GERMAN COTTON
SPINDLES THIRD

Berlin, May 26.-The Bremen firm
of Hagedorn, in a report on the con-
tinental cotton situation, states that
Germany through the loss of Alsace-
Lorraine has lost one sixth of her cot
ton industry, but is still third after
the United States and Great Britain
in the number of spindles and looms.
The German cotton industry is
working at 25 to 80 per cent normal
and Hagedorn estimates that to oc-
cupy the Continental looms it would
require 100000 bales of American
cotton during the next six months.

the commercial progress of the
world, so far as it interests them
and you.
You may think that long resi-
dence i'm the community and your
reputation for the square deal is
sufficient; but the fact that you
are an old resident and are we'll
known is all in your favor as an
advertiser; for the people who
know you and admire your ster-
ling qualities, will believe every
word in your advertisements, and
when you announce the arrival of
new goods, or that you have such
and such things to sell, it puts
them in mind of the fact that they
need or soon will need the article
which you are offering, and they
will go to you because you have
advertised the thing they need.
The better and more favorably
business man is known in his
community the greater the value
of advertising to him; for his an
nouncements are backed up by his
good reputation.
