OF INTEREST TO ADVERTISERS.

The advertising manager of John
Wanamaker of Philadelphia delivered an
interesting address in the Quaker city
the other evening upon the best method
of advertising, and the address, in its
entirity, ought to be given careful read
ing by every advertising man in this city.
He treated of the subject in a general
way, SO that his observations are just as
applicable to the advertiser here as in
Philadelphia. He begins with the self
evident proposition that advertising is
the life of trade. Speaking of the best
mediums for the advertising of merchan-
disc, he said:
Newspapers reach the greatest num-
Der of people in the immediate vicinity,
in the most natural way, at the least ex-
pense, and they are therefore the best
of all medium for stores Gin a news
paper you follow the lines of least resist
ance-you flow with the stream-you
talk to an audience already assembled, to
the people who want to read-they are
on your wire and they won't ring off if
you hold their interest"
This is generally recognized by success
full business men of today. The old plan
of having circulars printed and distribut-
ed from door to door has been shown to
be much less effective and in the long
run, much more expensive than adver-
ising in newspaper. There is such a
deluge of circular advertisements that
people are prone to throw the circular
into the trash pile without so much as
giving it a glance. The advantage of
newspaper over the circular is we'll set
forth by the speaker.
In discussing the wording and general
nature of the advertisement, the speaker
makes some interesting suggestions. He
says:
"An advertiser must become at TIM
a millionaire, struggling laborer, man
OF affairs, clerk, mother, father,
bachelor, an art lover, miser-as the
case may be; running the gamut of life
in all its stages; appealing to each reader
if possible. If not, then appealing to
some trait common to them all.
This is merely another way of saying
that the best advertisement is that which
is dictated by a knowledge of human
nature. And, judging from the address,
we infer that the advertiser of John
Wanamaker believes that while adver-
tisements should be truthful and not ex-
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1906-03-30

aggerated, they should be played up
strenously, vigorously, and with
virility. He calls it the "bigstick me-
thod." This idea is evidently born of
knowledge of human nature. People
like the man who talks out from the
shoulder; likes the business man who
writes to the public though the news
paper with the same refreshing frank
ness. The man who believes in himself
and in his merchandise can make the
public shrae his belief.

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds /?

We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has ill-
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford TO sell fraudulent medi-
cines. Our business depends on
pleased customers-in fact any
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
ful OF what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know ii pretty WE'LL
what il contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex.
all line of remedies, particularly
Rexall Mucu- Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time of the year. Mueu-Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
ninetyseight per cent. of its. pur-
eliasers are going to be benefited
and will return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu-Tone.
is positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. 1t is without a
doubt the peer of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from a
rundown condition, can't work,
feels constantly tired or suffering
from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrh-such as
stopping of the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough"
Ii must be remembered that Ca
tarrll is not confined 10 the nose
and throat 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the

Here is letter from her father:
My little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuff3 and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. | saw the adver-
tisements of RcxalI Mucu-Tone,
but could not believe that any
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes OF the
nose. However, took advan-
tage of your free trial offer and
my girl began taking Your remedy
according to directions. want
to say right here that Mucu- Tone
is certainly the greatest medical
discovery of the times, and to
thank you for the liberal offer
that first induced me to give il a
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catarrll completely.
The discharge has stopped alto
gether, and her breath is as sweet
as can be. Again thanking you,
MATT. DILLON, "a N. Swan St,

We are selling a large trial bot.
