a glowing testimonial of the efficacy of
advertising. 1t cost Hurst Bros. Just
$1.5O to insert this adv. in The Reporter
and it brought them many shoe custom
ers besides winning them a cash prize
OF $40. They know it pays them to ad-
vertise in The Reporter.
The contest manager of SELF Shoe
News, in commenting upon 5he advertis-
ing OF Hurst Bros, saying:
Hurst Bros. have always been excep-
tionally good advertisement writer's,
but the series Of four advertisements
they sent us this month excels any we
have ever seen over their name. The
four are SO good that we're reproducing
them all for your benefit, and sending
Hurst Bros. our check for S20-first
prize.
There isn't retailer among our
$4,000 who won't profit by careful
study of these four ads.
First of all, they'r attractive. They
caught the writer's attention from every
thing else in the papers as he glanced
through the copies sent in by Hurs
Bros. I've never seen Hurst Bros. store,
but if we're in Leon certainly would
want to trade there, because their at
tractive advertisements convince me
that their store must be pleasant, sat-
isfactory high-class place to trade. On
the other hand, several of the adver-
tisements sent in this month produced
just the opposite effect.-High-class ad-
vertising makes people consider store
and it's goods high class.
Now read the advertisements. Think
of the effect on the people of Leon when
they read this convincing, straight
from-tbe- shoulder, reason-why talk. Do
you wonder that Hurst Bros. are getting
the shoe business of their county?
Light rules and plenty of white space
are distinctive characteristics of all
Hurst Bros. advertising.
Style and wear are emphasized, as
we'll as store service. The invitation
to prospective customers to look at and
try on shoes is effectively given in
three of the ads, and must have served
to start good many "merely-interest-
ed" customers road to buying.
Our only suggestion to Hurst Bros. is
that in most of their advertisements it
would be effective to mention the range
of prices of the shoes they sell. Value
talk becomes more specific when prices
are shown.

Terrible Rains.

We doubt if there was ever SO much
water fell in this part of Iowa in any
year as has fallen in the past few
weeks. There seems to be no limit to
the rain. Government weather observ-
er j. M. Gardner keeps an accurate re-
port Of the rainfall, having regulation
government rain gauge, and in the
forty eight hours from Sunday evening,
at o'clock until Tuesday evening at 2;
o'clock the rainfall was 8.11 inches.
Just think of it. No wonder all the
streams in the county were out OF
banks.

The theme for the morning service

The mems chorus will sing again in

work was much enjoyed by all last Sum
day night. Bible study from Acts 11th
chapter, on Thursday evening. Choir

$t2,ooo,ooo PRICE FOR A HORSE.
Antique Game of GeometrleaI Ratio Is
Boomerang in Freak Deal.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-Twelve million
dollars is the price agreed upon for a
horse in a freak deal that was made
the other day.
Frank Kress. superintendent OF the
Riverview Coating mills. owns a big
colt which Louis Ehrman desired to
purchase A dispute arose over the
weight of the animal. Kress claiming
that the horse would raise the scales
at !, 100 pounds and Ehrman denying
1t.
The owner then told Ehrmann that
he would let him have the horse free
If he was under that weight. but that
Ehrmann must buy him IL over that
weight, paying with beans for each
pound overweight, on a geometrlcal
basis Of one bean for the first pound,
two beans for the second, four beans
for the third, etc.
The horse weighed an even 1000
pounds, making Ehrmann liable to pay
on a basis Of 40 poGds.
Kress got busy with his pencil, and.
allowing 400 beans to the quart. finds
that he sold the horse for 5000, 900
bushels of beans. which at the market
price. are worth between $4,000, 900
and s12.50O.U00.
He declares he will deliver the
horse and will hold Ehrmann to their
contract
