In nearly all regulated lines of indus
try at present the advertising man is one
of the most important adjuncts of
business. And on the the other hand
the advertising department of first
class newspaper is not what it used to
be, but is instead fast becoming an in
teresting feature Of all enterprising jour-
nails. Formerly tho 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
perusal of the lads" of any hourishing
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 at 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
fcations with the talent that wins sue
cess in the editorial chair. Yenowine's

1t Pays, That's Why.

The advertiser in a small way often
stands aghast at the large sums of money
which certain masters of the art are
known TO spend annually in bringing
their goods before the public. Having
had experience only within his own mar
row circle he asks in bewildered way
how it is possible that they can make it
pay. He takes pencil and paper and be-
gins to figure it out. Surprising their
profits on single sale to be SO much, he
determines how many sales they would
have to make to cover their entire adver-
Using expenditure. About the time he
reaches this result he gives up in despair
and falls back upon the old but safe con-
clusion that these princes of advertising
are conducting their business for the
purpose Of making money, and that if
they did not find their advertising paid
they would not continue it.-Exchange

Earnestness.

The following extract from one of the
best stories ever written contains a
valuable suggestion for everybody, and
especially is it golden advice to every
advertiser. Be earnest. Have faith in
your work. Attend to it. Be honest:
have been very fortunate in worldly
matters; many men have worked much
harder and not succeeded half so well,
but never could have done what have
done without the habits of punctuality,
order and diligence, without the deter
mination to concentrate myself on one
object at time, no matter how quickly
its successor should come upon its heels,
which then formed. Whatever have
tried to do in life / have tried with all
my heart to do well; whatever have
devoted myself to have devoted myself
TO completely. In great aims and in
small have always been thoroughly in
earnest. There is no substitute for thor
oughgoing, ardent and sincere earnest
ness. Never to put one hand to anything
on which / conld throw my whole self,
and never to affect depreciation of my
work, whatever it was, find now to
have been my golden rules. David Cop
perfield.

A Common Sense Opinion.

The newspaper without any advertise
ments, which Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
wants to see, might suit the tastes of
some people, but it would be without a
very interesting feature. The idea that
the advertisements in newspaper only
please the counting room unfortunately
obtains in some quarters, but to the
great mass of the people they are not
only interesting but useful and in
structive reading. They are the shop
pers' constant companion, the business
mans guide and everybody's instructor.
A newspaper without advertising col
umns would fail to accomplish its mis-
sion. Besides, it would be about as poor
as Jobs turkey.-Boston Herald.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1891-02-18
No Medium Like the Newspaper.


The advertising man of well known
New York clothing house says: 1--WE
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 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 up 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
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.

Advertising Necessary to Success.

The merchant or manufacturer who
does not advertise his goods cannot sue
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 So, 900 to SIC, 900 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 merchants.-Cl Cleveland

and style in Advertising.

TimeIiness and Style in Advertising.
The trite comment upon success Of
any sort that "there is everything in
knowing how" is particularly applicable
to the business of advertising. Mer-
chants generally advertise their business,
but not many of them regard advertis-
ing as part of their business; that is,
they do not put business methods and
business brightness into their adyertis-
ing. Judicious advertising pays every
time, and he who knows how to adver-
tise judiciously is a better equipped bust
ness man than is his merchant neighbor
who does not know when and how to
advertise.
A striking advertisement will run the
gamut of popular attention and get into
the air like a popular song. Advertise
ments have become rs familiar as house
hold words, and remained advertise
ments long after they had disappeared
from newspaper columns and from adj
vertising billboards. Who will ever
forget the mystic rs. T. 1860 X?" 1t can
no longer be seen in print, nor upon bill
boards, but the name of the compound
it advertised comes to mind with the
legend, and the advertisement is as
bright as it was twenty-five years ago.
"You press the button; we do the
rest!" 1t is hardly necessary to state
what these words advertise. They have
been SO widely read and are so taking
and SO suggestive of ability that every
body knows what they refer to. To show
to what extent an advertisement with
brightness in it gets into the public
mind, the fact may be cited in relation
to the advertisement under comment
that no less parsonage than Chauncey
NJ. Depew, in speech before the mer-
chants of New York at their annual din
ner, closed an interesting statement of
the advantages of reciprocity with the
remark, GAS merchants, as bankers and
business men, we say to congress in the
language which advertises that most
universal and productive of our institu-
tons, the Kodak, You press the button;
we will do the rest.'n
If merchants and manufacturers want
to win advertising of this happy kind, all
they have to do is to advertise in the
right way and put happy thoughts into
their advertisements milwaukee, Wis

Tho Tnla of Rlneheard.

The tale of Bluebeard is familiar to
every child. but many have speculated
onsthe original of this DOGGY, Inerciless
tyrant. Some saysit was a satire on
Henry VIII, of wife killing notoriety.
Dr. G. Taylor thinks tits a type of the
castle lords in thedays'of knight Grant
ny. According, however, to q popular
belief, Charles Perrault, the French
author Of this fascinating story, founded
it on the history OF certain Giles de
Retz, lord Of Lsral, who during his
lifetime was known by the name oil
'sBarbe Bleu," OF "Bluebesrd," ON &C

No one takes up regular publication
without the expectation of finding some
thing of interest. The simple act Of
turning the pages is as positive an ex-
ample of expectation as is tho opening
of closet if one is in search of o coat.
Hence an announcement in regular
publication has an advantage over any
other form CT business solicitation-that

Fulhn Every Promise.

The merchant who desires the conf
dence and custom of intelligent people
should never make a promise that he
does not fulfill, or hold out, either by
express statement or inference, any in
ducements that are not fully substan-
tiated by the facts. There is no endur-
ing success where confidence is lacking
ON the part of customers. Any success
not founded ON square and liberal deal
ing is sure to be short lived.

Never Be Commonplace.

and one which attracts attention. The
man who succeeds in advertising in such
a way that people read his advertise
ment is the one who draws trade to his
store as sure as magnet draws needle
to itself. Study up quaint, pithy or
witty phrases to head your advertise
ments, and be not too modest in the
space they occupy.-Brockton Shoe.
