' It is important that the public knows what advertising means. Especially im
portant is the fact that plenty of advertising almost invariably means AN EXCEL
LENT and Honest product.
If you read that a man had invested a million dollars in a factory of brick, stone
and iron you would not need to be told that he would refrain from setting fire to
that factory, especially if it were not insured.
There are many business men that have put not one million, but five millions and
ten millions, into an advertising reputation.
They have put their millions into words and have created by them a reputation
as solid as any brick or any iron. That reputation IS THEIR FORTUNE that repu
tation is their life work. It is not insured. It cannot be insured.
For the man who has put his millions into advertising, to lower the quality of his
goods, to deceive the public, it would be like setting fire to his millions without
any insurance.
The man who advertises gives hostages to the public and proves that it is his in
tention to succeed by giving value, by living up to that which he has promised.
There are, of course, fraudulent advertisers, although they are constantly becom
ing fewer. And they are becoming fewer, thanks TO THE POWER OF ADVERTIS
ING ITSELF. For the advertising of honest goods has made the work of deceitful
advertisina more and more difficult, less and less remunerative. 1
Advertising is no longer used to sell wooden nutmegs or to sell "a fine steel en
graving of George Washington for fiftycents," which turns out to be a United
States two cent stamp with George Washington's face upon it.
Advertising builds up the honest man and kills off the dishonest man. There
is more profit in building up a grocery business and selling the best of nutmegs at a
fair, small profit, than there could possibly be in selling wooden nutmegs.
If you are thinking of plans for an advertising campaign for your business, con
sult the advertising man on THE COOS BAY TIMES.

Cbe Giving of Gifts
1 iSTti
I
5f one (s going to give a Christmas pr:s-
cnt it should be vcftb a cheerful heart.
If you can't give (n this spirit do not
gfvc at all. Hie give presents to our
friends at Christmas because they arc our
friends and because we derive pleasure from
such giving. In the giving of Christmas pres
ents there should be none of that spirit which
suggests commercialism. Cbcrc should never
be any expectation of reciprocity. Che giving
of a Christmas present should be from the
heart. Che present itself counts for little. Che
spirit and motive vf bich prompt the giving are
all important.

Tho Dny After Christmas.
A graceful llnish Is uue of the most
essential touches of any successful
venture. The pianist dues nut drop Ids
hands abruptly from thu keys as soon
as he has played thu last note, but
holds them there a moment lunger un
til the music dies away. Diners out
would be Indignant If the table were
whisked clean the moment the last
mouthful was swallowed. They Hud
the lingering on a little while over the
coffee and nuts most delightful.
Christmas Is too beautiful and too
solemn it festival to drop in this hasty
fashion thu moment the clock strikes
midnight, for any occasion which
needs espeelal preparation ulso needs
nil adequate closing, and particularly
Is this true of those things whose val
ue lies' In sentiment.
There are many things to be done
after Christinas. There are letters to
he written, houses to be put In order,
gifts tu be arranged, and every one of
the countless details may lie done ei
ther with gin ce or without It. In the
theater the lliml ctirtalu falls with lil
ting dignity or appropriate gayety. It
has all been a play: but. even so. the
actors do nut wall; off after the last
word Is said and allow the stage hands
to rush on. That would offend the
mood of the audience. How much
truer this Is of something which Is not
a play, but a very real part of life!
The days after Christmas should he
as mvstleal In their way as were the
days before Christmas. The ornaments
that deelted the tree should be put
away with the same euro and pleasure
with which they were brought out. the
greens taken down with the same mer
riment that accompanied their going up.
The afterglow Is sometimes tho most
beautiful part of the sunset, and some
times It Is even more beautiful than
thu sunset Itself.
THERE WILL BE NO MORE BOATS UNTIL AFTER
THANKSGIVING

ELNATHAN TODD kep' company
With Lucy Kerr so tarnal
long i
The women all declared that he
Was doin' her a greejous wrong.
They Mowed he ought to let her know
What his intentions reely were,
Or give somebody else a show
To come a-shinln' up to her.
But always when Elnathan tried
To pop the question so I've heared
He'd stammer like hit tongue was tied
And choke all up, he was so skeered.
And Lucy, beln' bashful, too,
Would set and trem'le Ilka a leaf, i
And havin' nothin' else to do
Would gnaw her pocket han'kerchlef.
At lait the women folks agreed
'Twai'time for them to take a hand,

They told the parson what they plan'
ned.

And, beln's that the parson was
Pursuin' of the widder's heart.
He 'lowed they had a righteous causa t
And promised he would do his part.
80 when the Chrls'mas doln'a war
The church was full as full could bev
And all the gals but Lucy Kerr '
Got presents from the Chrls'mas treew
At last the parson, with a smile,
Called Lucy'a and Elnathan'a name,
And they went blushln' up the aisle.
Not knowln' of the women's alma,
'Take hold o' hands," the parson said,
And, not suspectln' what it meant,
Before they knowed it they were wed,
Both havin' give their full consent.
Then all the congregation atood,
While Wldder Barton pitched the key.
And ev'rybody sang that good

CHRISTMAS 100 YEARS AGO.
Apprehension Felt From British Navy
In the War of 1812.
Six mouths or the war or 1812 bad
elapsed when thu people or tho United
.Still us celebrated Christmas n hundred
years ago. Hull had surrendered De
troit, but another Hull hail won a de
cided victory over the Hritish ahlp
(Juerrlere. while another ship, the
United States, had captured the Mace
donian. In New Voile a Kreat Christ
mas lmntict was given to Captain
Isaac Hull, commanding tho Constitu
tion. "Old Ironsides," which had won
the battle with the Uuerrlere. and to
Captain Stephen Decatur, commander
or tlio United States.
The hautict was given in the City
hotel, which occupied the whole front
of 11 block from Cellar to Thame
streets. In thu vicinity of Wall street.
This was the last Christmas festival
In New York till after the sinning oC
the peace treaty, for In 1813 the city
was plunged Into black despair orer
the fear of thu Hritish navy and the
distress thnt had been caused to our
commerce and shipping.
hooked at from this distance, IC
seems little less than a miracle that
the comparatively puny American nary
should have whipped tho navy of Oreat
ilrltalu. then the greatest In thu world.
The panic in which our clilor seaport
town was thrown by tho fear of attack
from the mistress of the seas Is easily
understood.
