was made that he could do anything.
A committee was asked for and Riley
Osburn and another citizen ventrued
to try the trick.

UP Main to Ninth then to Blondeau,
down to Eighth. across Main and down
to Seiberts cigar store where Osburn
hid his jack knife in the bottom OF
a jar containing paper cigar holders,
Then they drove down Main street
and looped the loop around the Curtis
statue, which is still located at Third
and Main. and back to the corner
where Sylvia was awaiting them.
Sylvia was blindfolded so that he
could see nothing and taking hold of
Osburns wrist asked him to think of

How to Test a Newspaper
Advertisement

Newspaper space is vehicle by which an ad.
vertiser's ideas distributed to the readers
Thatthe identity of the sender may be irnmed
ately recognized, his message must be natural
expression of himself, and reflect his personality.
So,much advertising fails because the adver-
hser clothes his ideas in wording that is not at all
consistent with his nature.
His best friends do not recognize him in his
advertising garb, while those who do not know him,
feel instinctvely that he is masquerading.
The secret of perfect Photographic likeness
is not in expensive camera, the up-to-date equip
ment OF gallery, nor yet in the effective of light
1t is the ability of the artist himself to COM
mand unconsciousy the confidence of the sitter and
to accurately gauge his real character.
By it he overcomes the feeling of srangeness
the lack of poise in his subject, and catches him in
natural attitude. He then transmit to piece of
paper likeness of the man as he really is.
The best "copy" for newspaper ADVERTISE
ment is simply the natural, sincere talk that mer-
chant uses in making sale over his counter
A copy writer must be able to impersonate
the advertisers personality and express ideas in
print that they instantly recognized sincere
message from the head of the business.
If he make the reader feel in his ''copv'
that intangible something that pervades every sue
cessful commercial organization-he can be trusted
with the work. If not, the head of the business had
better prepare his copy
In word, before sending message to the
people, through the columns of the newspaper see
if the thought and the wording ring true as the
natural expression of the advertiser.
