PRESS BEST TO REACH PEOPLE
Big Corporations Have Learned That
Erecting Big Buildings Is Not
Profitable Advertising.

Many attempts have been made to
invent methods of advertising that
will be superior to the ordinary med
iums like the newspapers, magazines.
street cars and billboards. In the
search for novelty hundreds of
schemes have been devised, and al
though some have been effective to
degree majority have been absolute
failures
A fine building is regarded as a good
advertisement of a business, just as
preston upon those with whom their
wearer comes in contact. The observ-
er who sees 1T regards 1t as an evil
dence of prosperity and responsible
ity. The Equitable Assurance Asso-
cations building, recently destroyed
by fire; the Singer and Metropolitan
towers, the tallest office structures in
the world. were erected not SO much
for these several institutions as to
provide striking and impressive ad-
vertisements.
Immense buildings like these rarely
produce a sufficient amount of rev.
enue to pay even a small interest on
their cost. When there is deficit 1t
IS charged, as likely as not, to the adj
vertising account. TI1 question that
is sometimes considered in board
meetings Is, "Is it worth the price,"
and the usual conclusion is that it is
not. 1t is reported that the Equitable.
which at one time had plans prepared
for a skyscraper that should overtop
all others and which would cost from
$20,000,000 to $30,000,000, has aban-
doned the project.
The success of insurance companies
depends upon the amount of policies
they can write during the year, and
the Singer co1nlHtny relies upon it's
sales of sewing machines to furnish
dividends for its stockholders. Have
panies materially increased the busi-
ness of either one? We doubt it, says
the Editor and Publisher In order
to sell anything to the public you must
present to that public, either through
your salesman or through the news
papers or magazines, description of
what you have to sell. Palatial and
+, artistically constructed buildings can.
not take the place of real, persuasive
advertising in popular mediums
Therefore, how much better off all
three of the great companies mention
ed above would be today If they had
taken the millions they have spent in
erecting colossal Office buildings and
| spent them in acqnainting every mar
| and woman in the country through
popular and effective advertising me-
! d:ams with what they have to sell.
Newspapers penetrate every city
town and hamlet in the United States
They are read because the people de
pend upon them for the news of the
neighborhood, state or nation. They
are throbbing with life. They bring
| messages of cheer to the shut-ins, they
broaden the horizon of those who live
In isolated communities, they reach
| the homes of all who have money tc
| spend. IL any one has message Of
any kind to deliver he can find no bet
/ ter or quicker way OF delivering it tt
the whole people than through the
newspapers.

ROBBED MILLIONAIRES;
SHOES HIS DOWNFALL
$1,000 Worth of Loot Recovered by
Clever Detective Work on
TOOtnrintS

New York-The millionaires living
a, Larchmont, Mamaroneck and White
Plains have been peristently raided
by Raffles for the past month. All
efforts at catching him have been
fruitless, and the only clues that he
usually left behind were in the form
of footprints in the wet lawns.
While Detective O'Neil of the White
Plains station was adding up the am
cunt stolen to date he saw a man
stealing along the road and keeping
in the shadows. O'Neil arrested him
When taken TO the White Plains sta
ton he gave his name as Paul Rolf
man, bakers assistant, and that he
lived at No. 1876 Third avenue. O'Neil
removed Roffmans shoes, which, he
says, fit exactly into the footprints.
Returning to the station, O'Neil
confronted Roffman with the evidence
and the latter, it is said. confessed to
the burglaries. He said he usaully
visited the houses of his victims as a
| bakers delivery man. He said that
the bulk of his loot was at the Third
avenue house.
Detectives Barber and OBrien OF
the East Twenty street sta
ton accompanied O'Neil to this ad-
dress. The landady Mrs. Anna
Shryver, said that Roffman had rent
ed the room for 81 week, and hat
so far failed to pay her. Instead, She
said, that he had made her many pre-
sents of attractive bric-a-brac anC
other valuables, which gifts had ar
oused her curiosity after his non-pay
ment of rent. Mrs. Shryer said tina
Roofman left early each day with al
empty suit case and returned hom'
at night with a loaded one.
A long stream of automobiles ar
expected at the station and through
the week, as the millionaire victim
have been invited by the police t
come and identify their valuables.
So far Joseph Blister of Mamar
oneck. David Warren of Larchmont
Joseph Kane of Larchmont and Mis-
Margaret ]. Merrill of Elm plac
Mamaroneck have identified some o
their property. Miss Merrill had bee
robbed of some valuable Jewels. Thes
were not found in Roffman's room.
According to the police, Roffma
has another room in Hoboken, wher
he stored the rest Of his loot In tn
| Third avenue room were found abou
$4,000 worth of table linen, cut glas
| and cutlery, four French clocks, sey
| eral bronzes and some Chinese vases
| The police suspect that Roffman ha
a confederate who assisted in dispos
ing of his plunder, and they are o
the trail Of a man who Is said to hav
| bought passage for Germany.

indebtedness for harbor improve
ments. ,i
The material value of San Diego's
magnificent harbor has been for many
years impeded through lack OF
thorough transportation, but this is
shortly to be remedied with the in
ception of the San Diego & Arizona
railroad, completion and operation of
which is promised in 1913. tJ
With total area of % square
miles, San Diego bay is one of the
finest landlocked harbors in the world
Il is the third in Importance on the
Pacific coast and ranks among the
| best ten natural harbors of the globe.
| The depth of the anchorage area of
San Diego harbor varies from 20 to
96 feet at extreme low tide. From
the entrance of the harbor for dis
tance of eight miles inland. there is
minimum depth of So feet at low
tide 1t is 16 miles from the entrance
Of the harbor to the extreme end Of

about six feet at this point
Aside from being landlocked, Point

ciety. juts out into the ocean just
north and far beyond the harbor en-
trance. thus protecting not only the
entrance but the entire harbor itself
from any storms which might sweep
down from the north, while the United
States government mas built an indie
structible jetty paralleling the en-
trance to the bay on the south, thus
DETECTING the current from the trop-
les and maintaining a uniform depth
of the entrance channel so important
to shipping.
The development of the harbor from
a commercial point of view has just
begun. At the last session of the
California legislature, the state ceded
TO the city of San Diego all its right
and title to the tdie lands lying with

on the city of San Diego appropriating
S1000,000 toward the reclamation of

and with the further proviso that the
city shall forever after maintain pub

tions were received with enthusiasm
by the people of San Diego. and bond
issue was made for the first 81 900, ,006
and work started on the Improvement
When completed. San Diego will have
about eleven miles of docks, which
will be adequate docking facilities for
a city of million population. In ad-
dition thereto, the Improvement, when
completed, will reclaim 1000 acres of
land suitable for warehouse and fac
