SHORT TALK ON ADVERTISING

Charles Austin Bates.
There is theory that advertising
pays. There are facts which prove
the theory true.
All men who advertise are not
successful, but with rare exceptions,
all successful men have been adver-
tisers.
Advertising is the greatest of all
modern engines for facilitating
business. Beside it the telegraph,
the telephone, the locomotive and
steamboat are dwarfed. If it were
not for advertising, these would not
be used. Business would not be OF
sufficient volume to justify their
employment.
The man in Chicago advertises and
the man in st. Paul buys by tele-
graph perhaps and has his purchase
delivered by the locomotive. But
the advertisement come first. 1,
always does.
1t conveys information and an in
vitation to buy at the same time.
An advertisement in paper like
ours places this information before
thousands of buyers, either present
or prospective. Count the cost of a
suitable advertisement against the
possible number of those who will
need some special thing on any day
The chances will always be found or
the side of the probability of the
advertisement.
Nine times in ten a good ad will
bring more than enough in direc
profit to pay for itself, leaving it,
great culminative value clear gain
Half the time good ad will pay al
actual direct profit but to do this, /
must be carefully tended. Treat th'
newspaper fairly and 1t will pa.
every time.
