It is indeed a pleasure to receive such letters as these, expressing such appreciation, and to know that what we have to say is being accepted into your coniidence, generally. Below are copies of ‘‘first’’ and ‘‘second”’ best articles as we have them. Why “The Erie Jewelry Co.” is a better firm name than “Erie W. Nickell Jewelry.:’ FIRST. Anyone who has ‘an eye or an ear for the beautiful, must readily agree that “The Erle Jewelry Co.” is a better firm name than “Erie W. Nickell, Jewelry.” It 1s more city-like, looks better and sounds better. “The” is @ very little word, yetit meansso much. It means just one, and “the one.” Therefore it brings the store into prominence and conveys the purpose of the store, instead of leading one to sup- pose that jewelry {s merely a side issue. With all due respect to the proprietor and his name, we must agree that Nickell had better be left out of the firm name. “A good nameis rather to be chosen than great riches.” This store now has the good name and the riches are sure to follow. “What's in a name?” {s too old a saying. “It’s all in the name” is a better one. A preacher, a poet or a lecturer must have a good subject or theme, and every store must have a good name. In years to come, when the business of this store Increases and necessitates the formation of a larger company, the name will not have to be changed. I¢ {s a permanent one. It you doubt my words, observe the new sign as you pass the store. J.C. 6, SECOND. What is there ina name? Suggestion plays a great part In the affairs of men. Thisis a great truth that ts boing recogniz2d more and more every day. And by no one more than by the success- ful, sclentific salesman. That there is success or failave in the suggestion of a name is afact, proven beyond a doubt. Dr. Killam, tho’ a skilled physician, was @ failure till he had the legislature change his name to Curem. How great a success, think you, were the old law firm of “I, Ketcham and U. Cheatham?” The keen business man recognizes the necessity of a short, suggestive name for his business, and {f he does not have {t, the pub- lic {n thie ‘‘get there quick” age of the world will shorten !t for him. The public had shortened the name of the ‘Erie W. Nickell Jewelry Co.” to the “Nickell Jewelry Co.,” which suggested to the hearer, nickel jewelry—which is in no way true of the splendid atock of jewelry kept by this firm. “The Erle Jewelry Co.” is @ better name for it is not only short and “catchy,” but the name “Erie” is always assoclated in the minds of the people with Superior. And that suggestion given to the public will prove that there is everything ina name.
