FORMER LOCAL
MAN EMBARKS IN
A NEW VENTURE
CHARLES w. MEIGHAN ORGAN
IZES ADVERTISING AGENCY
MAKING GOOD.

Charles w. Meighan, former local
newspaperman. is making good in a
new venture in which he embarked
last year in his old home town, Og-
den. Utah. With his wife. formerly
Miss Paralee HALEY. daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. John HALEY, Jr., he organ
lied the Meighan Advertising Agency
and apparently this institution is fill
ing a need in ogden. A recent issue
Of the ogden Examiner contained a
long account Of his business. the fol-
lowing being an excerpt from the
article:
"The year 1914 saw in ogden the
establishment Of the first advertising
agency the town ever knew In the
six months OF its existence 1t has
grown to such proportions that It is
entitled TO rank with the largest
agencies OF the west.
"In June Charles w. Meighan
opened his agency in a small, modest
office in the Peery-Hudson building.
BY August he had developed his bus
mess TO such an extent that he rented
a portion OF an office in the Eccles
building, and within a month found
II necessary TO still further enlarge
his office by taking more pretenti-
Gus office. Meanwhile, his art work
had developed to such an extent that
he persuaded Frank W. Matthews.
one Of the best commercial artists in
the west to move his offices from Salt
Lake TO ogden. Within a few weeks
the business had grown until rooms
sos and sos in the Eccles building
were taken by the Meighan agency
and the Matthews art shop.
"Today-six months after the
Meighan agency was established-it is
representing in an advertising capa-
city firms with an aggregate capital
Of more than $4,000, 900 and is pre-
pairing and placing advertising am
ounting close to the hundred thousand
dollar mark each year.
From the beginning Mr.. Meighan
struck out from the beaten path of
advertising agencies and refused to
accept the customary commissions
from newspapers and other advertis-
ing mediums. He adopted the slo-

can't arrest them all In a bunch The
German lines are only eighteen miles
from here and its only a twenty min

hangers to Dunkirk. so there Is every
reason to believe that Dunkirk may
expect another afr raid az any day

raid o'nights. II Is only the Zeppelin

Dunkirk has had no night attacks
The Belgian army headquarters Is

the king is living Within twenty four
hours. at least, the Germans would

America hears much about the Bel

Belgian army that it may be suppos-
ed that there is no Belgian army left
The fact is that fifty thousand men
are in the User trenches, another fif-
ty thousand are In reserve and still
another fifty thousand-mOstly youths
are being drilled at various points

still TO be counted on.
