MORAL OF A SOAP MELON"

There is a soap company in Gin
cinnsti which has done much to make
that old town famous. For a long
period this corporation has paid hand
some dividends and rolled up a sur
plus, extremely gratifying to it's
shareholders,
Now the dividend rate upon it's
II per cent to Is per cent a year.
It's stockholders are to receive, also,
a stock dividend, equivalent to about
4 per cent, At the same time the
company is authorized to issue a large
amount Of additional stock under such

This great and long continued pros
perity Of a corporation which has
done business in a wide-open field
against the most strenuous competi-
ton and without any advantages or
favors contrary to law or ethics, can
be attributed primarily to one great
factor in business success. This fac
tor is intelligent, persistent, broad
minded and we'll supported adver-
Using.
"Well-supported" in this sense,
ean that the wares sold by attrac-
tive advertising have been good
enough to hold the confidence and
favor of those who have been induced
to try them. In other words, the
company has made good in its mer-
chandise as well as it's vigilant and
untiring publicity. Its appeal has
been first to the possible customer
and then to the customer once OBJ
tanned. Its goods have held what it's
advertising has won.
Upon this foundation-and no other
one Of the most striking industrial
and commercial successes of the times
has been achieved. It is needless to
point the moral to business men who
keep in touch with the forces that
decide the issue of success or failure.
The example of this Cincinnati cor
poration carries it's lesson. written so
plainly that he who runs may read.
