Elements of an Effective Ad.

In writing advertisements for patrons,
it is we'll to bear in mind that a sue
cessful advertisement must conform to
two important requirements. First,
it must attract the eye this includes
questions of size, location, display,
etc.; and, second, it must make its
point with the reader before he leaves
1t, for an advertisement, however con-
spicuous, which the reader tires of be-
fore he has received the impression it
was intended to convey, is a failure.
This last requirement must be realized,
either by making the words so few that
the eye is able to take them in at a
single glance, or SO interesting that the
reader will wish to read them through.
Here again the necessity for being we'll
grounded in the science of advertising
is apparent; the reader and the ad-
vertisement's effect upon him must be
kept constantly in view.
The intricate, ingenious, "smart' ad-
vertlsements are much less apt to bring
returns than plain, well-worded
statement of facts.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-10-01
Condition of Trade.

A very moderate and yet distinct i'm
provement is seen, no longer only in
the buying of materials, which con-
tinues and stiffens prices, but also IN
orders for products of some industries
in money markets, and in exports OF
staples. 1t is as yet little more than a
step toward better things, but has al
ready started some important works,
and prompted a few considerable con-
tracts. Continuing arrivals of gold,
about $31 ,9O1 $50 since the movement
began, have raised the Treasury re-
serve above $125, 900, strengthened
the banks, and relaxed the stringency
in commercial loans, so that at about l
per cent. lower rates more business was
done than three previous weeks
Hoarding is no longer reported, but
some boards are being unlocked. The
movement of crops continues large, and
purchases for export have advanced
prices or prevented depression. While
the gain in working force is not great, it
seems clear that for the first time in
many months there is some net gain.
Increasing confidence in the political
future, in the judgment Of most bust
ness men, has some influence.

TERSELY TOLD.
(By E. r. Petherick.)

The man who cannot keep up with

Life would be shorn of much of its
unpleasantness if each individual did
not think that his or her desires were
OF paramount importance.
No brain is bright enough to long il
Illuminate dark stomach
The trouble with holidays is that they
teach us the comfort of rest without
furnishing the time.
Even if swearing off, is followed by
relapse, it is better than chain of
habit with unbroken links.
1t takes really tough man to fully
ADMIRE the innocence of child.
The value of mans possessions is in
a great measure regulated by the use
he makes of them.
Many man lives until he looks on
his crimes as mere follies.
1t is not human nature to waste much
that is valuable in making frills.
What is more ridiculous than lot of
people meeting in a social way to ex-
change grievances?
Women are generally willing to admit
mans superiority when they want
something lifted.
1t is something to live so that D eopIe

Many a man has lost his friends by
Introducing them to each other.
People who make false pretenses are
always the first to complain about curl

Those who can live without work

they are paid for knowing.
Popularity is one of the most vague

QuarleS and Tlinor.

Mr.. J. Y. Quarles, one Of the leading
lawyers of Milwaukee, and Congress
man E. s. Minor, of Sturgeon Bay, this
district, addressed an audience of 1000
people in the opera house in this CITY
Tuesday evening. The weather on this
day was cold and rainy, but in spite of
1t, the people crowded the opera house.
Mr.. Minor was the first speaker and
entertained his audience for one hour
giving some of his experiences while in
Washington and his understanding of
the free coinage of silver. Mr.. Minor
made very favorable impression upon
his audience and his whole argument
indicated a familiarity with the subject
IN hand. His address throughout was
forcible and convincing.
Mr.. Quarles, who is known through
out the state as an eloquent and
polished speaker did not disappoint his
large audience upon this occasion. He
confined his remarks to the "free coin
age of silver" and made his argument
so clear and convincing by suitable
illustrations that laboring men and
farmers grasped the situation and
carried home with them something to
mediate upon and think of. He won
his hearers on his opening remarks and
retained them with him to the end.
Great good will result from his address
in settling the silverquestion with those
who were still in doubt. Some of
Bryan's most ardent admirers here ad-
NIT that his address was fair and con-
vincing. What more could anyone do?
The opening meeting Of the campaign
is accredited great success.

Republican County Convention.

Those who were present at the Re-
publican County convention which con-
vened at the court house in this CITY
Tuesday afternoon were impressed with
the interest that was manifested in the
nomination of county officers The
court house was filled with delegates
and friends who were anxious to know
the outcome on nominations for sheriff
and clerk, as it was conceded, that all
the present officers would receive re-
nominations.
The result on sheriff was a surprise to
Mr.. JOhnsOn's friends as they looked
for stronger support than what he re-
ceived. 1t was generally believed that
Mr.. Smith would be nominated, finally,
but onlv after contest of several bal
lots. His nomination on the first ballot
was therefore a surprise even to his
friends.
The result on clerk was expected as
Mr.. Jacob Searles was not a candidate
in the sense of trying to defeat Mr. E.
S. Renne for he knew that it was so
planned and intended. The nomination
Of all the other old officers was a fitting
compliment to a corps of the best county

The ticket nominated on this occasion
will be the successful one in this cam
paign. Every man on the ticket is well
qualified for the office he seeks and will
be elected, We believe, with majorities
equal to those of two years ago. A
write-up of each candidate will appear
in our next issue.
