TALK ON ADVERTISING
By c. w. Post Publishers Banquet Battle Creek.

Some thoughtful man might say that
If what you manufacture has merit,
once you get a trade established peo-
pie will continue to purchase. even II
the advertising is stopped. but to act
on that conclusion would be fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap-
pies, and II you give them the chance
they will come in and take the fruit.

far and away beyond the ordinary I'M
advertised thing. 1t should be the
very best that human intelligence and
ingenuity can produce. Then you have
a foundation to build upon that will
not slip out from under when the
building grows heavy. There are per-
sons ignorant enough to believe that
a poor article can be advertised into
a success. 1t cannot and any one who
tries the experiment will pay heavily
for his experience. Critically examine
any well known and advertised article

it will be found to possess exceptional
merit.
In ancient days newspaper publish
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but necessary evil, and that it
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, SO that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying to
make little money by inserting pub
lie announcements. A paper run that
way to-day would fail.
The most successful opponents OF
the new plan of doing business with
ink and paper are using every posi-
BILE means to make the announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.
1t Is safe to. say that thousands OF
women read the newspaper-net the

Prime Minister Balfour has describ-

at cricket as giving sensations almost

There had been no such excitement
in the village since the arrival OF the
new music teacher, Julie North. To
believe that Dickie Armstrong could
really hypnotic people seemed a
large draft on ones credulity. Dickie
had lived in Wakely the twenty-four
years of his existence. had gone
through the grammar school, the most
mischievous boy in it, had been OH
to college and come home to practice
law, without any one suspecting ne
possessed mysterious powers.
Since the fact had become generally
known, the postmaster referred to va
rious letters and pamphlets that had
been coming for the last three
months, and gave it as his opinion
that Dickie Armstrong had taken a
course in hynotism by mail.
In the meantime the four months
in Wakely had been full Of novel
pleasure to Julie North. Coming
from a busy northern city there SEEM
ed something fascinating in the lazy,
happy lives of these Southerners. Her
landlady, one of the before-the-war
aristocracy, treated her like a guest.
The landlady's three bachelor broth
ers seemed to think their mission in
life was to see that the new teacher
should not have chance to get lonely.
These four, following as near as
possible, the old-fashioned, luxurious
style of the before-the-war planter,
had rented their many inherited acres
of cotton and rice lands, and consid-
cred they had labored as much as
was good for man when they made
the rounds every fall to collect the
rent.
The three brothers were known
through the section as Mr.. Jack, Mr..
Courteney and Mr.. Pat, and no one
ever took the trouble to add their last
name unless it were in conversation
with some one born outside the bound
aries of South Carolina. Then the
Darragh brothers were referred to in
the same way one referred to the
flora and fauna of the state-as facts
generally known.
The usual crowd of young people
had gathered at the Darragh place
one night soon after the discovery OF
Dickie Armstrong; hypnotic powers.
''Dickie, do give us an exhibition,
now d." pleaded pretty little Susan
Manning from the corner Of the old
fashioned davenport where she was
lounging in oriental ease.
Julie North looked her skepticism,
but seconded the request.
Dickie trumped up as many ex-
cuses as a pianist who has been in
vited to play.

as q reserve card.

and I offer myself willing subject
