IlShotf Talks On Advertising
I By Charles Austin Bates. ‘"^1
No. 39.
A little advertising like a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
A man who advertises a little bit and quits is sure to lose his money,
and is sure to get erroneous ideas into
his head.
The first advertising that is done is
merely preparatory. It introduces the
advertiser to his public ; it gains acquaint
ance for him.
After
a while
he be
comes
^ J so well
“* He is sure to get erroneous ideas into known
that in
reality he is talking to old friends.
The words of old friends have much
more weight than those of strangers.
There is no doubt about that. Any
one can take it ijght home to himself.
The first few times you meet a
■man and talk with him you are taking
his measure. You arc tleciding in
your own mind what manner of a man
he may be; what he does; what line
of business he is in, and whether he uTht first fmtimes „„ mte. „ man you
is honest or not. It is only after the art taking hi. measure
acquaintance has progressed a little that you give his words much
weight.
Advertisements arc the repre
sentatives of their authors. People
become acquainted with a man
through his advertisements, Trade
comes after acquaintance, not be
fore. The first few ads serve
only as a foundation. If you build
the cellar walls and quit you will
only have made a hole into which
you are pretty nearly sure to falL

Immense b’tiefit will be done to nta

during the last few days. Ooru lias

entire Atlantic coast. In addition to
the eastern ft trro, there is another in
the west with a center just below the
great lakes. It is moving eastward
and may un te with the Atlantic

Berkeley county farmers have been
complaining of the drought for some
time. Rain w s necessary to fill out
the grains of corn as tliev matured
Tt.ov were beginning to have a
shriveled appearance. Not only In
dian corn, whi h is the staple crop,
Let also sweet corn, which is used in
the c nccries was badly in need of
rain. Apples have suffered for the
same roast n, end late vegetables, such
as I t uns and tomatoes, were literally
drvmg up for nourishment. The
grass was becoming short, and dairv
farmers apprehended a falling off in
the supply of milk and an early raid
on the provender stored away for use
during the winter months.
The rain pouiises to relieve the situ
aion. Not only will the crop of late
sweet corn he increased, but the grass
will receive necessary nourishment,
and late vegetables will fill oc.t, so
that they can ho continued in the
market until the Irost comes. Late
apples will also hejlieuefitted.
Many springs were running very
low, and in some cases small streams
had almost dried up. These conditions
have all been remedied by trie storm.

ttiry to make their fight for a home.
These rough, determined Illinoisans
have gradually diminished in numbers,
! and the past few years have witnessed
the death of the few who survived the
last quarter of the century.
The sole remaining fighter of the In
teresting struggle with the Indians was
horn November 17. 1815, in Cayuga
county, N. Y. When young Lee was
three years of age his father, accom
panied by a large part of his immediate
I relatives, with their families, came west
1 to Illinois. The party made its way on
j two rafts and a flatboat constructed
j from logs. The emigrants took all of
j their live stock with them in their
! passage down the Alleghany and Ohio
| rivers, landing at Shawneetown, from
there going to Salem, and finally went
to Vandalia. at that time only a small
village. At this place Lee grew toyoung
manhood under the hard lessons of
frontier life, assisting his father in his
grain treadmil and in sawing lumber.
At that time the accommodations for
grinding produce of the farmers was
crude and the state legislature conse
quently offered the elder Lee a large
tract of land on condition that he con
struct and maintain a water milt for a
period of 20 years. Vnndalia was the
capital of Illinois at the time. Other
members of the family also engaged in
business, and the Lees secured the
privilege of constructing a part of the
national highway when it was built.
When the Sae and Fox. or as it was
known, the Black Hawk, war broke out
in 1822. William H. Lee was only 16
years of age. but he possessed courage
equal to the hardy training he had re
ceived In his Illinois pioneer life. After
the close of the war he made three suc
cessful trips to New Orleans by boat,
which in those days was considered a
feat of nnosual importance, each time
taking large loads of grain. In 1850 he
succumbed to the California gold fever,
making an overland trip to that, part
of the country. This trip was followed
by two others. On each of the trip> large
numbers qf cattle were taken along as
an Investment. The party was attacked
by Indians on the first trip, but was suc
cessful In defeating the red men. On the
second journey the party lost ail then
live stock. The third trip was thorough
ly successful. Returning to his farm
in Illinois, Mr. Lee has remained there
in activecharge until within the past few
years, when he turned active manage
ment over to other hands. None of his
children are living.
CLIMBING THE PYRAMIDS.

THE PYRAMID LIMP.
(An Affliction to Which All Travelers In
Egypt Are Subject.)
To many visitors the pyramids are all
there is to be seen in Egypt, and once
arrived there they proceed to make the
ascent. It is not an easy climb, as
these steps are so high that no one
:an reach them without help from be
fore or behind, and the result is
strained and lamed muscle*. Resi
dents and habitues recognize the pyra
mid limp In an Instant, and the suf
ferer Is greeted with Jeers whenever he
makes reference to his sufferings.
