The manufactures were threatened, and capital was disposed to bo timid. After a depressing August 'V Dodge and Hupmobile, were at | there was a sudden change for j no time during 1915 able to the better. In September the wheels of commerce began to re volve once more, the pessimists ran for cover, and the optimists, after having had an enforced vacation extending over two or three years, were back on the job. Business became good, and healthy conditions were restored the fog of doubt lifted. One of the big reasons for the encouraging change was the im provement of condition in the South. The Simmons Hardware Com- yany of St. Louis reported that after hav : ng practically no South ern business in August, trade in the South was nearly normal in September, while in October, business everywherd. North South East and West, exceeded not ; only that of 1914 but went ahead of the banner year "be fore the war." Representatives of suce houses as Marshall Field & Company, Wholesale, the Royal Tpyewriter Co. The B. F. Goodrich Com pany, Haynes Automobile Co., Hart Schaffner & Marx sav that business has been so good dur ing the past six months that they will not only show a large incsease over the corresponding six months ot 1914, but that they be able to report a total in crease for the year 1915 as com pared with 1914, Out on the Pacific Gwt pros perity ha9 .not yet. become as firmly'established' as it' is in the But and Centcral West.

Take the omobile Company, Jnd., formstance [.of the ured supply the demands of their agents. Never before was the tire business so good as in 1915. A protratced fall made it possible for people to drive their cars later than usual. According to the wall street Journal, The B. F. Goodrich Company, the lead er in the production of automo bile tires, in 1915 increased its total sales 35 per' cent over of 1914. This company has brought about a resolution of 45 per cent in the prices of tires to users during the past two years. Yet, with this lowering of prices, the goodrich Company is able able to show! a big in crease in its total business. Its output as reported recently by the Wall Street Journal reacned the highwater mark in automo- mobile tire making by a single day’s production ot oyer 14,000 tires. Silent Salesmanship- Adver tising-will play a more promin entpartin the big successes of 1916 than evev before. Forcible Silent Salesmanship is advertising in newspapers backed up by equally forcible to personal salesmanship, will deter mined the varying degrees of aspired to by manufactures in the coming year, Concerns that have products which the people want at a fair price will have a banner year between nowand the beginning of-19N, if the quality of their advertising is such as to compare with that of Goodrich and Dia mond Tires, Hart Schaffner and Marx clothes, Athena underwear Royal fTypwTiters, Welcli’s- The National Drink, Snider’s Catsup, Keen Kutter tools , and hardware, and Haynes, Hui Chalmers, Cadillac, Studebdker Overland, Dodge and Hupmqbile cars. The heads of big business organizations are; taking advler tismg during the coming yJ more seriously than they have! in the past. They are are using i it in a bigger and better way than formerly to dovetail with aiid support the work of their sales men. Silent Salesmanship is no long er a gamble. It stabilizes arid standardizes business, and yoii will find that advertised pro ducts will reach the pinnacle in sales during 1916. The news papers will be the largest gainers their standards, ond giving better service and co operation to the advertiser and the consumer. Hence they are being rewarded by the receipt of bigger and better patronage trom the advertiser. Newspayer advertising is by the most effective, as wel the most inexpensive, foi Silent Salesmanship.^ . So, wjth people the country havi HOW WILL YOU, FEEL After Thursday Jan. 20?
