At the height of the summer season
of 1905 some New York business men
took u fishing trip to Anglesea which
provoked an interesting conversation,
the particulars of which were brought
to the JOURNALS attention recently.
When business men get together it is
impossible for them to avoid for long
the subject of advertising and on this
absorbing topic many odd stories are
told. II once advertised, " said a well
known contractor in the party, ''for a
donkey engine, [ got the very thing |
wanted at a low price and when |
opened the boiler | found it filled to
the top with struggled Havana cigars
and Jamaica rum. | sold the odd car
go for 1928" o. said John Ma
man in white linen, town, as you
know, Ms Medicine Mill, the only
factory of its kind in the world. Our
daily output is 100000 pills, 125,00O
plasters and SO, 900 bottles of pain-kil-
Ter. How did this mammoth business
start? | started with "A dollar "ad.'
| was tw~enty-eight at the time, and |
was keeping the books of a retail fur
niture emporium at seven dollars a
week, hours from eight To six. Pretty
near sick | was; | had thoughts of sui
eide; shaving, mind you, ten hours a
day, and only seven dollars to take
home to my wife and children on Sat
urday night. | had a receipt for a
pain-killer, a good medicine made out
of herbs that my great grandfather had
gotten from an Indian. To try and
make up a back months rent my wife
put up two dozen bottles of the pain
killer-it cost her, all told, fifty cents
and | put a dollar ad. in the paper
about what the medicine would do.
What happened A druggist took the
two dozen bottles at twenty cents
apiece and ordered six dozen a week
till further orders. Further orders, a
month later, were for the doubling of
the weekly supply. soon had to leave
the retail furniture emporium. | soon
had to hire six girls to help me put up
p~ain-killer. And that was my start.
| am a millionaire today, thanks to Il
dollar ad. and a good article to back it
up" ~ said the third fisherman,
hauling in a founder, "made and sold
timed soups for twelve years at an an
nual profit of 81 500 without advertis-
ing. | now advertise my timed soup
I have been doing so since Iceland
already my annual profit is $4,000.
