This company has been mod
crate users of newspaper space
in the past two or three years.
Early this year, after a discus
sion between L. B. TIM, Presi-
dent of the Company; H. S.
IS T E R N B Err G, advertising
agent, and the writer, it was
decided to place IS per cent OF
THE APPROPRIATION IN
NEWSPAPERS in cities where
Gotham Underwear had dis
tribution, the balance to be ex-
pended in general publicity.
This plan was followed care
fully during the season Of 1911,
and the result has been a great
er business for the Gotham
Company than ever before.
To stimulate the dealers in
terest in the advertising the
Gotham Company offered a
number of prizes for the BEST
ADVERTISEMENTS that the
dealers themselves placed in the
local newspapers advertising
Gotham Underwear, and also
prizes for the best window dis
plays.
All of the dealers who adver-
tised in local newspapers,
BACKING UP THE ADVER-
Using DONE BY THE
GOTHAM COMPANY in the
same papers, submitted some
very excellent and convincing
advertisements.
In deciding the awards these
points were considered-first,
ACCURACY OF STATEMENT );
second, the PROMINENCE
given to the Gotham trade
mark; and, third, the typo
graphical effect.
Elk AG G Err A ED AN
INDUCEMENTS WE'RE NOT
CONSIDERED AT ALL!
1t is interesting to record that
the first prize went to Barth &
Meyer, Oklahoma City, which is
another instance of the fact that
the smaller communities of the
United States are paying a great
deal of attention to advertising
copy.
MANUFACTURERS of all
products, everywhere, WILL

PER A POWERFUL AID in the
building of their business.

MExICANs STILL OWN ROAD.
President Brown Denies Reported sale
to New York Bankers.

st. Louis, Mo, Aug. S.-President e
M. Brown of the NationNI Railways of
Mexico arrived in the city from New
York over the Pennsylvania Mr.
Browns attention was called to dis
patches from Mexico intimaring that
the control of the Mexican merger
lines had passed from the Mexican
government to syndicate of New
York bankers. who had acquired the
holdings Of the Diaz-Lirnantour inter
ests in the Mexican properties. He said
that he had no knowledge of any such
transaction, but he did know positively
that the Mexican government today
owns 81 per cent of the merger lines
stock, and that It is in actual control
of the properties, including the Ma
tional Railways of Mexico. the Inter
oceanic Railway of Mexico, the Mexi-
can Southern. the Vera Cruz & 18th
mus and the Pan-American, a total
mileage of 1880 miles. AS to the re-
naming 40 per cent of the stock it is
in the hands of the public, scattered
all over the continent ana abroad. and
it would be difficult to say in whose
hands large holdings are placed at the
present time.
In regard to the Mexican merger
lines, Mr.. Brown said that the attitude
of the Mexican government had not
been changed at all, and that the prop
critics would be managed on conserva-
tive lines as heretofore. NO changes in
the management were contemplated,
and there would be no delay in respect
of improvements and extensions.

train backed the coaches over a track
into safety when the track underneath
the engine washed out. The engine
could not be moved and the banks on
either side crumbled away until the en-
gine turned over and disappeared in the
muddy water. It sank so deep that no
trace of it can be discerned. A freight
train on the other side is lost as far as
the officials are concerned as they
nave no wires west of KirWin. Several
prioges on both branches are out and
tnere VIII not be any train service on
