Now let’s apply the same rule to broad business. The manufacturer wishes to get very close to a most import- ant couple, Mr. and Mrs. Con- sumer. The nearest friend to Mr. and Mrs. Consumer is Mr. Retailer. Mr. Retailer has many solici- tations for introductions, but he wants to feel sure Mr. and Mrs. Consumer will approve of Mr. Manufacturer. Mr. Retailer communicates with Mr. and Mrs. Consumer through advertising in daily rewspapers like The Bulletin. He knows no better way for the national manufacturers to pique the curiosity and arouse the enthusiasm of buyers than through the same medium. He is willing to do the rest. | A co-operative campalgn in the daily newspaper between merchant and manufacturer brings results in short order. Merchants and manufacturers interested in local advertising for nationally distributed articles are invited to write to the Bureau of Advertising, American News- paper Publishers’ Association, World Bullding, New York, | 1 E. W. Robinson Wins D&f@tin;G.L PRESTDENT L. C. WILLIAMSON. In His Second Term. E. W, Robinson of Mansfield, Mass., promoted from the second to the first division in the national rogue tour- nament after the committee had seen his opening game in the second di- vision, proved the dark horse on the battles with the mallets and balls on the Rockwell gtreet grounds last week and on Saturday took the final games which made him the national roque champion. BEddie Clark of Springfield for two years before him, came in sec- ond, defeating all in the tournament but’ Robinson and the Mansfield play- er made his victory the more impres- sive by closing with a clean score of 12 games won and none lost. Charles C. Cox of Malden finished in third place, playing his last game with the new champlon. As Robinson had already beaten Clark when he met Cox, the player from Malden had a chance to complicate matters nicely if he could have defeated Robinson for that would have brought himself, Rob- inson and Clark into a triple tie for first place. But he was not equal to the task. In the Second Division. In the second division E. G. Adams of Kingston, N. Y., won first place with a score of 8 won and 2 lost. Here again there was a chance for a tie for the top line honors if W. C. Rodman of Providence could have defeated G. 1. Hewitt of Mansfield, Mass. But Hewitt took the game from Rodman. Rodman then won from J. D. Webb of West Chester and thus made it a triple tie for second place _between Hewitt, Rodman and J. D. Miner of East Greenwich. Mr. Miner did not stay to play off, but Rodman and Hew- itt took up their mallets and balls (o decide who should take the medmal. In this game Rodman won and with it he took second place in the tourna- ment. The medals were presented to the prize winners by Horace T. Webb, chairman of the arrangements com- mittee and the tournament of 1913 was officially closed. following were games played E. W. Robinson beat H. T. Webb. H. T. Webb beat C. G. Williams. E. W.

J. T. Clifford of Westfield, Mass., Had Started te Swim from Ocean Beach Dock.e About 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon the sudden death of John T, Clifford, aged 60 years, of Westfleld, Mass,, oc- curred at Ocean Beach, while he wa: in bathing. Clifford, with a party of others from Westtield, was passing a week at the beach. Sunday afternoon, with several friends, he went in bath- ing, and all started to swim from the pier at the beach to the raft. others of the party reached the raft in safety and turned around to see what had become of Clifford, as he did not appear pear by. They saw a crowd gathered at tue pier and mistrusting that Clifford has been overcome, they started back to shore.where they found the dead body of Clifford. Soon after leaving the pier, and be- fore he had gone many feet, Clifford was stricken with heart failure and died almost instantly. He made no outery, but his condifion was observed by a number of those around the pier and the captain of a launch dove into the water and took the body to shore. Several medical men who were at the beach at the time were called, but Clif- ford was beyond their aid. The dead man was not known to have had a weak heart, and no fear for his safety was felt by those in the party with him. Dr. Harold Heyer, acting medi- cal examiner, who was called, pro- nounced death due to heart fallure. Clifford was employed in Westfield as a buffer in a textile mill. He leaves a wife and five children, all grown up.: The body will be sent to Westfleld this morning for burial. A large crowd was attracted to the scene of the tragedy.
