 men were refused en-
ployment until they decide to abide by
| the terms of recent agreement
| There has been much disorder both
in Liverpool and Birkenhead through
| out the day, and the police We're con-
| stantly in conflict with disorderly
crowds Tonight the plateau in front
| of st. Georges hall, where the rioting
started Sunday, became impossible be-
cause of the great crush of workmen.
| There We're frequent stampedes follow
ing the efforts of the police to dis
perse the crowds.
Several fires. believed to have been
of incendiary origin occurred during
the afternoon. The tension is so great
that the smallest incident might serve
to start trouble.
