equal to the task.
In the second act showing the
cabin Of the girl, a realisti- snow
storm was introduced. Miss Madge
IHaller appeared as the "GtrI" and
Mr.. Petit as the Road Agent, who
makes ali the trouble. These are
the parts that were originally play
ed by Bianeh Bates and Robert Hill
Hard. Both the local delentators OK
these dinicuit roles did exceedingly
well especially Ia the strong scene
LOT the second act. Mr.. Campbell
was the Sheriff and his work was as
usual first class In every respect and
Thoroughly convincing and foreeful.
Miss Hareourt was again cast for q
humorous part and while there was
mot much OF It she certainly made
the most OF 1t and evoked plenty OF
laughter. Miss Davy wal seen In q
part that though It was small was
vSgy nicely done, the indian girl.
Her make up was very good in
deed. Mr.. Lasaile naas . good u
press detective and Mr. Waters and
Mr.. Hartford appeared to good adj
vantage.
The play is one that should at

A commonly accepted belief is that
years II which presidential elections
are held are periods of business de-
preston and one frequently hears now
adays expressions of doubt as to wheth-
er 1912 viii be a prosperous year for
business because a president is to be
elected. says the Iron Trade Review
Examination rs to the facts concerning
business conditions during presidential
years is therefore of interest at the
present time.
George II. Hull. in a book issued
entitled Industrial Depressions," prints
a diagram showing the presidential
election years and years of industrial
depression for 1912 to 1908. This dia-
gram shows that during that period
there have been 10 years of industrial
depression and that they have come
at the same time as presidential years
only twice, namely in 1896 and IN 1900
when" says Mr.. Hull. the presiden-
tial election affects the industries at
all. it is either a short-lived effect like
the case of 1896. when the cause is
known to everyone. or it is 50 moderate
an effect as to be fully covered by the
common remark that they are off
years. Mr.. Hull also points out that
presidential elections were not the
cause Of the contemporaneous depres-
sion in the four other industrial ma
tons. observations of other students Of
industrial conditions do not. however.

I'D YER TXSTWG TALKS
BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

I was recently asked to address the
Newark IN. j., Association of Credit
Men. 1 accepted the invitation because I
know a great many people in Newark and
for the further reason that. on principle,
1 have a wholesome respect for Jersey
men.
Ibid not know what an advertising man
could say to credit men, but during the
evening it developed that credit men are
very much interested in merchants who
advertise.
They have the impression-and it is
community who advertise regularly,
persistently, honestly-who build up
business founded on the confidence of the
community entitled to credit, even
though their financial rating is not very
high.
So the subject I selected for my talk
Better Than Credit Is Confidence
seemed to fit in all right.
1t is a fact which nobody can deny that
credit is often extended to people whom
we do not really trust-that is to say,
they have the collateral to justify giving
them credit, but that is all they have.
The merchant in a community who ad-
vertiseS and plays fair with his custom
ers, giving them good service and good
merchandise, thereby gaining the conf
dence of all of the people who deal with
him, has difficulty in getting all the
credit he wants from the reliable manu-
featuring concerns of the country.
| know a merchant who started in bust
ness a few years ago, with very little
capital, and he was able to get credit be-
cause he had a good name and reputa-
ton
He has always played the game square
ly-his advertising is straightforward, and
the public knows that what he says in
his advertising can be depended upon,
consequently he has succeeded
The merchant who tells the public what
he has to sell-who gives good value for
the money spent with him, gains the con-
fidence of the purchasing public so he is
always able to keep his store well stocked
with the products of reliable manufac-
turers, because these manufacturers want
the business of the progressive, alert, ad-
Vertising merchant.
ITO he continued

The man of 80 you meet when you

New York who has only one name.
And he IS proud of it. Why? Be
cause his parents never named him,
it being the whim of his father to
allow him to choose his own name
when he so desired Never having
had a first name he has never missed
one, and 33 years having elapsed
without any discomfort on his part
he does not propose to choose one at
this late date.
And really it's great economy His
business and calling cards, for in
stance, cost much less than those OF
any other citizens. 1t doesn' [ take
nearly as long to write his name, and,
more important than everything else,
the idiosyncratic name makes people
remember him. There are only five

them are his first cousins Henry n.
