Some Good Pointers for
Ambitious Advertisers

Speaking at a recent meeting Of the
Omaha Ad Club on the planning Of
an advertising campaign r. P. Fedrea,
publisher Of the Trade Exhibit, that
city, made the following remarks:
Before a business man spends his
money in building. he has a compe.
tent architect prepare plans and speci-
fications--a most desirable economical
move.
It is even more important that, be-
fore he spends money for advertising,
he prepare, or have prepared for him,
proper plans and specifications"
II is simply foolish and absurd to
spend good advertising money in a
haphazard fashion, buying q little Of
this and taking a little OF that, using
some space now and then In variety
OF mediums and dropping ont of
sight entirely ut intervals No good
has ever come or ever can come from
such ways Of handling advertising.
Expensive experience has taught
that the only way to real success IN
advertising is through the adoption Of
a sensible, carefully thought out plan
and then keeping everlasting at II all
the time you want to do business
and then keeping everlastingly at ii all
there are number Of elements re,
quiring careful consideration and
this is equally true whether the pro,
posed expenditure be an average OF
SIS a week or an average Of s a minute.
Every business Is more or less pc
culiar to itself and possessed Of nd
vantages and beset by difficulties diff
ferent in at least some degree from
those Of its competitors. 1t Is
through the study of these advantages
that the proper policy or CLAN Of ad-
vertising may be determined
The man at the heart OF the busi-
ness is the man possessed of the In
formation required for the determin-
alton of an advertising policy, even
though he may not be able 10 plan an
advertising campaign nor to carry on
one successfully after il has been
planned
After having decided upon the gen
eral policy to be followed and the
size Of the appropriation, comes the
planning to secure the greatest adver.
tising value possible per dollar of IN
vestment
Whom must YOU reach to increase
your business Where are thew How
can they be best reached? When and
where win It probably pay best to put
forth the strongest EFFORT? How must
inquiries be handled?
These are only few Of the ques.
tions demanding consideration -and
all Of them must be answered and an.
swered right, II the advertising Is to
pay as 1t should.
Select your advertising medium as
you buy your gooda--for what you
can get out of them. Lay Saide as
much on your prejudice as You can.
for It does not necessarily follow that
the medium that pleases you most is

REPUBLIC ONCE THE COLI MBUS.
Built for the Dominion Line Popular
4. Mediterranean Boat.

(" The Republic was originally named
the Columbus after her launching from
the yard OF HarIand a Wolf at Belfast in
1908 and was intended for the service Of
the Dominion Line between Boston and
Queenstown and Liverpool. After the
Dominion Line became part Of the White
star service her name was changed to
suit the White Star scheme of nomen-
clature. which requires all its vessels
names TO end in &c" She has been plying
on the ton-Mediterranean and Boston,
Liverpool routes several years. Occa-
sionally she went to the Mediterranean
via both New York and Boston. She made
Q regular winter cruise from this port to
the Azores, Madeira and the Mediter-
ranean and always carried large number
Of passengers. She was equipped as some
OIL the best twin screw up TO date liners,
having besides wireless submarine appa-
ratus to tell her commander almost ex-
actly whore he mi sht be 10 dense fog when
IN the neighborhood Of a lightship fitted
with submarine bells.
The Republic was the biggest ship in
the Boston service. She was $40 feet long,
SIS feet beam and drew "a feet when laden
She measured Is. 5.37s tons gross. Her twin
screws, driven by two sets of quadrliple
expansion engines, gave her a speed Of
about 16 knots. She was usually an
eleven day ship TO Naples when her only
stop on the route was Punta Delgada in
the Azores. but on her winter cruise she
took her time. She was due at the Azores
on January 20 and at Gibraltar on FebrI-
AIRY 2 She had aboard 500 tons of pro-
visions for the battleship feet. which
che was TO have transferred to the supply
ship Culgoa at Gibraltar.
The Republic was constructed at cost
OF about 81 200, 900 and was insured for
that amount. II is the policy of the White
Star Line to put aside for the insurance
Of it's vessels from half to third Of their
value, In the case Of the Republic
nearly half the insurance was carried by
the line itself and the rest was divided
among various companies. including
