The merchant or manufacturer who
does not advertise his goods cannot suc-
coed. Of late newspaper advertising has
become distinct trade in itself, and all
over the country leading concerns pay
fabulous prices for men who are skillful
in writing catchy advertisements. In
many large cities there are men earning
from 5000 to O,OO0 year to write ad-
vertisements This fact in itself shows
advertising pays.
If people interested in this subject
will investigate it for themselves they
will find that the leading advertisers in
The Plain Dealer are the merchants who
have the best stores, the best assort-
ments of goods and who sell at the most
reasonable prices Such merchants do a
much larger business than merchants
who do not advertise: consequently they
turn their goods over more quickly and
can afford to give better prices. Close
buyers appreciate this. What is the
moral? He who advertises the most
judiciously succeeds the best, and the
buyers who seek the best bargains
patronize such Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

A Place for Talent.

In nearly all regulated lines of indus
try at present the advertising man is one
of the most important adjuncts of a
business. And on the the other hand
the advertising department of a first
class newspaper is not what it used to
be, but is instead fast becoming an in
teresting feature of all enterprising jour
mails. Formerly the prevailing idea
among the uninitiated was that the
talented, the best, most versatile and
most ingenious writers and artists were
all employed in the news department.
How nearly correct this idea may have
been need not be stated, but that such is
not the case now may be seen by a
pernsal of the lads" of any fourishing
paper The competitions between the
merchants and between the papers
agents have become so great that the
great wholesale and retail houses of the
large cities employ talented men ut big
salaries to attend to their advertising
alone, and the men who want the best
positions in the counting rooms of news
papers must combine fine business quail
tications with the talent that wins suc-
cess in the editorial chair. Yenowine's

The advertising man of well known
New York clothing house says: I'VE
were the first to use the sails of YES
sells as an advertising medium. Then
we got up the alphabet puzzle and
gave away 100000 puzzles while the
craze lasted. Afterward we invented
the Waterbury watch idea. We had to
do something. because three of our prin-
cipal competitors had failed, and their
stocks were being sold for next to
nothing by assignees; SO we decided to
give a Waterbury watch with every
twelve dollars worth of goods pur-
chased. We advertised the watches
wound and set To wind them fast
enough we had to rig upa little machine
worked like a sewing machine that
would do the winding, and we kept
several boys at work winding and setting
them. Before we quit we had given
away 10000 of the watches.
But nothing ever pays US like the or
binary newspaper advertising. The fact
is there has come to be in this city a
class of advertisement readers Just as
there is of news readers. They read the
advertisements every day, and of course
the man who wants to attract them has
to get up an advertisement that will do
it. The day of standing advertisements
in the paper, Go to So-and-So's for cloth
ing or Go to This-and- That's for Shoes
has passed, just as the day for painting
signs on rocks and fences or on the sails
of boats has passed. You must have
something interesting and fresh in every
advertisement, and it will be read.

and one which attracts attention. The
man who succeeds in advertising in such
way that people read his advertise

l do not think it is very serviceable to
make a list of books for children to read.
No two have exactly the same aptitudes,
tastes or kinds of curiosity about the
