When "Ads" Were Modest Appeals,

A hundred years ago the modest
appeal" rather than the "beating of
the big drum,' was everywhere re-
garded as the acme Of coed ADVERTISE
ment, says The Christian Science
Monitor. So James Platford, in issu-
ing at that time an Invitation to all
ana su1dry, through the columns of
Cowboys Manchester Gazette, II Eng,
land, to visit his Flora Gardens, would
rather do anything than oyerstate his
case.
Deeply impressed with gratitude for
the many favors conferred On him, he
begs leave to inform his numerous
friends and the public generally that
the above garden Is now open for the
entertainment of those who will favor
him with their company. He has also
to inform them that a very respectable
band of music will perform every
Thursday evening, when the admission
will be one shilling each.

Fine Example for Others.

The manager of an English north
country firm, Joseph Thomson, J. p,
was one of the few who, in the early
days Of Ruskin's social reform
schemes, put Rusk+n's ideals into prac-
tice in the organization of his woolen
manufacturing business, observes
Christian Science Monitor. A definite
minimum wage was fixed for the work
ers, and they were given shares which
carried full voting powers at company
meetings. Both men and women en-
joyed this privilege. Ruskin, on hear
ing of Mr.. Thompson's experiment,
wrote to him expressing deep appreci-
alton. 81 cannot sufficiently thank you,"
he said, "for the completely founda-
tional step which you have taken In
the establishment of just and right re-
lationships between yourself and your
employees" The experiment gave
most satisfactory results.

STOREHOUSE
FOR BROOKLYN
BIGGEST IN U. S.
Contracts Signed for Vast
War Depot to Be Built
Under Pressure.

Contracts were signed yesterday
for the erection at Brooklyn. New
York. of the greatest army storage
base ever built on this continent.
The erection OF the new depot will
have precedence over all other con-
struction work contemplated by the
War Department. It is believed that
|it will be in full operation when
snow flies.
The new plant will be a power
fu1 factor in decreasing railroad
congestion at New York terminals.
up to the present It has been nee
essary to use thousands of cars
loaded with war supplies as store
houses. Many of these cars have
been held for months before they
could be unioaded. and at one time.
more than 5000 carloads of war
munitions were unloaded upon the
ground at freight terminals.
The Brooklyn base will have fou,
huge piers. one Of which will be
used for lighters. The new storage
W r e houses will have 5000, 600
square feet of storage space. This.
in. conjunction with 100000 square
feet Of space at a quarterms ster's
depot now being erected at another
port. and the storage facilities at
the main quartermaster's depot at
Philadelphia, viii provide ample
storage for the millions of tons of
supplies to. be produced in Ameri-
can factories this summer.
