THE BEST MEN IN DEMAND

The BEST MEN in DEMAND
John McGraw, manager of the
New York Giants, has paid $4,000
for Jimmy O'Connell, an unusually
promising young player of the San
Francisco baseball club O'Connell's
salary is not mentioned in the dis
patches, but it will be high beyond
doubt.
Baseball, which is merely a sport
for most of us, is career for a
chosen few, and a highly lucrative
enc. But there is money in baseball.
snly for the top-notchers. Only
those who can play the game a great
deal better than the rank and file
eet big salaries.
And this Is true Of any other busi-

sals Is the man who goes to the top,
whether It is baseball, or the law, OF
merchandising, or bartering or shoe

ADVERTISING HELPS CREDIT

ADVERTISING dELfS ChEDII
There is one way by which b busi-
ness man credit Is improved, and
mat is by a policy of consistent ad-
vertising. Bank men believe in adver-
Using, for they know It pays, Their
feeling, therefore, is that when a
merchant who is a good advertiser
applies for q loan, that a reason
able amount of goods, bought by him
On credit, is likely to be turned over
quickly and promptly paid for, on
account of his methods of keeping
his goods constantly before the pub
kc. The banker would have conf
dence that the good would be dis
posed of and turned into cash before
they got out of dat or shopworn.
Discriminating buyers of every
class they can get fresh goods from
the store that advertises The mer'
chant who advertises seldom has
shopworn goods. And in that way
advertising helps the merchants
credit not only with the banks bu
with his customers. And one is JUS
as important as the other.

tie clearance is permitted, there Is
danger of the magnets striking the

thc burning of deposits by excess air
would go on very slowly, if indeed it
would be appreciable. The fact that
the deposits are on water-cooled sur
races and are thus prevented from
becoming very hot, makes the likeli-
mood of their burning in excess air,
rather problematical.
