sENsIBLE-Nor SENSATIONAL.
You Fad Better Read This if You Want to
Succeed

Many persons, especially some of
| the local advertisers of this city,
seem to think that the Great Adam
Forepaugh Shows waste an immense
amount of money in advertising, and
think that shows so well established
and so extremely popular with the
public, need only to announce their
| coming to insure them all the bust
ness they are capable of taking care
of. But Manager McCaddon. who
conducts this vast amusement enter
| prise, is a man of keen business
Judgment, and the fact that he does
| so much advertising is the best ar
| gument that he believes that it pays.
But in addition to his judgment he
has in his employ several of the
most expert advertisers in the coun-
| try, and what is done is likewise a
reflection of their Judgment. for
| their chief is not above accepting
and acting upon a suggestion from
them. One of these experts, who
was in this Office this week, said
| upon this subject: There can be
no argument upon such a subject
so powerful as the history of all great
| business enterprises. Without an
| exception everyone of them have
made their success through and di-
rectly through their advertising.
There can scarcely be such thing
as too much advertising-if the adj
vertiser is not fit inmate of an asy-
| lum for the insane. There can be too
little, and you have only to look up
and down any of your business
streets to see who are the business
men of your town who do too little
advertising. They are not your sue
cessful business men, sure. Adver-
Using is not condition, it is prin-
| ciple. 1t must be done in all kinds
| OF business, and ours is not the only
one which has to depend upon it. If
we do more advertising than any
body else, and as a matter of fact we
do,it is because we want to do bigger
business than anybody else and we
do that also. Perhaps we might do
it if we did not advertise so much,
but we are not willing to make so
doubtful an experiment. We know
it is the newspaper that is constant
advertiser of the community in which
it is published, and all share alike
| from the certain benefits to commu-
nifty accruing. 1t is matter of just
as much concern to us, therefore, to
see the newspapers succeed as it is to
anybody else who benefits from the
general prosperity of the community
which the newspapers bring about.
We hope to get our share OF it and
feel that the money we spend upon
the newspapers is well spent even if
they should fail to bring to us but
few people, who would come to us if
we did or did not advertise. OF
course, that is very broad-gauged
idea of things, but then we are a
broad-gauged concern, and have to
look farther ahead than those whose
business is confined to very narrow
limits"
| Is not this opinion worthy of con-
sideration by the business element of
the city?

Brains originate, apes initiate.

Brains originate, apes initiate.
In every department of human in
dustrv; in every social circle and
business community; in every trade
and every profession there are lead
ers and there are followers.
DIR. Stackhouse and the physicians
associated with him have been for
many wears the acknowledged lead
ers and greatest authorities in the
special lines of practice which they
have adopted and to which they de-
vote themselves entirely and abso-
lutelv.
Their success has had no parallel
in the history of modern medicine.
The published evidence of this sue
cess as presented to the people in the
columns Of the principal dailies has
had no precedent in modern newspa-
per advertising.
The published announcements of
the Stackhouse physicians have al
ways been made in direct, straight
forward and simple style that no
reader could by any possibility mis-
understand. BY placing before the
public in the columns of our home
newspapers the exact result of the
treatment from week to week in the
cases OF well known citizens, DR..
StackhOuse has won the full conf
dence of the whole people in this
community.
In almost every city may be found
small-frv specialists, of whom the
world never heard until they dis
PLAYED their names in the public
prints at so much per line. Unable
to initiate the superior treatment of
the trained specialists, they endeavor
by copying as closely as possible the
advertising of their acknowledged
superiorS, to lure some of the afflict-
ed to their offices. We have record
of nearly one hundred of these self
made specialists" who use brazen
effrontery and assurance as substi-
tutes for the qualifications of physi-
elan, and mimicry as miserable
make-shift for originality.
They are to be found in Davenport
but this is Davenport's misfortune,
not her fault. They came without
invitation and remain against the
protest of intelligent, law-abiding
citizens. EnviOus of the unbroken
line of successes made by DR.. Stack
house, they never cease to make
faces at him and his medical associ-
ates. Boosting of intimate connec-
ton with great medical institutes in
large cities, they never name one of
them. May be that modesty forbids.
Abiding frequently and vaguely to
very great medical attainments and
a vast field of experience, they sing
ularlv refrain from publishing Gre
dentials. and it is difficult to trace
them further than an obscure coun-
try Village in Jackson county, Ia.
But the crumbs that fall from the
table of the skilled specialists seem
to satisfy the practical, pretending,
plagarizing advertising doctors, and
we presume that like the poor, they
will be with us always.
In March of this year, DR.. Stack
house first announced Il guarantee
test in Nashville. Tenn, where one
OF the southern offices of his insti-
tute is located. The guarantee was
announced in the papers of Daven-
port, Rock Island. and Moline during
the whole month OF June. The success
of this test is now talked of in one
half the homes of Davenport, Ia.
