ADVERTISING
ADVERTISING NJ >
written by Seymour Eaton of mo. L
Advertising and news are first cousins.
The railroad and the stage coach are grandchild
and grandfather.
Four out of five advertisers still use stage coach
methods. The agency that distributes news has the
quickest cheapest and most effective machinery
distributing advertising That agency is the news
paper.
The who passes your shop window is going
somewhere. He is other GRAND. If you
want to catch him when he is not in hurry put your
shop window in the newspaper; few articles at
time. You make hundred and fifty thousand
people look at this kind of window every day and with
much better selling results than if that hundred
thousand walked by your shop one by
know retail store in of large cities
branch of an English house, which until the autumn
of 1906 managed by Englishman austere,
conservative, dignified who would have been
shocked to his shop advertised in American
newspaper He had exclusive trade and his net
profits amounted to about $4,000 year This
Englishman died. His assistant, aggressive young
American, took charge. He advertised advertised
continuously in the best local newspaper Last year
this exclusive shop made net profit of $50 600
Why? Simply because there five hundred
thousand well-to-do people in that city who never knew
that this shop existed until they those advertise
ments in the newspaper; and the shop has
cellent street location too
This is concrete case the facts of which l
personally know The Englishman depended upon
the quality of his goods and his beautifully crested
stationery and his attractive shop window and his
whichwere above criticism The young American put
the whole show into the newspaper; admission free.
Show ten shops which advertise regularly in
a daily newspaper and 1 will show you nine that
ably due to bad manag cement of some sort
Some people value goods by the price they pay;
others by the shop in which they buy; others by
effect the goods have upon their neighbors 1t is only
goods by the goods. If you want all four classes as
customers it is your business advertiser to
make the cap fit.
