And all this in a little out ten years. Mr. Rockefeller's first gift having been made in May,1889. Can the world-how another such triumph u that? What in vanquish. ing Spoio o} overcoming the Boers compared with that? A Moment With the Business , manager. The day is past when arguments have to be used to show the value of advertising. One has only to point to the most sueces‘sful business firms any where to show that their success has been largely'obt‘ained by publici- ty,’ which id largely gained through newspaper advertising, Pear’s soap. Sapolio, Columbia ‘ bicycles and a thousand other articles are so largely used because of the persistent use of advertising. I want to call the attent'on of our business men" to the value (El our col. 11an for advertising purposes. It is just the time of the year when hun. dreds of new people are naming to the Park, many of whom will locate permanently when they have learned of the Park’e adrentngee.

Both of them are down on bottled Waters of any and every kind and'equally down on the mod- ern fad of a filter. They say the lake water is generally good. that they have most typhoid fevers and similar diseases among their high class patients who use filters and bottled. waters. The, bommon people amorg their patients who drink all the time right from faucets are in better health than the filthr and hot- tled folks. And in proof of. their sincerity, neither of these men will have a filter or patent bottled water in their families. Now the testimony of "these two men is worth a ton of the opinions of 13de - of . our wise\ men who have “crammed” on literature for the oc. casion» This kind of common sense, practical opinion of real. expertg. helps explain why Chicago hna never put in filter-beds; We have invented a word to meet our needs.
