Mrs. J. j. Curley, who was convicted
of "bootlegging" over at Marble year
or SO ago on numerous counts, and for
which fines amounting to something like
s., 500 was imposed, and the lower court
decisions sustained by the supreme
court, has now filed suit against the
town of Marble for the recovery of that
sum with interest, etc. Evidently our
neighboring town has troubles of its
own, but from its past record we
would presume that bootlesgers will
have long hard row to hoe if they in

"booze" in the well-regulated little burg

were out only one day and had to quit

turned home Tuesday. We are sorry
about this, as they might have run
across something with glitter that
would cause a unusual stir, and we
would liked to have seen them just that
successful. But then, the precious,
yellow stuff lies hidden hereabouts, gen.

WHY Chinese Are Called ceIestIaIs1

II Is the Chinese themselves who
call their people Celestials. Their en-
peror's official title used to be Son Of
Heaven. II is said that according TO
an old legend a planet inhabited by q
golden skinned race was broken up.
and a part Of il fell in what is now
called Thibet Dazed and starving the
heavenly visitants made their way in
to China where they finally settled
themselves. Their neighbors called
them Celestials to distinguish them
from the earth derived people. and
they adopted the term as a mark Of
distinction. The legend need not, how.
ever. be taken seriously.

HOW ADVERTISING WORKS
Copyright 1912 by Geo. K. Patterson.

Copyright VIZ b. Geo.. e. Patterson.
Every merchant is anxious to increase his ct annual profit. His
success is dependent more o n the net annual profit than the profit on
each sale. That is the reason the merchant likes to handle a product
that is we'll advertised by the manufacturer. He sells perhaps on less
margin of profit, but his neta annual profit O. N advertised commodity
is always greater than on a similar non-advertised product.
If It pays a merchant to handle a product that is we'll advertised,
why doesn't it pay all the more to advertise a product he handles.
Suppose a retail merchant buys article for rs cents, and his
gross margin Of profit is 80 cents o. each sale. He sells 400 a year.
His annual gross profit would be 1882. But his net profit o this one
article for the year may be only $40, as the balance or $92 may be the
proportion of running expenses charged to the article, such as taxes,
rent insurance, statesmen, interest on investment, etc.
article we'll. He will sell the advertised article at rs cents, and his
gross margin of profit OIL each saew will be the same as before, DR. 80
cents. He will probably sell 300 each year at al annual gross profit of
$264 and a expense of perhaps $2. Then II the merchant spends the
sum of $5 advertising the article his expense Is only $127, and his
gross profit is 1884, leaving a net annual profit Of 1897
The net annual profit on the article when not advertised Is $40
while the net annual profit o n the article when advertised is $137 or a
difference of $7 which amount the merchant loses by not advertising
the article. How much does the merchant lose each article he
handles by not advertising the article? The only way to tell is to try
out advertising in a systematic and persistent way.
