Gems of Wit Wisdom and Eloquence
KING GEORGE Nv. OF ENGLAND.
BY WILLIAM MAKEPEACE rHACKERAY.

Trueftt's best nutty brown wigs reek-

] know Of no sentiment that he ever
distinctly uttered. Documents are
published under his name. but people
wrote them-private letters, but peo-
pie spelled them. He put great
George p or a George X. at the bot
tom of the page and fancied he had
written the paper; some bookseller
clerk, some poor author, some man did
the work, saw to the spelling, cleaned
up the slovenly sentences and gave
the lax maudlin slipslop sort OF con.
sistency. He must have had an In
dividuality; the dancing master whom
he emulated, nay, surpassed-the wig
maker who curled his toupee for him
the tailor who cut his coat, had that.
But, about George, one can get at
nothing actual. That outside i am
certain is pad and tailors work; there
may be something behind, but what!
We canno' get at the character; no
doubt, never shall. Will men OF the
future have nothing better TO do than
TO unswathe and interpret that royal

To make a portrait OF him at first
seemed a matter of small difficulty
There is his coat, his star. his wig,
his countenance simpering under 1t:
with a slate and piece OF chalk
could at this very desk perform
recognizable likeness or him. And
yet, after reading OF him in scores or
volumes, hunting him through old
magazines and newspapers, having
him here at ball. there at a public
dinner, there at races and so forth, you
find you have nothing-nothing but
coat and a wig and mask smiling
below it-nothing but a great simula-
crum. His sire and grandsires were
men. One knows what they were
like: what they would do In given cir
-cumstances; that on occasion they
fought and demeaned themselves like
tough good soldiers. They had friends
whom they liked, according to their
natures; enemies whom they hated
fiercely: passions. and actions, and
Municipalities of their own.
The sailor king who came after
George was a man: the duke OF York

cursing, courageous. But this George.

ADVERTISING TALKS.


this purpose in order to recon-
mend their products.
This outlay must naturally
be added to the value Of the
goods, and can only be recovered
by compelling the public to pay
a higher price for them.
Instead of this, we find that
to raise the standard of our
goods by improving their quality
is by far the best means of max
ing them known and appreci-
ated.
Eve therefore do not hesitate
to say to our Customers:
Compare all our articles with
those of first-class Perfumery
Houses and you will recognize
that, at the same price, ours are
superior"
The above is quoted from a
circular issued by French man.

The saddest part Of the whole
thing is that he makes very fine
goods-but ONLY COMPARE
lively FEW PEOPLE KNOW
ABOUT THEM. And only a few
will ever know about them as
long as the attitude toward adj
vertising, as indicated above, is
maintained.
Does it cheaper the goods OF
TIFFANY because they are ad,
vertised?
Are the qualities and standing
of the STEINWAY PIANO i'm.
paired by advertising?
Does advertising add or de.
tract from the worth of the
PEERLESS AUTOMOBILE?
We could mention hundreds OF
other products of the highest
grade, whose prices have become
standard in keeping with their
quality. These products have
been ADVERTISED EXTEN.
SIVELY, but the cost Of adver.
Using was not added to the
prices set upon. them nor have
the, goods been cheapened to
take care of the advertising.
ADVERTISING, by creating
a wider market for high-grade
products, has the opposite ten
dency in relation to price.
This has been proved so con-
clusively in so many instances
that it is hardly worth while
treating the subject exhaustive
ly now.
We are only sorry there is not
a bigger American market for
the estimable soap manufac-
tured by this French concern.
