A WORD TO THE LADIES ON
ADVER Using.

For quite awhile we have been talk
ing in a general way to all our readers
ABOUT advertising. We want now to
speak more specifically to only one
class Of readers-the women. 1t is
the women of the house who buys the
larder supplies, the little household
needs, the dress goods, the ~children's
clothes, hats, shoes, etc. In fact the
wife and mother does ali the shopping
for the home. This being true, it
naturally follows that Of necessity she
must know what to buy, when to buy
it and how much to pay for it, if she
would be economical and at the same
time get the best articl9 on the market.
We believe that a careful reading and
studying of advertisements will give
her this information. Awoman writer
ia Womankind, in a recent issue, says
on this subject:
II study advertisements, and I know
where and when and how to purchase
the household supplies. Ny husband
used to laugh at me for reading adver
tigements so carefully, but he has long
| since learned that I save many dollars
! every month. know of no better
way to practice economy. 1t is a won
der how o you learn to detect the
real from the alse-intuitiv0ly almost.
| | think 1 have never been taken in"
| by an advertisement. There is always
something about the false mes that re
pels me. To the economical house
keeper the advertisements are the most
important part of any publication"
SO much for reading advertisements.
We think that the women should learn
the value of advertising the articles
they have for sale. I have a letter
lying before me now, from which I take
this extract:
My wife is raising fine poultry,
| and wishes TO place a small ADVERTISE
ment in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
I suppose about an lnch three or four
| insertions. Please let me know what
the cost will be for such an advertise
ment."
The letter from which the above was
copied was written by n Of North
Cardinals leading business men.
We are glad to see that u women,
as we'll as men, are learning something
of the great advantage advertising ls
to the person who wishes to sell or BUY.
The woman with butter, eggs, chick
ems. knit mittens, sox, fancy work of
all kinds, painting, drawing etc, to
dispose of should not hesitate to adver-
tise in some good medium.
The woman wanting to do house
hold work, to teach school, clerk, or
do any kind of work should advertise
for a position.
Let our lady readers study the sub
iect of advertising.
