How Tommy Pound IL.

Smaller Hats for Easter.

All womankind seems to rejoice, SAYS
the D~elineator, at the return Of the small
and the medium-sized hats to popular IA
ways convenient. While the smaller hat
is unmistakably to the fore at present. It
does not follow that the larger hat is out
entirely, by any means, but simply that
woman's better Judgment and taste have
assigned 1t to its rightful place as a hat
distinctly for dress. Fine and coarse straw,
fancy braid and silk are used to build the
spring toQues and turbans that replace the
winter chapeau of fur. TO which the
shape of the newer hat is also similar in
its general line.
A pronounced feature OF the spring hats
is the comparative simplicity OF the trim
ming, which at the same time is extremely
stylish. Large flower-like ~rosettes of soft
silk sometimes cover the entire side of a
hat and are relieved with sprays OF leaves
and flowers. Other rosettes and quilted
ribbon often constitute the only trimming.
Flowers, as usual, are important in con-
nection with spring headwear and wings

The turbans and other smaller hats are

To the Man

Worth Selling

A single selling argument which a manufacturer has
given little prominence has often been the secret of greatly
increased sales when given greater importance by the sales
men and featured more strongly in the publicity OF the house.
In one instance, by simply changing the headings of
a series of advertisements which had not brought satisfactory
returns we succeeded in increasing their reSult-bringingp power
sou. The point of weakness was revealed through our meth
DDS of data Gathering" and Conference opy-Writing."
Should you commission us to handle your advertising
appropriation we would make a careful analysis of your sell
ing proposition and build from the data thus secured our
plans for exploiting your goods through the channels of legi6-
mate publicity.
When we presented the first draft of our plan you
would doubtless find points to critcise. On the other hand,
we would certainly find some brand new talking points for
your goods or discover a more effective way of exploiting
them.
When the campaign was finished it would represent
