SALMON WASTE.

When salmon packers say they can
not advertise their product TO amy ad-
vantage, it is almost too true. Salmon
cheeks are permitted to go to wfosoev-
er desires to have them, while every
body who once tastes them, likes them.
Some people who never did like salmon
like salmon cheeks. Why waste good
part of a fish, simply because no fessi-
BILE way OF putting it up, has been
found. Why permit the public to re-
main in ignorance about salmon, when
little different package at a little
higher price will enable the packer to
educate the people that a good salmon
steak is palatable and nntritive besides.
Why permit the jobber to say, he won't
handle your goods except at such a
price, when advertising to the people
will create a demand at higher retail
price, incidentally compelling the iobber
to buy your goods at your proportion
ately more profitable price.

How to Close the Deal.

ces which must be brought to bear on
the undecided purchaser. He must sup.
ply the psychological effect that the
printed ad lacks. The merchant who
expects good results by mail from an ad
writer should take into his confidence
and give him great deal of informa-
tion that it would not be advisable to
tell the public. The adwriter should
have the same inside knowledge that an
attorney demands in conducting law.
suit 1t is evident, therefore, that in
every store clerks must work in co.
operation with the advertising manager.
1t is essential that every employe knows
his business. that is, the details of his
department perfectly. 1t is necessary
that his argument be concise, vet strong
enough to close the sale. On the other
hand, every employe should assist the
advertising man with-every bit of in
formation that may lead to the epnclus-
ion of sale by mail.

Truth Will Ont.

Merchants who think that to cut
prices is an argument brought forth by
the ad-man, to induce the use of more
advertising space, are just little bit
on the wrong track. Cut prices are
necessary to the best business inter
ests of any firm, but not when based
on the general haphazard cut price idea.
A merchant cuts the price on an article,
remaining on his hands longer than is
reasonable. Goods out of season, stock
that is damaged, or edibles which will
rot, if kept longer, are all entitled to a
cut, to enable the dealer to get his mon
ey back and induce the customer to
take the goods. The misleading special
sale advertisement is, however, a sad
mistake. When you have bought wrong
why tell the prospective purchaser, you
have bought the latest, even if You cut
the price to cost? Tell the customer
it was your mistake, and you are vii
ling that he or she shall profit by it.
1t will be appreciated. Last seasons
goods should be advertised as last sea.

Making Retailers Provide Good Copy.

How can the publisher make adver-
tising pay his advertisers! The first
element needed in a solution of this
question is good copy. Some eonyinc-
ing argument must be used, some at
tractive bargain offered, some definite
idea conveyed. Without this all that
publisher can do would not be sufficient.
he might print model paper that every
body in his territory reads, and give the
copy the most attractive display possible
ne might put it in the most conspieu-
ous part of his paper, and yet it would
bring no returns were the text meaning.

educate your merchants in the art Of ad.

ton Of their copy, get them to study
the advertisements of successful mer-
chants in large cities that appear in
your exchanges. Persuade them to take
mail courses in advertising from some
of the good correspondence schools.

from some of them in exchange for ad.
rertising and give those to the largest
merchants. 1t would pay You we'll

Der of parliament, who in fit of men
