by Mrs. Cheney that it was probablv

the Courant is somewhat personal In
tone. but none too personal to suit us,
as 1t exposes DR.. Clark in a way we
have hoped he would be exposed by
somebody for his resistance to one
Of the most forward movements OF the
day. She tells the editor that "this
subject is large one, a question OF
great public policy. MOTTO be treated
with a sheer or a horse-lauGh. It is
no Jest, no matter of mere foolish
strife between men and women" and
that 1t is serious to find men using
against their mothers and wives and
sisters the disgusting weapon OF cheap
wit. and discussing with frivolous
sheer a subject which demands delhi

Cheney fires this bombshell into his

ism upon said ad. Following is their

Chicago, Mar. IS, 1911.
Mr.. C. W. Felt.
Nezperce Idaho.
Dear Sir;
This viii acknowledge receipt Of
your letter of March gath enclosing
ad in your home paper. We noted
your invitation to sstear into it and
tell where you could improve. We
haven't the slightest intention to flat
ter you unnecessarily, but the writ
er honestly thinks it is one of the
best that has come to our notice and
we would have hard work to beat it.
There might be few technical
criticisms, but these would apply
only where one had an unlimited
supply of type. There are probably
too many faces of type used, especi-
ally in the head lines. It would be
better if only one style of headline
we're used, but very few job Offices
have a sufficient choice of type to
make this possible.
For selling circular / think it
7ery well laid out and the arrange
nents are good.
Your new trademark, which is
noticed for the first time, is also
rery pleasing and so long as you
an get as good work in advertising
Is is indicated by this ad, and back
t up with good merchandise and
iquare treatment of your customers,
rou need not fear but that success
vill attend your efforts. You are to
,e congratulated rather than CRITICS
d on the advertisement
Sincerely,
