A panic Is simply shortage Of mon

charge your hands and sit down and
think-and to get ready and to wait
for the receiver to take charge when

actually deposited in the bank--so
that you may be utterly ruined. You
say to yourself: 'My goods are IN de-
mand everywhere, the men who owe
me are good. have their notes. The
community knows that am all right.
Why then can't get money!"
You go over to the bank and ask for
loan. The banker tells you: That
tariff bill is causing trouble" or New
York has tightened up on us" and SO
on In way that bank Is up against

bank has good commercial paper but
LIT can do nothing with It, II 1t could

Right here is where the new cur.
rency bill comes in. It provides for
the establishment of federal reserve
banks in the larger cities. These
banks have power to issue $500,00o,-

| The banker we have Just spoken OF
can take his commercial paper to the
federal reserve bank and get actual
money for 1t. But you are saying
suppose that reserve bank refuses to
act?" but they must act The bill pro
vides that local reserve banks shall be
controlled by federal board at Wash
ington. Your banker may appeal dt
rectly to this board and what is more
the local reserve bank will have three

The Way to
Succeed.

Parapilrasing the words OF
Horace Greeley, The way to
succeed is to advertise" There
is scarcely notable CONNER
cial success that has not been
built upon the solid foundation
of advertising, and, likewise,
practically all good, clean, hon
est business that advertises
legitimately is successful.
Whenever you see manu-
facturer cooperating with the
retailers of this city or a group
of cities or of all the cities in
the United States IN an adver-
tising campaign on behalf of
his merchandise you may safe
ly make up your mind to three
things
First, the merchandise has
merit.
Second, both the manufactur-
er and the merchant are pro-
gressive, dependable people
with whom to do business.
Third, they are successful and
merit your confidence and pat
ronage.
Manufacturers are beginning
to understand that the only
way to create actual, "over-the-
counter" demand ra product
is to advertise 1t locally-in
daily newspapers.
