THANK AMERICAN
PARIS, Nov. 18. — IlrivorR of the
American field ambulance continue to
receive citations and letters af appre
ciation for their work. Chief Surgeon
Guibal, of a division operating at Ver
dun, writes:
“At the moment when an unexpect
ed order of departure deprives the
12!*th division of American sanitary
section No. the divisional surgeon
desires to express to all its members
his deepest thanks.
“Since April 25, 1916, the section
has followed the division to the vari
ous points on the front, where it his
been in action at Lay St. Christophe,
in the dangerous sector of Thiaumont
at Verdun, and at Lois le Petre.
"The American volunteers have
everywhere shown an unforgettable
example of devotion.
"They carry away with them the
gratitude of our wounded, the admira
tion of all those who have seen them
at work and the regrets caused by
their departure.
“They leave behind them an exam
ple which it will be sufficient to re
call when in another Verdun their
successors Mill be called upon to show
the courage and self abnegation so ne
cessary in the accomplishment of their
mission.”
General Blondin, commanding an
other division at Verdun, Mrote on
September 25 to Sub-Lieutenant Rodo
canachi, of American sanitary section
No. 2:
“I wish to express to you my con
gratulations for the unwearied activ
ity, the devotion and the fearless con
tempt of danger shown by the drivers
of American sanitary section No. 2,
under your command, since their arri
val at the division, and particularly in
the course of the days and nights from
September IS to 20.
“The American drivers have shown
themselves worthy sons of the great
and generous nation for the emanci
pation of which our ancestors shed
their blood.
“I cite to the order of the Ttivision
Drivers Carroll Higgs and Owen Ke
nan, and would ask you to kindly
transmit to all your drivers my con
gratulations and thanks.
(Signed i Bl.ONDON.”
General Blond in also mentions Riggs
and Kenan in general orders for their
courage and devotion. Carroll Higgs
is from Washington, D. (’., and a
graduate of Vale University. Owen
Kenan is from Kenansville, N. C., and
was graduated from the University of
North Carolina.
Stanley Deli, of Princeton, N. J.,
and of Princeton University, has been
cited in the orders for his coolness,
eneigy and disregard of danger as an
automobile ambulance driver in sec
tion No. 4, attached to division *14,
and especially [or having brought, at
a great personal risk, a non-commis
sioned officer to a surgical dressing
station whose injuries were so had
that had he not had immediate atten
tion he would have died.

RIO HE JANEIRO, Nov. 18. — Am
erican business men here who recent
ly formed a strong Chamber of Com
merce for the purpose of developing
the large share of the trade which the
war in Europe has thrown from the
Old Continent rivals into their hands,
were chagrined at the appearance of
a large advertisement in one of the
principal journals of this city a few
days ago which caused much merri
ment in the commercial circles of their
English, French, German, Italian, Por
tuguese and Dutch rivals.
The advertisement was a large dis
play telling in detail of the merits of
a well known make of American auto
mobile. It was set forth in correct
Portuguese, the language of the coun
try, and would have been a good trade
puller but for the last line, which
read: "Agent for Brazil, Mr. A. Blank,
Quito, Ecuador."

Advertising
Surely
Pays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the
United States is enor
mous.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn’t need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself.
Keep I 'our
Name ‘Before
The Public.
S y GREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that j
everybody in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don’t make this
grievous mistake.
T he publ c is fickle.
The public is forgetful.
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transfer its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished” it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established" as
most enterprises.

Don ’/ Be a
Calamity
Howler.
By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t cry that the
country is going to the
bowwows. Things will
come out all right.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $ 100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
The results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, ‘‘Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing." If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
