Good Advertising.

a successful eastern advertiser whose
bright display work is one of the features
of the leading newspapers of the country,
was lately asked 10 give his opinion as TO
what constitutes good advertising. He
said: There is just as much science In
advertising little things as In advertising
what are thought the more important
Ingenuity Is subjected 10 heavier tax,
and the triumph ~ greater when all Is
over. Let the fact of q new and fresh
article be put before the public in a

when popular attention is becoming en-
gagged. keep the fire blowing and the iron

of this kind. that familiarity Will breed
contempt on the contrary Ii Is the one
and only guarantee Of the widest popular
ity, and when success begins to dawn on
effort and expenditure then crowd on
The steam with an increased pressure.
TO relax effort at this stage is practical
iy TO abandon the originai purpose at
the critical moment. This 10 the time of
all others to lay on the lash and quicken

the advertiser beyond his expectations
to realize how suddenly success has con-
verted what is a trfe in itself into an
affair OF the greatest magnitude and i'm

vertisinS does for a small as well as for
a large thing. This is the magic of it.
