NEW INDUSTRIES.
The secretary of the Chamber of
I'onumree yesterday sent out an
nouncements of the regular meeting
•oniglit. ’I he subject to be discussed
is “.New Industries. ' and the secre
tary asks the members not to stay
:.way for fear that a quorum will not
be present, as has frequently been
t.ie case. lie has assurances that
1 here will be a quorum and that the
meeting will be one o finterest.
§ We hope me is right; in fact, we be
lieve he is. The subject of new lu
lus! ries which came up for brief dis
•tission at the last meeting developed
considerable interest, and we bulieve
Uio members are anxious to take
[•art in the further consideration of
he matter.
As we have remarked before, the j
attracting of outside capital to Uliie-j
field, and the securing of now enter
prises is one of the most important
departments of the chamber, and it
is one to which but little attention
mis been paid within tho ]>ast few
months. Now that the country Is be
ginning to free itself from the
Titanic embrace of the panic, capi
tal will In' casting atjgui for Invest
ment, and it's nobody's little bunco
g«;in«* n> try to induce It to come to
ei ii t ,<■ i locations in North

of course in a work of rescue or in
any humane undertaking the average
man does not stop to ask who is do
ing it or why, but really in this in
stance it is rather puzzling to deter
mine what more rig.it tho navy had
io intervene than in other cases
when- lives and boats were imperiled
by the same storm.
THE DIFFERENCE.
It would b»‘ u difllcult matter to
convince the merchants and business
men of Minefield that circularizing
and handlnllizing are not excellent
forms of advertising.
Here is an experience, however, not
to ho doubted, which tends to prove
the contrary:
"A in» reliant in one of the large
eastern cities,” says an ad vert techs’
magazines, ‘ composed a circular let
ter recently that looked to him like
a trade-winner. IP* mailed 2o,00b
copies to a select list of names at a:
expense of $8.70. The not profit on
the resulting orders was $27.80. lie
showed the letter and the result to
an acquaintance in another line o.
business, who persuaded him to print
the same letp r. word for word in a
local newspaper. The nt wspaper ad
cost $124. The profits on tne sales
directly attributed to it within three
days were $962.70, with mall 'orders j
still coining in at the end of that
time."
