When they are allowed to run month after month without any change they become stale and unprofitable to both the reader and advertiser.

He delivers the pattern, gives a receipt for the dollar ami tells you the goals will be delivered "next Thursday.” The usual result follows.

As illustrating the degree of eflicieney to which the present management of the B. A- O. R. R. has brought its motive pow er equipment and esprit de corps of the operating staff, we call attention to the fact that during the months of April. May and June the passenger trainsand fast freight trains have almost invariably ar rived at their respective destinations on schedule time. The very few exceptions to the general rule were due to causes inseparable from railway operation, and against which no forethought can wholly guard. It may be safely said that during the period named no road in America, comparable in magnitude to the B. A 0. can surpass its record for punctuality in train movement.
