The fundamental requisite for sue
cessful advertising is truth.
ANY business that deserves to sue
coed will succeed most rapidly with
proper advertising.
Proper advertising reduces the cost
OF doing. thus benefitting the con-
sumner by reducing prices.
Advertising is the most economic
form OF salesmanship.
The advertising columns of news
papers and other publications should
be even more careful edited than
the reading matter.

HERE is ONE ON
THE NEWLY WEEDS
How IS this for a good ONE?

A young married couple from Can
on City went east on their honey
moon. 1t was delightful trip with
lost" pocketbook containing con-
siderable sum OF money. That is.
Newlywed thought he lost" it. He
couldn't find it anywhere and hadn't
the least idea where he had put 1t
He advertised extensively but to no
avail.
II now turns out that he had not
lost" his pocketbook but the indica-
tons are that he had lost" his head
for a few days after he returned to
Canon the lost" billbook was f. und
between two mattresses on the bed
where the young man and wife had
slept
This is what the paper in the town
where the episode occurred had to
say about the matter:
Some weeks ago we published
Lost" ad, stating that a bill book con-
tanning a draft and a sum OF money in
currency had been lost in Dresden
No reply came to this advertisement
and We of the Transcript rather
thought we had lost our cunning. or
that some person had found the wal
let and failed to return it.
But. some days ago we learned that
our efficacy as an advertising medium
had not been impeached. and we are
able to state that the purse was lost
and vet not lost. To explain. we will
say that the purse was the property
OF young married couple enjoying
their honeymoon and the itinerary
included Dresden where they came to
visit relatives Of the young and hap
py sroom. 4 day or so after their
arrival in Dresden the money could
not be found. Then the Lost ad ap-
peared. but in vain. and after several
days the newly welded resumed their
travels thinking without doubt. that
the purse. and contents. had gone be-
yond recall. Matters stood that way
until 4 few days ago when the people
of the house where these folks visit
ed in Dresden removed the bottom
nattress from the bed in the room
occupied by the young couple, and
there was the bill book. just as it
had. in all probability, been tucked
away by the groom for safe keepir
This could hardly happen with folks
married and settled down. but could
easily happen as il did with this
younc couple enthralled in n blisSful
existence rs exemplihed in happy
honeymoon, and folks have no time.
or thought. TO give TO financial mat
tiers ut such time, Later on when
married folks settle down to the rou-
tine OF double-harness-life they never
have money enough at one time to
warrant such preeaution as was used
in this case. Usually the cash re-
sources are known Mt all times down
to the last penny. and the where
ret TO both the man and his better
half Sometimes the man eongratu-
lates himself that he has dollar
safely hidden in his hip pocket or
stuck in the lining of his vest. but
he has little room to build up such
assurance.
At least we are told, that such Is
| usually the case. by some OF our
friends who have once OF twice de-
luded themselves into thinking that

Players who have suffered broken

Matty Mcintyre OF the Detroit team Is
a recent example of this truth. Evers
believes his ankle Is just as strong az

Murphy are trying TO think the Same
way, but they don't intend taking any
chances, hence the securing of Shean.
Another rumor Is that Evers Is not

Chicago players, that the team as a
