teresting things about interesting goods
and have the goods to talk.
Men talk Of the secret Of successful
advertising, but it is all very plain. The
essentials are to offer what peopl,
want, at fair prices, and to offer it in
a way that will make readers know
they want it. The art in writing an
advertisement is to speak as the inter.
ested and well-informed merchant
would speak to a prospective customer.
The mere appearance of a business
mans name and address in every issus
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 a newspaper is the prin-
cipal secret of successful advertising.
The Idea that it takes a number OF
Impressions to make the average ad-
vertisement effective is not new. Forty
years ago an English advertiser said
to the publisher Of the Cornhiu 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 it through and
thinks about it; the fifth makes a ur-
chaser of him. 1t takes time to soak
