'Twenty-six, each for a different
ailment, but we are broadgauge enough
in our methods to frequently recon-
mend to our patients things we don't
make or sell ourselves. We believe in
telling the truth to patients, wheth-
er 1t is cent in our pockets or a dol
lar out. Truth pays in the end. It
always did and always will The ad-
vertiser who has not yet recognized
this fact is sure loser in the long
run
While we are congratulating our
selves it must not be forgotten that
much of our success should be direct
ly attributed to the bold and aggres-
sive advertising that has been done.
The good results thus derived must be
continued, and my own impression Is
that If we increase our advertising ap-
preparations, the business is logically
bound to increase also.
My chief motive for thus forecasting
the future, as it were, is that the drug
glsts may feel an implicit confidence
when handling our preparations that
their sales are going to be vigorously
helped by our advertising. There have
Deen many cases on record where, af-
ter proprietary article had been put
upon the market, and some spasmodic
advertising done, the latter was sud-
denly stopped without warning, and
the druggists naturally found large
quantities of the goods on their hands
which they were unable to sell, owing
to the demand for them having ceased.
For Of course all business men know
that inasmuch as it is the advertising
that creates the demand a stoppage
will cause it to cease.
"Can any agent sell your prepara-
tions that wish top
"Oh yes; we have a number that
sell large quantities, but we want more
still all over the county and will pay
them we'll"
This concluded the interview, ex-
cept that in answer to final question
the doctor assured me that they never
did any "outside'' advertising at all.
combining themselves strictly to such
mediums as went into the homes.
For" said he, "sick people-those who
need our aid the most-usually remain
at home and don't go out of doors look
ing for remedies advertised in street
cars and on fences and bulletin boards
Still all advertising we consider good
some much better

DIR. E. PARKER READ, President
Of the East Indian Remedy Company,

tions sold principally by agents

tising director Of the above named
company, gives his method Of success
full advertising for the benefit of the
"Tribune's" readers:
The large double-column display ads
Of Or. Read" which have appeared
in most Of the dailies, weeklies and
monthlies during the past three years
have occasioned considerable talk
among advertising men, and also
among the general public. Because
OF this l recently called at the office
OF the concern in order to obtain some
information concerning the advertis-
ing Of the business, believing that an
interesting story could be secured. I
was not disappointed in this respect,
out IN addition, I had my eyes opened
TO the extensive character af the busi-
ness being transacted in the immense
hVe-story building that runs clear
through from South to Rodman SITS.
remembering the old single room at
VIZ Lombard street, which was up to a
little more than four years ago the
headquarters Of the business, I could
not help associating the recent Wig
orous advertising with the remarka-
ole change for the better.
ASKED about the length Of time the
Read remedies had been before the
puDnc, DIR. Read replied:
Nine years."
Have they been advertised all the
time?"
Yes, some Of them, but not in such
torcible way as during the past three
years."
Who directs your advertising?"
Did you suggest the change Of three
Years ago?"
Yes. On my advice we stopped try
ing to crowd all we had to say into an
inch or two Of newspaper space, and
oegan to use large advertisements"
Did you also increase the number Of
mediums?,
Considerably. I should say that we
are now in about 900 different me-
diums."
Has the new departure paid the
concern?"
You can judge for yourself. Our
sales s in 1899 amounted to about
$4,000.
That is pretty big jump, but do
you attribute it solely to your adver-
OF course we do. Nothing else could
nave done it."
What kind Of an ad pulls the best,
III Your opinion, doctor?"
The Illustrated ad, in a big space,
win plain, honest talk is convincing"
Why do you think illustrations are
valuable in advertisements"
An illustration makes the space it
occupies more valuable than it would
The colored American., 1900-11-10

be If otherwise filled. Verbal captions
may attract attention. illustrations
compel it. You can't dodge a picture
or not"
''Do you find weeklies or dailies best
for your purpose?"
They're both good in their way.
For pro rata cost, am not prepared to
say which have proven best"
''But then you must understand that
all our advertising pays. We make it
pay. We have excellent remedies that
honestly do all that we claim for
them. We believe in honest reading
advertisements, and we pay the best
prices for them. OUR ADVERTIS-
ING ARE THE BEST MEDIUMS,
AND THERE YOU HAVE THE Sc
CRETS OF OUR SUCCESS"
"Do you use testimonials-do you
believe in them? I mean. do you be-
lieye they have an advertising value?"
1--WE use testimonials largely, and
we are great believers in their efficacy
to spread the truth. Authentic testi-
monials, giving names and addresses,
have great local influence where the
writer of the testimonial resides. We
have thousands of testimonials from
all over the country. We have used
vast quantities Of these and are still
using them, consequently their influ-
ence is widespread"
"Outside the sale of the advertised
remedies, do you give advice by corre-
Spondence?"
For answer Dr. Read opened q pom
derous drawer and told me to run my
eye over the cases. Only one case ap-
peared on each page, but every detail
Of age, sex, occupation, symptoms, etc.,
was given, together with the name and
address, and across the page was writ
ten the diagnosis.
"You have made quite a feature Of
giving away free samples of your medi.
cine, doctor. Was this plan dictated
by philanthropy or business?"
Both. Advertising to give goods
away is a double expense. We have
to pay for the privilege Of finding re-
cipients. It means a big preliminary
loss, as you can imagine, when I tell
you that we sometimes send out 500
free samples in a single day. But the
fact that we do give away these trial
packages proves that we have perfect
confidence in the merits of our reme-
dies. Confidence begets confidence, you
know, and the public has not been
slow to respond. There are a good
many concerns doing it, and this fact
alone is proof Of our success. Sem
sible people seldom try to follow in the
footsteps of failures"
''But the philanthropic part"
1--WE want the public to know that
our remedies are honest. meritorious,
that they are just what we claim
they are, and we don't want the peo-
pies money before they have given
them a thorough test"
''And the business part?"
"That comes afterwards. We know
the goods are all right. We know the
public will find them so and continue
to purchase the remedy which did
them good when procured free"
