Heiser, MlDDLEBURQH, PA. Dear Sir: It is your business to know what materials to put into a house as well as to plan it. Of course, you know the effect of zinc on lead lnpalnt-tough-ens It. Do you also know the greater effect of zinc ground in. For a painter cau't grind; he can only mix. Devoe lead and zinc Is thorough ly ground in oil. The result is an Inti mate mixture. Your painter can only mix he cau't grind; there's no need of grinding by hand. He should buy lead and zinc ground together in oil. Devoe lead and zinc Is that; the pro portions are sight besides. It outlasts lead and oil two to one, and costs no more even less; for handy-work can't compete with machine-work. Y'ours trtiely, F. W. Devoe & Co. The Post's Life Subscription. In order to bring the contest for a life sudscription down to facts and figures, we will make preparations to close it. Up to this timo the following named persons have filed claims for the prize. James Shuman, Swineford. George J. Rousb, Kreamer. John W. Walter, Franklin twp. John Rennlnger, Franklin twp. In order that the contest may pro ceed we will accept proofs of having subscribed for the Post for certain period. For instance, Mr. George J. Roush has produced copy of the Post under date of Nov. 28, 1872, showing his name written on In ink now stain ed by the elements of time. Should Mr. Roush find proof of any older dates he will be entitled to have his date changed. He knows he has re ceived the paper for a longer time, but has found no evidence to prove it. Other persons who desire to compete for this prize should bring in proof for the oldest date they can secure. This will not bind them to that date as evidence of an older date will entitle them to a new position. Bend in your claims and proof at once as we desire to close the contest as soon as possible. ; 1 lilliH M-ffiti ScliooL A Nou Enterprise in the Shape of a Correspondence School to Teach Ad-Writing by Mail. The "News" of this place last week published a criticism of a booklet issued from this office. The criticism was taken from the Mail Order Journal, Chicago. The sentence containing the words "anxious by" represents a typo graphical error and should bo "anx. iously", which should satisfy the most august grammarian in the country. Nothing has been said In these columns up to this time concerning the corres pondence school for teaching the art of advertisement writing which is pro posed to be established In Mlddleburg for the reason that the plans had not yet been fully enveloped. If our con temporary had really intended to bene fit tho town by his announcement, he might liaye had a copy of the booklet which would have opened his "peep ers." Advertising la one of the real prob lems of the business world and to-duy every successful business c f any pro portions owes its success to the careful planning and operating of a good, live, energ -tic campaign. The need of care ful, considerate thought and business ability has called for special education ldp the Hues of doing successful work In" writing and planning advertising matter. Only the narrow-minded can stoop to the shameful pitfalls of propo sing adverse criticism to a budding enterprise of his own town that bids fjr to be known far and wide in every aud who knows perhaps to foreign countries, as America is far ahead of the Orient In advertising ideas. On ac count of the disgraceful repetition of the shoe factory episode, the Post deems It a duty to explain to its read ers the plans and purposes of this new enterprise for Mlddleburg. Advertis ing is not a fake, but a real genuine business problem. Men like John Wanamakerand other successful ad vertisers have learned the art of doing it successfully. Too many advertising ship wrecks have been strewn on tae sands of time by men who should have taken such a course of advertisement writing as we propose to give and are giving now to the men and women who have already enrolled for that purpose. Mlddleburg is not as large as Chicago or New York or Scranton, the home of correspondence schools, but just as good work can be done right from here as from the largest place in the world. The Utile town of Kendnllville, Iud., is known far and wide over this coun try, becauso of two enterprises that started as small as we do to-day. The The one Is a table for a sick bed and the other a wind pump, some of which are placed at farm houses In this very county. When Fred. E. Macey begnn to make furniture in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that town was not known and had not even a place on the map. Tolay Grand Rapids is tho largest furniture manufuctu ring town in the United States, and Fred. E. Macey is the king of them. In his business house alone there are employed no less than fifty type-writers busily engaged in answering letters and tho furniture he manufactures can bo found iu every town and city In the United States. Mr. Macey started at the bottom. We have taken the pains to examine every ad writing course offered to the public and we desire to say without the spirit of boasting that the one that goes out from Mlddleburg, Pa., is the most complete and the most exhaustive of fered to the public. We openly chal lenge contradiction to this statement The course consists of 52 lessons care fully prepared so that any one any where on the face of the globe can take up and' complete as successsully as though the student had personal in struction at a school. Each lesson Is worked out by the student at his own home and sent In for personal criticism. The work Is carefully examined and completely criticised and returned to the student The ideas embodied in these lessons have received the endorse ments of the best ad writers in the country. And to show how they are regarded by the best business schools of our own state we give below the names of five of the lending business schools of the state of Pennsylvania that have already adopted the course of ad writing that bad Its Inception In the town of Mlddleburg : Schlssler C'ollego of Business, Xorrls town, l'a. Magre's Business College, South Beth lehem, I'd. Keller's Business College, Lewlsburg. Willlamsport Commercial College, Wil liamsport, Pa. Pott's Shorthand College, Willuuns port The men at the head of these schools would not accept anything but the very best. What better testimonial to the worth and character of an ad writ ing course can be secured than the actual adoption by there schools of that very course? On the strength of the lessons of this ad writing course, this instructor hns been engaged by the "Penninn's Art Journal" of New York City to write a series of articles on Ad vertising, and ho has personally pre pared advertising matter for the largest jewelry bouse In SU Louis, rated in Brndstreet's at several million dollars. He has also written advertisements for the most successful firms in New York and Phila. and other large cities. The newspaper publisher or uny bus iness man who has time to find fault with his competitor's achievements is a self-confessor of his own weakness, and deserves the penalty he heaps up on himself. The busiuess man who carefully looks after his own afiairshas no time to find fault with a more ag gressive or even a less aggressive com petitor. The cowardly nnd disgraceful attack upon the shoo factory made a year ago, at that time Middlcburg's only industry, is duplicated by the pro rogation of a thrust against a develop ing enterprise of his own town. The criticism re-published bp the "Asp" was originally published iu the Mail Order Journal of Chicago, a publica tion which had trouble only u lew months ago with the Post Office De partment at Washington and in order to get help to get out of their trouble, wrote a personal letter to the editor of the Post under date of Aug. in, 1901, the original of which can bo seen nt tills ofilec at any time. The Post furnished the required assistance nnd the trouble wns cleared up. This shows what was done by the Post for the Mail Order Journal and what the latter did for the Post. With these remarks we will dismiss the Journal. As advertising is a subject that should be thoroughly understood by every business man nnd thousands of others who could help out business en terprises, if they would give the matter the proper attention nnd for the addi tional reason that the personal inte grity of the instructor of tho "Wngen sellcr Advertising School" hns been as sailed, we ask for the forbearance of our renders for using a little more space than usual to show what Is being done and what should be done in a matter of so vital importance to business de velopment. The name and occupation of an ad- writer is comparatively new. It is only of recent years that tho larger de partment stores and manufacturing concerns have begun to employ speci alists for doing that work. The work is so important that the success of many an enterprise is due to its power ful Invectives. The ad writer is a speci alist, as much so as a doctor or a law yer, and the man who prepares him self to do better work in any one line than his fellows is the man who will pluck the persimmons. While the larger establishments in this country employ and use the entire services of an advertising man there are almost a million houses In the United States who need the services of an ad writer, but can not afford to pay for their en- tiro time. Only a few thousands of these are being served at the present time by ad writers at so much a month or so much a job for a number of cus tomers, much the same as a lawyer contracts to do work for a dozen or more different clients. - iy If the business men ol 8nyder couu- wuo say that advertising doea not pay, would understand the technical points how to make it pay, the six newspapers of Snyder county would be filled to overtlowing with advertise ments, and the business men them selves would understand that advertis ing does pay and that prior to that time they had failed to make It pay. The best test of advertising Is in the money till. We are willing to be put to the test on this question and rmumt every business man in Snyder county or elsewhere to write to the Post for full particulars. We airreo to irive free ofchargo our services in writing and planning advertising matter for six months to every business man in Sny- ler county who uses the Post as an ad ertising medium, if contracted for dthin thirty days from tho date of this paper. If you follow our advira and your busiuess does not improve suiuclent to warrant the outlay, then say that advertising docs uot pay. TO SCHOOL TKACIIEK8 AND OTHKHS. To every school teacher in Snvder county and every other person who lias tne ability to write good English and possesses good common sense, we wish to say that if you will write to the editor of the Post and sav that you are interested iu improving your- sen anu want to cam two or three times as much as you are now earning, you will receive a prospectus of the ad writing course, exnlnininir the wlmln matter and when you have completed the course, whether you follow ad writing or not, if you do not cet twice as much value as you have paid for, you can claim and get your money funded. Princely salaries are nnlil - 4 ail writers. John Wanamaker navs his advertising manager flO.COO a year, more than Mr. Waiminakcr received while he was Postmaster General. Quite a number are receiving $T000 and many f330O, $3000 and $4000. These are only the best ad writers In the country.. poorest of them m-t m to 25 a week. Wiiat others aret is du to their earnest work. M'.bat. ov ill get is dependent upon vourself. The booklet will explain the whole matter. It is free. Write for it In addition to the persons enrolled from Pennslvania by the above named Business Colleges, students have been registered trom Illinois and Delaware. This is certainly a remarkable showing considering the fact that only two in sertions of a small ad was placed in 15 or 20 of the largest daily newspapers of the country, and that only within the past thirty days for the first time. Mid- dleburgh need not lie ashamed of her advertising school, because it gives tho most complete course of instruction lu advertisement writing, Planning and Management now offered to the public. If those ititerested will write us, we will cheerfully furnish further evi dence of what has been here set forth, BANK STATEMENT, re-to Kportof tliB Condition of Hie First Nutlonnl Bank of .MliMleljiir-li. nt MliMlrburtrh, In the State of I'i'imsylviuilii, ut tUc close of business Feb 2 VM : IlESOURCES. .nans mid iIIhwiiiiioi f J15.8o3.Tl Overclr.ilis, wruri'd and unveeiired... .
