1NO. ~
have bunch of letters from advertisers asking
to criticise their advertisements; to tell them
wherein the copy is bad good
1t is nearly all bad; but most bad advertise
ments pay. The better the copy as general rule
the better the results. Good copy for one class of
trade might be very copy for another there
few broad general principles which are always
true
Your advertisement should be attractive enough
to catch the eye. Size doesn't do this. A two inch
single column card may be made to attract more
notice than announcement big as sheet of note
paper If your advertisement isn't it isn't read
and if it isn't read matter if it has ten million
circulation it isn't worth postage stamp. You are
not investing in circulation but in readers of adyer-
tisements.
The next point is to make your advertisement
readable AS rule the most readable copy is printed
in fairly large book type; kind of type with a
display heading two and the reading divided
into easy paragraphs Most advertisers think that by
crowding the space to its utmost they are getting
bigger value for their money. Within reasonable
limits the very opposite is true Ten words read are
worth than ten thousand words looked at
If were advertising retail shop and found
that my advertising appropriation would allow me to
take two inch card daily in four newspapers should
multiply the two by four and take eight inch card
in newspaper
But the scret of copy is personality; red hot
hustling life Like breeds like. If your shop is a
hustling go-ahead and this spirit reflected
in your advertising the contag ion will spread
The first hundred customers the hardest to get;
the second hundred in about half the time the
third hundred attracted by the crowd.
The full page announcements of the department
stores overshadow the small dealer but there is
opening up great field in every big city for the at
traCtive advertising of the smaller shop. This adj
vertising must be done in way; it must be
pleasing, refined convincing; it must appeal to the
individual who loves quiet rather than noise the very
antithesis of the broadside bargain advertising SO
common in every newspaper.

They had reached Darnell's
Twenty-fourth ward office, concern
ing which the papers had had
much to say, and Mason put aside
his own problems in order to give
his undivided attention to Darnell's
innovations. The ward Office was
an entirely new departure, but it
had proved a most popular one.
From a. m. to p. m. any resi-
dent of the ward could have atten-
ton there.

For an hour or more they rolled
through the streets and the alleys,
principally the alleys, and Darnell
made voluminous notes.

this ward!" exclaimed Mason, in
admiration. do you do this every
day."
NO." answered Darnell; ''but
go over the ward at least once a
week, and sometimes twice. 1t has
, good effect, too. Work is done
here better and more expeditiously
than ever before. I've had some
of the garbage men hauled up, and
they're not neglecting their work
as they once did. I've made lit
tie trouble for some dilatory paw
ing contractors, too. In fact, I'm
trying to give the ward the person
al attention that l would If it were
my property"
you're an ideal alderman" as
serted Mason.
81 admit that I am doing more
than other aldermen in systematic
ing ward business" Darnell said,
"but my opportunities are greater.
Few could afford to do this, even IL
they wished; but think the city
would profit, if it had fewer alder
men and put those few in a posi-.
ton to do business In this way"
81 am sure of it," asserted Mason
"And yet, must admit that I'm
selfish in the matter" said Darnell.
81 didn't want the nomination, and
hadn't planned anything Of this
sort when l accepted. The plan has
been evolved gradually, and my
thoughts have not been entirely on
the ward as it has been evolved"
The automobile slowed up, and
Darnell pointed to big vacant lot,
equipped with swings, a baseball
diamond and a tennis court.
There Is one of my play
grounds he said. 1--WE found
places for three such in the word.
The land for two of them belongs
to my father, and friend gave
me the use Of the third. Even in
this ward we have children who
are sadly in need of play room,
and why not give them the use OF
vacant land?"
why not?" repeated Mason.
"Of course, I had to fit them up
myself and there is another illus
tration of the advantage have
over most aldermen. But the city
could do something Of this sort at
small expense"

quizzically.
"In this instance, yes; but 1t

me to thinking of these things

asked Mason, suddenly.
Darnell flushed and for a mo-

utterly ignored the question.

When Mason reached home, he
repeated this to his wife.
