where the goats come in. No boy will
pay over a cent admission fee to come
in and see three goats"
Mr.. Bowser flushed up, and his ears
gave twitch, but he hung on to him
self and said:
'If you had read the news Of the
E day instead Of so many love stories,
you would have been better posted.
Just now as you might have ascer-
tanned, the whole world is going crazy
on the subject of goats milk. The
doctors are finding it panacea for
almost every ill., The milk Is being
given to thousands Of invalids, and
goat butter has been found the best
thing in the world for people that
want to build up and take on flesh"
"But we have no children to drink
the milk, and neither Of us want to
take on more nesh," protested Mrs.
Bowser
He smiled in superior way, and,
taking a pencil and paper he sat down
and said:
Mrs. Bowser, can't you see bust
ness opening when it is held up to your
eyes? We don't want the milk and
butter from those goats, but we want
the money it will bring from others.
Can't you underestimate"
"Oh. then, you are going to open a
goat dairyy"
"Um! l am going to sell goats milk
and butter. In a sense it is the same
as II I opened drug store to sell a
patent medicine warranted to be of the
greatest benefit to mankind. I should
not call it goat dairy"

"But the public will. 1t won't be

"See here, woman" he shouted
don't you go too far in this thing! II
any one calls me Coat Bowser' it will
be because you have set them up to do
It, and want you to understand right
here and now that I shall exact a terri
bic revenge"
"You know l won't do any such
thing, but let that go. You have the
goats. Now for the profits. Let me
see your figures"

Of the room six times and back before

ABOUT ADVERTISEMENT /
The Hen and the
Doorknob
By Herbert Kaufman

Once upon time there was fool
hen who sat on china doorknob for
three weeks expecting to get a famtly
The only thing she did get was e.
ber1ence.
The advertising field is full of
"china doorknob propositions
amples of merchants who expect good
newspapers to hatch money out of bad
egg business, or who put sound nest
eggs under the sUrong advertising
hen."
There are three principles to fol-
low in an advertising campaign:
First of all, find business that will
stand advertising; secondly, find the
newspaper that will make the adver-
Using pay; thirdly. give the news
paper time to pay.
You can't start in to breed dollars
in less time than it takes to hatch
them any more than you can pull
hen off the nest before she has had a
chance to incubate. In both cases
you simply svaste what has been in
vested. If you stop too soon you
will get a rotten egg instead of
chicken.
Advertise something out of which
you may reasonably expect returns,
and when you have found evhat to
advertise, take care that you place
your copy in newspaper that can
turn the trick. Don't delude yourself
with a china doorknob, and don't
confuse rooster newspaper which
spends it's time cock a-loruming, for
"hen newspaper" that is too busy
Matching out dollars to strut about
growing.
