THE SUNDAY OREGONIAtf, PORTLAND, JULY IkJjTsTtikf
13 -
How The Oregonian Advertises Portland
The Daily Newspaper Has No Rival as an Advertising Medium What One
Copy of the Sunday Oregonian, Judiciously Distributed, Has Accomplished
v DVERTTBING has reached a higher
J point of proficiency In the "United
States than In any other country
in the world, and the most successful ad
vertisers are unanimously of the opinion
that the dally newspaper occupies first
place as an actual result-getting medium,
and thousands of good advertisers In mer
cantile and other lines confine their ef
forts exclusively to regular publications
with a legitimate subscription list.
Organizations of business men of the
v type of the Portland Commercial Club,
having for the sole purpose of their or
ganization the upbuilding and betterment
of the community represented, have been
slow to adopt the homo newspaper as
their chief source of advertising, and have
printed all kinds of circulars, booklets,
pamphlets, annual reports and similar lit
erature. In some cases Issuing very ex
pensive Illustrated books, the great cost
of which necessarily made their circula
tion limited, and for that reason of no
great value.
The Portland Commercial Club has
gathered during the last few days speci
mens of the advertising matter used by
the commercial bodies of the country at
large. In ordor to secure these and to
open correspondence with these different '
.organizations and many other interests
and individuals, a copy of The Sunday
Oregonian of July 3, containing a full
page description of the Commercial Club,
two pages devoted to the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition and Oriental Fair,
an extended account of a meeting held In
the rooms of the Commercial Club Sat
urday evening. July 2, and an illustrated
article on Oregon at the World's Fair,
and various other items of Interest, was
sent accompanied by a personal letter or
postal card, and the results obtained con
clusively prove that the newspaper at-
tracts more attention than anything else
than can be sent out.
An ine iirsc piace uu repjcacuuiuvo
newspaper of an American city, through
its local, editorial, news and advertising
columns. Is the best photograph of the
city and Its surrounding country obtain
able. The responses received came from every
portion of the United States and Canada.
It is very gratifying to find the great
Interest manifested in the Lewis and
Clark Exposition and the number of peo
ple who have already determined to visit
Portland next year, as well as those who
express a desire to be with us. Many
compliments are extended to The Ore
gonian, Portland, the Commercial Club
and the enterprising business men of the
metropolis of the Pacific Northwest.
An article giving anything like a de
tailed account of the correspondence
would fill many columns of The Ore
gonian. but a few must suffice. The
handling of the paper, however, attracted
more attention, resulted In receiving more
newspaper notices, than-would come from
60 times the same number of handsome
booklets.
A Splendid Publication.
Charles B. Squler, the, retiring secretary
of the Board of Trade of Worcester,
Mass, says: "I was pleased to receive
jour communication and copy of The
Oregonian, and by way of praise I would
say that you are on the right track, and I
sincerely wish New England business men
would take hold of public matters with
the same push that is displayed in the
West The fact is that the West Is made
up of the cream of Eastern business men,
and some of our most progressive men
here are heavily Interested in Western
real estate."
H. R. Laird, manager of the Board of
Trade of Willtamsport, Perm., uses very
unique and interesting advertising mat
ter, and is very complimentary of the
"push" manifested in Portland.

resolutions in favor of your coming Ex
position some time since, and of urging
upon our members of Congress the sup
port of an appropriation for "said Expo
sition. Tou may be sure that we will
lose no opportunity to say a good word
for Portland and its exposition, and we

W. H. Day, general secretary of the

mentary way.

delightful letter says that The Oregonian

W. A. Childress, Houston, Texas, presi

people.
H. F. Baldwin, treasurer of A. Baldwin

knowledge receipt of The Sunday Ore
gonian of July 3. It Is rather surprising
to find a paper of this description pub
lished in what the average layman would
consider out of the world but It is ap
parently decidedly in it."
The Oregonian, and the spirit manifest
ed In Portland, meets tho most hearty
commendation of John M. Ives, secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce of
Rochester, N. Y. After welcoming the
members of the Portland Commercial
Club to the rooms of the Rochester Cham
ber of Commerce, Mr. Ives closes with
the statement: "We believe Rochester

The Wichita (Kan) Commercial Club.
through its secretary, H. L. Reislng, who
has a brother living In Grant County.
Oregon, in an especially felicitous letter,
says, among many other nice things:
"Our citizens are taking considerable
interest in your Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial Exposition, and no doubt Wichita

your crowd next year."
W. C. Jones, secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce of Pensacola, Fla.,
writes: "I beg to thank you for same,
and to congratulate such an enterprising,
progressive institution as tho Portland

missible, I should say we somewhat
envy an institution so liberally supported
by the community which it represents."
George R, Brown, secretary of the
Board of Trade of Little Rock and also
secretary of the Arkansas State BQard
of Trade, and one of tne most effective
secretaries in the country, like E. C.
Foster, president of the New Orleans
Railways Company, and Z. C. Patten, a
wealthy citizen of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
Is very complimentary, but in common
with thousands of others, these gentle
men do not understand that the climate
of Little Rock Is much more severe, both
In Summer and Winter, than the climate
here, and that tho extremes In New Or
leans are more pronounced than In Port
land. Best Way to Reach Readers.
Only through the circulation of local
papers giving the exact facts at all sea
sons of the year will it be possible to
Impress people at a distance with the
fact that we have an evergreen climate,
magnolias growing in the open, and that
no extremes of heat or cold worry out
people. The discussion of climate in
connection with Little Rock and New
Orleans is especially interesting. It
happens that both Little Rock and Port
land claim the pseudonym "City of
Roses," but the roses here excel those
of Little Rock and the finer specimens
are superior to the best examples of In
tensified growth In King Edward's
gardens. Camellas, usually protected In
the Winter season on St. Charles avenue.
New Orleans, the famous residence street
of the Creole City, grow to regular trees
here, even when neglected. Magnolias
bloom luxuriantly, many .ooms on the
trees throughout the city being larger
than a full-grown man's derby hat
Snow is as unusual in Portland as in
Little Rock, and In no place throughout
the fruit belt of the Great Lakes region,
commonly acknowledged as the best in
the United States, do the cherries and
berries equal those grown here, while our
prunes excel all others, and Oregon ap
ples are becoming recognized Interna
tionally. Many things grow here to ex
traordinary size as an Instance of this,
a grape-vine leaf measuring 18 inches
across was brought to the Commercial
Club.
Millions of people do not know that the
Willamette and other great Valleys of
Oregon depend solely upon rainfall, and
it is difficult for people to realize that
the climate of this city. Summer and
Winter, Is so moderate when we are sur
rounded with great towering snow-capped
peaks.
The Commercial Club of Omaha,
through its commissioner, Edward J. Mc
Vann: "You are certainly to be con
gratulated upon the public spirit shown
by the citizens of your town."
M. E. Foster, editor of the Houston
(Texas) Chronicle; "Was delighted to
see the fine write-up of the Portland
Commorcial Club, and the excellent pic
tures In Tho Oregonian." Mr. Foster, in
addition, pays the climate a great
compliment
Secretary William B. Stlckney, of the
Oshkosh, Wis., Board of Trade The
Oregonian is a. big paper. Thanks It will
be a long time before the Oskosh Board
of Trade can have even 25 per cent of
the support your people give to the Com
mercial Club.
The Scranton, Pa., Board of Trade,
through Its secretary, C S. Seamans,
like many of the other bodies writing,
gives Inside details of the board's opera
tions and expresses pleasure at what
Portland Is doing. Mr. Seamans hopes
to be among the favored ones from Scran
ton who will visit the Lewis and Clark
Exposition in 1905
T. A. Boyle, secretary of the Commer
cial Club of Clrcleville, O. Sincerely hope
tne Lewis and ciarK Exposition will be a 4
success, and that Oregon and Portland
will receive lasting benefits therafrom

I3S RUTH OSBORN swept airily
from the prisoners' box Into the
cobweb-bedecked courtroom and
cast a withering glance upon the assem
bled Magistrate, Prosecutor and minions
of the law who stood gathered about the
court of Justice.
Miss Osborn was attired to match her
stern dignity. She wore a gorgeous gown
of royal blue taffeta, with waist full In
front and skirt elaborately tucked and
shirred. The yoke was a Very 1830 affair
of rose point lace. The ample sleeves
were gathered at the elbows with folds of.
Duchesse lace, and her hat was a scoop
affair with bounteous trimmings of flow
ers and fowls. Her footwear was of
French extraction with four-Inch heels.
"Miss Osborn, you are charged with
drunkenness," said Deputy City Attorney
Fitzgerald, and the court attaches won
dered that one so gorgeous should be
charged with an offense so commonplace.
The fair Ruth disdained to plead to the
charge until a full minute had elapsed,
and she had been requested to be saving
in her use of the court's time But when
she did speak her words were 7orth hear
ing. As an explanation artist Miss Os
born won the compliments of the court
who said he felt constrained to remark
that she was almost deserving of her free
dom for so profuse a rendition of fiction.
Her brave story, which won so much
approbation, was to the effect that she
had taken some quinine and gin for a
headache, repeating the dose until she had
become drunk by unconscious gradations.
This conflicted somewhat with the less ro
mantic version of a policeman, who said
he found Ruth staggering about the
streets, singing, and had to tie her to
preserve his eyes and complexion while ho
was making the arrest
So Miss Osborn was required to pay $5
for the privilege of her triumphant debut
In police circles.

west Some mention Portland and Ore
gon especially, and all of these ask for
additional Information a largo number
express a wish to attend the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition while others
have already determined to come.
Commercial bodies in several of the
cities have made the description of tho
Portland Commercial Club, which ap
peared in The Oregonian. a theme of
discussion. Newspapers throughout all
parts of the United States have made
local mention, and as a result the Lewis
and Clark Centennial Exposition has re
ceived a great deal of high-class adver
tising. The Dally Telegraph, of St.
John, New Brunswick, devoted mora
than one-half of its editorial space Wed
nesday, July 13, to The Oregonian arti
cles describing the Commercial Club and
the Exposition.
Clarence Ousley, editor of the Fort
Worth, Tex., Record, In an extended
article, says: "Oregon Is the mort fasci
nating of all. and Portland is the chief
Jewel of her gorgeous crown. On all
this continent there Is no more delightful
place than this flowering city of the Pa
cific Coast and Exposition or no Exposi
tion, a visit there will be an education
and a rejuvenation that cannot be found
elsewhere in the known world."
Now to draw conclusions. Is there any
system of advertising ever Invented, no
matter how expensive or elaborate It may
be. that will even compare- In the most
remote way in actual results with that of
sending broadcost a representative news
paper? The position of the Portland Commer
cial Club In rejecting all kinds of outside
and feature advertising, official pro
grammes and other characters of irregu
lar work, is intelligently taken. It does
not advocate the newspaper to support
the newspaper, but simply for the' reason
that the circulation of the" home paper
brings more net results than any other
medium, and it would take unusual and
extraordinary evidence to convince any
one that this statement Is not true, after
reading what has gone before.

HEY have been hated rivals for years.
During the entire period Alice Con-
ners has been undecided whether to alter
her name to Mrs. Alec Cameron or to
Mrs. Frank Walsh, the respective names
of the two rivals. One week Cameron
would appear to have the better of the
argument and the next Walsh would
seem to be In the lead In the triangular
war of hearts'.
This was the status of affairs until yes
terday, when Cameron attempted to
thresh the woman for showing too marked
attention to his hated rival. The squabble
resulted In the arrest of all three cfiarac
ters, and there was a most exciting ex
change of repartee when the two rivals
were brought face to face at the police
station.
"Say, Cameron, you've lost out entirely
this time," exclaimed Walsh, gleefully.
"Not much I've not it is me that will
marry her yet," rejoined Cameron de
terminedly. "You haven't got money enough to buy
a wedding ring," was Walsh's sarcastic
rejoinder.
"If you've got any cash, some one must
have given It to you," retorted Walsh's
rival.
From the aspect of the two men It was
evident there would soon have been an ex
emplification of the theory of the sur
vival of the fittest had not the strong arm
of the law torn them apart and deposited
them in separate dungeons.

Disgraceful Fraud
Whiskies falsely labeled as "Canadian" are
being extensively sold in Portland by a large num
ber of dealers who know all about them.
In other words, these dealers are deliberately
swindling their customers.
Most of these fake whiskies are put up in
general resemblance to our famous brand "CANA
DIAN CLUB," but there the similarity ends.
The bogus whiskies bear the following namesj
which are purely fictitious:
CANADIAN DISTILLING CO. NO ADDRESS.
"MONTREAL CLUB," BAKER, MASON & CO.,
MONTREAL, CANADA.
SILAS WALCOTT & CO., OTTAWA, ONTARIO.
R. W. McMURRY & CO., TORONTO,
W. G. SMITH & BROS.,
There are no such people in the distilling
business in any part of Canada.
These are old frauds with which we have long
been familiar. Years ago we drove them out of
the market in almost every part of the United
States; and, like brigands, they have retired to the
remote districts. ,
If the CANADIAN DISTILLING CO., or
BAKBR, MASON & CO., or SILAS WALCOTT
& CO., of R. W. McMURRY & CO., or W. G.
SMITH & BROS., will appear in the flesh and sue
US' in Portland for libel, we undertake to meet them
there. We do not take advantage of distance to
make statements which we cannot prove. And if any
person can show that one of the above-named con
cerns is a reality, we will pay to theMayor of Portland
$10,000.00 for distribution among the city charities.
HIRAM WALKER & SONS, LIMITED,
Proprietors of "CANADIAN CLUB" WhUky,
WalkervjIIe, Ontario, Canada. London, England.
New York. Chicago. Mexico City. Victoria, B. C.
N. B. The gentry who put up fake liquors
have a habit of changing their labels when ex
posed. New varieties will probably follow this
advertisement. Persons who have doubts about
any whisky claiming to be Canadian should write
to us for information.
