PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
As Seen by the General

Public confidence is the great
est asset that any house of
business can possess. 1t Is
more to be desired than the
ability TO make money.
There are degrees of public
confidence. 1t may be zero, a
minus quantity, or a plus guam
tity. At zero no confidence ex-
ists-nobody is for or against
such a house. Bat this condi-
tion can exist only where the
house or it's goods are unknown,
and as soon as the public has
given the house n trial II Will
pass Judgment, and public con-
fidence will then be expressed
by a plus or minus sign. accord
ing to the approval or disap-
proval of the public as to the
goods and policies of the house.
II the goods are not as repre-
scented. or IL the policies are not
in accordance will the ethics or
good business, public confidence
will drop to n minus quantity
and the people will transact
business with its competitors
whose business ideals are on
higher and more satisfactory
plane. If the goods are salts
factory, and IL the policies of
the house are right, the people
will continue to do business
with that house and will help
to build II up.
The plus sign of public con-
fidence is alwsys attached to
the name of house of business
that considers service to its
customers. absolute integrity
with reference to it's goods, and
high ideals in it's business poll
cies, as being OF greater conse-
uuence than the mere earning
OF dividends. A well satisfied
community OF customers Is the
KEY to the success OF any house
OF business, and, having estab-
lished this. dividends VIII be
sure to follow.

trians have sent reinforcements

country is so rough and the Italians
since they declared war have been so
successful in capturing important po-
sitons for defense that an advance
by the Austrians cannot for some
time threaten the defenders.
The heavy guns continue their BON

has been her custom for a number of
years past to recognize the passing

the enjoyment of the occasion today
was the absence of several who had
previously attended but who were un-
able to be present today because of

A striking feature of the dinner
