When they had covered 80 miles,
in day and a half, Penn decided
he had sufficient territory to meet
his needs. It was mutually agreed
that the remainder of the purchase
should be walked out" at some
future time.
Long years after the death of
Penn the Indians had reason to
mourn his death. When the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania determined
to complete the purchase of land,
he hired the fastest walkers he
could find, an action bitterly resented
by the Indians. One of the walkers
covered Sc miles in the allotted day

distance walked by Penn. The final
purchase was made September 20,

THE WALKING PURCHASE.

The Province of Pennsylvania was
granted to William Penn by Charles
II in settlement of a large debt which
the Crown owed to the estate Of his
father, Admiral Sir William Penn.
Although accepting the Kings set
tlement, Penn did not consider he
had clear title to the land until
he had paid the Indians for it.
A price was agreed on between
Penn and the Indians for as much
land as could be walked over in three
days. To insure that no unfair ad-
vantage be taken of a friendly people
oy attempting great walk" Penn
himself was one of the party.
The walkers started at the mouth
OF the Neshanuny," according to an
old history, and hiked up the Del

Newspaper publishers and ma

Of the country at a meeting held
in Chicago to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the Audit Bureau
of Calculations, heard Allan T.
Preyer. chairman Of the board of
the Association OF National Ad-
vertisers. and vice president Of
Wick Chemical company, give a
dramatic and graphic story on the
value of continuous and persistent
advertising in newspapers-in de-
preston years as well as in periods
Of prosperity.
Outstanding facts in Preyer's
story showed that the Wick COM
pany. starting in 1905, in q few
small newspapers in North Caro-
lima soon learned that newspapers
sold its products rapidly and,
therefore. could afford to add more
newspapers. First a few nearby
newspapers were added. and then
more distant newspapers were
used. until, section-by-section and
newspaper by newspaper Wick
company became a national busi-
ness with regular day-to-day
schedules running In more than
1.400 daily papers.
Today, after "a years Of exist
ence, according to Mr.. Preyer, the
Wick company is not only national,
but international in scope. 1t does
business and advertises in more
than 10 different countries.
