 How an Enterprising Publishing House
 Rooms the Club.
 The fame of the Bald-Hea Club of America is spreading even more rapidly and extensively than its most sanguine promoters had anticipated. as a result of the contributory enterprise of an upto- date publishing house looking after its own interests.
 It came about in this way Fred E- Egleston. one of the original Suther- land Brothers and a member of the ex- ecutive committee of the Club, seeing an advertisement of the new book. Seven Keys to Baldpate." wrote to the publishers, the Bobbs- Merrill Co., for descriptive literature, and concluded his letter thus "If it is a bald-head story. as tue name implies. trust that it has been duly dedicated to the Bald Head Club of America" The letter was written on the printed letter head of the B. H. Club./
 Now mark what happened. The scn- terprisinR publishers reproduced the letter in fac simile, printed heading aud all, even to the specially mixed color of the printing ink which was concooted in The News job printing departmena az distinguishing Bald-Head Club coacr, and sent copies evidently to every Abig book selling house and department store Tn the United States. As result, Mr. Egleston IS receiving bushels of lsttera from the farthermost cities of the oeun- try-some soliciting his esteemed orders for copies of the book, some returning ths fac simile letter, which was "evi- dently sent to them by mistake." and many of them asking for information concerning the Bald Head Club and 'aps plying for membership. The incident may or may not generate a boom Ger the Seven Keys" but it is mauifestly spreading the fame of the Bald Mead Club of America, which already was known far and wide.
