1t Must be Conviction.

Attraction is one thing and con-
viction another" says well know
advertising expert. 'Some men
believe that the acme of advertis-
ing is to attract the eye OF a would
be purchaser, ignoring altogether
that it is practically impossible to
makes purchaser without carry
ing conviction home. An adver-
tised article has more reason to
have it's character protected than
one that is not advertised. 1t is
subjected to more criticism because
as a rule, all people like to know
the character before or on making
an acquaintance. The Duke of
Wellington said: "A good charac-
ter goes great way, but bad
character goes a great deal fur
ther.' 1t would be we'll in consid-

Newspapers VS.. Giro ulars.

From the National Advertiser.
The aim of every business man
should be to use every opportunity
of reaching every possible custo-
mer. Newspaper advertising is
the instrument most likely to &C.
complish this end. Other means
have been tried and have failed.
For a time, circulars were consider
ed to be as good means Of accom-
phlishing success as could be de-
vised but those have been over
done and are not now read. Circu-
lars almost invariably find their
way, often withunbroken wrapper
into tho waste basket or the fire.
The newspaper is by far the better
means of reaching the bulk of the
people. This result has been the
outcome of many experiments in
various kinds of advertising.
