"Why Should
| Advertiser"

Il have been in business in this town for
Years! Everyone knows my store! | don't
need to advertise any more!''
Such an argument as this is often offered by
old and reputable firms as. their reason for not
telling the people about their goods through
newspaper advertising
It might be said that the greatest trouble
with firms that advance such excuses is that
they are not abreast of the times so to speak.
They have failed to realize that advertising
is the development of modern business competi-.
ton. In large per cent of cases, along the
same street with the "old and established
firms, there have sprung up in the last few
years, other business houses of the same lines
and they have established trade equal, if
not superior to, that of the "old and estab-
lished' firms.
Do you think that the secret success that has
enabled these new firms to develop that trade
is hidden and known to a selected few?
If there is secret, it is not hidden. In fact,
it is in daily evidence.
In short: NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
The government census shows that in city
approximately the size of Honolulu through the
transient population the total population
amounts to almost a complete change every
seven years. In other words, about one seventh
of the population of this city changes each
year.
Mr.. 'sOld and Established Merchant" con
sidering the population of Honolulu as whole,
there are comparatively few families who re-

and advertising. 1t might almost be said that
there are people living in this city who have
come to town of late years, who have been con-
stantfy reading the newspaper advertisements
of your young and thriving competitors and
hardly realize that you are in business, unless
you, too, are an ardent advertiser. @E
If you doubt this statement, experiment a
little that is if You are not as large an adver-
tiser as some other merchant, whom you con
slider young and mestablished, step out on the
street and stop the first ten people you chance
to meet and ask them to name merchant in
your particular line. Your feelings will prob
ably be hurt, for they undoubtedly will name
the ones who advertise. Z =
The best way TO avoid serious compeutlon IN

Chicago. Sept. 27-Union officials
tonight declared that between 1000
and 5000 clothing workers had obeyed
thei rinitial order to strike More
than 450 were affected by a lockout,
due to the strike. Although union
leaders expressed a willingness to co.

effort to restore peace. they made 1t
known that if the employers did not
make some move towards a peace par
ley by midnight tonight a general
strike call affecting between 20,00n and
25,Oo0 employees, would be drafted.
Augmented police guards were kept
busy during the day, but no real trou-
bic developed. Five alleged pickets
were arrested shortly after noon at a
crowded downtown corner.
Sidney Hiitman, president of the
Amalgamated Association Of Garment
Workers said tonight that the first
order was merely to show the manu-
facturers that the union meant busi-
ness and fully controlled the clothing
workers of the city. He said that he
did not call a general strike in the
hope that the manufacturers might see

time limit on the unions demands for
arbitration expires.

ANGLo-FRENcH FINANcIERs
HAVE GONE TO CHICAGO
Where They Are sto Confer With
Western Bankers.

New York, Sept. 27.SThe fast New
York Central train, which left here
today with Lord Reading, Lord Chief
Justice of England and three of his
assistants in the Anglo-French fin
ancial commission aboard, was in
spected and policed as never before
when it rolled out of the Grand Cen
trail station this afternoon.
The commissioners were bound for
Chicago, where they are to confer
with western bankers over the -tenta-
tive terms of the proposed half bill
lion dollars credit loan to Great Bri-
tain and France. During their stay
in this city, members of the commits
sion have received threatening letters
from persons hostile to the loan and
the police have taken unusual pre-
cautions to guard them from harm.
These precautions were extended
today to their departure for Chicago.
Twenty detectives and plain clothes
men were gathered through the lob
bies of the hotel where the commits
sion has been staying, as the time for
their departure approached. Another
squad, in which there was a sprink-
ling of railroad detectives, awaited
commissioners in the Grand Central
station and still others were stationed
at intervals along the short route
which the commissioners took from
the hotel to the station.
The train itself was under surveil-
lance from the moment it was made
up. One car was set aside for the use
of the commission and this coach was
scrutinized more closely. perhaps
| than any other. Every article of fur
niture in this car was closely exam
ined by railroad detectives. The con-
tents of all other coaches were giver
an inspection somewhat less pains
taking. but hardly less thorough.

GERMAN AGGRESSION
IN EAST WEAkENS
Operations at Dvinsk Have Come to
"a StandstII.

Petrograd, Sept 27, via London,
$50 p. m.-The German aggressive
on the eastern front has become no.
ticeably weaker during the past few
days. With the increasing extent of
their penetration of Russian territory
the impetus strides with which the
Germans for a time made fast head
way, against the Russians carrying
everything before them, have been
gradually shortening up. At the same
time the Russian opposition, with the
replenishment Of the army's military
supplies, is growing daily more stub
horn and resort is being had to bayo-
net attacks with apparently all the
confidence and vigor that carried the
Russian arms last winter to the
cEests eof the Carpathians.
The. efforts made to trap the Rus
sian armies Fetreating from Wilma
failed, as did the similar efforts made
last summer after. the taking of War
saw, Notwithstanding that the oppor-
tunity for success in the Wilma region
appeared much more promising. The
| assaults upon Dvinsk have been
checked by the brilliant defense OF
General Ruzsky and the operations
| here have come to a temporary stand
| still due to the exhaustion of both
combatants after days of battling.
