That is something very essential to

You are wise in seeking it.
But why not consult the dealer on the
subject?
Ask one hundred dealers what kind
of advertising they prefer and ninety

This newspaper advertising in1u-

be made and anxious to be in right
Hugh Duffy is seeking an option on
grounds in Springfield. Mass, and may
take the Portland franchise there If
matters do not look better to him here
than they do at present. One big COM
plant Mr.. Duffy has, and a thing which
bothers hundreds of the fans, in fact, is
that there is no spur track running to
Bayside Park from Oxford street. Alb
sence of such a track keeps some 200 or
800 fans from each game, especially when
clouds threaten rain and Mr.. Fan figures
that he will have a wet walk up the hill
to Oxford street in such an event. An
other thing which hurts is the stagnant,
molasses-for- blood, vein equipment of
numbers Of men who assemble outside
the fence at Bayside and watch the
game either from the tops Of numbers
of business house wagons and auto
trucks drawn up along the fence or
watch it through a fence which has been
honeycombed with holes by the fans.
Mr.. Duffy feels that the railroad COM
pany should seek track rights to the
park and he also feels that the asso-
citation which owns the park should pro-
tect his rights by fencing which would
cut off the piker graft.
