; Tin: WAY TO ADVERTISES A
W e (.-xii 1 especial attention to tlie
ma in moth advert 1st ment on our third a
page. It N a big advertisement of a f
b;g concern. 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

(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. In this age of publicity, <"0 fc[,

ho moat important single factor in

[DM1RAL DEWEY ACCEPTS.
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.

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. ^

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<

and also to lay in enough bread stuff ^
to carry them through another year
and may success attend their efforts.
