The Demand Of the Business World
for Advertisement Writers Calls
for q New Branch of Study.
Cori for Evamins'ions by Teachers viii
Soon be offered


Soon be offered.
The business, professional and
school world will he interested in
the important announcement that
another and most important branch
of study that of advertising is to be
added to the curriculum of every pro-
-gressive school in the land. The
Business College managers and the
teachers III the commercial depart
ments OF the public schools especially
will hp interested tn know that the
study of advertising has reached the
advanced stage of securing rccogni-
ticn. The demands of modern bust
ness have called upon teachers in
theSr schools t" give Young men and
Young women an education along
the line "f advertising work. Up
10 this time there has been no text
book upon the subject and it has
been next to impossible to do any
thing along the line of educating
students in this all important work.
The announcement is now made
for the first time that Geo. w. Wag-
ensellcr, A. NJ. of Middleburgh, Pa.
proprietor and instructor of the Wag-
enscl1cr Correspondence Course of Ad-
vertising Instruction, has prepared a
text book designed especially teach
the subject IN the schools. The
book is entitled "Theorv and Prac-
tice of Advertising.' 1t will come
from the press and be ready for de-
iivery about July l, 1902.
4 Demand.
There is a great demand in all
kinds of business for men and women
prepared to write advertisements,
plan advertising compaigns and di-
rect the execution of successful Fol-
low-up Systems upon which depends
so largely the results of an appro-
priation for publicity.
The Reason.
Large sums of money have been
wasted by business men in trying to
advertise without knowing how to
90 about it. Many thousands of
dollars can be s1uandered in very
short tnc, without any perceptible
results. These conditions in the
business world call for men and
women specially qualified to look
after the publicity Of various enter
prises aud manufactured products.
The Importance.
So important is the work of know
ing how to advertise successfully,
that no progressive Business or Com
mercial School can any longer dis
regard its urgent claims for carefu
consideration and to provide adeqra,e
means to teach it to their students.
Evorr student who pursues course
OF study in bookkeeping, steno-
gra, .v, business practice, or any
9TH. branches in thn commercial or
litc~ry schools ~',n : be given an
opi runity to p.@>ue Il course in
advertising.

Csss 1sarssiv~iy New.

While the subject Of advertising
is comparatively new, yet men ad-
vertised i'll the newspapers for more
than fifty years. The reason adver-
tising seems new is because it has
been growing is because it has been
growing and new plans, new ideas
and new methods are evolved every
day, There are certain principles
of advertising that are always the
same, but the manner Of applying
them will vary with the conditions
that confront the advertiser.

Exhibition OF Type and Ads.

There is also shown in this text
book, different sizes of type, differ
ent kinds of displays and specimens
of good advertisements. With ev-
cry lesson there is given some prac-
teal problem to work out, an adver-
tisement or advertising literature or
something of that character to write.

veal the broad scope of the book
which is copyrighted.

that confront the advertiser.
Text book Can Not Tell All.
1t may be argued and truthfully
too that text book on advertising
can not cover everything that a
writer of advertisements should
know. A text book can, and the
Theory and Practice OF Advertis-
ing" does, unfold the more import
ant elements that enter into correct
ideas OF advertising aud will give to
every capable student the tounda-
ton to begin work in this most I'M
portant branch, upon which the
growth of modern business SO largely
depends.
Advertising Like Stenogrnphy Must
Have a Place.
Shorthand has been taught gcner-
ally for such short time that the
person who does not remember when
it was not taught must be very
young indeed. When its utility in
the business world, became known,
the introduction of stenography
spread among business colleges as
rapidly as measles and whooping
cough i'll country school. Adver-
tising fills a much greater and more
important feature of business devel-
opment than does stenography. The
busines, college or other school that
j. progressive will be the first to fall
in line to adopt the means whereby
the interests of their students are
promoted and their future welfare
enhanced.

Lessons Easily Acquired.

1t has been the aim of the author
to cover every important branch of
the subject, but the text is made
easy and the work light so that the
average business school student will

tion with his other studies.
