ADVERTISING AND LETTER WRIT.
ING,

The modern higher form of letter
writing is really phase OF advertis.
ing, and the whole system of sales pro-
motion ought to work together as a
unit. Too many business men spend
huge sums on newspaper and magazine
display, and wholly neglect the letters
that ought to clinch the business when
it comes in. The advertisements are
prepared by highly paid experts, while
The letters are left to SIS week boys.

ence department, assisted by corps
of good stenographers, might Put real
craftsmanship into every letter that

Introduction of form paragraphs and

What is more, the development OF

ship, has produced a new style of ad-
vertising, spoken of as reason why
advertising. AS that form of newspa.
per and magazine advertising (Which
has proved SO successfully originated
in sales letter writing, the best way
to learn it is to learn to write letters
that will pull.
The simplest form of advertising
consists in filling white space with the
name of the concern and general de-
scription of its business (similar to an
ordinary card).
Next comes real business news Of
genuine interest. Such are the daily
lists of special prices in department
store advertising. The object of that
is not to sell at profit the goods ad.
vertised, but merely to create a sensa-
ton that will draw visitors to the store,
where they are likely to buy many 9TH
er things not advertised, on which
there is a good profit, or perhaps form
the habit of going to that store regu-
larly.
The third and highest form of adver-
Using is that which seeks to educate
the public in the real merits and
unique qualities of the goods adver-
tised, or to create demand by teach
ing people to want new thing. 1t is
only by this method that high-priced
goods can be sold by advertising.
Merely mentioning price is effective
in selling the lowest grade of goods,
for it is only on them that the lowest
competitive prices can be made. When
a higher grade Of goods is offered at
a higher price, it is essential to show
the difference in quality, and to prove
claims. That is the essence of "rea-
son why" advertising, and the very
foundation of letter craftsmanship.

The Shoe for Luck,

The bride or bridegroom must not
pick up the shoe that is thrown when
they are departing. Sometimes in play
it is thrown back at those who hurled
it. The proper person to throw the
shoe is the brides father, and it is
considered very unlucky to pick up
the shoe.

The WaIrus' Defenses.

A full-grown walrus will weigh as
much as 1000 pounds; mountainous
mass of muscle and blubber. He is
armed with tusks of ivory, sometimes
two feet in length, and when from
his upreared bulk these formidable
weapons are plunged downward upon
an enemy, they are resistless as the
drop of guillotine. Such thick lay
er of blubber lies under the skin that
he is practically clad in an armor i'm
pervious to teeth and claws alike. So,
unless the bear is greatly favored by
luck, he has little chance to overthrow
his ansagonist.-St. Nicholas.

VACATION WORK

Editor Evening Bull let In
We have this opportunity to ask
your kindness for space in your pa
per, to iell how we have spent our
dear old vacation time. Yes, its II
pity To us when we begin to think
of the many good times we had at
Moaula, working there every day
with people Of different naionalltlos
and how we suffered many time
short of food and other difficulties
of life. None OF us got sick but al
ways good, strong and healthy. IL
was on August 31th when We quit
work and had our money collected
in n few days later. We left the dear
old place Friday, August Bird, pack
ed some of our things which we
could carry and walked home by way

thing else but to get away from the
dear old Kau for years. While we
are in Kamehumoha school We shall

The appointment of William H. Hol-
land to the police force of Westerly,
year and a half ago, was sur
prise to some politicians, and caused
caustic remarks against n well known
local clergyman who was credited
with putting up the political job, that
landed Holland. 1t has been proven
that the minister made no mistake in
his selection, and criticism of the town
council ceased when Policeman Hol-
land made good. 1t was supposed that
Holland was contented with the life
of a policeman, and his resignation
caused as much surprise as did his
appointment.
At the very meeting that the resig-
nation was presented there were petit
tions from those in the inside for ap
pointment to fill the vacancy; but the
councilmen concluded to defer the ap-
pointment until such time as all who
desired would have opportunity to
make application for the place. The
selection will be made by the council
men, who are the sole judges in the
selection, as no physical or mental ex-
animation is exacted in the appoint
ment Of the Westerly police force.
Unless there be change in the pres
ent methods, the fire alarm in the
Pawcatuck district will be sent in
whenever a match is lighted. Thurs
day morning the steam in the boilers
at the Cottrell plant was materially
reduced by sixty blasts on the fire
whistle, which represented the four
rounds pulled in from box As. There
was no cause for sending in the alarm,
for the little blaze was extinguished
before. the excited individual smashed
the little glass door of the fire alarm
box.
There was a plumber at work in the
American Greek store in West Broad
street. His gasoline torch spurted oil
and some Waste took fire, which was
all there was to the fire, and the ex-
citement was over in a minute.
Henry j. BIoesser Of Paweatuck,
who recently suffered paralytic shock
left Thursday afternoon for the Con-
necticut soldiers home lat Noroton
Heights, where he has been assigned
quarters. Mr.. Bloesser served in the
civil war in Company X, One Hundred
Forty-fifth regiment, Pennsylvania in
fantry. He was formerly a resident of
Groton.
Maynard Martin, suffering from a
disease said to be incurabIe, was taken
from his home in Pawcatuck Thurs
day to the Hartford City hospital for
treatment. He was not considered a
proper patient for the Backus hospital,
Norwich, or Memorial hospital, New
London but was accepted by the Hart
ford institution. which is equipped for
cases of this character.
Several weeks ago Martin was ped
ding ice cream in Westerly, but was
compelled to give up the business by
order of the health officer.
Budlong post, Woman's Relief corps,
entertained Department Commander
Lake Thursday evening. There was a
business and social session in the as
