For the first time since the
Journal has been under the pres-
ent management, the advertise-
ment of Montgomery, Wind &
Co. of Chicago occupies space in
its columns. We have always
refused this firm's business and
also that of Sears Roebuck. be-
en use we advocated home trading-

w ithout advertising, and believe
Montgomery. Ward & Co’s, mon-
ey, or a part of that sent there
from patrons in this section is

Journal.
The Times has always declined
this kind of advertising on gen-
eral principles, hut if our home
advertisers did not show the
proper appreciation, we would
do just like the Journal. A news-
paper cannot be a success with-
out advertising, and mail order
people know the value of publici-
ty, without which they could
not exist.
“It’s the Baking Powder, — not much like your old-style kind
that cost three times as much and wasn't half as good.”
“Well, it’s iust wonderful. Everything you make is light as a feather and

a cake to look like that. And to think it always comes out right! How foolish
I’ve been to stick to the high-priced kind,—forty or fifty cents a pound and no
better than they were fifty years agol”

fifty years. Wc guarantee that today the Best at Any Price is
