Last month the well-known advertising agency of Nelson Chesman & Co. completed ts twenty-Afth year of continuous business. The quarter of & century during which it has grown from modest proportions to its present magoitude bas marked the evolution and sys- tematizing of the advertising agency business | as a science, and it is difficalt to realize what | few precedents the founder of t'e firm had to guide himself by when he, in partnership with Mr. George P. Rowell, commenced business in Bt. Louis on November Ist, 1874. To Mr ! Chesman is largely duc the credit of having 1\ "HURRY UP tOGE & 's 60T Tp = GIT HOME AN' 7 N (00K DINNER | § fi s MFFER DE. ! 3 < WHITE Fouy & + ® * man; "deed he is.”” The case was tak- ing too long for her, and she con- $ vulsed the court by shouting, “My X Gawd, Jedge, hurry up; I've got to go @ and cook dinner for some white folks." ?

Epecial Dispatch to The Call. VENTURA, Jan. 18—Manuel Gomez, a | young Mexican about 24 vears of age, was | murdered early this morning near Ox. nard. It is supposed that he was killed | by a companion named Raffael Caste- neado, also 24 years old. Major Carr, a | prominent beet sugar farmer, was aroused | about 1 o'clock this morning, and when he went out he stumbled over the| body of Gomez, which lay in the| driveway some thirty feet from the house. Gomez had been stabbed with a| sharp knife or dagger and was horrit butchered. His ears were slit, his shoulder sliced and his neck was bly left | cut | This last jab was the direct cause of | | death. He was bruised in general, 1 | Gomez and Casteneado imbibed liquor | | very freely at Oxnard during last even | ing_and toward night both departed to- gether for El Rio. When they reached | Carr's place, some two miles from Ox- | nard, the stabbing affray occurred with | disastrous results for Gomez, Gomez has served several terms in the County Jail, and is well known to the of. { ficers. Casteneado has not been in. the county many months. As yet the assall- ant has not been captured, although the officers are scouring the county for him. SIGNING VOUCHERS FOR CIVIL SERVICE APPLICANTS | SECRETARY SAYS REQUIRE- MENTS AR. NOT OBSERVED. Chief Civil Service Examiner Moran, in discussing the applications for positions under the classified service called atten- tion yesterday to an important require- ment In regard to citizens who sign vouchers testifying to the character and abllity of the applicant for preferment in the civil service. The point is an fmpor- tant one In this, that unless the regula. tions concerning the proper signing of the vouchers are strictly complied with it may jeopardize the position of the appli- cant. Secretary Moran is of the ‘opinfon that the requirements in the signing of the three vouchers, which are printed on the last page of the application blank, are not being strictly adhered to. These vouchers are to be signed by citizens who have known the applicant at least one year previous to the date of signing, and ihe signer Is supposed to have a general idea of the qualifications and good habits of the applicant. The vouchers are sworn to before a notary public or so qualified officer. e “In many cases,” says Mr. Moran, “the vouchers are signed by individuals who never met the applicant until they were introduced by some mutual friend, ain prominent men have been induced to sign the vouchers on clight acquaintance 0nfyA The applicant thinks if he has the names of three well known citizens that the weight of their good names will make the securlnf of positions all the easier. Noth- ing is further from the truth. It might militate against an appointee if the men who vouched for him on mere hearsay or slight information were called upon by the commission to substantiate their recom- mendations contained in th would suggest extreme e vouchers.

NELSON CHESMAN & CO. | fnaugurated what may be described as sy | tematic advertising. His firm started out | with the fixed idea that advertising pays, ! | tiser are carcfully studied, and proper care | exercised in the selection of medinms. Its pol- | fcy was to convince not only the occasional | advertiser, but the non-advertiser as well, of | this fact. In this crusade of education it suc- | ceeded beyond expectation, and although some of the theories and arguments favoring heavy expenditure in advertising were regarded at first as wild and unreasonable, its present staunchest adherents include many of its earliest and most severe critics. The close of the century is marked by the | and failure to judiciously advertise involves being passed by more enterprising competitors. Every year Nelson Chesman & Co. are con- sulted by firms which have either never adver- tised at all, or which have only advertised spasmodically, and hence in & large measure unsuccessfully. They are exceptionally suc- cessful in advising not only how and whers to advertise, but what lines should be made specialties of. Hard work for their customer’s success is a pleasure to them and while they may register an occasional failure owing to conditions be- yond their full control they have been fortunate in giving advice to their patrons and holding and increasing their business from yearto year. They believe there is no necessity for re- sorting to doubtful experiments on a large scale.

More than sixty experienced persons, exclu- € of eight or ten printers who set up adver- tisements and other matter on the premise re on the permanent staff of Nelson Chesman & Co., as compared with three or four in tho frm’s eariy days. To keep pace with this phe- nomenal growth the floor space of the head office alone has been increased from 600 to more than 7,000 square feet. More than 525,000 was spent for the building and for remodeling it for their offices at St. Lounis. They are one of two of the agencies that own outright and occupy their own building. The head office to-day is one of the best equipped in the country, and both branch offices are complete in every detail. In 1878 Mr. Rowell retired from the firm which then became known as Nelson Chesman & Co. For ten years it continued to extend the scope of its operations. 1t was incorporated under the same name, and & branch was opened in New York City. Three yaars later the Chicago branch was added. A | few months ago the New York office was dis- | posed of, and a branch started in Pittsburgh, Pa. All of the offices have been phenomenally successful. The officers of Nelson Chesman & Co. are all well known in the newspaper wor'd, as well as among prominent advertisers. The founder, Mr. Nelson Chesman, has always been the uiding spirit of the house during its long and uninterrupted career, and is still its President. The Vice-president and Treasurer of the com- panyis Mr. Conrad Budke. He secured a posi- tion with the firm in 1877, and when it was incorporated was elected Secretary and Treas- urer and placed in charge of the St. Louis office as general manager. On September 1st of this year Mr. Budke was elected Vics- President and Treasurer. His lengthy con- mection with the advertising agency business, aswell as the excellent opportunities afforded him of studying Mr. Chesman’s honorable and highly successful methods have made him an exceptionally valuable man to advertisers and publishers, and his advice and judgment are 1in constant request. Mr. Budke was succeeded in the Secretaryship of the Company by Mr. Richard Pendergast, another gradunate in the advertising business who has teen directly connected with the company since the year 1881.

Continuing they allega th: | 3 o t | nefther Joseph H. Moor, Willlam Me. | Crindle, John M. Moore or W. P. H. Adamson, who appear on the document as witnesses, subscribed their names there- to. The deceased, they claim. executed a will subsequent to May 22, 1882, in the presence of two witnesses whose names are unknown, but this document revoked any testaments made at an earlier date. At the date of the execution of the con- tested will, it is alleged, Sutro was of un- sound mind and incompetent to make a will or publish the same. ‘““At the time of the execution of the document,” the contest reads, ‘“Adolph Sutro was laboring under delusions con- cerning and relating to the contestants, which delusions had no foundation in fact, but could not be removed by argu- ment, proof or persuasion and the will was executed as a direct result of these insane delusions. “The Instrument was procured and made by undue influence exercised over him by divers persons, who took advan- tage of his weakness to Er)hwn his mind against the petitioners, their sisters and brother.” Following these allegations the peti- tioners set forth a list of the varlous heirs, legatees and clalmants, the latter being Mrs. Kluge-Sutro and her children. Although Mrs. Kluge-Sutro, who {s rep- resented by Rodgers, Paterson & Slack. will press her suit to a final conclusion, it is not generally belleved that the children intend forcing thelr contest, but simply filed the opposition in order to be within the statute of limitations in event the Supreme Court holds that the lower court erred when it invalidated the trust clauses in the testament. Bishop & Wheeler and Garret W. McEnerney rep- resent the children foh\ed in the opposi- tion of the will, while Lloyd & Wood are advising Mrs. Merritt and W. H. R. Adamson, executors of the testament. —_——— Stabbed by a Drunken Man. John Iverson was brought to the Har- bor Recelving Hospital last night suffer- ing from a wound in the abdomen.
