I'j‘I'HE suBSTiTuflon EVIL.
Men Who Spend Large Sunis fdr Advertis-
ing lnsist'Upon Its Full Benefits.
When an advertiser spends money
liberally to popularize a certain brand
.—be the article a food product, a whis-
key or a medicine—it ' is but natural
that he should feel entitled to the full
benefits of his expehditures. . But many
advertisers complain that people per-1
mit themselves to be persuaded ,to ac -
cept something “just as good” in place
of the particular brand'called for.
The first advertiser of national prom-
- inence to make-the evilisubstitutjon the
subject of announcement, so far as we
are aware, was the firm of Chester H.
Graves 8; Sons of Boston, who several
years ago published in’a Denver, paper
a large display advertisement, calling
attention in the strongest language to
this crying evil. This firm sells a high
grade whiskey, which has a large sale
at driiggists and high class grocery
stores. They have spent many thousands
of dollars to acquaint the public with
the high order of merit of their par-
ticular brand, the .“G.' 0. Taylor”.
Whiskey. It' is the opinion of Mr.
Graves that his sales, though very large
would be increased by a goodly percent-
age if people would not allow them-
selves to be deverted to inferior brands
when desiring to purchase “G. O. Tay-
“Advertised brands,” says Mr.
Graves, “I am speaking of those which
have been kept before the public from
year to year, and of other products as
well as whiskeys, must be of necessity
of higher than average quality. For
this reason the profits on the first sale
produced by advertising are seldom
sufficient to pay its cost. But the ar-
ticle must have merit in order to secure
the stimulative effect of continuous ad-
,vertismg. It is the recommendati‘bniof
one purchaser to another, and further
sales to first purchasers that in time
create a demand of sufficient volume to
pay the advertiser. If an article has
not high merit it could not be continu-
ously advertised.
“The average merchant‘will not go
so far as to palm 06 a probable coun-
terfeit, with label and package put up
to imitatethe original brand, though
‘ this issometimes done by unscrupulous
dealers. But the average 'merchant
does claim that it is not only per-
fectly natural, but absolutely proper,
on his part to make every legitimate
effort to sell a customer any goods he
may choose, if he does not happen to
have the particular brand called for, or,
having the brand, desires to sell some
other which pays him a larger profit. If
this reasoning is correct, the fault lies
with the customers themselves. If peo-
ple would always insist upon having
just what they ask for and would ac-
cept none other, substitution would be
"reduced to a minimum.”—New Haven
Register. ' ' '

All in President’s Hands".
Vl-‘ashinglon, Jan. 13.—The end is in
sight. \Nithin forty-eight hours, on
present indications, intervention in Cu-
ba. will have been forced on the Ad-
ministration. It will be found not un-
prepared. The rioting in Havana was
much ficrcer than the. censored press
reports indicate. ‘ ,.
General Lee got at the cable early,
and reported that the situation was
serious, and that the mob was “getting
even with the Americans” and “down-
ing the United States” as much as it
eral Blanco at once threw a heavy. cor-
don of Spanish regulars with artillery,
and the whole square and adjoining
streetsvrere held. This alarming in-
formation came late. ‘
The President did not wish to act
precipitately, but .the emergency had to
be met promptly. The Navy Depart—
ment was notified, and Commodore
Crowninshield. Chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, at once sent dispatches to
Admiral Bunce, with the White Squad-
ron, to hold every vessel in prompt,-
readiness, and to Key West for the ves-
sels at that point to be ready to start
for' Havana on signal. but not to land
unless in’str icted by General Lee.
The Key \Ve’st squadron cannot be
assembled before to-night,‘ as they are
hunting filibusters. Not later than to-
morrow they will be in hand. While
alone they would be unable to do much
at Havana, and might serve to inflame
the Spanish mob to greater excesses,
they can give a good account of them-
seves in preparing for the heavier fleet
,to follow. The torneddflotilla has been
notified andcan be put into Key West
for’a dashon Havana by to—morrow.
