A Railroad Conductor with Artificial Lem.

IL certainly seems as though no amount OF
human mutilation can battle the genius Of our
American artificial limb makers. No matter
how man is physically wrecked. injured. or
dlsmembered, our human repair shops can put
him In shape TO make his life worth the living.

ABOUT NEWSPAPER ADVER-
TISING.

An advertisement is simple an
Heuncement Of something to sell.
coupled with more or less of an ap-
peal to somebody to buy it.
An advertisement will not gener-
ally sell goods directly; it rateer
assists the salesman to make the
sale.
An advertisement is an accomplice
before the fact.
The man who expects his good ad .
vertlsements to sell his goods with.
out statesmen, or agents, is az foolish
rs the man vino expects the sales
men to make sales without the prel-
iMinary skirnish which adverti ainy
always does.
The advertising and tue salesman
together fight the battle If trade.
Advertising generally pays soma,
thing. even when seldom and poorly
lone. Give it half chance and it
will bring in results. 1t is often s
question Of making it pay hetter.
The one great criticism in adver-
tlsing is too little space and too much
matter.
Manv a man attempts to tel! the
story of his trade within the measure
"f an inch. He can't do it.
One sentences CT crisp printed
words is far more effective than
conglemeration Of catslogued prose.
Tell the story briefly it 1t be 8
loug story. taken a long time in tell
ing it, and tell it in short chapters.
Let your space be as big a. your
business.
No more think of crowding Your
advertising into crowded space than
Of crow'ling sslesroom space. Gus
toners are msch more importan: than |
spacious warerooms. Better have
both.
The successful advertiser invaria
'ly haa plenty OF space, and uses few
words in it; and, what is more, he
lever cuts kis advertising daring tue
alleged dull times. He knows what
le is about. Experience has Taught
lim that the time to advertise is ali
he time, and that clear statement
# a few words, fresh always, and
Ionsst, will do the business.
1t is all we'll enough to use small
pace, If you can hire folks at
easonabie price to look at it.
