BILE success Of a sale recently in
augurated by a we'll known Paris
firm has thoroughly demonstrate
ed the fact that judicious adver-
tising properly printed and cir

bacon"
The firm referred to is not only
enjoying abundant success in the
sale of their merchandise but one
of the members has sold his home
as a direct result of an item in
cluded in their newspaper and
circular advertising.
In prosperous times adyertis-
ing gives an added stimulus to
an already healthy business, but
when sluggish trade conditions
prevail it is absolutely essential
that an advertising tonic be used
to restore normal activity. In
giving this tonic one should use
only the most approved brand
administered by modern methods.

present enlightened age a scien-
tifcally balanced ration compos-
ed of ingredients which enter in
to the composition of eggs is fed
and as result there is a greater
production of eggs than ever be-
fore known, and the price is so
good that a farmer nowadays
numbers his chickans among his
most valuable assets.
The Partisan calls your atten-
ton to the makeup of the ads
appearing in its columns and to
the type faces used, and invites

dailies.
Your attention is also called to
the contest now running which
is not only rapidly increasing our
subscription list but is causing
the eyes of all Henry county to

SCHUYLER MERRITT
 PLANS RECEPTION FOR
 CHARITIES CONFERENCE

with forty representative citizens of all sectsa and creeds serving on the general committee of arrangements Stamford is planning convenience and the 1915 session of The Connecticut session of The Connecticut State Con ference Of Charities and Correction in that city April 1920. The committee reports that the greatest of interest is being shown by the people of the city generally and that the spirit Of cooperation is everywhere mani Tested.
 The social event of the occasion is to be the reception given by Presi- dent Schuyler Merritt of The Confer ence the afternoon of April 20- Other occasions that will combine social and business features will be the monday luncheons arranged to bring the dele gates together. The delegates will be enabled to gather in groups for discussion of. various phases of work brought out in the addresses and Round Table sessions as well as, to present experiences and invite advice from those who have had the same problems before them for solution.
 Indications are that the gathering will be the most representative in the history of Connecticut as well as the most important when the strength of the program is considered. 1t is
  municipal organization and private associati ons dealing with community betterment will be represented.
 Much success has attended the campaign to have organizations such as Mothers Clubs, District Nursing Associations and Civic Leagues from smaller communities represented In order to encourage such representa- ton arrangements have been made whereby delegates will be provided with lodgings and board during the session, thereby making the railroad fare the only expense of being repre- scented. In order to assure such ac- communications it is only necessary to notify The Conference secretary, Superintendent Spencer R. Gordon of the Bridgeport Department of Public Charities. Details of the program are also to be secured from him.

We drove up in taxicab just as the
