The ABC and X Y Z of ADVERTISING A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING tl t written by Seymour Eaton of Philadelphia £ Advertising and news are first cousins. The railroad and the stage coach are grandchild and grandfather. Four out of five advertisers still use stage coach methods. The agency that distributes news has the quickest, cheapest and most effective machinery for distributing advertising. That agency is the newspaper, The man who passes your shop window is going somewhere. He is on some other errand. If you want to catch him when he is not in a hurry put your shop window in the newspaper; a few articles at a time. You can make a hundred and fifty thousand people look at this kind of window every day and with much better selling results than if that hundred thousand walked by your shop one by one. I know a retail store in one of our large cities, a branch of an English house, which until the autumn of 1906 was managed by an Englishman; austere, conservative, dignified; a man who would have been shocked to see his shop advertised in an American newspaper. He had an exclusive trade and his net profits amounted to about $20,000 a year. This Englishman died. His assistant, an aggressive young American, took charge. He advertised; advertised continuously in the best local newspaper. Last year this exclusive shop made a net profit of over SBO,OOO. Why? Simply because there are five hundred thousand well-to-do people in that city who never knew that this shop existed until they saw those advertisements in the newspaper; and the shop has an excellent street location, too. % This is a concrete case, the facts of which I personally know. The Englishman depended upon the quality of his goods and his beautifully crested stationery and his attractive shop window and his perpendicular-backed dress-parade clerks; all of which were above criticism. The young American put the whole show into the newspaper; admission fr e. Show me ten shops which advertise regularly in a daily newspaper and I will show you nine that are making money. The failure of the tenth is probably due to bad management of some sort. Some people value goods by the price they pay; others by the shop in which they buy; others by the effect the goods have upon their neighbors. It is only the common workaday sensible people who value goods by the goods. If you want all four classes as customers it is your business as an advertiser to make the cap fit.

Mr. Sulloway and Mr. Muncie Star, since you say Congressman Adair secured the passage of but six of these bills will you point out the six false claims or else admit that you have knowingly and purposely lied? —Portland Sun.

PRESIDENT IS MAD Determined That Standard Oil Cases Be Heard MAKES STATEMENT Would Consider it a Miscarriage of Justice if Dropped Oyster, Bay, N. Y„ July 25.—President Roosevelt announced in unmistakable terms the determination of the administration to proceed with the prosecution of the Standard Oil case despite the decision adverse to the government handed down by ibe United States circuit court of appeals Wednesday. The decision, the president thinks, in no way affects the merits of the case, and he makes known his decision to cause the action to be brought again before the courts in such shape, if possible as to prevent technicalities interfering with a decision based upon the actual issues involved. The statement in the matter, made public last night by Secretary Loeb. follows: “The president has directed the attorney general to immediately take steps for the re trial of the Standard Oil case. The reversal of the decision of the lower court does not in any shape or way touch the merits of the case, except I in so far as the size of the fine is I concerned. There absolutely no question of the guilt of the defendants or of the exceptionally grave character of the offense. The president would regard it as a gross miscarriage of justice if through any technicalities of any kind the defendant escaped the punishment which would have unquestionably been meted out to any weaker defendant who had been guilty of such offnse. The president will do everything in his power to avert or prevent such miscarriage of justice. With this purpose in view the president has directed the attorney general to bring into consultation Mr. Frank fe. Kellogg in th e matter, and to do everything possible to bring the offenders to justice.” THEY LIKE DALLAS Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Schaler Will Visit Two Weeks in North WILL GO TO ELKHART For a Staj?
