Energy in Advertising.

Thoroughness, industry and tact are
necessary in writing and keeping up a
series of paying announcements. Read
ers nowadays demand variety in what
they read, whether it be in their liter
airy matter, their news or their adver-
tisements. Monotony tires them. Brev.
ity and spice are absolutely essential
to success in advertising. Every mer-
chant can, with profit, study the meth
DDS employed by large advertisers in
attracting attention to their wares. 1t
is not necessary that the style of any
one of them be copied literally but
points can be secured from each and
all which will be of assistance in work
ing up a series of remunerative an
nouncements. Each advertiser should
use such suggestions as come in his
way for all there is in them, adapting
them to his own particular needs
Above all things never advertise your
competitor by scolding about him. Ad-
vertise your own goods and get all the
return you can for your money. Don't
get into rut.

The Natural Advertising Medium.

The local weekly is the natural me-
dunn for reaching the vast number OF
people who live in the small towns
and villages. Advertisers who wish
to reach this class of people should
not make the mistake of supposing that
the ground is thoroughly covered by
the big daily and weekly publications
Of the cities. While it is true that the
metropolitan dailies are being more
generally taken than formerly among
country people, tits also true that they
do not receive the careful reading that
is accorded the home paper. The latter
is In some respects like letter. 1t
gives the small and Insignificant items
of news, which are sometimes made
the subject of ridicule, but which are
just what the people want. Where the
daily will be skinned over in a half
hour and tossed aside, the local weekly
will be passed from one member of the
family to the other and be eagerly read
by each. The city daily is taken by
the storekeeper, the lawyer and the
ducbr, perhaps, but all the other peo-
pie il the place take The local paper
Printers Ink.

One Thing at q Time.

Don't put too much in one adver.
tisement. What will you do for the
next one2 One thought is generally
enough for once; next week another;
next another, and so on. But let it be
a good one, always.
Respect your reader. Appeal to his
good sense. BY doing that you show
your own good sense. Go further; do
not be dull. The readers mind is not
on your subject. Angle for him.
There are other advertisements. Few
or none will be read through. The
reader doubtless reads line and skips
to the next one. Put something in
your first line to engage him.-Chris
tian Union.

The "silent Drummer"

Did you ever think what your ad. in
the newspaper is doing for youl
When you close your store in the
evening and 60 home to your family
and fireside, not thinking about your
business at all, thenit is that the paper
is being pored over in hundreds of
homes-the homes from which your
trade is drawn. And there is your ad.
doing its work silently, but surely,
and if you have taken pains to make
it attractive its work will be all the
more effective. This is repeated over
and again, and is no doubt what in
spired some writer to call newspaper
advertising "silent drummer.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1890-06-29
Promises and FulGllmcnt.

The merchant who advertises GER
tain line OF goods as leader" should
always make good his statements at
the store. The reader.who responds to
special announcement of bargain
expects, upon reaching the store, to
see the goods of which special mention
was made. A failing on the part Of
any merchant to fully substantiate
every statement made in his add
vertisemcnt is mistake which will
surely cost him dearly. 1t pays to adj
vertise leaders which are real bar
gains, provided the advertisers claims
are fully borne out by the facts.
The merchant who advcrtises GER
tain drive" and when asked to ex-
hibit these goods to the customer de-
preciates their quality and attempts to
sell high priced article of the same
line. makes a mistake and damages his
reputation for square dealing. Lead
ers' which are not good enough to sell
to customers are not good enough to
advertise; and nothing should be adj
vertised which is not good value re-
ceived' for the price demanded.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1890-06-29
Pointers Without Charge.

The dealer who says advertising does
not pay has expected it to make for
tune for him in a few weeks.
When q newspaper once gets the
reputation of not being paying medi-
um for the advertiser its race is run.
Advertising is q gear in the ma
chine of well regulated store. 1t car
not sell the goods itself, it only deliv-
ers the customer, as it were.
More business men attribute their
success to the judicious use of printers
ink than to any other one thing. Are
you doing all you can TO secure trade'
Eternal advertising is the price of
trade. Some argue that it is expensive
to advertise. 1t is the most profitable
expense you can have if you handle it
properly.
Always move little ahead of the
trade. As one local advertiser is Wont
to say: Anticipate their wants"
Don't wait until Christmas before you
advertise holiday goods. Always get
in your announcements in season.
1t is mistake to think that any rep
utable newspaper is Indifferent as to its
advertising bringing the investor
profit This paper would not receive
cent from dissatisfied patron who
had given its columns thorough test.
Your business won't move along I'M
less you keep pushing it. One way to
push it is by advertising. Select
newspaper with large and growing
circulation, like this paper, for in
stance. Change your al. at leas t twice
a week and leave nothing to what is
called luck" and you will always be
what is called lucky"
Did you ever know that there is an
anti-advertisins society? Well, there
is. 1t is composed of doctors, and some
doctors in this city arc members of it.
too. Still you often see the names of
doctors in the newspapers, don't youl
and mostly in connection with cases OF
theirs. These members are not opposed
to having their namesin the papers in
the way of free ''puffs," but to adver-
tise, they hold, is an evidence OF weak
ness. Now, how's that2

William of Orange sayed by His Dog


On the night of the 11th and 18th OF
September, 1872, chosen band Of sou
Spaniards made an attack within the
lines of the Dutch army. The sentl-
nels were cut down, the whole army
surprised and for moment powerless.
The Prince of Orange and his guards
were in profound sleep; but small
spaniel dog, who always passed the
night upon his bed, was most faith
full sentinel. The creature snrang Tor
ward, barking at the sound Of hostile
footsteps and scratching his masters
face with his paws.
There was but just time for the
prince to mount a horse that was
ready saddled, and to effect his escape
through the darkness, before bis enc
mics sprang into his tent. His ser.
wants were cut down, his master of TIE
horse and two of his secretaries, who
gained their saddles moment Later,
all lost their lives, and but for O. little
DOGS watchfulness, William OF Or
ange. upon whose shoulders the whole
weight Of his country's fortune depend
ed. would have been led within week
to an ignominious death. The prince
ever afterward kept a spaniel in n.
bed chamber. Motley's Dutch Repub

some Business Suggestions.

Does your business pay2 Could you
not make it pay better by doing some
advertising in judicious way'
Some business men IRE always on
the lookout for a new customer and
contriving ways to please and meet
the wants of old ones. The best and
cheapest method to get new customers
is by advertising in an enterprising
newspaper.
Advertising doesn't sell any mans
goods, it only lets the people, the pur-
chasers, know where to find them.
The newspaper that is read by the
most people is the one in which to ad-
vertise.
There is great deal in writing an
attractive advertisement Do you give
your ads. your best attentions
If you expect to do large business
on the fact that you know so many
people, you will get left. The ones you
don't know are greatly in the major
ity. How are you to reach them in
the most favorable manner at the leasl
expensel Byplacing an attractive adj
vertisement in the newspaper.
Instances have been cited where
large advertisers have gone under.
This was not the fault of the advertis
ing, but of the advertiser. Aman can
lose money specializing in advertising
the same as in wheat. 1t is in dealing
with the article as staple that results
in sure returns.
The newspaper that takes advertising
to fill UP with cannot prosper. A
newspaper that has its rates too high
cannot sell its space. There is nor
NAL rate, that is, ratio which the pub
Usher can afford to accept and make q
profit, and which the advertiser can af-
ford to pay and also make a profit.
The profit must be mutual, else one or
the other will quit. We aim to have
our rates normal"

Concerning advertising Charts.

Every section of the country is sub
iect to periodical raid by the slick
gentleman with the advertising chart,
in which he will sell the advertiser a
choice position at from 50 to $40, ac-
cording to the crcdulity of the patron
and the estimated size of his pc ket-
book. OF these charts, all the way
from twenty-five to fifty, or occas sion
ally one hundred, may be scattered
about. Sometimes they are not even
scattered about, but are printed and
disposed of in bulk, where they will
never do any one any harm or good.
A case has recently come to our at
tention of one of these chart gentle
men who had an edition of two hun
dred of these cash absorbers pri nted,
and whose soicitude for the gentle
men who had patronized him VI as so
slight that he did rot even lift the
edition from the dice in which it
was printed. The oily gentleman who
manipulated the chart scheme left a
copy with each manufacturer or firm
represented thereon, collected his
money, and skipped from town be-
tween two days. 1t was afterward
learned that he had promised to issue
5000 copies and distribute the m all
over the state. Some firms paid as
high as $40 for a small space He
claimed to have melted about 1920 in
six days. Most of his victims, without
doubt, were the manufacturers who
''did not believe in newspaper hdver-
Using" He did not catch single re-
tail dealer who was posted as to adver-
tisinga and the mediums through which
it pays to operate.
The advertising chart deal is only
one of almost numbcrleSs devices re-
sorted to by plausible but INDECENT fell
lows, who find it easier to skip about
the country working up schemes of
this kind than to settle down to any le-
gitimate line of work. The merchant
or manufacturer who puts his money
into an advertising Chart could usually
save valuable time and secure the same
results by thrusting the same amount
Of hard cash into his Office stove. The
result would be precisely the same
his money would be gone without any
compensating return.

The Love of Novelty and Change.

The Love Oh Novelty anu enanSe.
The residents of old Athens gained
an enduring fame from their never
ending search for "some new thing.
In this respect Athens of old does not
seem to have differed very widely from
the average community of today.
People tire of life's dull monotony,
and the fellow who comes along and
gives them something to talk and
think about is hailed with delight,
even though he may sometimes be-
laughed at.
If you can both interest and amuse
people, you can make money out Of
them. This is calculating way Of
putting the case but its a fact.
If you're merchant, make your adj
vertisement different, III some respect,
from that of any other merchant who
uses the same medium. And change
your advertisement frequently-the
oftener the better. The merchant who
never allows the same adj. to appear
twice in succession will find that the
labor of getting up new copy" is
splendidly rewarded by the results.
Throw variety into your stock, too.
Don't buy certain line of goods this
year just because you did last. Per-
haps you can do better this year. Shift
your stock about. Bright colors, new
goods and a new ad. every day or week
will make things go.
Let the other fellow get into the rut
you keep out!
