a Commissioner Of Accounts by Mayor Van

many administration since. MIR. and Mrs.
Van Wyck sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm IL.

Any manufacturer with i'm
agination can sit down with a
copy of The LADIES HOME
JOURNAL and note how care
fully its contents are adapted
to a certain class of the Amer
lean woman. He can make a
few inquiries and find out in just
what estimation The LADIES
HOME JOURNAL is held. He
can then realize that his adver-
tisement in the columns of the
one copy which he can follow
into the home is carefully con-
sidered by the purchasing agent
in that home, and he can then
multiply that result by the
millions Of homes which The
LADIES' HOME JOURNAL
reaches every month. If that
manufacturer sells a food, he
can realize that the purchasing
agent buys not only for her
own mouth, but for the other
mouths she has to feed, the
average number of which is
five to a household. Also,
if he sells a food, he should
remember that the food is eaten
not only yesterday and to-day,
but also tomorrow, and that
if the people in that household
like it he has a chance to con-
tinue selling it to these five
million mouths every day in
the year; but he should not
forget that people need a con-
slant reminder, and that the
one advertisement that carries
the food into the home should
be repeated, SO that it may not
by any chance be supplanted
by another food which another
manufacturer calls to their
attention a month later.
This is the whole principle
of advertising -the right copy
in the right medium, reaching
the right people, and then
continued persistence.
