One of the Great Successes of the Day.
During a recent interview with the
manufacturers of "Battle Ax" Plug
Tobacco they said they had been
amply repaid for the enormous amount
of money which they have spent for
newspaper advertising by a wonderful
increase of business. They claim
that they have had an excellent op
portunity to test the advantage ot
newspaper advertising, because ever
since they started, manufacturers of
other brands of plug tobaccos who
have for years made enormous profits
by giving to the consumers a small
piece of tobacco no better than
"Battle Ax," immediately recognized
the fact that on account of the super
ior quality and liberal sized piece of
''Battle Ax," their business was in
great danger of being curtailed. In
their endeavor to prevent this they
waged bitter war against the manu
facturers of "Battle Ax" and resorted
to methods of all kinds which seem
questionable to business men who
possess a higher sense of honor and
fair dealing. Notwithstanding all this
handicap, the manufacturers of
"Battle Ax," and through the medium
of their newspaper advertisments, were
able to tell the consumers of the high
grade and fine quality of "Eattle Ax"
and the great economy derived from
using it, until to day "Battle Ax" is
pronounced by all the greatest success
on the market and more pounds of it
are sold than of any other brand of
plug tobacco. So much for newspaper
advertising.
A marked feature ol the State Sun
day School Convention, to be held at
Carlisle, October 13 to 15, will be
the devotional meetings and Bible
readings, led by Rev. L. W. Munhall,
D. D., who is known throughout the
whole country as one of the most in
spiring of teachers and interesting of
speakers. These Bible readings ought
of themselves to be sufficient to attract
large numbers to attend. There is
every indication that the Convention
will be one of the largest in the history
of the Association. Full particulars
can be obtained by addressing the
Rev. C. J. Kephart, D. D., Annville,
Pennsylvania. It will be well to write
early and get booked for entertain
ment at this great Convention.
Is it not surprising that nearly every
household in the country should be

is just what all need in hot weather.
