MEMBERS of the Broadway Association and friends, appreciating the importance of the forthcoming Na- tional Democratic Convention in New York, thought- fully prepared a little book of facts about Greater New York that will receive free distribution among all the delegates. The committee in charge has arranged for 1 00,000 copies. Its title is "New York — Where to Go and flow to Get There." The facts are as near correct as is humanly possible to com- pile them, while its range covers all that can be of immediate service to the stranger within our gates, and makes known in the most modest form all the places of interest in this great American city. Through the courtesy of the Hotelmen's Association, each delegate is assured of receiving a copy of the guide to New York in his own hotel. It has only been possible to produce this great volume of facts by the assistance of a number of New York business men, who by their patriotic public spirit wished to participate in making the visit of the representative Democrats of the United States just a little more inviting. Y I MHE Broadway Association was organized in 191? by a f small group of men to maintain Broadway as a thorough- fare of the most modern type. Today it has over 1000 of New York's leading business men cooperating to preserve its history, which is rich in romance and progress ; enlarge upon its social and industrial life ; emulate truth in advertising ; improve its traffic conditions; aid the municipality in the observance of law and order ; provide effective publicity ; foster remedial legis- lation, and standardize outdoor activities to the end that Broad- way shall always remain the greatest street in the world. The name of Broadway is sacred to the members of the Association. It is the longest business street in the world. It starts at Bowling Green and does not end until it reaches Albany, the Capital of the State. Its entire length is paved, policed, lighted. In actualitv it continues on until it reaches the Canadian border on the north. Broadway can rightfully boast of its wealth, amusements, diversity of interests, architecture, public squares, monuments, history. It's a street of a thousand inspirations and the am- bition of every one to reach sometime during their life. Realizing that New York City could offer a great national convention all the facilities required to make such a gathering a success, the Broadway Association was the first civic body to extend the National Committee an invitation to come to the great American metropolis. And its members, by their zeal and devotion, will figure largely in presenting the best side of the city to the many thousands who will seek inspiration and recreation during their convention activities. •♦49= 1465 Broadway at 42nd Street Telephone Bryant 7637 Gifts from New York THAT WILL BE Treasured STERLING (SOLID SILVER) finely made by the best craftsmen, is a family treasure.

OF the manifold attractions New York holds for the transient within its gates from May to November, none surpasses that of racing' which begins at the various courses under the jurisdiction of the Jockey Club during the closing days of April and continues until the end of October. That New York racing should have an appeal for tho«e from other parts of the Union is readily understood. By common consent the greatest centre of population in the United States has long been voted the amusement and recreative hub of the Western hemisphere. Pleas- ure-seekers come to Gotham confident in the belief that it has attractions in keeping with its status as one of the chief social, financial and art centres of the United States. New York has long had a staunch following of its own for the thoroughbred. None surpasses the local enthusiast in his devotion to the turf. The patronage accorded to Belmont Park, Aqueduct, Jamaica and Em- pire City, while noted for its cosmopolitan quality pos- sesses a solidity that denotes the durability of the turf in New "'York. Racing here is a function as well as a recreation. It also has an economic value because of its relationship to horsebreeding, the thoroughbred de- veloped by the tests of the course being the quickening element so essential in the improvement of all other types of the light horse. Almost the same atmosphere is found at Saratoga Springs where racing is conducted throughout the month of August. Horse lovers of the central part of the State and the thousands of visitors from all parts of the United States, Canada and Cuba find the waters of the resort and the races an irresistible combination. The casual patron recruited from the territory close to New York is replaced by those from the rural districts, while some devotees of the sport come from as far away as the Canadian border to view the attractions on special occasions, the superb state highways making a return trip from Montreal possible in a single day. The importance of racing to any country cannot be over-estimated. During the period of nation-wide legis- lation restrictive to the turf between 1908 and 1912 the United States lost thousands of its best specimens of the thoroughbred to foreign countries. The thorough- bred is an international 'commodity and his value is based on his earning capacity. If we interfere with that capacity, or in other ways discourage and hamper the development of racing, our thoroughbred will be taken to those countries where racing is encouraged. In the course of a dozen years, we have not fully recovered from the injury sustained between 190S and 1912. In the meantime the usefulness of the thorough- bred has been augmented and the demand for preserving the type is greater than ever before. The coming of the automobile and the reduction in the commercial use of the horse has cut down the breeding of the light draft and cavalry horse, so that one of the most im- portant fields of encouragement for production lies in fostering the breeding of the thoroughbred and giving stimulus to the necessary test of racing. Something of the damage inflicted on racing by legis- lation inimical to the turf is shown by the official re- cords of the Joc key Club. The high" water point in breeding was reached in 1905, when 4411 thoroughbred foals were registered. From that point there was a gradual decline to 1740 in 1913. where the tide turned with a resumption of racing. Recoverv has been slow- but sure, 2648 foals being registered in 1923. It was es- timated that nearly 9.000 thoroughbred mares were owned in the United States in 1905, while the present day total runs to about 5500. The quality, however, has greatly improved, and every patron of the race course can feel himself a public bene- factor, helping to build up an important arm of defense, the cavalry horse, for we must assume equal respon- sibility if we put our young men, in time of war, on an inferior horse, as we would if we placed an inferior rifle in his hands. Only those familiar with the history of the turf in New York can appreciate the loyalty and disinterested- ness of those responsible for the conditions under which the sport is at present conducted. Millions have been spent in developing park-like properties that have yielded lean returns upon the investment, taking the period of their existence into consideration. Sport has been the actuating impulse behind the move- ment that has brought into being the superb plants at Belmont Park, Saratoga Springs, Aqueduct, Empire City and Jamaica. The throngs which view the historic rac es under the auspices of the Westchester Racing As- sociation, the Saratoga Association for the Improvement of the Breed of Horses, the Queens County Jockey Club, the Empire City Racing Association, and the Metropoli- tan Jockey Club is the best proof of the public's appre- ciation. Great stake fixtures, rich in tradition, are offered an- nually. Their continuity has been the greatest safe- guard the breeders of the country could desire. They have stabilized values of bloodstock and made them as standard as other commodities. Y-ear by year these prizes have mounted in value as the" public has made it possible by liberal patronage at the gate — New York racing derives no financial support from any other source save that of the catering and a few other minor privileges. That such stakes as the Belmont and Lawrence Real- ization for three year olds and the Futurity for two year olds, raced for at Belmont Park, and the Hopeful for two year olds at Saratoga Springs, should each have a value of $50,000 or more, speaks eloquently of a system which neglects dividends to build racing programs of such richness. Other events of great value at Belmont Park are the Suburban and Metropolitan Handicaps. Saratoga has its Travers, Alabama and Hopeful Stakes. Aqueduct the Brooklyn and Aqueduct Handicap and the Dwyer and Great American Stakes, while Jamaica's chief fixtures are the Exct 'sior and Paumonok Handicaps and the Youthful and Colorado Stakes. Empire City's chief prizes are the Empire City Handicap and Derby and the Whirl and East View Stakes. The quality of the sport on these courses in 1923 was high and the awards to horsemen reached the magnificent lotal of $2,080,991 contributed as follows: Westchester Itacing Association $tit>3,151; Saratoga Racing Association *402. 789; Queens County Jockey Club. $380,831; Metro- politan Jockey Club $318,961; Empire Citv Racing Asso- ciation $314,859. A feature of the sport on Jockey Club courses in 1923 was the $100,000 International Race between the Ameri- can champion three year old Zev and the Epsom Derby winner Papyrus. The promotion of this event gained for the Belmont Park management a well deserved measure of praise. The race was of the greatest benefit to the cause of racing and undoubtedly paved the way to that reciprocal relationship between the turf governing bodies of the world which was the purpose of those who framed the event. Thousands who had never visited a race track previously saw Zev defeat the English colt on October 20th. The meeting of the Queens County Jockey Club is being held at the present time. Its Aqueduct course is one of the best in the circuit. A visit to New York would be incomplete without an afternoon there with the thoroughbreds. to Madison Square Garden and the Madison Square Theatre This is the historic "Garden." For thirty-five years it has been fa- mous as an amusement center for the city, and for the whole nation. Here the "400" has come to the annual Horse Shows; here thou- sands of spectators have enjoyed the circus and the six day bicycle races; here is tlie Democratic Na- tional Convention of 192$, and here a great department store, Macy's, has placed a club room at your service. % DELEGATE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION - JUNE 24, 1924 The Democratic Convention Committee has accepted from R. H. Maey . & Co., Inc., a rent-free lease of the Madison Square Theatre, to be your official reception room, post office, telephone exchange and cloak room. You are coming to New York City, and the city will welcome you as no city in the world has ever before wel- comed a group of honored visitors. You come with a high purpose. You will nominate a successor to Jeffer- son, Jackson and Cleveland ; and you will draft a platform for the nation's welfare. New Yorkers are eager to make your stay in this city a memo- rable one, to facilitate your deliber- ations, and to give you the conve- niences which you rightfully expect of tlie nation's largest community- At Last — a Comfortable Convention Most political conventions in tlie past have been notoriously uncom- fortable, especially for ladies. A dil- igent search lias therefore been made for a building to serve as a conven- tion annex, in which you will find a luxurious elubroom, a headquarters for all your activities as the delegate or alternate of your party, and as the city's guest. New York's leading department store, R. H. Macy & Co., Inc., has solved this problem by leasing from the theatrical company which occu- pied it, the Madison Square Theatre, which is part of the Garden and di- rectly adjoins its main entrance on Madison Avenue. Macy's has now turned the theatre over to tlie Convention, h a v i n »• ST U BROADWAY decorated and furnished it, and laid a flooring over the orchestra seats. And Macy's has placed in tlie theatre attendants to wait upon you, an information desk, a theatre ticket agency, and other conveniences of a first class club; together with the Convention's official post office and telephone booths. What the famous "cloak room" is to the Senate, in Washington, this annex will be to you and to your family and friends during the Con- vention; it is presented to you with the conviction that you will find it hotli pleasant and NEW YORK CITY useful. WHEN" Sevmour and Blaine were nomi- nated in 18C8 in New York City, Macy's occupied a tiny store downtown on Fourteenth Street. Here Mr. Macy originated his famous policy of buying for cash and selling for cash and guaranteeing his prices to be the lowest in the city. This policy, sacredly maintained for 06 years, has made Macy's the largest re- tail business under a single roof in America. mm As you stroll up Broadway from the Garden, you will see Macy's amazing new skyscraper addition, the highest department store build- ing in the world. Inside the store a special re- ception committee will be at your call, and will show you its many novelties, and the 131 depart- ments which make Macy's store one of the most interesting sights in the city — not 'inly a local institution, but a national institution as well. The Straus Building Fifth Avenue— -at 46th Street N welcoming the delegates, guests and all others to New York for the Democratic National Con- vention, S. W. STRAUS & CO. invite the many numbered among its bondholders not only to visit our offices, but make these offices their headquarters. We will be genuinely glad to see you, to show you our building— a structure not unworthy of a visit of inspec- tion— and to place at your disposal such courtesies and conveniences as may make your stay in New York more enjoyable. s.w.

"When Uiis building is erected it will he nne of the landmarks of the city, rivaling the Wool- worth Building, the Metropolitan, and the Ca- thedral of St. John the Divine." — John Clyde Oswald. President The American Trinter. A Great Business Plant The $4,0(10,000 Broadway Temple will con- tain fireproof, modern elevator apartments for 500 people, with playgrounds on the "roof. In the 24-story tower will be dormi- tories, all furnished, for 500 young men. On the street level will be stores, and a church auditorium seating 2,200, and in th'- basement, full equipment for social ac- tivities. The whole plant will be con- structed, financed and operated through a Corporation of prominent business men of New York. "There shouldn't he any question in anybody's mind as to the ultimate success of it, and I am very proud to have the opportunity to he a part of it. You put this wonderful edifice on a floe business basis." — H. M. DoWNBS, President Liberty National Hank. Self Support and Earnings Rents of apartments, dormitories, and stores are based upon an expert study of the neigh- borhood, and the assured financial income from them will carry and ultimately liqui- date the Mortgage Gold Bonds on the build- ing. When the income exceeds these re- quirements and the operating budget of the Temple itself, the surplus will be used to found and support other churches in needy parts of the city. Broadway Temple "will be the crowning glory not only of architectural but of religious New Standing on the highest point of Broadway, in the midst of the teeming millions of New York City, more than half of them without church homes or habits, where a million chil- dren are without religious instruction, and where all races of people, from all lands, surge to and fro in restless multitudes, the Rev. Christian F. Reisner, moved by this great human need, uttered the words of King Solomon to Hiram, King of Tyre, and said: "I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God. And the house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods." And this great Broadway Temple shall stand on the summit of the city as a service station to mankind.

The development of the property so as to furnish homes and produce an income is good economics." — \Ym. J. Taylor. President W. S. Taylor Co., Building Construction. To Meet a Present Need Manhattan Island has 36 fewer Protestant Churches than 25 years ago. No new strong church has been organized and erected by its membership in New York City within 15 years. Sixty first class theatres, and many great Hotels, Lodges, and Commer- cial Buildings crowd the skyline, but no up- standing building devoted to religion looms above them; while only 425,000 of the 2.00O.000 Protestants in New York are members of the local churches, and 1,000,- 000 children are without religious education. "The realization of your purpose will mean the promotion of religion in this great world center and consequently the vital enrichment of all that constitutes its life." — Lithkr P. Wilson, Bishop of Methodist Episcopal Church. Strong Business Backing The organization includes in its active and advisory committees nearly 100 of the most responsible and experienced men in the busi- ness, financial and religious affairs of the Metropolis and the Nation.

It has lived under twenty-nine Ad' ministrations, twelve of which during the past sixty-three years have been Republican and four Democratic. Its depositors and clients, its stockholders, its directors, its officers, are not all of one Party, and institutionally, it has no Party affiliation. It has always held it as its duty to support the endeavors and acts of the ruling Administration so far as in its opinion they were economically and financially sound and for the public good. Its advice and counsel have not been colored by Party bias. egardless of the results of this Convention, and the sub- sequent election, we shall go on with policy unchanged.

Not only through North and South America and in Europe, but 'round the world. In addition to the Wanamaker London and Paris Houses long established and now perma- nently owned, and the Shanghai House in the East, there are direct Wanamaker connections with the most important Houses in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Russia; in Al- giers, Tunis, Egypt, Turkey, Persia and Arabia; in India, Kashmir, Afghanistan and Burmah; in Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti; in China, Japan, Korea, Manchuria, the Philippines and Siam ; as well as in the islands and countries closer home — in Cuba and Porto Rico, in Mex- ico, Central America, Brazil and other parts of the South American Continent. Wanamaker world-travelers in quest of the new, penetrate to the very edge of the desert, even to the door of untrodden Thibet. And here, at Yarkand in Kash- mir, the threshhold of Thibet, the Lama priests come down from the mountains to sell to Wanamaker's their buddhas and brasses which later are found in the Far East Shop. At Peshawar on the Af- ghan frontier and Rawal Pindi at the gateway to Kash- mir ; from Bombay to Am- ritsar, Agra, Benares, to Delhi and Madras ; in Pe- nang and the Straits Settle- ments to Singapore; in Ran- JOHN WANAMAKER PHILADELPHIA goon and Mandalay; in Shang- hai, Peking, Foochau, Soochau, and Hong Kong; in Tokyo, Yo- kohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka, Kioto, Gifu, Nara and Nikko; in Manila, Korea and Manchuria — everywhere John Wanamaker is known as both buyer and seller, as merchant and advertiser, as a pioneer in the business service of mankind. World-wide is the story of John Wanamaker's taking $24 out of his $24.67 first day's sales 63 years ago to place the advertisement in the news- papers which later, followed by others, led to the great advertising of today and helped to make the modern newspaper. His business innovations, his money back and one price systems, his courtesies of shopping, his makingastoreapalace of ar* and music — • all are part of the world's business history. Creative genius never dies. John Wanamaker lives in the institutions he founded even more creatively today be- cause his work goes higher with each new advance of mankind. From the New York House to the London House — first time from House to House — and over Great Britain and Europe the name was recently carried by radio in the broad- casting of the famous organs of the world, by Dupre and Courboin. There is no limit to the power and life of an ideal so generously given to the world. John Wanamaker freely gave all his discov- eries. He gave to the people their North Star of Business. slii' t *3 ll Till'?!

For more than three score years the position of the Steinway piano has been comparable to such a masterpiece — with this difference: A symphony, a book, a painting, once given to the world, stands forever as it is. But the Steinway, great as it was in Richard Wagner's day, has grown greater still with each generation of the Steinway family. From Wagner, Liszt and Rubin- stein down through the years to Pade- rewski, Rachmaninoff and Hofmann,the Steinway has come to be "the Instrument of the Immortals" and the instrument of those who love immortal music. Steinway & Sons and their dealers have made it conveniently possible for music lovers to own a Steinway. Prices: $875 and up, plus freight at points distant from New York.

Such limitations do not permit of the largest returns but they do constitute a bulwark which spells SAFETY FOR YOUR SAV- INGS.

One hundred and ten million people are working together and they are working voluntarily, because that is the way in which Americans must be allowed to work. Voluntary co-operation has given us a matchless railway system, but it also has permitted this system at times to be- come seriously impaired. This has been the case when greed, indifference or the blighting effect of purely partisan con- siderations have interfered with its true function — that of serving public, rather than private or political interests. Such impairment has cost the nation billions of dollars. A great party, hoping to assume the responsibilities of national government, can deal with few subjects of equal magnitude. Its members should understand the basic facts as they have been set forth clearly, simply and with entire fairness in a little book entitled, "THE AMERICAN WAYS This small volume, which can be read through in less than an hour, throws a flood of light on one of the most misunderstood questions of the present day.

Their pride in their work and its consummation in the car they have so earnestly striven to make perfect, is the finest thing you buy when you buy a Pierce-Arrow. The reason for this feeling is that Pierce-Arrow is not a machine-made product in a strict sense. Machines help tre- mendously, with their power and their accu- racy, but each car is perfected in its finer and more individual needs with handwork, and it is handwork of a kind calling for the highest spirit of craftsmanship on the part of the workman.

Our first charter was granted us on March 26, 1823 — one hundred and one years ago. Our expansion has always been a trifle ahead of the City's so that the increasing population would not be without its Gas service. Our properties today are valued at about $750,000,000. The com- bined sales of gas of the Consolidated Gas Company of New York and its affiliated gas companies in 1923 were 41,448,991,500 cubic feet of gas. We used 133,000,000 gallons of oil and 748,000 gross tons of coal to manufacture the gas. In 1868 the population of Manhattan and The Bronx was 949,685. Today we have 955,355 gas meters in those two Boroughs alone. The picture below shows the largest gas manufacturing plant in the world. Each of the two gasholders holds 15,000,000 cubic feet of gas.

THE REMINGTON-NOISELESS (formerly The Noiseless Type- writer) has been chosen as the official typewriter of the 1924 Democratic National Convention. No other typewriter has ever held this enviable position. This is a repetition of what occurred in 1920 when the Noiseless Typewriter was used not only in the Press Sections but even on the Speakers' Platforms at both the Chicago and San Francisco Conventions. It was also used by the Associated Press, the Inter- national News Service, the United Press and the Universal Service, as well as by the correspondents of the great daily newspapers. The Remington-Noiseless has again been selected, not only because of its silent operation but also because of its speed and dependability. It does not disturb and will stand up under the terrific strain of the Convention just as it did in 1920 This machine is the latest addition to the Remington Typewriter Line — an acquisition which makes the Remington Line universal. There is now a machine bearing the name Remington for every conceivable need of every typewriter user. Remington Typewriters are famous for their ease of operation, lightness of touch and durability.

WHO WILL BE NOMINATED? WHAT WILL THE PLATFORM SAY? WILL THE CANDIDATE NOMINATED BE ELECTED? WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE TO KNOW? Many have their opinions. Some feel pretty sure. There is much enthusiasm. There are many prophecies. But no one knows. No one will know the name of the nominee until the fateful ballot has been cast; no one will know who is to be the next President until the evening of Novem- ber fourth next — and perhaps not then! Uncertainties! If the National Committees could only insure against them! But there is no insurance company that can insure against the uncertainties of a national convention or a national election. OTHER UNCERTAINTIES The delegates will get all worked up over this convention and over the election following They will get into a fever heat. They will make plans; they will consult; they will bargain; they will make promises; they will even tell some whoppers — because they will say they are sure. Sure nothing! There is a question of very much more importance to every Delegate than the outcome of this convention. There is something more important to the voters than the result of the election that will follow. It is this — Will you live twenty years, or ten years or one year? You are relatively worth more to your family than this or any convention is to the country. Conventions and elections are mere incidents. The country will be safe in any event. You can afford to see your candidate or your party defeated — ■ But you cannot afford to die and leave your family unprovided for. No real man or woman can afford to do that. And here's the comfort of it — you don't need to. You are not obliged even to take a risk, You can absolutely insure against such a result. Great duties cannot always be easily discharged. Sometimes they can be. The discharge of the greatest duty in life — the protection of dependents — looks to be the most difficult of all. In reality it is the simplest of all. Great problems cannot always be easily solved. Some- times they can be. It depends on how fearlessly and honestly we approach them. How easy, how simple the method of solving the great problem of duty to one's family. Just insure your life and it's done. NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, DARWIN P.

Y, IlllWIllltiiii To Better Serve the Trade THE new New York building of The Amer- ican News Company, Inc., is shown above as it will appear upon completion, occupying the entire block front on the west side of Varick street, from Spring to Dominick streets. Constructed of fireproof reinforced concrete, the twelve stories will give an approximate total of 300,000 square feet of floor space. In addition to large and attractive sales rooms, executive offices, and operating departments, there will be stock rooms equipped with over one hundred miles of steel shelv- ing, to take care of a stock of some 5,000 different stationery and toy items and over 1,000,000 books. Interior loading platforms will insure efficient ship- ping and eliminate all traffic congestion that curb loading produces. The roof will be equipped with recreation courts and will augment a rest room and cafeteria for employees. An automatic telephone and call system, and large display windows, dressed by experts as display suggestions to dealers, will be added features. The entire building will be fitted with carefully planned new equipment. The Turner Construction Company are the con- tractors for the new building, which was designed by Mr. Russell G. Cory, with Mr. William F. Wholey as equipment specialist. When the last concrete is poured, the last rivet hammered home, and the painter makes his last stroke, 300,000 more feet of floor space will begin at once to operate to better a service that for sixty years has been efficient in and proud of its purpose, that of distributing a nation's reading matter to every dealer in every corner of the United States and Canada regularly, and on time. With some twenty-two thousand different periodicals in the country, and the millions of books from the sim- plest A-B-C to the most profound works, it is easy to visualize the scope of this organization. The building when completed will be but one unit of seventy-five located throughout the country, effi- ciently serving the reader, the dealer, the publisher, the country.

This is indeed a radio summer! The vital interest of the presidential campaign- waged right in your own home. The glorious and inspiring church services. The important sporting events, market reports, home hints, intensely interesting talks, gay music — all these diversions are brought directly to you. Why Sending Is Better Last summer many high power broadcasting stations operated on a single wave length. This summer they are spread over a wave band. You may choose at your will. Sending stations have greatly increased their power and are spreading their programs over many more miles. Broadcasting from in- terconnected stations includes many people who would form- erly have been deprived of the unlimited pleasures of radio.

R Lehn & Fink's CONVENTION GAZETTE Published Whenever the Democratic National Convention Is Held in New York Vol. 1, No. 1 MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, JUNE 9, 1924 50 CENTS Landslide Nominates Pebeco on First Ballot Men's Faces May Be Things of Beauty There is no reason why a man's face should not be a thing of beauty. In any event, seeing it's the only face he 's got, he ought to take care of it. Every time a man goes over his only face with a razor, he leaves behind tiny abrasions and some- times honest-to-goodness gashes. Let one of these scratches or wounds be- come infected and the whole phys- iognomy is seriously in danger. Consequently, delegates, boy friends and favorite sons, you ought to take care of your faces when you are shaving them. You can do it easily and pleasantly by using "Lysol" Shaving Cream. This contains just enough of the antiseptic ingredients of "Lysol" to render it soothing and healing. You will enjoy using it. It will pre- vent infection and save your face. Hadn't you better see your druggist f Popular dentifrice easily cleans up — Sure to appeal to voters in all states — Known and liked everywhere Meeting with practically no opposition and cheered lustily by every delegation, Pebeco was unanimously nominated as favorite Democratic dentifrice on the first ballot taken in the Democratic National Convention, now in session in Madison Square Garden. The Pebeco platform is so popular in all sections of the country that the election looks like a certain - .ty. Pebeco stands for a clean oral cavity. It has been successful in stimu- lating the salivary glands so that they secrete an in- creased flow of cleansing fluids over the surfaces of the teeth. Pebeco has a wide acquain- tance and is always remem- bered as being invigorating and refreshing. You can meet the candidate in any drug store. WelcometoNewYork Lehn and Fink, Inc., as New Yorkers, take great pleasure in welcoming the delegates, their wives and daughters, their sons, secretaries, sisters, cousins and aunts, to their city. As importers of botanicals and chemicals, we take special delight in extending a most democratic welcome.

SMITH Manager A. H. O'BRIEN Secretary Member of Hotel Association of N. Y. City OF what is service to others the manifestation? The answer is, Service is simply the objective manifestation of love. The only way anyone can prove his love of his fellow-man is thru service to his fellow-man, The term love, scientifically under- stood, is the most constructive force in the universe. It's oppo- site, Hate, in all its various modes and manifestations, such as jealousy, fear, envy, etc., is the most destructive force in the uni- verse. Love constructs; Hate disintegrates and destroys. One Who Believes in Service.

Inecto Rapid, Notox, is specifically guaranteed to color — and permanently— naturally gray, laded or streaked hair to its original shade in 15 minutes; and not alone this ; it also brings back all the normal brilliancy with- out injury to the texture. The tint is both permanent and natural. Inecto Rapid, Notox, has made possible "The Art of Hair-Tinting." Women of refinement and discrimination everywhere insist upon it in prefer- ence to all other hair colorings. It will neither rub off nor be affected in any way by sunlight, shampooing, salt water, Russian or Turkish baths, nor by perma- nent waving or any other hair treatments. The absolute proof of its unqualified merit is that the majority of high-class hairdressers from coast to coast, who are the final authorities on hair treatment, use and endorse Inecto Rapid, Notox. In New York, for example, it is used in the ultra- fashionable hairdressing salons of the Hotels Waldorf- Astoria. Pennsylvania, Biltmore, Commodore, and in the Knickerbocker. Inecto Rapid, Notox, is com- pounded in 18 distinct shades, from raven black to golden blonde. You may try it under our 10 specific and binding guarantees. If it is not all we claim, your money will be refunded without question. Thousands of women apply it, for the sake of conveni- ence, in their own homes, and with invariable success, because it brings back the original color of their hair — and so naturally that the tinting cannot be detected, even under the closest scrutiny. Any woman not fully satisfied with the appearance of her hair owes it to herself to write for our Beauty Analysis Chart which permits us to advise her of the shade precisely attuned to her individuality.

BROWN PRINTING & BINDING CO., NEW YORK. X ! I 5c 3= I 1 7S[ 1 868, New York entertained its first National Democratic Convention. Horatio Seymour, the Empire States Civil War Governor, was named as the party's choice for President. In 1 868, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company had about fourteen hundred policies in force. The increase in Democratic votes and in Metropolitan policies since 1868 affords some interesting comparisions.

Visitor's outlook, 660 feet above sidewalk. Within eye- range are the homes of one sixteenth of the people of the United States. The Tower Clock is the largest four-face timepiece in the world. Dials, 26 feet 6 inches in diameter; figures, four feet high ; minute marks, 10' inches in diameter. Minute hand, 17 feet long, weight 1,000 pounds. Hour hand, 13 feet long, weight 700 pounds. At night, 612 bulbs are used to illuminate the dial and hands. Near the tower's top is an octagonal lantern, eight feet in diameter, which is con- tinuously aglow at night, rising like a beacon-light over the city, and exemplify- ing the Metropolitan spirit of watchfulness and guid' ance. It is known widely as "TheLight That Never Fails" As a purely mutual company without stock or stockholders, serving without gain, devoting itself freely to useful civic endeavor and to the better' ment of health, the Metropolitan has won recog' nition as a great and beneficent public institution. Its insurance provides money to educate children, to shield widows and orphans, to yield pensions, to pay off mortgages, to compensate for sickness and accidents, to conserve savings and to repay business for loss resulting from death in its ranks.
