nounced the close of our season and
while we made the statement in
good faith--we are pleased to note
that we were somewhat premature,
for thru the kind indulgence of old
King Sol'' we were privileged to
stage another game last Saturday
with the Byers' nine of South Still
water.
While the loss of last weeks
game can be charged more or less to
fielding errors-we can congratulate
ourselves that it was not a shut
out. 1t would have been but for the
Derve and confidence of Ray and
Carlt in their own ability to steal
bases. Some steal believe muh!
And that they did not over esti-
mate their powers is amply shown
by the final score.
Both teams shifted their twirlers
during the game. The visitors three
times and the locals twice. p. Byers
opened for the visitors and pitched
two innings. allowing one safe hit
and struck out one. Anderson in,
one inning, allowed two hits, issued
one pass and struck out two. E..
Byers handed out one hit and one
pass, while he struck out eleven in
six innings.
For the M. S. P, Flem allowed
four hits, and no passes and struck
out three in three innings:- while
Van, in six innings gave four hits,
three passes, and famed two. The
scoring was practically all due to
errors. The home team made eleven
against the visitors three.
The main feature in the game was
the visitors, machine-like playing.
Underwood's spectacular spearing
of long drives to LETT and the work
performed by the various twirlers.
The fans were all pleased with
Flem's showing in the box but went
wild over the return of their idol,
Van, to the mound in the fourth
inning. Lovely at third. did the

1t may be of interest to know that
signs date from the time when
man began to trade.
At Thebes and Memphis as early
as 1000 B. G. there were experts in
sign boards. When the mass of
the people were unable to read. the
shopkeeper called attention of pos
sible buyers of his wares by signs
in letter or figure. Then it was not
so much his name, whether 1t be
Murphy or John Smith, but what
had he for sale. For instance. if he
was a shoemaker or fish monger,
the model of shoe or fish was plac-
! ed above his door or hung across
the side walk.
This same sign advertising was
common thru the middle ages and
later.
To-day, London is a net work
of signs and vast bill boards of
ads" fences, houses. walking men,
trolley. horses. and rattling busses
are plastered with signs.
Addison lived at the close of the
seventeenth century, and as a writ
er in the Spectator found fault with
streets filed with blue boars,
black swans and red lions" Refer
ing TO these old combinations he says:
the fox and the goose may be sup
posed to have met; but what nave
the fox and the seven stars to do to-
gether9 And when did the lamb
and the dolphin ever meet except
on a sign post?"
European shop owners had spe-
cial signs. When an apprentice
set up in business, he made a sign
for himself, and added the sign of
his master who had taught him the
trade. Graduating from a shop
called the Three Nuns" one add
ed the device of hare; what was
the surprise of the shoppers COM
ing down the walk one morning to
see and read, Three Nuns and a
hare" From a time of long ago
Inn-keepers have had an eve for
business. They used signs compel
ling attention. Often they put out
q sign bearing the coat-of-arms of
the big man of the town, or one of
their prominent patrons. as was
natural in England. The Kings
arms was a great favorite, and the
Inn was often called by the name,
Lion and Unicorn" because of the
supporting figures.
The Reformation period came
and affected everything, including
signs. Protestant faith changed or
took down many Roman Catholic
signs. What was called st. Cath
crimes Wheel became Cat and
Wheel" The words. st Peters
Keys" which as you know, were
the coat-of-arms of the Pope, be-
came Gross Keys" and SO on.
But abroad, and here, are some signs
which will outlive Methusalah' e

gilded balls. which welcomes you at
the door Of your Uncle Finkle-
stien.

IDEAS ON ADVERTISING
AN INTERESTING SUBJECT TREATED WITH
SkILlFUl bREvITY BY A MEMBER OF
OUR CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE
By Mr. ".

Advertising In the dictionary
sense of the word. has history as
old as that of the human race.
Just as soon as there were more
than two people IN the world some
sort of formal announcement had to
be made by one or the other. and SO
has developed until the present time.
This country of ours. has reached
a point. where only few. or small
fraction of people are unable to read
The American people are quick
TO learn, and consequently their de-
mand for reading matter is large.
until to-day they are reading or
supplied with over twenty thous-
and papers and magazines, with q
circulation from five thousand up to
million and more.
These are some of the reasons for
the merchant to advertise in order
to sell his products. Advertising
in the modern sense, relates almost
altogether to magazines and news
papers. Street Cars and posters
should be subsidiary. Of course
most large advertisers use all the
mediums in proportion which their
judgment deduces is best. But
there are also many instances where
firms have built up large business
by using street cars only, utterly
ignoring the magazines and news
papers. For instance The II. j.
Heinz Company whose phrase. One
of the ST" is well known, have used
street cars and posters only. with
few exceptions. And those of you
who have visited Heinz. pier, at
Atlantic city have seen the famous
electric display advertising his
goods.
will also mention another
large and extensive advertiser
using street cars. and posters. The
Fairbanks Co., and their famous
Gold Dust Twins" / remember
seeing one of their display cards in
q Minneapolis street car some time
ago. which read as follows: If we
must clean up Mexico let the Gold
Dust Twins do the work."
Both street cars and bill posting.
are in the hand of few companies,
which have franchises, and options,
as we'll as leased sites.
To cover the United States ac-
cording to the estimate of one house
would require $4,000 cards. This is
supposed to represent one card for
every full-time car.
1t, of course does represent one
card in every car of all kin ds. It
has been estimated that it takes
$4,000 cards to cover the country
thoroughly.
The cost of this service is from
twelve to fifteen thousand dollars
per month. with chan ges of cards as
often as desired. usually once a
week. A standard street car card
is 21x11 inches in size.
But many advertisers use cards
of double the size.
There used to be a line of sub
urban cars, running from Oakland
and Berkley ferries in California,
opposite San Fransisco, which car
ries street car cards 4x3 feet in
length. And no doubt those cards
brought results.
Bill posting is managed by large
firms, or brokers. in various towns
and cities.
For instance in the city of Minnea-
polls they are managed by two large
Z firms. namely, the Northern Display
Advertising Co.. and the Breslauer
Blue Posting Service. who handle
all the posters and Bill boards.
Aud 80 in all large cities. The av-
eraee price for posting is from
