X - : DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE? ] .Peoplc Who Spend Immense Sumsin Ad- ' vertising. 1 The following article from the South Bend Tribune is respectfully dedicated to some of you fellows who claim there i{s nothing in advertising: “Does it pay to advertise?” is a question every business man asks bhimself. .. If he wishes to extend his businees it s if he doesen’t then he should let rtising elone. “Hires’ Root Beer” pa: es used to be peddled on the streets of Philadelphia flve years ago at 25 cents a package. Last springand gummer, in five months’ time $500,000 was spent advertising it—sloo,ooo a e month . That took nerve. H. E. Buck,‘gfi’ffien, an old Elkhart boy, who started ~ with nothing and used the first SI,OOO he aceumulated advertising “King’s I (scovery,” “Arnica Salve” and one or two other preparations, now advertises with locals in every paper in the United States from Florida to Alaska. Harper Bros, of New York, spend SI,OOO a week advertising their books. Beecham’s pills are advertised in the United Btates to the extent of $250,000 a year. Five vears ago the Lydia Pinkham '--fiz;:ra.tious were advertised $200,000 and had been extensively advertised for years. It was determined to let the medicines seil on their merits, and stop advertising. This was done for four years and the business dropped off at such an alarming rate that advertising was resumed last year and on a larger sc-le than ever to regain the lost business. The advertising of Hood, Ayer, Vogler, Dr. Pierce averages from $250,- - 000 to $500,000 a year each. John Wan amaker's store advertises to the extent of $200,000 a year and he pays one man £5,000 a year to write his advertisements. The Humphreys Homeopathic Medicine Company spent $150,000 last year and claim the advertising paid them well. Many merchants and business men spend from onefith to one-tenth of their profits in advertising. They advertise persistently all the year round. One firm in South Bend a few years ago advertised, spasmodically, in all, perhaps, three months in the whole year. A new departure was taken, a Jarge advertisement was run the year round in the Tribune, at a cost of abont S2OO a year. The sales were fncreased $560,000 that year. The advertisements were changed each week gud prices always given.

WALKERTON, ST. JOSEPH C()UN'I‘Y,

LOCAL BRIEFS. e The Bristol Banner has been enlarged to a six-column quarto.’ The Presbyterian Sunday school will be held each Sunday at 12 o’clock, commencing next Sunday in the newly repaired church. - The National Horse Show will be held in Chicage Nov. 28—Dee. 3, 1892. Fare for round trip from Walkerton, on the I. & 0., will be $2.85. Henry Smith, of the Island, was able to be out last Tuesday, the first for over § week, having been laid up with a severe attack of sickness. Rev. Horace Keeley, the evangelist, and pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place, has a fine private library embracing twelve hundred volumes. The South Bend Tribune says 1 price of wheat does not worry Geor Mathews, a young man who farms on ‘business principles in Center township, that county. He raised 1,100 ‘bushels of potatoes this season off of ‘nine acres of ground, and notwithstanding the present high prices, he ‘has stored them for still higher prices, which he believes will appear next spring. The government census office has issued a bulletin giving the statistics of the manufactures of South Bend in 1890. The features of the bulletin are stated as follows: Number of establishments reported, 161; number of industries reported, 46; capital invested, $10,141,642; hands employed, 5,341; wages paid, $2,389,358; cost of materials used, $4,150,488; value of products, $8,427,158. Some time ago a buggy belonging to John Dare was left at Groshans’ blacksmith shop for repairs. The buggy was repaired and left outside at the rear end of the shop. One morning it was missing and it was supposed for several days that Mr. Dare had come oped that the vehi:fle had been” sfimf f [t was a two-seated buggy and quite a good one. Nothing has been heard from it up to this writing—Wednesday. It is reported that silver ore has been discovered on the farm of Hon. Chris Holler, near Crumstown, this county. In driving a well the metal was found at a depth of 106 feet. A sample of the metal was taken to a South Bend jeweler who declared that it contained silver. When the weather will permit, Mr. Holler will begin prospecting, although he does not think the metal abounds in suflicient quanties to pay for operating. ~ “Richard and his sweetheart Nell,” } song and chorus, quarto, sent free to any address by Studebaker Bros. Mfg. Co., or may be had by calling at their i repository, South Bend, Ind. The verses relate the story of a drive taken by Richard and Nell. The title page has an elegant picture, especially designed by the artist, Gray Parker, showing Richard and hissweetheart about starting out on their memorable drive. The words, of course, constitute a love 1 story. The share in it of the Studebaker is merely incidental. The melody is delightful, and was composed for the words by the well known musical writer, W. F. Sudds. | Two matters that the coming legislature should take under consideration,

says the Indianapolis Sun, are the fee l system and the present method of paying justices of the peace. Ivery public official should be placed on a fair salary and the fee robbery should be wiped out completely. It is beyond question that the present justice system is vicious because it encourages persons to go to law rather than discourages them. It is not uncommon that attaches of justice courts do their best to “work up trade” for justices, and many cases are begun that never should have found their way into a public record. Another questionable feature of these courts is that star chamber sessions are not frequent. Such sessions permit bad men and women to annoy and harass their victims without the knowledge of the publie, |and they also allow wrong-doers to | cover their tracks. A complete re- | organization of the methods of proceed- | ure in these courts, and the adoption | of the salary system is a work to which the legislature should attend.

Dr. M. M. Boggs has succeeded BenJamin G. Whitehead as editor and proprietor of the Macy Monitor. The first issue of the paper under its new management shows great improvement, and some of the old-time life and interest which characterized it when Bro. Enyart was at the helm. On November 26, 29 and December 2 the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will sell excursion tickets to Chieago, 111., at a very low rate, on account of the tive days, including dayof s 11 The gold bricl«®indler, the same one who flee Ced Swygart at South Bend, bas been captured and is in charge of Marshel Rose at Newburgh, N. Y., who will bring the sharper to South Bend. The man is “Red” Austin, who stands at the head of his profession, gold-brick swindling being his specialty. The Bremen Enquirer is writing up the business and public interests of that place, giving it in weekly installments. The articles are written in an interesting manner and nicely illustrated. Such newspaper enterprise is of great benefit to a town, in many ways, and should be substantially appreciated by the beneficiaries—the business men and citizens. { The demoecratic jollification in this place Tuesday evening was of a mild form, in fact there was no formal ratification over the election. The democrats had made all arrangements to hold quite a demonstration last Saturday evening but the weather being so bad they were obliged to postpone it, which action seemed to knock the life out of the affair altogether, and they were unable to recover lost motion.

A horse and buggy of Peter Awald’s, which was hitched on Avenue ¥, was driven away last Saturday evening about 9 o'clock by anunknown person, probably the same one who has been helping himself to other people’s rigs for some time. This thing has been occurring as regularly as clock work for several weeks, nearly every Saturday night some one’s horse and buggy being taken in this manner. It is absolutely ridiculous to think that the people must stand these repeated outrages. Some measures should certainly be taken to protect the property of people who come to Walkerton to do their trading. The town authorities should see that scme one is at (mceff delegated to watch the streets after nightfall until the guilty man is caught. In nearly every case the horses are driven in the direction of Teegarden, and the conelusion is that some one living in that locality either walks or rides on the train to Walker- ‘ ton and then wateches his chance to | take some one’s rig with which to get | back home. Mr. Awald’s rig was | found in Teegarden about 10 o’clock 1 Saturday evening.
