The photograph furnishes one Of
the most effective forms of
advertising for the retail
merchant With the aid of a
local photographer. q splendid
advertising campaign can br
carried on with comparatively
little cost. The plan involves the
use of some little tact and good
Judgment, yet is entirely feasible
even In the smallest towns
Accepting the theory that people
are attracted by familiar faces, the
idea is to incorporate wcll-known
characters into the advertising.
For instance, say it is desired
to advertise Il line of baby car
riages. 1t would not be difficult
matter to put some pretty little
child in Il baby carriage and have
a photograph taken of both
a popular school girl could be
photographed in the act of trying
on pair of shoes. Children have
an unconscious grace and pose
we'll before the camera. They can
be used to advertise all sorts OF
wearing apparel and will readily
lend themselves to this purpose
School girls and especially the
boys. from the kindergarten up
through the grammar grades make
good subjects.
A favorable sentiment can easily
be cultivated among the school
children and parents would like
wise become interested.
The uses of the photograph for
advertising purposes are uniimit-
cd. What better ad can be pre-
pared for the millinery store than
the photograph of some local
beauty wearing 4 stylish bonnet?
1t would not be at all difficult
to induce a pretty young lady to
pose for this purpose. The gift Of
the hat itself and q little tact
Feminine vanity will serve the
advertiser a good turn, for
naturally enough the prettiest girl
in the locality will be selected.
A society favOrito at a chatting
dish or setting a table would put
life" into an ad for chinaWarc or
silver wear.
An old gentleman sitting COM
fortably in Morris chair would
prove a good furniture ad.
Some swell young Teller" of the
town could be used to exploit a
hi hn
A store catering to young men
could attract trade to the furnish
ing department and even work up
Il strong clothing ad in this way.
Even such common place
thing as otcrallS can be made to
serve good advertising purpose.
A life picture of 4 WnrkinSinan in
his overalls and cap. busy with his
tools in the shop would be strong
appeal To the laboring classes.
This would be a bid for the re-
putatiOn of being a friend of the
laboring classes.
The human element" enters
into all advertising more or less
and the pictures of familiar faces
can be used to attract not only the
friends but also others of the buy
