Hundreds of novel advertising
schemes that are hatched every day
are so evenly meritless that it is al
most safe to apply Punch’s advice to
all of them—"Don’t!”’ Home one
tries them all, however, and vast sums
of money are sunk in them. Ti er
arc doubtless cases where they pay,
but it would not be so hard to find
that legitimate advertising would have
paid better. The great public holds
its open court daily in the newspaper
and will hear what any man has to
say in behalf of his business provided
he can say it well.
ltu*liieMH Force.
Ll'lilladelphla Record 1
A lecturer on the art of advert'sing
asserts that "advertising is a* great a
business force as capital, and it is as
necessary to modern commerce as
capital. Capital is being used to-day
on a scale and a plan which make it
virtually a new force, and advertising
is its blood brother. Ten years from
now the letter head of the modern
business will read, "Capitalized for
$1,000,000; advertised for $50G ,000.’

this applies in this free country to ail

The Act of a Brute.
Last Friday there was an occur
rence in one of the mills of the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Company which,
for brutality and low-down beastli
ness. surpassed anything that has
ever occurred in this section. It was
then that 1) Arthur McGee, a section
hand in the card room, for some im
agined or very slight infraction of
some rule, struck Mies Katie Byars,
a most worthy jyoung ladv, who l as
been working in the mill for four
years, with a hammer and inflicted a
considerable wound over the eye and
otherwise si verely bruised her face,
i McGee left the mill at once and made
| his escape, which, perhaps, saved
; him from a pretty rough handling.
A warrant has been issued for Mc
Gee and we know that strenuous
efforts are being made to effect his
arrest, which we tru*t will soon be
accomplished, and it the law provides
a fitting penalty for the crime of this
brute that lie will get the full benefit
of it.
