ADVERTISING
SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING NJ Z
written By Seymour Eaton Of Philadelphia lNO. =

Never spring big newspaper advers c me nj upon
the public unexpectedly.
Make it an nvariable rule to lead up by two or
three nicely graded steps the important announce
ment TO be made People take certain pleasure out
of anticipation They enjoy their dinner all the
they have been annousy waiting TO hear the bell
But if you open up your morning newspaper and find
bazed forth in big headlines the advertisement of
something startlingy you stunned rather than
Interested If, however, for two three days you
have been looking for this announce me mt and each
day getting little curious about you Get YOUR
self keyed up in anticipation and then if the announce
ment is better than you had ina ened you sur
render in a body.
Don't pay the United States government two
cents for carrying letter a circular ess than
two cents.
The average advertiser will shave off IS cents a
thousand on envelopes and quarter of a pound
on paper and beat down the printer in price that he
is obliged TO a 30-cent ink and by various other
economies get his material ready for So thousand.
He will then pay the government $40 for carrying his
stiney, badly printed, cheap-ooking So worth of
stuff and pat himself the back being economical
Don't waste gray matter on your competitor No
matter how entertaniney he lies you 90 right
telling the plain blunt kind of truth that moher-used

Truth can be made far entertaining than
falsehood Don't be afraid to call a spade spade

There are tens of thousands Of people who prefer

type with whirligg borders and crazy, badly engrav

clown at Barnum's may look funny, but he couldn't
make good the road selling gold watches. The
advertiser has idea that the fool things he
drags into his copy the entertaining it is. The
clown has the very idea.
The great thing in all advertising is not quantity
of circulation, but quality Of your copy printed in

A CITY LIVING
ON CRIME

While the Times would not med
die in the affairs iof any other city, it
takes an interest in the welfare OF
ali the cities and towns in Wash
ington county, and being a paper
whose aims are always exerted for
better city, county and state, we are
not overstepping our meets and
bounds when criticism is necessary
regarding tire municipal governments
Of al towns in the county.
We are reliably informed that the
officers of the city OF Leland are
i'll the habit Of watching the Y &
NJ V trains as they pass through
that town. and arresting all tramps
they find stealing rides. These tramps
do not care TO stop over in Leland,
and it is not thcir intention OF 50
doing when they start ont on their
pilgrimage The majority of them
are quiet and unoffensive and are
looking for work For each arrest

more lenient in cases that come be
fore them.
This is strong statement emanat-
ing from the pen of any writer and
the author should be prepared TO sub
stantiate the statement. This charge
was made against the Town OF Lee
land by our contemporary, the Green
vile Times, in the issue of the roth
inst which paper cites three cases 81
whites who were arrested for steal
ing rides on the Y. & NJ v Railroad.
We do not know the merits of. the
cases mentioned, but this we know
that the officers in arresting these
men, did their duty and nothing but
their duty. and the magistrate before
whom they were tried, in sentencing
the men used his best judgement in
so doing.
We believe the Times has allowed
itself to be imposed upon to a great
extent aud after dne consideration
will so decide and will admit it II
they do not think so after thinking
over the matter, we must then believe
that it is their intention of going out
of their way to take a fling at our
fair city and try to place her before
the public in a bad light
@Just before going out of office Gov
ernor Vardaman issued proclama-
ton to the peace officers over the
/ state to use extra vigilance in the
enforcement of the laws and among
the precautions mentioned was that
/ of arresting those who were stealing
rides on the trains.
We are not given to wasting a
lot bf foolish sentiment over num-
Der OF hohoes aud law breakers. but
feel that it is the duty of the Enter
prise and of every good citizen to
i commend the city officials for doing
their duty 1t is fact that it aIways

Everybody for Miller.

Bristol Banner: All doubt as
to who will be fitting successor
to Hon. A. L. Bricks seat in con-
gress has been removed now that
Hon. {. w. Miller of Goshen has
needed the call of friends and Re
publican party workers all over
the district and has authoritative
ly announced his candidacy for
congressional honors. A man of
recognized ability as a lawyer and
business man, a student of the at
fairs of state and nation, logical
thinker, a man of intellectual, cor
dial and pleasing address, and an
orator, Charles w. Miller is pre-
eminently the man for the honor,
and if nominated, as he no doubt
will be, and elected, the Thir-
tenth district will be ably repre-
scented in the affairs of the nation
at Washington. Hurrah for Char
lie Miller!
