BOOSTS TOM PICKLES
in HIS new JOB

The Publishers Auxiliary, the house
organ Of the Western Newspaper
Union, with which Tom H. Pickels,
formerly of Richmond, has been con-
nected since he left Richmond sew
eral years ago, makes the following
complimentary mention of his pro-
motion to the managcrship of tine
Baltimore office, which will oe read
with interest by his many fiien,ls
at home here:
Meet Mr.. Pickcls, of Baltimore
The Auxiliary is pleased this week
to introduce Thomas H. Pickels, just
appointed manager of the Baltimore
Office of the Western Newspaper
Union, to fill the acancy occasioned
by the resignation of George r. Bel
lows, for many years manager of that
Office
MIR. Pickles brings to the Baltimore
field broad experience in the news,
paper business, cheerful, optimism
that is contagious, and sunny spark
ling personality, which insures his
welcome in that splendid territory.
and his success as manager.
Born in Richmond, KY, in the hear
of the famous blue grass region, he
grew up in the wholesome atmosphere
of the section, taking his B. A. de-
grecs at the University of Kentucky.
While in college his interest in jour
nalism was awakened and he did con-
siderable work for the college paper.
On leaving school he became the
owner and editor of the Richmond
Register, one of the oldest and best
weekly papers in the state, For 10
years he conducted the Register, dur
ing which period he made it leader
in its field and a political power to
reckon with.
The field cramped Tom, however,
and, as he expresses it, desiring TO
get into the "Big League, he sold
the Register and accepted position
with the Cincinnati office of the West
Elm Newspaper, Union as traveller, He
was an instant success as a sales
man, and since that time has spread
good cheer and the gospel of service
from Florida to the st. Lawrence,
having been attached to various
branches.
In every field he made legion Il
friends. He left the New York Of
fee to take charge at Baltimore.
We believe the publishers of the
Baltimore territory are to be CO.., graf
ulated upon the acquisition of Mr.
Pickels, whom they will find an ener
getic, resourceful,, courteous gentle
man, whose experience has been such
as to oe of value to them. And they
nay be assured it will be at theii
command.
But please spell Mr.. PiclsePs name
with the "el." He is not the COM
mon OF garden variety.

Washington, Dec. l5-Three
thousand small newspapers face
suspension, if not extinction, un-

Anthony, republican, Of Kansas,
told the House postoffice commit
tee today, in urging a favorable
report on his bill to limit the size
of newspapers and periodicals us

publishing companies buying all
the news print they can lay their
hands on. He, said the situation
for the small publishers is all but
tragic.

FAMOUS MAGICIAN
COMES WEDNESDAY

What is said to be gold mine
of irrepressible laughter. fun,
tricks, and amusement will be in
Richmond, Wednesday, Decen-
Der 18th, at the Opera House.
Who can ever forget the first
magic performance he ever saw?
.Awesome, wasn't it, to see "easy
money picked out of the air,
eggs from peoples noses, (and
eggs 75c per dozen-you hoped
Magi would not lose his nerve
and drop 'em) and guinea pigs
from their hats. A sure-enough-
er-to-be-f forgotten experience
even if you didn't get any of the
money, eggs, pigs or oranges, at
a time when prices were so fan
cyl. These are the simple stunts
How many of us have seen a real
ily first class performance by a
Master? Probably one in ten.
The Hermann performance is
the most complete magic pro-
gram ever staged; special set
tings, gorgeous paraphernalia and
properties and a large force of as
sistants are necessary to put on
this matchless exhibition Of mys-
terry and diablerie.
The Great Herrmann's unrival-
ed skill is the product of thirty
years of diligent study under his
uncle, Alexander Hermann the
Great. Every branch of the mys-
tic art has been investigated by
the Great Hermann. Natural
genius, diligent study, deep re-
search and original thought have
made his a Master Mind in magic.
With the Great Hermann
comes Nine. Creatore and her fa-
nous musical organization, the
dancing DuBrowns, exhibiting all
classes of dancing and some abso-
lutely new ones, the Ferraros, the
laugh provokers, Mile. Dazza,
Marie, Toulinor and beautiful Jes-
sic Smith.
