NOT ASHAMED OF HIS GOODS
Why One Business Man Advertised
and Prefers Newspapers to
Other Mediums.

This is the manner In which a
Michigan business man explains why
he advertises and why he uses news
papers in preference to any other
medium:
Il advertise in the newspapers be-
cause i am not ashamed of my goods
or my work and to let people know
about myself, my store and my stock;
because l cater to the intelligent
class and they read the papers, and I
believe in increasing my business;
because can talk to more peoples
through the newspapers at a greater
distance in less time and at more
reasonable price than in any other
way; because my newspaper adver-
Using has brought me greater returns
for the least expenditure of any
vertising have done; because Vi ~

medium or to have 1t inserted SO YfS

A DRUGGIST AND AN AID MAN
How 1000 People In a Town of $4,000
Were Induced to Visit For
mer's Store In One Day.

There is a druggist ia Schenectady
named Quinn. He opened up there a
year ago. He believed in newspaper
advertising in modest way and fig
ured on doing about $500 worth OF It,
There is also in Schenectady a
newspaper called the Schenectady Ga
zette. 1t has an advertising manager
who reads, thinks and writes advertis'
ing. His name is Aver.
When Mr.. Quinn, the druggist, be-
gan advertising he became an object
of special interest to Mr.. Aver, the
advertising man.
Now, in the equipment of the Ga
zette Is a weekly cut service; on the
advertising managers table are the
leading advertisements Of the coun-
try; in the advertising managers
brain there is an unusual fertility Of
practical ideas.
So Mr.. Quinn, the druggist, looked at
Mr.. Ayers copy, and 1t was good. He
tried 1t, which was better. He tried
often, and the drug store became the
center of interest. Then he forgot the
expenditures in attending to business,
wisely figuring that If he kept busy
the advertising bill would take care Of
itself.
Three months after he started 1000
people called and bought at the drug
store In one day! This in a city Of
$4,000! The entire advertising in one
year was only $1,000 and the business
is now established and fiourishing
How was 1t done2 For the first six
weeks the copy talked only Of a drug
store Of good service. Every phase
Of this was given space. Then came
a sale of silverware articles, all at a
little over cost and well worth the
money. More service" advertise
ments followed Then 60-cent box
of candy was given away with every
60-cent purchase or over. This was
really the work of budding genius.
Special displays were made of articles
selling at or over 60 cents. They were
goods carrying enough profit to stand
the cost Of the candy, or nearly SO.
They suggested the thing to be pur-
chased and nearly every purchaser
bought from the list. Over 1000
boxes Of candy were given away and
1t actually cost but little over the
store expenses Of the day!
So Quinn, the druggist, fiourishes in
his adopted city. Does he believe in
advertising? Certainly. He believes
in the Schenectady Gazette, too. He
says one is as good as the other and
each is perfect in kind.
The drug stores are valuable ad-
vertisers. There are lots of Quinns
waiting and this tells the story Of
what one Quinn did.

more pleasant, and was considered a
