is BIG FACTOR IN RENTING.
Talent of Ad Writer Required to Fill
Big Structures With a High Class
of Tenants,

It is a great deal easier to build
it is to fill it with tenants.
That calls for different kind of
talent. And it is harder still to fill
it without making the expected con-
cesssons for long time leases, says
Printers Ink. Price cutting in rentals
may make as deep inroads on profits
and dividends as vacant office will do.
Price maintenance Is as much a neces-
stty or, at any rate a desideratum In
the business of renting as 1t is III any
trade-marked or branded proposition
sold through dealers.
It Is for the sake Of both of these
objects, filling them at the right rent
al. that the new Equitable building In
New York city started to advertise Is
months ahead Of completion.
While the new Equitable will be the
largest office building In the world,
the directors are too wise to believe
that by itself that will prove a suf1-
GENTLY strong advertising card. They
have started Is months ahead of time
to spend $4,000, very much larger
sum than has ever been spent before
for such purpose in local newspaper
space. mostly large space. run week
II.
The problem is to get $4,000, 900
worth Of leases-fve-year leases-at
100000 year. The advertising ap-
preparation Of $4,000 is thus only
one per cent Of the total expected re-
turn. or, stretched over five years,
only oneffth Of one per cent. per year
not an extravagant figure. one would
think.
The copy that Is expected to solve
the problem is to be of quiet, digni-
fed but informative kind. The vari-
Gus points will be suggested, not
pounded into the public. The attempt
Will be to make the new building in
teresttng and desirable not so much
to visitors but to business men and
prospective tenants.

TWO CLASSES |OF BUYERS
Those Who Purchase Without System
While Others Scan Newspapers
for Bargains.

To the man who follows the adVer-
Using game for period of years, the
buying public resolves itself largely
into two classes. First, there are the
people who buy when they feel like it,
or run short of articles, without much
system. Second, those who watch the
local trade market as keenly as the
buyer of a manufacturing concern
watches the commercial papers.
That may take time, but it is scien-
tific buying. The canny housewife
knows that at certain times Of the year
the merchant is up against the prop
osition of reducing stocks. Not all
his ventures have succeeded. He did
not expect them to. Some chances
must be taken. Irregularities In
weather and caprices Of popular taste
have left parts of his stock unsold.
He must do one of two things. Carry
stock over, borrow money to hold it.
pay heavier insurance, take chances
of style changes or deterioration, or
cut his prices.
The majority of the merchants cut
PRICES ISS uldlI ~ Oui1uS LuS AdLACA hChAA
of the season, to meet these condi-
tons. The scientific house buyer
makes the bulk Of the purchases dur
ing this period. What is not needed
this esason will be useful later.
This trade is mostly reached
through advertising. Every advertise
ment at this time of year is closely
scanned, not merely with the casual
hope of some unexpected bargain that
may fit in some time, but in pursuance
with a settled policy of buying in the
lowest market.
AS 1t takes too much time to- run
around the stores and see what the
merchants are doing, the public
watches the newspapers, and visits
the places that have made known their
bargains. The people who don't read
the store advertising miss chances to
keep the cost of living down.

Afqhanistan Infant Mortality.

Infant mortality in Afghanistan is
very heavy. 1t has been said by a
leading medical missionary in Pes
bawar that, il his opinion, probably
about one-half the children born in
the country die before reaching the
age of three years. There are no spe-
cial pains exercised in the country to
prevent such mortality, and the wan
dering and generally insanitary mode
of life and the small attention paid to
women and infants at childbirth &C.
count for the heavy infant mortality.

Utility Of Fruit Thinning,

Fruit thinning pays in money re-
turns the first year
The earlier the thinning can be done
the better will be the returns.
The best results are obtained by
leaving the apples from nine to ten
inches apart.
The systematic and annual uniform
thinning does much toward securing
an annual crop.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, June -12.-Belief that after

helped bring about rally today in
wheat. Liverpool reports of a renewal of
European demand and Of a prospect of
lighter world shipments counted also in
favor Of the bulls. The opening. which
was " off to Wax up. was followed by
a substantial advance all around.
Corn weakened on account Of general
rains where needed. Most of the loss,
however. was recovered when wheat
turned strong. After starting unchanged
to y lower. the market steadied close to
last nights level.
Notwithstanding that the breaking OF
the drought had some bearish influence on
oats. the effect was not Of lasting sort.
There was but little pressure to sell.
Provisions leaned to the bull side. High
er prices at the yards formed the chief
reason.
