An advertisement writer ought to keep
karee rules tackled up in front Of him all
the time:
Be truthful.
Be brief
Be explicit.
The public has no patience with mis-
statements, nor the house that makes
them. Don't say anything in the papers
that will cast shadow of distrust over
the store. Better say nothing than
something you cannot substantiate. 81
lence needs no apology A false state
ment is boomerang-hits back-and
hits hard.
Don't deviate from the straight and
narrow path. 1t is hard sometimes not
to let down the bars of truth when an
other fellow is piling up the adjectives
But if he hasn't an honest foundation,
over they'll topple and bury him.
Don't string out what you've got to
say. If it is to men you are talking,
they're too busy to bother with seeking
for the pith. Serve them up some En-
glish forcibles in as few words as posi-
ble-iust an ''eye full" With ladies it's
not different. They've got the time, but
tho less you say the more likely they are
to remember it. So brevity Is the best
rule to follow, after truthfulness. Make
short cuts to the facts.
For goodness sake make yourself plain.
Don't have to send a key Of explanation
along Tell the whole story. Antici-
pate all questions. Ialways endeavor to
work in price. It's a strong argument.
Means business, and people like to have
the knowledge of costs within reach
when they are wading through the de-
scriptions Have point to make and
see that you make it. Shoot at ii mark.
Don't sllinlp on space and don't waste
it.
Don't dress up your advertisements to
look like a specimen card OF the type
faces in the al alley. Seek for harmony
of effect Discords disgust.
Don't write to please yourself. Write
for the publics editication. Write En-
glish-plain, every day, old fashioned,
simon pure Anglo Saxon.
Don't chant tiirye but don't try to
be funny. Be sensible and businesslike,
and you'll be read.
These are the teachings of experience.
But 800 words won't tell it all, for Time
has only written the first chapter in the
modern art of business publicity.
Advertising is like electricity-a pow
erful agent when kept under control
but holy terror when let loose. Keep
it in haud.-Ct. A. Lewis.

Wouldn't Trade with Dead Ven.

\ printer recently walked into Il GER
tain bu@inessLouaei in his rounds to know
who desired anything in the way of adj
vertisements and noticed a drummer
stood by the counter with his sample
valise ready to open. "Anything you
want to say in the paper this week. said
the printer to the business man behind
the counter. NO said the business
man, Il don't believe in advertising. y
The drummer waited until he was half
way to the door. then slowly taking up
his sample vail e, remarked: We'll, that
lets Inc ont. | do not care to sell on
time to any man who, at this age, does
not believe IN advertising. | prefer to
deal with live men. When | want to
strike up IL trade with dead man III go
to the graveyard and swap business.
Good day. -EXchanse.

Successful Advertising.

The important effect of advertising is
one of direct nature. 1t conveys the
impression that the party is anxious for
business. One who is anxious for bust
ness is unavoidably supposed to be an
industrious, attentive, civil person who
keeps the best articles at the cheapest
rate, does everything in the 4eatest and
most tradesmanhke manner, and in gen
eral uses every expedient to crafty and
attach customers. People like to pur-
chase under those circumstances, and
the system of advertising assuring them
that such circumstances exist at this
particular shop, they select it accord
hgly.
