STORIES OF SUCCESS

Many stories could be told from
the history Of advertising. showing
the fortune that came to many con
Germs when they began to talk to
the public about their product.
Newspaper advertising started q
big demand for. OSulliyan rubber
heels, and induced merchants to
buy who had meyer bought before
getting distribution in New
York City alone OF 4 10000 pairs
The success of ~CaloS" through
advertising in a remarkable story,
During 1919 tho demand for this
product became so great that ad
ycrtising had to be suspended tom
pcrarily TO permit the makers to
catch UP with the demand. to do
which they had to triple their fac.
tory capacity. One campaign con-

years of advertising in other ways,

Before any of these advertisements
had been published. the goods had
been ordered by $500 New York City
dealers, and this brand had an
amazingly large sale. aoyf-
Another startling success was won
IN Boston by aytoilet soap company
which understood a campaign in
the Boston newspapers. Their re-

canvass that did not touch the big

These are sample illustrations of
what advertising does on a big
scale for progressive Business con

results proportionately in our own

is the same here as in New York or

The Time to Begin Buying

Two statements that contradict each other cannot
both be true Therefore, either of the things that
The Cheftan has been printing good faith upon the
subject of 'Thrift'' not truc else of the
arguments recently circulated in favor Of starting

No possible good be accomplished foi anyone
by urging people to br' things they do not need just
for the sake of buying No sensible person will be in
fuencod by that kind of talk, which is plainly
sonable.
1t is true that present conditions unusual, but
govern business.
The time to begin buying is when there is some
thing that needs and when it possible to get what
one needs at reasonable price that pay.
u is unreasonable to expect anyone at any time to
bay things that does not need
II is equally unreasonable at this time to go with
cut things that really needs. There has been a
sharp decline from in most lines and there Is
a general understanding among sellers that the old
prices will return But the other hand there

things with prospect of benefit.
1t would be good thing for business and for the
nation if people would forget altogether about the
peculiar present condition, and go ahead in the old way
of buying what they need, when they need t-no more

CANON CITY, TOO,

Special TO The Chiettain:
Canon City, Colo, Jan. 25.-whilc
many neighboring localities have been
experiencing billiards, heavy snow
falls and temperatures far below the
freezing point, Canon City during the
past few days has enjoyed a spring
like climate with practically no snow
fall. Autoists starting out into the
hills have become surprised at the
snow drifts encountered, on tho high
ways and in most cases havo been
obliged to return.

rest OF tho way to tho post office.
When he came back to his car 1t was
practically covered and he was unable
to back it out OF the drifts. A heavy

lease the car. He eventually succeed
cd in getting out and arrived in Canon
City nearly "a hours behind his

But this is only the beginning of the difficulty
| Starting with the proposition that Germany ought
to pay, and pay, all that she can, how is the

that it will build up German industry and break
down the competitive industries of other lands. 1t must
not be paid in such way to destroy German industry
and prevent that nation from recstabshns itself
a nation able to hold place among civilized nations
There things that the Allies must not permit in
justice to themselves There other things that they
must not permit in justice to the German people, because
injustice to the German people will be in the end
justice to themselves.
Under such conditions it is not strange that differ
have arisen between European statesmen with
gard to the methods by which Germany must mokc
rcparations.

The British more inclined to the view that the
German people have rights that not forfeited in the
wild adventure of the imperial German government and
that paupcrizcd Germany will not be consistent with
the European safety.
1t is not to be presumed, however, that these differ
OF opinion will result in serious break between
the British and French As matter of fact, they are
both right and both views ought be taken into
sideration in reaching the final decision which

Damascus, the oldest existing town in
the world. There is was that these
rich silk brocades called "damask'
were made. and it is from the namo
of tho city that their name is de-
rived-a name which has also been
given to the linen with wonderfully
woven designs. now made in Scotland
and ireland.
Tho origin of the name Damascus
itself is suggestive, for 1t means "ac-
tivity". 1t was noted spot even in
the days of Abraham, whose steward
was Eliezer of Damascus. and in later
centuries il was the scene of tho ro-
mantle story of Mailman tho leper.
Soon after Naaman's time, Damascus
was captured by the Assyrians, and for
many years 1t remained a dependency
of that empire. In 654 a. D.. II was
