"The Best Christmas AID We Ever

OSco
THE enormous days business pro-
duced by single piece of our copy last
year was due to the attraction it had
for women folks" states o. A.Engel
advertising manager of the Hub, one
of the largest mems stores in Chi-
cago.
This may appear to be a strange
admission. when it is considered that
we cater exclusively to men. but it's
the truth. We always believed that a
great part of the high-priced mems
wear gifts purchased at Christmas
time were bought by women, and the
advertisement in question proved our
theory.
The copy wasn't large, as such
things go, measuring about ITS lines
by three columns. Neither was 1t
crowded with type. Line sketches of a
cane, tie and some gloves appear
ed at the upper left-hand corner, bal
anced by a sketch of a bath-gown
and some socks in the lower right
hand corner. with one or two Christmas
decorations at the top and bottom. In
fact, it had just enough trimmings
to suggest the Christmas spirit.
THE idea of bringing women in to
inspect our goods was apparent from

1t is well to reterate that the money derived

This clarion cry is"It Is blessed to give than

Florida Press Opinion,
First to Suggest Democratic Convention


The Gainesville Sun wants to claim right now.
that it the first paper to suggest the necessity
for such convention, and it after exchanges of
views between Senator William A. Russell, OF Put
nam, editor Cat that time) of Palatka News and
ourselves that the senator introduced and procured
the passage of the senate resolution providing for
such convention. We do not mean that we suggest
ed the idea to him. We only agreed with his views
and so wrote. There is truer democrat ADLER
man in this state than Russell of Putnam.
Such convention should be called and, trust,
when Chairman Raney puts the matter up to the
state democratic executive committee, they will call
it. The party, far state politics is concerned,
is all 'at sea-" We have had platform upon which
to stand since the convention that nominated Will
liam S. Jennings for governor. That the sixteen

and rechanged until confusion has become worse

Some Florida papers have argued that do not
need state platform. That might be true far

however, many things reserved to the state under
the constitution that make state platform quite
necessary. If there time when the de
mocracy' of Florida needed one--that time is now
