JOHN WANAMAkER
 ON ADVERTISING
SAYS INFORM THE PUBLIC WHAT GOODS YOU HAVE FOR
 SALE.

Jchn wanamaker in letter to the Associated Advertising Clubs o' America. in session in Philadelphis, declared his experience has demon. strated that the only advertising ot direct and instant benefit to both merchant and customer is in the daily newspaper"
 When this little store closed its doors on it's first day of business away back in 1861 the sum of $24.67 was found in the old-fashioned till under the counter; the 67 cents was left there for making change next morning and the S24 was taken out by the founder and spent with the newspapers, which were asked sim, ply to say that the new store was open and doing business, and had a good stock of goods useful to the people
 Our little allowance of advertis- ing money went to the newspapers then. as it goes, nearly altogether, today. because, if ever have a monument for finding out that. the only advertising of direct and instant benefit to both merchant and GUS toner. is in the daily newspaper of known circulation. All others are vanity and vexetion of spirit. To have learned his fact has greatly helped my enterprises, though often there has been serious discomfort in saying so publicly and breaking away from posters. leaflets and weeklies.
 Through 55 years of experience we have not been able to discover i that there was any oher rightful function of advertising than to do just one thing-to inform the pub lie that the merchant had brought in i certain goods, with a proper descrip- ton of them and what the honest i prices were

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO

Would Rock Island people recon-
mend DOan's Kidney Pills as they do
# the medicine were not relia BILE?
Would they confirm their statements
after years have elapsed if their ex-
periences did not show the remedy to
be deserving Of it? Statements like
the following must carry conviction
70 the mind of every reader:
Michael CorcOran, blacksmith, Mauck-
or hotel, Rock Island, says: Il suffer
ed from irregular action Of my kid
neys and pains through my back.
Doan's Kidney Pills stopped the pains
in my back and regulated the action
Of my kidneys" Statement given
May II, 1922
over two years later Mr.. CorCoran
said: Il have every bit as much faith
IN Doan's Kidney Pills today as when
I recommended them some years ago.
Since then, on several occasions when
I have had an attack Of kidney com
plant. due to hard work, l have used
Deans Kidney Pills and have never
failed to receive prompt relief"

cilities as thoroughly modern as TIL
carriers themselves.
What These New Craft are Like.


The new craft are like nothing that
ever piled the inland rivers before.
They look like a cross between a
canal boat and motor boat.
The hull of Inco No. l is 24O feet
long and AZ feet wide. 1t is all steel,
bridge-structured divided into four
bulk-headed. water tight and alright
compartments. No cargo goes into the
hull.
Upon the hull is superimposed a
cargo box of removable steel sides and
top matches, 200 feet by 40 feet Load
ed with l 900 tons Of cargo the barge
will draw seven and a half feet of
water.
Four 51-inch propellOrs are driven
by fdhr internal combustion engines.
There is only simple operating
navigation box upon a steel bridge
mounted amidships-nO other super
structure. In place of stage planks, -
is a travelling gantry crane mounted
astride the cargo box and clearing the
navigation bridge. 1t can deposit car
go IS feet from the ships side. The
Inco No. / cost $94. $50. and carries
more freight than the largest steam
boats could ever bear. though some OF
them cost hundreds of thousands.
The crew of the Robert E. Lee con-

known, is chairman of the board Of di-
rectors Of the corporation. John H.
Bernard is the executive head of its
actual conduct English capital has
been supplemented by the pledges Of
men in New York, st. Louis and New
Orleans.
Offices are open in New York and
St. Louis and New Orleans. There are
agencies in Memphis, Cairo, Green
Vile Minneapolis, and Chicago.
Tariffs as complete and elaborate as
any issued by any railroad set forth
the rates and conditions of business.
Cooperative association has been
arranged with all the companies
operating old-fashioned packet steam
boats out of the river towns to the way
landings and smaller shipping points,
as well as with the amply financed
Kansas City and Missouri River Navi-
cation company operating boats and
barges between Kansas City and st.
Louis
Freight is solicited for delivery on
through bills of lading, to amy desti-
nation to which the use of the routes
of the Inland Navigation company's
craft furnishes a logical transporta-
ton link
Steamship outlet and feeders at
New Orleans have been arranged TO
Europe. South America, the Pacific
coast of the United States, and thence
to Asia and to Alaska.
Many railroads have been enlight-
ened enough to agree TO traffic in
terchange. Suits against others for
through bills of lading have been filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sion
This is the vision in the view Of the
Inland Navigation company: A move
ment of heavy. lOng-distance traffic,
between the great concentration and
distributing river and lake ports,
with transshipment between ships ami
river craft. or between river craft
and the railroads rendered efficient

sisted of 125 officers. engineers, mates.
deck hands and ''roustabouts." Twelve
experts handle the Inco No. I. She is
keyed and wired and telephoned and
guaged, to save steps, avoid smoke,
and eliminate friction, mechanical or
human.
On the IncO No ! a skilled navigat-
or will sit in the navigation room
Dials and guages before him win
show the depth fore and aft and amid
ships, the trim by head or stern, the
list to either side, the revolutions per
minute Of either propeller. By levers
at his hand he can control the speed of
the boat. can stop her or send her
astern, can alter the trim" or the
list to ease her off shoals, can start or
stop the pumps. BY phone he can talk
man or the sailor on watch.
The wireless operator will be almost
at his elbow to talk to the main offices
in New Orleans and ST Louis
1t is as far cry from the Inco No
| to the Robert E. Lee-which is still
type for other river craft-as it is
from a U-boat or a uper-dreadnaugh
to the wooden frigates of Farragut
and Porter.
And the Inco No. l is the smallest
and the cheapest of the whole fleet of
80 which. if the first squadron sue
ceeds, is to be completed in shipyards
at St. Louis and New Orleans.
Sister boats already launched are of
1000 and 5000 tons respectively. One
great craft is planned to be over 300
feet long, so feet wide, and to bear
5000 tons of cargo-but still on a
draft of only seven and half feet-at
a speed of Is miles an hour.
This boat, however, Will cost
$4,000.

which have produced a transportation

great part, removed.
The Water Way is the Valley Way.
For y years the Mississippi valley

happen when the Panama canal is
finished"
II was finished. Nothing happened
that helped Much came about that
hurt.
The reason is evident: The valley
could not use the rivers to connect
up with the gulf-and-canal route to
the Pacific markets and sources of
supplies. The Atlantic seaboard did
use the ocean.

Gentlemen: Kindly send me your
paint oatalog, also your book sh owing
your various types Of dwelling houses.
In regard to your paints, 1t may be
OF interest to you to know that three
years ago. 1 ordered a sufficient
quantity or your paint to finish my
residence and barn. After complet-
ing them, I put up number Of out
buildings, chicken houses, hog sheds.
ETC. for which l required more paint
Not wishing TO wait the length of
time 1t would take for another ship
meut to reach me from Davenport, l
decided TO use paint purchased local
ly. and by way of experiment bought
small quantities OF a number of diff
ferent brands, the prices of which
ranged all the way from $3.50 to s25O
per gallon The method. time and
number OF coats used was the same
IN each case. one coat of primer and
che coat Of finish.
without mentioning the names Of
the various brands used. will say
that the highest priced paint which
| used, pure lead paint. was the
hrst to go back on me. for in less than
a year it showed signs Of chalking
and discoloring from the action Of
mildew. One after the other they
each failed. some through the same
fault as the first. others through
cracking and peeltng. so at the pres
ent time your paint is the only one
remaining and still giving servica
l wish to order some more paint
this fall and will ask you to send me

The climate Of the Gulf Coast coun-
try ts the severest test I have found
that outside paint could be put to, the
salt air, the long damp spells incl
dent to our winter weather and the
hot summer sun. all contributing TO
the rapid failure of same.
In view OF the foregoing facts,
taken together with the general dis
satisfaction given by the paints sold
locally, none Of which sell for less
than $3.50, I would suggest that you
make a special effort TO. advertise your
paints locally. / feel sure that as
their excellent wearing qualities be-
come known. that this, together with
their very low price, would succeed
in ablishing them as the paint
am sure, that an investigation of
what I claim for your paints in the
Gulf Coast Country, would surely paw
you. being based on an absolutely
fair trial
Very truly yours,
