Merchant Must Help Advertising

Newspaper advertising is a pre-

that is done after you get the people
who respond inside your place OF bust

valuable preliminary. Without It the
number of people who come to your
place of business would be very much
less.
But you have got to help II you
want to get one hundred per cent.

have got to give the public Just what
your advertising leads the public to
expect
p. II. Barnum, so ! am told, never
made that famous statement which
has been attributed to him: "The
public loves to be humbugged."
Barnum was too shrewd a student
OF human nature to think or practice
anything like that.
The public loves to be served
that's what. And the merchant
who serves his public honestly and
we'll is doing the kind of advertising

Precautlon Led to Disaster.

A marine disaster of curious origin
is recorded by recent British Board
of Trade report. Some months ago
the steamship Hardy had in its cargo
a large quantity of metallic sodium
and chlorate Of potash-the former, as
is well known, taking fire and burning
in water, while the latter is so ener-
getic an oxidizer that 1t Is liable to
explode violently when heated in the
presence Of combustible matter. AS
an extra precaution against trouble
these dangerous substances were car
ried on deck. This proved an unfor-
tunate mistake, however, for a heavy
sea burst open the chests containing
two tons of sodium, which in few
minutes set fire to the vessel in many
places. AS the flames reached the
chlorate of potash, violent explosion
broke the ship in two, finishing the
destruction. The misdirected efforts
to ensure safety were blamed for the
loss, and 1t was concluded that the
cargo would have been quite safe II
the sodium had been properly packed
and slowed below deck.

"The bear was, I believe, more sur

through my hand, as it quickly turned
to Its right, and, swinging about, ran
back over the hill without any at

as the bear wheeled, | picked up my
rifle and shot as the animal was dis

down to a walk on the timbered
ridges, continuing to fat country be-

but afterward saw no more.

Colonel kfrald2

A soldier, being photographed, hap

whereupon the photographer said
that he had photographed the colonel
Of the same regiment, and showed the
private a copy.
WELL" said the soldier, 1--WE seen

ADVERTISING ON ToMBSTONES
Tributes Paid to the Departed for

good many have been passed that
are more in the nature of puffs for the
living than tributes to the dead.
The widow of man who died some
years ago arranged for the following
inscription to be placed over the grave
of her husband:
Here lies - -, dear departed
husband of - -, who now car
ries ON his business Of general outfit
ter, and always gives good value.
Terms cash."
That is tombstone advertising with
q vengeance, and 1t is not an isolated
case. 1t has been recorded of GER
tain shop keeper that he had his grave
dug and the tombstone placed above
It some years before his death. The
tombstone was nothing less than an
advertisement of his business, for the
Inscription ran: Here lies John Elmer
son, the best halter in the state oil
Ohio" The tombstone, after raising
some discussion, was eventually pass
ed by the authorities.
A Canadian firm went one better
even than this. The head OF the firm
in question died, and over his grave
was inscribed on the tombstone:
Here lies Abraham Stokes, founder
of the firm of Stokes & Company, who
for many years have manufactured
pickles and bottled fruits. Best OF all
and without rival"
The tombstone censors sometimes
refuse permission for epitaphs of this
description to be raised over the
graves of the dead. The widow OF
we'll known patent medicine manufac
turer, who wished to erect tomb
stone bearing detailed account OF hei
late husbands discovery of the paten
medicine In question, found that thu
authorities were obdurate in not allow

she abandoned the idea Of advertising
the business and erected a more suit

was made of the commercial life OF tn

with the same month in 1911. The
loss in June 1911. followed great
lSnes in the same month In 1910, and
there is reason to hope that by 1915
