The best way to advertise Is just to
advertise. Get at 1t with view to hav-
Ing the people know what you most de-
sire to sell, and incidentally letting
them know that the specified items do
not represent your full stock. Say in
teresting things about interesting goods.
and have the goods to talk.
The Lewiston teller. (Lewiston, Idaho) 1900-1905, 1901-12-05

Men talk Of the secret Of successful
advertising, but 1t is all very plain. The
essentials are to offer what people
want, at fair prices. and to offer It In
a way that will make readers know
they want 1t. The art In writing an ad-
vertisement is to speak as the interest
ed and well-informed merchant would
speak to prospective customer.
The mere appearance Of a business
mans name and address in every issue
Of a leading newspaper will do work to
Increase his trade. Every business man.
however, Is able to give facts about his
establishment which will encourage
people to deal with him. To state such
facts clearly in newspaper is the prin-
cipal secret Of successful advertising.
The idea that 1t takes a number of
impressions to make the average adver-
tlsement effective Is not new. Forty
years ago an English advertiser said
to the publisher of the Cornhill Maya
zine: I'VE don't consider that an adj
vertisement seen for the first time by
a reader is worth much. The second
time it counts for something The third
time the readers attention is arrested;
the fourth time he reads II through and
thinks about It; the fifth makes a pur-
chaser Of him. 1t takes time to soak
In"

The Baton Rouge Advocate say.
that ''the present law in the collect
ION OF State taxes, while it is the
severest and most exacting against
sheriffs and tax collectors, is the
most perfect and satisfactory ever
put upon the statute books. With
the opening of the new year, each
sheriff is charged with the full
amount of taxes of every kind in his
parish. The burden then rests with
him to balance with the parish and
State or give sufficient legal reason
why the collections have not been
made. Failing in these two REQUIRE.
ments, he or his bondsmen must
come up to the captains Office and
make good what he has failed TO |
collect or account for. The law is
harsh and exac,ing, but it is almost
perfect. We believe the State has
