Advertising as a Guarantee

WHEN a business c"ncern invests a large sum OF money III a
handsome store and equipment for retail merchandising. the public
feels a certain degree of confidence that the concern has goods worth
examining. People argue that unless they had established a reputation
for fair dealing and unless they had goods that they knew filed the need
they would not ARE spend so much money.
Advertising, likewise, acts Is a guarantee of substantial business
character. When a firm spends money freely on this necessary form
it that have demonstrated their worth, or the firm would not have set
apart this sum OF money for selling them through the newspapers
A concern that docs o advertise, especially in its home papers,
impresses the public as merely ar Xpcrnnen m OF title progressive

not help so very much The public may eve look at mere existence

The Money Question
By Dr.. Karl F. M. Sandberg
Author Of 1.-THE MONEY TRUST

The attempt to make the coins of
the two metals circulate together dur
ing the bimeallic period proved -unsuc-
eessfpL ether one or the other would
go out of circulation, and since the
establishment of the gold standard
very little gold is in circulation. 1t is
nearly all stored in vaults; the govern.
ment issues warehouse receipts for it
and these (gold cert1fcates) we use
as money, silver certificates are used
the same way. People prefer paper
to coin.
The paper money of the United
States is the result of gradual eNolu--
ton first taking the form of promis-
sorry notes issued by the government
due within a certain time and bear
ing interest. The first ones were not
intended for use as money, but later
issues were so intended. None OF
these were legal tenders. money

A~B0LIsHING THE 20 sTAGE-srAMP.

An interesting attempt is beng made oy
the postal authorities to avoid the waste OF
time incurred IN stamp ne letters. A simple
small machine WAS ser up in the London
Genera! Post-of1ice wherein, instead OF .
penny being inserted in the SLOT for a POI
tao e-stamp, the letter and II penny are both
posted at the same time. The letter Is lheu
franked with u po,t-murk, the familiar pos
tage-stamp being dispensed with. Although
this idea is somewhat new to Britain, 1t has
been in service III New Zealand for some
time; and, as the initial experiments have
proved successful, there is every indication
that 1t Will be extensively adopted III that
country, for letter posting at all events. 1t
means not only a considerable saving IN time
in busy oHt-%otfices, but at the same tune
represents an appreciable economy IN the
maintenance of the department, as the eX-
pense of manufacturing adhesive postage
stamps is saved if the invention is adopted
extensively. PhilateIists may DO disposed
TO deplore the disappearance OF the postage
stamp; but it will cause no mlsglVln8S among
commercial men, among whom the Adoption
of such a device has been advocated for
some time past ID order to save time, and to
prevent pilfering ot stamps. -i5t@.
