James NJ. Beck, the famous corpora
tion lawyer of New York, is a native
of Philadelphia, and to Philadelphia
he often returns to see his old
friends.
Mr.. Beck, at recent banquet in
Philadelphia defended corporations
with an epigram.
"The trust buster and the Socialist
may do what they please" he said,
"but mankind will still be divided into
two great classes-those who walk to
get an appetite for their dinner, and
those who walk to get dinner for
their appetite"

Samuel Brill, ex-President OF the Sphinx
Club and head Of the firm OF Brill Broth
ers, at the October banquet Of the Sphinx
Club. in the presence OF myself and the
gentlemen sitting around our table told
this story, which is repeated for the beue-
fit Of those advertisers who think that
their business viii not increase unless
spectacular advertising methods are en-
ployed.
Speaking to me directly. Mr.. Brill said
More than two years ago you came into
my office and told me you thought one Of
the reasons our business was not growing
as we thought II should was because We
had been OVERRIDING the special sale feat
ure-that we had been advertising entirely
too many specials and there was a doubt
in the minds Of the people about the adj
vantages Of buying specially advertised
suits al reduced prices.
You advised changing our advertising
policy, and said that our business would
probably decrease while we were chang
ing, and that II would be two years be-
fore we really began to get returns from
modest, straightforward, dignified advcr-
using-that II would take US at least that
time to convince our customers that the
chief asset of our business was selling
good merchandise at fixed prices and not
any kind Of merchandise that we could
get hold of TO sell al a special reduction.
your prophecy has come tree- our
business in October. 1911. IN all Of our
stores was very much larger and inf
nitely more satisfactory than II was in
1909, and within this period we have open-l
ed a new store and that new store mas
done more business in October than any
of the other four.
I'VE are convinced that copy persist
emily run in the daily papers that states
a fact clearly and convincinEly-tha IS
quickly read-that has no circus attach
ment to it-that is truthful-builds a bust
ness quicker than any other plan Of adj
vertising."
am very glad to print this statement
Of Mr.. Brilfs because IL shows a ten
dency on the part of all advertisers
throughout the United States to build their
business by plain, STRAIGHTFORWARD meth
DDS. through the aid Of plain. straight
forward advertising.

sloTHER.s APPLE PIES.

MOTHERS APPLE PIES.
I've dined in many great hotels,
Made famous by their cooks,
I've eaten dainty dishes rare
In quaint luxurious hooks
OF distant restaurants, beneath
The gaze of foreign eyes,
But still my thoughts go fondiy back
To mothers apple pies!
Those piesi Their melting. flaky crusts,
With scallops round the RIM
Their Fragrance would draw down the gaze
OF Raphaels cherubim!
Through gashes in the crust you'd see
Their oozing richness rise
My mouth just waters at the thought
OF mothers apple piesl
And no mean little slice she'd cut
With scientific eye;
Oh, no! l never failed to get
A quarter of a piei
And those glad days I'll meier forget,
Their memory never dies
The joys of childhood's happy home,
And mothers apple pies.
