AS TO ADVERTISING.

Samuel Hopkins Adams in Scrb-
ner's: Aside from departures in policy
and innovations on a large scale, the
originality of the department store is
largely supplied by Two departments,
to some extent correlated, THESE are
the advertising department and the
window dressing department. One is
the literature of the great store, the
other its art. The shop windows are
a great stimulus for the department
whose goods are displayed in them. A
good showing will often wonderfully
increase the sale of the stock as well
as attract customers to the store who
are new to it, Frequently the head ad-
vertising man is the general manager
of the store. Whether this is the case
or not he is a general supervisor Of
the establishment, with a complete
knowledge of its ever changing detail
Every day he holds consultations with
heads of departments to find out what
doomed, and about those articles he
writes alluring statements for the shop
ping public to read sometimes arrang
ing for illustrations with them.
The amount of money spent for ad-
vertising is appalling when looked
upon as an expense. One great store
in Philadelphia spends on an average
81 900 every day in the year, and good
many spend $500 day. The advertis-
ing receives probably more of the per-
sonal attention of the head of the
house than any other department. The
head of the firm which expends the
q eat sum just mentioned personally
suggests and frequently writes the
leading lines in the daily announce
ment. The proprietor of a great store
in Brooklyn does this invariably and
thinks the time we'll spent which the
work daily requires. The mail de-
partment tends to enlarge this expendi-
ture as the store reaches out to the
utmost parts Of the country. and the
future will no doubt see an even great
er development in the effort TO acure
mail customers in the small towns and
in country places.
