Trying to succeed In busine without advertising is like the case of the man who, trying to cut expenses, divorced his wife and alone attempted to keep house and raise his children.

When advertising is divorced, business success becomes failure This paper is building your neighbor's business. He has reasons. He tried advertising and it helped him.

COFFROTH IS NOT IN WITH TEX ON THE BIG MILL Salt Lake City Will in All Probability Get Jeffries J ohnson Pleasantry on July 4.

New York, Dec. 6. "Tex" Rickard said today that the big fight in all probability would go to Salt Lake City, Utah. The picturesque mining man was strongly in favor of Salt Lake, most of all because it was a natural railroad ana tne attendance would be greatly benefited by the selection. The Goldfield man seemed to he worried about the story now. going the rounds that Jimmy CofTroth is the man behind him and in reality is the man running the show. Rickard made himself plain in the matter. "I will gamble with any one who thinks that Coffroth has a finger in any part of this match," he said. "Gleason and myself are carters in this, share and share alike. I will bet my income from the first month's picture returns that Coffroth hasn't, and will not have, one single penny-worth of interest In this fight." George Little, manager for Johnson was equally positive that Coffroth has no strings on this fight. He said: ' 1 11 wager $5,000 tiiat CofTroth hasn't anything to do with this fight. People think because Gleason was hooked up with him in one of (he bids that he must be associated with Gleason and Rickard now. I'll bet that amount that Jim's hands are up in the air and that Gleason and Rickard are the sole promoters of the contest.
