FIRST CHATHAM:

SINCE BLIZZARD.
Followed Snowplow Out of Local
Yard This Forenoon la.

Last Saturday Returned Here
This Morning

| . tt 4
The first train since last Friday
left this forenoon overYt the Chatham
division of the Rutland railroad. The
line has been completely blocked
since the blizzard of last Saturday
and a strenuous effort has cen neces-
sary to open the road for traffic.
At 6 o'clock this morning two loco
motives that left heres yesterday re-
turned with the snowplow that had
been stuck in a drift atN0ld Chatham
since Saturday. Crews of men sent
out from Bennington and from Chat
ham have been constantly at work
ever since the storm and during the
night the road was opened.
The men working out from Chat
ham cleared the larger portion OF
track but they were not confronted
with the conditions existing between
Bennington and Petersurgh Junction.
The pow which went off the track
in this village twice Saturday morn
ing and again at Anthony crossing,
two miles west of Old Bennington,
was so badly battered ins huckin gthe
drifts that it was put out of commits
sion and was left on the siding at
Anthony.
Late this forenoon a plow and To-
comotive were sent out of the local
yard to put the finishing touches on
the clearing up job. 1t was followed
by the first train to leave over the
line since the storm.
Trains on the main line are now
running fairly close to schedule The
sleeper from the north was nearly
two hours late this morning but the
forenoon mail from New York was
nearly on time.

plorable condition. In some places the
center is so high that the bottom of a
car drags. and everywhere the high
way is deeply rutted No dobbt the dry
weather is largely responsible for this
condition, as there has been no mois-
ture throughout the winter to settle
the ground and the heavy travel with
autos has ground and pulverized the
roadway until there is nothing to it
but dust and ruts.

A FIRST CLASS PRODUCT.

Housewives can no more help read
ing the advertisements of the Pacific
Coast Biscuit Company than they can
resist the temptation of trying on the
first new spring bonnets.
Pacific Coast Biscuit Company pro-
ducts, especially the Snow Flake salt
ed cracker, have become a necessity
OF the housewife who is anxious to put
on her table dainty and tasty crack
er that will satisfy the palates of all
whom she may serve.
The quality of the Snow Flake can
not be improved. Those who buy it
first buy it again, and the matter of
extending the demand was brought
about by extensive, well-placed and
attractive advertising.
Women are the greatest ad readers
in the world. They depend upon them
for Information regarding bargain
sales, the price of groceries, quality
of dress goods and the style of the new
spring bonnet. The business of the ad
writer, then, is to attract the eye OF
the housewife to his one particular
ad. Drawings, cOlOrs, photographs,
short, snappy sayings, are often re-
sorted to. and some times are mislead-
ing, and once misled the purchaser
seldom forgets or forgives.
In the Pacific Coast Biscuit COM
pany's ads the package is used to de-
mand attention. Some appropriate
drawing underneath enhances the APP
pearance Of the ad, and brief, illumin-
ating reasOn-why statements are made
regarding the Pacific Coast Biscuit
company's products, and their super
iority over others, to complete the ad.
1t sounds easy, it looks easy, but 1t
is not SO easily done when one takes
into consideration the psychological
factors of attention and the business
of choosing the proper mediums to
introduce the product to the public.
When you read Snow Flake adver-
tisement You are reading about Il
cracker that has achieved the greatest
possible fame in the shortest possible
time, due very largely to quality
that is almost unapproachable, and
the proper publications in which such
ads are run.
