chestra, but the formal opening of the wonderfully fine display was in the evening at o'clock, when the crowd that thronged the hall was called to attention by Manager Fred M. Pres colt, who was posted in the gallery with members of the committee of the Commercial Travellers.
 By request of the Commercial Tray elers, President James c. Macpherson of the Board of Trade, whose splendid initiative in leadership has been shown as chairman of the executive commit tee for the whole conduct of Mer- chants week presented Mayor T. c. Murphy for the formal opening words, which the mayor made briefly but felicitously as he referred to the com mendable effort which those carrying out the exposition were making, saying that it's like had never been seen in Norwich in his recollection.
 President H. R. Branche of the Nor wich Business Mems association fol- lowed the mayor, speaking of the re- markable loyalty civic pride shown in Norwich in it's support of three such fine organizations as the Board of Trade, the Business Mems association and the Commercial Travellers. He read a letter of congratulation from F. H. Johnsons president of the State Business Mems association, which styled Norwich an eastern city with western progressiveness.
 Then the orchestra struck up, the musical instruments in the exhibits joined in, the visitors moved off to see the exhibits, and the exposition was formally launcned- By an unfOrtunate misunderstanding about the brief opening programme, MT Macpherson was not given opportunity to express the cordial good wishes he had for the success of the exposition and his con- fidence in the benefits that Merchants week would be to Norwich generally.
 From the opening hour until late in the evening the armory had crowd of good proportions attending, all of whom united in declaring that the Commercial Travellers had surely full filled every promise they had made about the beauty of the exposition they were to bring to the city.

An A B ( Thought for
 the Merchant

Advertising creates a desire to see the goods advertised.
 Advertising of nationally distributed product in the local newspapers which are read by the people with whom you do business every day, will lead :. that desire to see" right to your store.
 It is simply business horse sense to show the people what they want to see.
 In other words, when you dis play and push goods advertised in your local newspapers, you are making your store a Public Service Store in the best sense of the word,
 That's the A B c of the whole situation.

cides the time has come to interview
the self confessed accessory of Leo
M Frank in the staying of Mary

"Conley has been tried, convicted
and sentenced" said Burns. The
idea that anyone can Keep me from
seeing him is absurd. l am going to
See Coniey. The time mas not ar
rived yet when the best results would
be obtained in any talk with him,
but when it does neither Mr. Smith
nor anyone else will stop me, All
this talk is mere foolishness"

tended to spend most of Thursday

victon as to the innocence or guilt
Of Frank, and do not intend to do so
until the investigation is completed.
OF course, | hope that our findings
will prove the man innocent. but | am
working with 81 absolutely open
