The Ten Demandments.

A Chicago man who has q large
number of employees under him has
posted up in the various departments
Of his establishment cards which
bear the above caption and the fol-
lowing terse rules. These make it
very plain what he expects and what
he does not expect OF those who draw
salaries from him:
Rule I.-Don't lie-it wastes my
time and yours. I'm sure to catch
you in the end, and that's the wrong
end.
Rule III.-Give me more than I
the clock. A long days work makes
a long day short, and a short days
work makes my face long.
Rule 1I.-Give me more than I
expect and I'll pay you more than
you expect. I can afford to increase
your pay II you increase my profits.
Rule Iv.-You owe so much to
yourself that you can't AFFORD to owe
anybody else. Keep out Of debt or
keep out of my shops.
Rule V.-Dishonesty Is never an
accident. Good men. like good wom-
en-. can't see temptation when they
meet It.
Rule VI.--Mind your own business
and In time you'n have a business of
your own to mind.
Rule VII.-Don't do anything here
which hurts your seif-respect. The
employe who is willing to steal for
me is capable Of stealing from me.
Rule VIII.-It's none Of my busl-
ness what you do at night. But II
dissipation affects what you do the
next day. and you do half as much
as I demand. you'll last half as long
as you hoped.
Rule Ix.-Don't tell me what I'd
like to hear but what ought to hear.
don't want a valet to my vanity,
but need one for my dollars.
Rule x.-Don't kick II I kick-lf
you're worth while correcting, you're
worth while keeping. I don't waste
time cutting speck out Of rotten ap-
ples.-Mail Order Journal.

The ABCa and Of
AsERIEs OF TEN TALKS on ADVERTISING NJ q
written by seymour Eaton of Philadelphia mo. y


The man who succeeds must fill his job so full
that he bulges out a little at the top where people
can see him. The successful store must do the same
thing, only in a different way.
The goods must be on hand the prices must be
right; the service must be commendable; the trading
must be square; the kind of square that has four
equal sides and four right angles.
Every successful store has its trademark whether
the merchant knows it or not. Its advertising and its
service have created a public sentiment in its favor
which neither reverses nor fire nor time can obliter-
ate. Nine times out of ten this trademark is the
stores biggest asset.
Much of the ordinary store advertising is a hand
to-mouth sort of business; an effort to make tomor-
rows sales equal to today's or yesterdays; and this
is just as true of the department store as of the small
er shop. The advertisement appears in the morning
and the merchant figures out the net results in the
evening. 1t is true that the bargain advertisement
of today is Of little, if any, use next week. 1t is for
gotten in twenty-four hours; but If the store makes
a feature of genuine bargains, then each bargain sale
helps to advertise the bargain department. The
advertising ought to be done in such a way as to
permanently advertise the department as well as TO
emphasize the bargains of the day.
Don't 60 at it as if you were advertising an
auction sale. AS | said at the outset, your store is the
seed in the soil; the advertising is the rain and the
sunshine. inexperienced advertisers dig up the seed
every evening to see if it is growing or pull up the
young plant by the roots because it didn't bear fruit
or flowers the first week.
1t is safe to say that not more than e-third of
the people are looking for bargains; the other two
thirds are looking for quality and style. The very fact
that the goods are offered at bargain prices leaves the
impression that there is something wrong with the
quality or that the style is a season behind. Good
advertising should enable a merchant to sell $40 coats
at SIS instead Of SIS coats at $3.50; in other words,
stocks and bonds, the securities quoted above par are
always more desirable in the thought Of the investing
public than are those quoted at a discount.
Advertising is a tremendous force which in action
contradicts all mechanical laws. The circumference
and speed and working power increase, while the
motor remains the same.
Make your advertising continuous. This is the
first great secret of success. Copy and medium and
circulation are all subordinate to keeping everlastingly
at it.
