THEY UNLOCKED DOOR WITH KEY Broke Open the Till and Carried Away a Small Amount of Cash Bold Gang Still at Work In the Small Towns Near Nere. The general store ot Mr. J. A. Hants liurg, at Vanclevesville, tills county, was again entered some time during Tuesday night, the second time with in a week. , The thieves effected an entrance by means of keys, as they did on the pre vious occasion. Mr. Kamaburg se curely locked and bolted all the doors and windows when he closed his place of business Tuesday night, and he found the place locked when he open ed It the following morning. Mr. Ramsburg did not know his store had again been entered until he opened his cash drawer. Ho then discovered that all the money, a small amount, which he had left In the till the night before, was missing. An inspection of his stock failed to show that anything aside from the mo ney was taken. After the robbery of the store last week Mr. Rameburg changed the locks on the rear door, putting an ordina ry lock and a heavy padlock on the door. The other doors are supplied with beltk, which operate from the In side. It is evident, however, that the ;ang which is operating in this sec tion is well supplied with keys, for they easily opened the new locks, and after securing the cash, locked the door again. These robberies are occurring with such frequency and regularity that the merchants In the small towns in .his section are becoming thoroughly alarmed. The officers seem powerless to effect the capture of the gang, and the latter have been plying their ne farious business with a boldness and skill that is exasperating in the ex treme. . During the past three months there jhave been robberies at practlcally..ev ary town along the line of the Balti more & Ohio from Cherry Run to Har pers Ferry, no less than a dozen bold burglaries having been committed. Some of the merchants have adopted tho plan of placing a trap-gun In position when they lock their stores at night, and it would he a good plan if all used this means of keeping away the robbers. ly payments and the price is placed on each lot for sale.

Submits Some Interesting Facts and Figures to Show That Purchaser Does Not Bear This Expense. (By Franklyn Hobbs.) 1 have hoard persons say they would not buy advertised goods be cause they did not care to help pay tor the advertising. They wanted full value In the goods themselves. i •have heard salesmen argue that their 'firms did not advertise and for that reason could sell cheaper. I have heard merchants say that, they would not handle advertised goods. I know a eigardealer who will not have an advertised cigar in his cases. Some time ago I begnn an investi gation which I have practically com pleted. I had tests made of various lines of advertised and nnadvertised goods, full and complete comparisons made of their respective qualities. 1 priced goods and bought goods in stores which did not advertise, and compared prices and qualities. I caus ed goods to be purchased from mer chants who did not advertise and from those who did advertise liber ully, and made careful comparisons of the priceB of the goods purchas ed. Who pays for tho advertising? If it were possible, I would like to answer this question in a word, hut as the cost of all advertising Is dis tributed among so many people I must needs go into detail. Before doing that lot me set your mlnn at rest on one point. When you buy an advertised cigar you do not, pay for tho advertising. When you buy a brand of advertised ham you do not pay for the advertising. When you travel on a railroad train you do not pay for tho advertising of that rail road. When you buy a pair of shoes you do not pay for the advertising. This applies to every conceivable ar tide of merchandise, every conceiv able thing which enters into the com merce of the world. Who pays for the advertising? Advertising is an economy and not an expense—not even an investment. Advertising is a saving. You don’t believe that. I didn't expect you to; I didn’t believe it myself until I had absolute and convincing proof that the buyer of merchandise does not pay for the advertising. In order to make this matter clear to the lay mind, I must use some rath er homely examples; A clothing mer chant on ono corner does not adver tise, but he pays $100 per month rent, employes four clerks at $75 per month each, pays $50 per month for his light and $100 a month for Inci dental expenses, bookkeeping, etc. On this total expense of $550 per month he sells four suits of clothes per day at a gross profit of $7.50 per suit. This business for twenty-five business days a month brings in a total gross profit of $760, and after deducting his expenses of $550 leaves a margin of $200 per month as the dealer's remuneration for his person al services and for interest in his investment. Another merchant on tho next corner pays the same rent, a trifle more for clerk hire, a trifle more for light and a trifle more for gen eral expenses, bookkeeping, etc., and finds that his total expense for the month is $600—but this merchant spends $500 a month in advertising.
