The average person in the financial district in New York, as well as the genernl public, has but slight idea of the direct effect upon the money mar ket of the smooth and rapid transpor tation facilities or the reverse situation, as the cai-o inny be. It was the lack of trausportation facilities that caused the congestion in the wheat market bringing ocr into 1H-0 a large amount of the l!)l!l whent crop. The outcome was a lcng-continued nnd extreme strain upon the prinelpnl banks in the great crop moving centers and the final great I icak in cereal prices. THE TRADER. IB , ZI2-22aa.DAaiENST.

Broad St. and Germantown Ave. Above Erie Ave., Philadelphia THE DAILY NOVELETTE When lirotcn Meets Ilrown Ilv MAH.V M OK IKON Henry 'Ilrown stood looking out at the falling leaves on Stuyesnnt Square. He was feeling rather tern leramcnlal as he watched tln season djing before his eyes. The thought of all the nice things he hnd missed dur ing the summer haunted him he wished he had gone in for more tennis and golf, that he had not spent so much time in. doors. His mood wns ond of pleas ant melancholy rather than actual tin happiness, and the sharp discordant ring of the telephone was u distinct jar to his nerves. "Yes, hello." he answered, trying to remember that the voice with tlic smile w Ins. "May l speak to Miss Ilrown," asked a mini lit the other cud of the wire. "There is no Miss Drown hero; I am Mr. nrown." nnswered Henry. "I want Miss Hcnrlcttn Drown. ltVj Stuyvesant Snuare," persisted the voire. "Well, the name's all rleht, and the address is all right, but the gender's nil wrong. What's the answer?" Henry was annoyed but interested. "No. no. came tbrotigh.the receiver, "It's not n joke. Miss Drown has just moved in. on the second floor." "Oh. well," aid Ht'nry. "you have the wrong number. I'm on the first floor." and he rang off. From that daj on there was no doubt as to the presence of ,Miis Henrietta Hi own upstnlrs, He grew to hate the telephone for whenever It rang it ill was seemed lo he for Henrietta. People seeing his name in the book just took It for granted thnt "Henry" must be n mistake and substituted "Henrietta j and apparently everybody In the world knew and wanted to talk to her. IDs apartment became a sort of receiving station for her parcels nnd cnllcrs. Ann Henry, without having ever seen the lady, or heaid her voice, took an nrdcut dislike to her. One morning, while the chill Novem ber wind' howled through the suuaro outside and the steam wouldn't come up. Henry felt that Insult was being Milded to Injury when n large drop from ll elllng above fell with a gentle splash Into his coffee cup. A leak fimn Ili'iirletta's nnnitment. At hist, he had n definite cause for complaintj and up the stairs, three steps nt n tnuc. he went to tell her a few homo truths. Henry first thought that ho was dreaming that nothing ns pretty ami dainty ns the apparition that greeted his exes could be rcnl. And when the vis ion spoke nnd said "Good morning In that indescribnble way usually only at (filmic! in the lierolnes of fiction, be forcot tlie stored -up resentment by a sudden thought, "Out perhaps you are looking for Mr. Henry Drown, In the apartment down stairs. People often como up hero" first before they know the wild ways of an apartment house with two Browns in It." Merri ment radiated from her as tho rays from the sun. . Henry gulped. "No; you see, I am Henry Drown." "Oh," said Hcnrlettn, holding out a friendly hand. "What can I do for jou? Won't you como In?" Henry entered, explaining ns he came. "I just ran up to see if I couldn't be of some assistance to you. There seems to be just n tiny leak in your kitchen nnd perhaps 1 could fix it up for ou In a minute. The janitor, of course, doesn't get up as early as this!" He spoko in ii joculnr manner, but his head was swimming with n sense of his own unworthlncss nnd utter nbacment for the cruel things he hnd said and thought about Miss Hcnrlcttn Drown. Henrietta laughed In the most jovous way in tho world. "Thanks, awfully, she said, "But It wasn't n lenk at all. you know. I juAt forgot to turn off tlie water when I ran down to the cor ner to buy a paper, nnd when I came back tho kitchen looked like tho Medit erranean. Wasn't It too stupid of me? I bono, though.

"Perish the thoughtl f keep bucIj things out of tho kitchen on purpose,' he assured her. his really very nlco eyes gazing with discreet admiration into hots. "It just cooled off my coffee for me." "How perfectly dreadful." gasped Miss Hetrrlettn Drown. "Of course, you're going to let "mo give you nnothcr cup, or I'luncver forgive myself. Bit right dowrf here, please " And before he knew it. she had n cup of steaming fragrant coffee before him, with three lumps of sugar on the side nnd exactly the right amount of crenm. "I've talked to lota of your friends over the telephone," said the clrl, lean ing her chin on her hnnds, "nnd I ve opened two boxes of collars marked for II. Drown, and delivered here by mistake, nnd feel thnt I really know n lot about you." Tho smile she gnvc him showed two perfect rowa of tccthr and two sninll but unmistakable dimples nt the corners of her mouth. I m afraid some of my friends may have bothered you and you may have been getting my hairpins nnd hnndkcrchlefs. I do hone I haven't been n frightful nuisance!" "I should say not," exclaimed Henry, earnest conviction in his voice, "Why I've nlways considered it n pleasure to forwartl to you anything that camo my way.

L'hnne ZSOO Every Manufacturer Naturally the Chicago in America Has His Eye on Market There are three million people within the two hundred square miles which represents The Chi cago Market proper. There are thirteen million more people in the cities and towns of the five states surrounding Chicago which are commonly called The Chicago Territory. Manufacturers who think in terms of con tinents have a vivid picture of what this means to them. The sixteen million people in the five surrounding states, known as The Chicago Ter ritory, represent about one-sixth of the entire population of the United States. The three mil lion people in Chicago itself, which is known as The Chicago Market proper, represent one-fifth of all the people of the so-called Chicago Ter ritory. It is important to understand these two markets thoroughly before invading them. They are neither dfficult nor easy. BUT THEY ARE MARKETS THAT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD. The chief danger lies in not distinguishing between The Chicago Market, proper, with its three million people concentrated in two hundred square miles, and The Chicago Territory, with its thirteen million people scattered throughout five states. Again and again manufacturers, failing to make this distinction, spatter this great Chicago Territorial circle with their random shots and fail utterly to hit the bull's eye, which is The Chi cago Market itself. With a picture of some far-flung circulation in their minds, which, besides its Chicago distribu tion, is selling five or ten papers each in distant villages, fifty copies in this far-away town, or a hundred or even a thousand in that, these manu facturers are told that they can dominate not only Chicago itself, but the millions and millions of people in the hundreds upon hundreds of cities and towns in the five states surrounding Chicago. And it can't be done that way. You CAN influence those thirteen million people in the five states surrounding Chicago, but you've got to influence them by what you accom plish IN Chicago. There isn't a dealer in any of these hundreds of surrounding towns who doesn't know every product that the Chicago dealer is successfully selling and making money on. And there are few consumers in these surrounding towns, men and women alike, who do not know what Chicago men and women are favoring in their purchases. So when you actually win the favor of The Chicago Market, proper, you have really won the favor of the thirteen million people in the five states suiTounding Chicago dealers and con sumers alike. But if you fail to win full favor at this center of influence, you may as well pack up your goods and go home.. Now, how can you win full favor with the three million people in The Chicago Market proper? Every Chicago retail store knows that there is one paper in Chicago that reaches seven out of nine of all the English speaking persons in his city. He knows that that paper's entire circula tion of four hundred thousand daily, 6 days a week, is practically all within a radius of forty miles of his city hall. In other words, he knows that the circulation of The Chicago Daily News is as concentrated as the population of The Chi cago Market. And every Chicago retailer also knows that his advertising in that daily newspaper The Chicago Daily News is his daily meal ticket. You might as well try to talk him into advertising in The Daily Martian or The Venus Planet as to try to talk him out of advertising in The Chicago Daily News. So when you are ready for The Chicago Ter ritory, with its sixteen million people in the five central states, remember that the key to that ter ritory is The Chicago Market proper, with its three million people concentrated in Chicago itself. And remember, further, that when you come into this Chicago Market proper, not merely with the short-sighted idea of getting your goods onto the dealer's shelves but with the far greater wisdom of choosing a medium that will get them off his shelves, just you advertise where the Chi cago dealer advertises, and as he advertises, day by day, and you Will have the extreme satisfac tion of winning full favor in this greatest center of influence in America. Don't worry about the thirteen million people in the five states around Chicago. Just you win the favor of the three million people in Chicago and that great surrounding circle will take care of itself. Write down on the tablets of your memory that when you are ready to come into this great middle western Chicago Territory, you must come first into the concentrated Chicago Market itself: and that in that concentrated Chicago Market the one publication of concentrated circulation you must use is The Chicago Daily News.
