WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD Be
ITS USE AND ABUSE.

AS this is intended for the pros
oective purchaser, not for the in
struction of the advertiser, we
shall limit our remarks to a few
questions and answers suitable to
our purpose.
That judicious advertising pays
is fact no longer doubted by the
wide-awake merchant. But what
is judicious advertising?
An advertisement that is not a
statement Of plain facts that
lacks the impress Of unvarnished
truth-that borders on the realm
of fiction-such an advertisement
is not only soon detected but as
certainly avoided--no matter how
adroitly the advertiser seeks the
ear of the public.
To gain the confidence of the
public, simply to advertise will
not suffice; the merchant must
keep faith with his customers; he
must do what he advertises, and
have what he advertises. Such
advertisements are sought out by
the reader in the hope that it may
contain an announcement of a
special bargain offered, or to as
certain the price of something he
contemplates purchasing:
We do not pay out our money
for printers ink because it is a
custom-we calculate its effect,
and estimate the outlay to pro-
portionate gain.
