FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana HEW OWNER MAKES HIS BOW. TO THE PUBLIC: I am the owner, now, of most of the stock of the Star and Wave Publishing Company and responsible for its business including it« assets and liabilities, , • « and it becomes necessary for me to make . nay formal bow to the public in this ■ capacity. It is more or less, a surpris- < ing development because never anticipat- j t ed and but little desired. Now that it | j has occurred, I am becoming somewhat :i enthused because there ft certain ap- 1 1 pealing elements in the situation, entire- j 1 ly independent of any chance profit or business success which are realized as a t result of meditation and which are stim- j ulating. One of these elements is in the 1 fact that this newspaper is one of the i ! . oldest of Gape May's land mqrks. The ; other tifct my father's connection with this newspaper business in Cape May •: began 35 yaara. ago'eo that "It is like one of the family, Which should not he ' • deserted. Of course, this 4s all scnti- 5 meat/ but it would get the average man g . .. similarly situated, and induce in him h to some extent; a , .willingness to ah r certain amount dl*"«elf-sacrifiea You' t certain amount dTtelf -sacrifice/ You

Will understand what I mean , by thjs , latter phrase when I aay that my< life's ! . ambition has be*D to become eetafclish- j ed fn nly favtrrite business ii V' large j city and that the way has'twen opesr' , _ lor several months to do thSa.",-*"' ' j >' . A- UTTLE HISTORY f .' My connection -with the newspaper Business at Oape May began in. 1889, ' * when my father, A W. Han*, 'became »' "Z half owner of the Star of the tMpe. I ' *f '' «gypqan»i<*^ at ;tha« time^J "?<■ »^man prtat^ an? was aft#- f ■ & and - Jrl. eiae whera, tnaBy reaching a toyman - \ , "Up, in the great Philadelphia puljahing .bouse of J. B. Ljppincptt -Company. My 1 v experience covered about al] details of1 . the business in the most up-to-date and . • largest ahopt. When the Star of the ' Ospe and Oape May Wat- Were consul!- j dated in 1007, 1 returned to Cape hfe? to assume charge of the mechanical part j otthe business, and haTe remained since, hecominc general manager in Wit, whep | my father severed his connection with4] the business. The Star of the Cape, a fUBet and that dso ' of the Ospe XMyl. Ware were decidedly primitive affair*^ j when the consolidation was effected, the"t •nly really valuable piece of machinery ( i in the Star outfit, being a cylinder press t . purchased new thrte years" before, and i •, the .only worth' while bit in the Wave j , . outfit being a fire bone power gas jc togine. There was a large supply of ( t tTP*'. gathered hap-hazard by different a owners, much of it useless excepting as ' t "metal and little of it of the sort that p modern printing demands. Excepting the In ■moaern printing demands Excepting

cylinder press mentioned, there Was not '■ a single piece of machinery which had ! not been purchased when purchased, second-land The consolidation of the Star and Wave and a contract for printing daily fo- two months of 5,000 copies of the Cape May Daily Star and Wave for distribution in the large cities, forced an immediate modernization of the plant as far as possible to meet this emergency. The contract was halted at the end of three days- and settlement was satisfactorily arranged later, but the plant was left upon a new basis, with its daily expenses about three times what 1 they had been in the case of either the Star or .the Wave and to avoid disaster, ] those responsible for the business were | compelled to "hump themselves"' as never before. The result was the enlargement i , of the scope of the business, the sicking ' of new trade over a much wider territory. | and the addition, as rapidly as it could be achieved, of new machinery and facilties. Nobody, excepting tbo*,- who have

E| been responsible, knows what a tremendous struggle was waged, nor how -far the business baa advanced into new lines and IE 'new. fields, since 1907, in spite of obsti1 Vies of all kinds * | WHAT OF TEE FUTURE. rt | So much for the past, which has been t embalmed and put away. We are now Ft facing the futnre and all the time, energy and skill which can be mustered ■* will be needed and applied to grinding our business ship beyond the breakers to the haven of success and we need particularly the encouragement and patronage of all who are interested in this resort because the continuance and success of the Star and Wave is as important to Oape May as it is to its owners. The Star and Wave is a Oape May institution and the setting of this Star would be as a severe blow to. Cape May, [as a resort, as H could sustain. If this j resort is to prosper, it must acquire the j habit of using printers ink in all dicecj tions, much more freely than it has ever done beforaf v - The ""Ocean Wave" was established in > 1855, sixty one years ago. The Star of * the Cape was established in 1868. Each ■ of these concerns began the publication * of summer dailies in 1868. The two i dailies continued each season until 1907, , when they were consolidated, and since j that time, the Daily Star and Wave was published each season until this, when it ■ was deprived of business to such an ex- | thatj it could not have been pub- | excepting at a loss. The_ daily is entitled to the disttnt- 1 tion of. being the pldest resort daily* published on the American Continent. .This has been definitely established by investigation. Its publication may be re.u/neu in 1917, if jt is possible. " " '<■ Star a.-'d Were is, therefore, aj^ institution; tccaucc o 1 its long life — ' ! errtce and intimate association with I ei'fj-y eporii, phase and detaiSof Cape May's history from the time of its greatest fame to now. . }»ot a few who hive become eminent -in other fields have been employed on it. .

We believe in the Republican', principles of government, but this does' ' (not mean that we are read* to e' e | not swallow

ij everything to which a Republican label d .may be attached. It would upset, to j I, beat trie band, a lot. of schemers who1 afflict both the Republican and Democratic parties offering their great "inT fluence" (?) to the highest bidder and e trJ''ng to force all sorts of deals on r this basis, if every Republican and every . I ^raocat were to matte such monkev t business impossible, by refusing to rec- • ognise or tolerate such schemes. We are f under the impression that our people' • j have reached some such point of view and that the star chamber conferences ' I I usually held where there an- no stars ' , Dor brightness of any kind, are not : • panning out. • ORGAN FOR ALU THE PEOPLE ' j The Star and Wave is to be a news- ' paper and an organ for the people, all of th,. people.
