The Union Shoe Com- I , pany Imve decided that it pays to ad- c 1 vcrtise, and having decided a question s they buck their judgment in a manner s ' that can result only in success. They < - no doubt make tho old familiar coup- | let, i ? "All tVr.t jtu ?to. do wi\li your iiiislit. I Tilings done l?y I ancsnru ncwrdone right," h the motto of tlieir business life, and ' it is sound doctrine, that will do to = tie to. Wo called attention a few weeks 1 )0 ago to the fact that although these U two young men, Messrs. Oliphant and J. Hallo were young men and the Union Shoe Company was a young firm, they had, by their indomitable push, and close application to business, ui-| ' ready built up a fine trade; and their courteous manner and polite atlencr tlon to customers has gained for them many lasting friends rc" and customers. Their business .is growing daily and they express themselves as well pleased ? with the suceesu Ihdf has attended their elTorts. We are giad tr. l?pow = this, it is an evidence that business nd conducted in a business manner is ht the ''open sesame'' to prosperity and od success, and when they decided to advertise with n wholo page it is only another evidence that they are strictty an up-to-date firm and know the k v^'-evf und thoroughly understand how to spvead it, ,$.? ;v_ illustration of the fact' hhifit they have prr hit tlie nail square on the head he 'n ,tn ac^" that will count, and ?ct 'hat will be rend by every man and liis woman who gets hold of a copy of the paper, and that it is this kind of advertising that does the business, we ] n ?.luote a portion of an article from the ed ^ress an(l I'rinter regarding the adVPftisinrr mot tirwl? r>f H,r> rv> <-.110 I,-.tin lO ' a ? (Jt Wunamuker; it does not pay to be p( close-fisted about your advertising. It does not cost as much to advertise in The Times as in the Philadelphia ,x. Record, however. ir- "John Wanamaker's recent eor.(j tract to pay the Philadelphia Record .flOO.OOO for a page advertisement 3 every day in the year is of itself the en best sort of advertising. This great ,ro contract is the subject of universal \\. comment and remark, but it is only a small part of the newspaper advertising done by this house. In New York the advertising bills of Wanan_ lie is therefore taking up the business of the first American merchant ri prince, A. T. Stewart, where the lat,n ter loft oiT. One of the chief causes rs- of Mr. Stewart's success was his lib ir crai uaverusing and he was the pio. neer in tHis branch of merchandising in this country. When Judge Hilton nK took control of the Stewart store he ik stopped advertising in the newspaill pers, believing that the name of the houso was so well and favorably known that it was unnecersary to call daily attention to it. A few years of this sort, of business mantigelie ment was enough to destroy t ho property and it was eventually sold under 61 the hammer to John Wanamaker. >K Mr. Wanamaker had not taken pont ssession of the new business before n. he began advertising it freely in the Xew York papers. And he has kept " advertising daily ever since. The ren suit is that despite the discouraging at prophecies of many of Mr. Wanamsker's friends his store in Xew York is n doing a larger business than his store in Philadelphia and a much larger )(j business than it ever did under the U management of Stewart. The street ro car conductors have orders to stop thoir cars and announce WanntBaker's. This single establishment has ? restored retail business to the locul ,ity where it formerly flourished. t_ Mr. \Va?a?nakcr is tire best judgu of tb.e causes of his phenomenal suc' cvrm and lie attributes it to constant attention to details and to advertis,'r irg.

Admiral Dewey has accepted the ;ift of a home from the American >eople. He had choice of taking a louse ready built or having one ^ erected. Ho chose tho former, as he mid he wished to bo able to have jomewhere. to hang up his hat as ?arly as possible. He expresses his ^ gratification at tho tender, which he ie| immediately accepted. He said if ve the proposed home bad been the gift w of a few wealthy men he would feel indisposed to accept it. But he U noted that tho fund had over 4ii,0C0 to subscribers, indicating that the hotne ^ was to be really the gift of the Araer- e lean people, and as such he would accept it, with as much pleasure as he had the sword bestowed upon him ol by Congress. The Admiral showed a a] decided preference for the soction in cl in which ho made his home during 4 his former details in Washing: ton. lie wished the house to be located in - the northwest section, somewhere we^t of 16th street, indicating the neighborhood of his former residence, and tho club where tic had spent a good deal of his leisure time. He expressed his idea as to the I chargsfer of tho homo he desires, and g, asks that the house bo mo4c?f. enough tl in appointments and cost to permit of tho retention of a sufficient sum of ? money from the purchase fund to k defray thp expenses of furnishing, o The fund at the disposal of fhe com- j] mittee amounts to $50,000 and it is ? thought more will be added. ^ I 1; The schemir of-*kc , woman who came down hero aiftl look the Baker family north and pVrAdud I thein before the public bas been ex- s posed, and it is just as we expedcu, * a scheme for cheap natoyity for tlie j woman. J)r. Galen Wilson, of Hj New York, exposes the scheme. He ? I says: "A friend tells me that th? bottom of the movement in getting tl o linker family North is to advertise the pro- <. motor of the scheme, who will shortly put a book on the market, which wiil have a great sale from the publicity which the author has thus acquired. If true, it is a grpnt pity to trade on the misfortune of tlie fatherless and q the widow." t As the low scheme has been ox- 1 posed the book should full flat for I want of purchasers. ^ - . - k Aud here comes another prize for a 1 tfSSSL.VilK&t croP- Our little sister ] joncsujic uoca Hoc rneun to ue uui- J (lone, and J.

That is good. ? ICoep the ball rolling which progres- e sive merchant from another soction t will be the next to conic up with a 1 prize? Do not hesitate to offer a prize ' you will be the gainer in tho end. We must stimulate the grain growing c interest of Union county. And by these prizes being offered it will stimulate the farmers to .earnest effort to make a good crop, and then they wilj be led to more diversified farming and gradually but surely get from under j. the yoke of king cotton. This makes $00.00 offered. Let more come for- f< ward until wo get Union county's j prize up to $100.00.
