In THE LONG RUN

In the long run development
is less expensive than stagnation
or leaving things as they are.
In the long run an ounce of CO.
operation with others will s4ve a
pound of doing the thing alone
In the long run it is better to
talk things over and understand
our mutual problems than to form
erroneous conclusions based upon
misunderstanding of the facts.
In the long run Clintwood will
be a better community by enfor-
cling law and maintaining order,
than to suffer later by giving
way to minority sentiment for
questionable liberality.

NO MORE DULL" SEASONS

Once an ingenious merchant
discovered that the logical time
to advertise was when bus; ness
was slow and in the period
&c dull seasons of the year. Rid
lculous as it may seem, before
that discovery the average bus
inessman slowed down In his
advertising when business slow
ed down. He generally ended
up the dull seasons with a
quarterly sale, but as far as
his advertising was concerned
there was no advertising when
there was no business.
The modern businessman
holds different conception of
the purpose and uses of news
paper advertising. When bus
mess is not up to his satisfac-
ton he brings it up through in
creased advertising so that
the merchant, schooled in pro-
.1uctlve advertising, knows no
ldull seasons nor diminished
business.
There are a few phases of
business which have always
been known to all businessmen
Among these are the alternat-
lrg busy and dull periods of
the year, month, week and day.
A systematic, effective and &C.
|onomic plan of advertising had
to be constructed upon a full
knowledge of this business cy-
Gle. Business has ever come
without coaXing before Christ

fall. Extensive advertising has

The WONDER WORKER

There is probably somebody
in this great country who does
not know that advertising
pays" but if there is he, or she,
is woefully ignorant of Amer
lean business and commercial
achievement. Those two words,
of the fundamental rules of bus
mess and joined with Service"
spehl success to the business
man who observes them.
All of Americas phenomenal
business enterprises can trace
their growth to large scale ad-
vertising. By advertising the
trade name Kodak" the East
man Company gained preemin-
ence in the manufacture and
sale of cameras and photogra-
|phic supplies. Newspaper adver
Using and the poster board
formed the magic carpet on
which such products as Wrig-
ley's gum, Fletcher's Castoria,
the Ford, the Victor talking
machine and countless others
scared to worldwide fame and
to fabulous wealth for their Gre
|ators and advertisers. Unceas-
ing and unbounded advertising
explains why the American says
Kodak" for camera, "Victrola"
for photograph, "Uneeda Bis
cult for cracker and Hershey
bar" for chocolate bar. In every
kind of business there is some
far seeing and enterprising
manufacturer, distributor or
merchant who places himself
and his product above the COM
mon level by setting advertis-
ing to work for them.
What has been accomplished
in the past through advertis-
ing is duplicated or excelled to-
day by national manufacturers
and local merchants. A new fab
ric is made4famous and given a
national demand almost over
night by widespread advertis-
ing. A new automobile builds up
a national demand for itself
months before it is placed on
display with the aid of extern
slve advertising. In every COM
munity there are old merch-
bants who have retained thriv
ing trade through many
years by regular and heavy adj
vertising or who are building
up prosperous businesses in new
stores by the old rule "advertis-
ing pays" Advertising has be-
come just as essential to bus
mess success as service and
storeroom.

FISHING AND HUNTING
 REPORTS ENCOURAGING
Sportsmen Say it Is Easy for Man to Get Legal Limit In Either
 Fish or Birds.

With ducks gathering in swarms along the shore and two more days before the end of the duck hunting season, New Britain marksmen are said to be gathering along the coast in large numbers this week looking for the birds. Saturday, January 15, is the close of the season for duck hunting.
 Good reports also are coming in on fishing through the ice. The sea- son for ice fishing closes January 31.
 According to reports of sportsmen in the New Britain Fish and Game association, ducks and pickerel are plentiful and it is easy for a man to get his legal limit. Reports are made of a party of three men coming back after a days fishing with 57 pickerel, 10 of which were said to be from two to two and one-half feet long.
 Addresses of men who take out parties duck hunting have been filed at Monier Brothers, headquarters for the Fish and Game association.

ti's Tailor Shop "a fruit store and F. Williams shot store. These places of business were deluged with water while further damage was caused by the thick clouds of smoke which permeated the interior.
 The building stands at the corner of Center street and Center Place. It forms the western end of chain of buildings which reach without interruption to the corner of Main street. Had there been any breeze blowing, it is likely that the entire line of buildings would have been destroyed.
 On the second floor of the building are rooms and tenements. Except for two rooms which are used as a club room by local group of young men, the upper part of the building has been unoccupied for some time. It is thought that some of the fre- quenters of the card room might have carelessly tossed cigarette stub on the floor leaving it there to smolder and start what proved to be the worst fire Southington has had in many years.
 The property is owned by Benja- min Solomon and Emmanuel Rich mon of New Britain and is said to be covered by insurance.
 A checkup today by the managers and proprietors of the stores in the 1ower part of fba hTi1dioC choyed that the stock therein contained, was almost totally destroyed either by water or smoke. The Atlantic & Pacific store and Tomassetti's tail- bring establishment. which stand di- rectly beneath where the fire ragged the worst, suffered heavy damage. al though the other two stores have little choice in the matter of salvag ing their wares.

BLAZE IN CENTER 0F SOU7H|NG7ON
Business District Threatened by
 Early Morning Fire
Especial to the Herald.l

Southington, Jan. 13 R>--A large portion of the business center of Southington was threatened by fire early this morning when damage was done in the Wilcox block On Center street and four stores in the heart of the business district. The cause of the fire was not determined though Chief John Cronin stated that it was apparently started by cigar cite butt thrown in a closet on the second floor.
 Excellent work on the part of the fremen attached to Southington Hose Co. No. l prevented the des- truction of adjoining buildings. all of which are attached to the one damaged today. The Wilcox block is a two and a half story wooden franc structure. The blaze started on the second floor and quickly ate it's way out to the back and to the roof. It was a roaring mass of flames when the alarm was sounded at 2:05 o'clock.
 Chief Cronin and Deputy Chief Thomas Murphy, who are stationed in the fire house which is diagonally across the way. spent but few sec- onds in getting to the scene and stringing hose. The members of the company. all of whom are vol unteers, arrived soon and after a long and hard fight, subdued the roaring mass and got it under con- trol
 Under the direction of Chief Cron- in, lines of hose were set to prevent the fire from creeping into the ad. joining building while a squad of men were &ent in through an attic window to fight the fire from within. Volumes of smoke poured from the windows and other openings made by the flames and this repeatedly drove the firemon out of the building. The water froze as soon as 1t landed and made the work of the fire fighters precarious
 After about an hours fight the flames which had lit the sky for miles around, began to lower and it was only matter of time before the last embers were extinguished.
 The building itself was damaged, it is estimated. to the extent of about s2,5O0 by the flames. but untold havoc was wrought by the sea of water poured into the upper floors by the firemen.
 On the ground floor are four stores. a branch of the Great At lantic & Pacific Tea Co.,, Tomasset-

HURT ARM IN FALL
 FROM BOX GAR
Sustains painful injury but gets quick relief

In a fall from the top of a box car, a freight brakeman on the Chicago and Northwestern Railway badly sprained his left arm and tore some of the liga- ments.
 T suffered great pain," he writes from Belle Plaine, Iowa. "Then I got a bottle of Sloan's Liniment and it relieved the pain right away"
 Sloan's gets results because it doesn't just deaden the pain. It stirs up the body to throw of the cause.
 Just pat it on lightly. No need to rub. Sloan's does the whole job. Get abottle today. All druggists -35 cents.
