NEWSPAPERS REST
FOR ADVERTISING
william L. Douglass, the Great Shoe
Manufacturer, Uses Them to the
Exclusion Of Other Mediums.

One OF the most experienced adyer-
tisers In this country Is William L.
Douglass, the New England shoe
manufacturer. In the last ten years
his business has amounted to s7a,454,-
400. estimated upon the wholesale
price of the products OF his factories
And be openly admits that newspaper
advertising made him successful.
In the last ten years he has spent
g., 100000 in advertising. He has
made study OF advertising aud is
looked upon by other great advertisers
and by advertising agents as one Of
the greatest experts 10 this country
upon advertising.
He has tried all the different kinds
OF advertising. experimenting and
watching results, and here is what be
says about the value OF newspaper ad-
yertising compared with the other
kinds:
Gin 1883 l began advertising In
newspapers. The results were 90 good
that later | also advertised 10 maya
zines. The returns did not warrant
ne in continuing. l withdrew my
advertisement from magazines. but
later on tried the experiment again.
Once more | took out nv advertise
nents, and since then l have used
only newspapers to bring my goods be-
fore the public eye.
"a newspaper advertisement strikes
the eye the moment the sheet 10 open
ed. The same advertisement would lie
hidden among the pages of a maya
zine until the reader found bis way to
it,if he " did.
Practically every man reads q
newspaper. Every man does not read
magazines.
Another excellent reason for the
superiority OF newspaper over maya
zine advertising rests In the fact tina
in those same local papers the reader
sees the lad" every day OF his life,
while be sees it,at best, only once q
month in q magazine.

CHEWING GUM CAUSES DE ATH.
Girls Dies of Lockjaw in Hos-
pital.

Philadelphia, Pa. Victim of her
own habit Of chewing gum almost
necessarily, Miss Elizabeth Goodwin,
q years old OF No. 1928 Boston street,
died to-day 10 the Samaritan Hos
pital from lockjaw. For ten years
she had been addicted to the chewing
gum habit, and her jaws, which had
worked necessarily, finally became
clamped. She died in agony, as her
finance, to whom she was to have been
married next month, stood by her bed
side.
Miss Goodwin acquired the habit
when q child, and In school she was
punished frequently for slipping gum
into her mouth. The teachers were
unable, however, to make her give up
the habit, and at home she chewed
almost constantly. Her parents re-
monstrated with her, but their scold-
ings were fruitless.
