IN MEMORIAM.
To Mr. and Mrs. Hlanton and family:
Wo can not frame words to ex
press our sympathy and feeling for
you in this gloomy hour of your life,
when your dear son and brother
has been taken from you. He was
taken from you in the twinkling of
an eye, but the Death Angel visits
when you least expect. God’s ways
are mysterious, but we know he is
a merciful God and we must always
remember he does everything for the
best. Will it ever seem real that
Earl is no more? We can never
glance into his sparkling eyes, hear
his kind voice or see his form again.
We realize that your heart is
broken, but let us not look on the
dark side, and try to feel that it
was all for the best, for we know no
is so much better off than he was
here. He has nothing to be worried
or troubled over, and let’s try not to
grieve for his going away, for Death
is only a dream. We must not think
of him as dead, but just sleeping in'
peaceful rest with his Savior where
there is no pain, sorrow, heartches,
no sad partings, tears nor cares.
Paul and Claude, dear friends, we
know that you feel as if the very
costliest treasure has been taken
away from you, but this was done
perhaps as a warning to cause you
to think more earnestly of our home
that has been prepared for us, if we
will only believe his word. Prepare
to join in his company around th>
great white throne, where we trust
he is. You remember the expres
sion he made that Sunday night as
he gazed up to the skies and said:
"I wish I was in heaven.” We
realize that his wish has been ful
filled. Let us all try to live up to
that wish so we can shake his hand
which is waiting for ns.
Pray for God to help you hear
your burden in this dark hour o.
sorrow. Lari is no more, but live for
little sister, brothers, mother and
father and his memory. Ever be
dutiful and sympathetic to your
mother. Try as best you can to
make her life as pelasant as you
can. Grieve not, little sister, for
if Earl could speak he would not
have you do so. Your little heart
is young and tender and we pray
lhat you will overcome this first
trouble of your young life.
And dear little brothers, we are
sure you can not understand why
your precious brother was taken
from you. But when you grow older
you will understand. Live for moth
er's and sister’s comfort and pleas
ure. Speak kind words of cheer
when they look the saddest.
In the death of Ear* we feel that
we’ve lost one of our best friends,
and to think we can never see him
again seems more than we can en
dure, for the friendship we had for
him is untold. He was so kind
hearted, loving and affectionate tow
ard every one. He was the life of
our young circle. Everything will
be dull and lonely now. It is good
to live a life that when you are gone
and your memory passes through the
mind of people they will have a
sweet thought of you.
Earl is asleep in Jesus. We trust
that the Lord will comfort the
bereaved ones.
A FRIEND.

WHAT ADVERTISING
HAS DONE RECENTLY
Notable Examples Os .Where Big,
Fortunes Have Been Made From
Small Advertising Appropriation.
The first batch of Coca Cola was
put on the market back in 1886 —
only 25. gallons of syrup, which was
sold for $25. The Wall Street Jour
nal commenting on the example of
putting a business across, says that
“the present Coca Cola Company paid
the original owner twenty million
dollars for Coca Cola good-will.”
“Good-will” is another word for
reputation. Reputation, in moderrn
business, is the direct result of three
things—merit of product, methods of
doing business, and advertising.
Coca Cola, of course, has been
about as thoroughly advertised as is
humanly possible. The $25 realized
from the first Coca Cola sale, was
immediately invested in advertising
for which the first, bill was $46.
From that small seed grew twenty |
million dollars worth of “good-will.”
It pays to advertise.
Most of the big advertisers start
ed in a small way. Venturing cau
tiously into the water, they soon
struck out for the deep spots. They
found that it pays to advertise.
The William Wrigiey Company’s
first advertising appropriation was
s:;3 its entire capital—writes John
Allen Murphey in Printers Ink M'ag-

Murphey tells the story of Royal

Wayne, Ind., as a side line. It’s
first advertisement appeared in a
local paper. The campaign then
spread throughout the State until the
company was able to move to New
York. Soon after that it became
the largest national advertiser of the
