might not do at all for another, even
though in the same line OF business,

A little study will enable you to
evolve many other attractive ways of
setting up your ads. in The Astorian
type. There is hardly any limit to the
possible. Large type eats
space, but you are not obliged to use it
In order to make snowy ad. in The
Astorian Still we would advise you, If
using the plain type, to have your ad.
on those pages of The Astorian where
all advers. are so set up, as then your
small ad. has an equal chance of being
seen. A plain ad. might be lost to
view entirely when printed alongside Of
fancy type neighbors. There the con-
trast is against you, but on the page
with other ads. printed in the same
type as yours the advantage of the
most attractive setting is yours If you
but choose to have it so.
The advertiser who has his eyes and
wits about him has his finger on the
public pulse and knows its beat. In
cases of emergency his art and wit
may do wonders. Observe the unique
use which Yankee advertiser makes
of the classics, This man had dog col
lars. name-plates and rubber stamps to
SELL 1t was a most unpromising theme
for what can one say Of dog collars?
