RELATIVE ADVERTISING VALUE
Newspaper Only Means That Gives
the Chance for Thoughtful Pre-
sentatlon Of Business News.

The number of merchants who will
SIT down and seriously argue that II
does not pay to advertise, is not half
so great today as II was five years
ago. The fortunes that have been ac-
cumulated by successful advertising,
the direct response of the buying pub
lie to judicious publicity, are such ap-
parent facts as 10 have convinced a
large share of the former doubters.
But occasionally there is a merchant
who gets 1t into his head that there Is
zome method of getting at the public
through some means other than news
paper space. There is some serious
objection to every such method. Bill
board advertising runs up against the
growing hostility to the disfiguring Of
nature and our public streets. Many
people have resolved not to patronize
business houses guilty OF this dis
hguring form of advertising. Further
more, there is no chance to quote
prices and describe goods in this
method Of advertising in any rational
way. There is no logic in the bill
board. The latter point applies to pro-
gram advertising. It is not advertising.
merely mental jolt. 1t does absolute
ly nothing to convince the reader that
you have bargains. Handful adver-
tising, without newspaper space to
back It up, looks undeniably cheap.
Street car advertising is not read by
one-tenth OF the population of any city
in which It is used. Figure it out for
yourself. One-half of the people Of
Charleston do not ride in the cars
more than once a week. The other
one-half haven't time to read the ad-
vertising that appears directly over
their heads. The newspaper goes into
90 per cent. of the homes and busi-
ness houses and Offices in Charleston.
People who do not subscribe for the
paper and receive 1t regularly usually
send out and borrow 1t in order to
read the advertisements as well as
the news items appearing therein. 1t
is the newspaper only that gives the
chance for thoughtful presentation Of
business news.

Annronrlate Hmm.

The worshipers in certain church
had some trouble to keep their faces
straight short time ago. During the
service some commotion was caused
by a gentleman who accidentally ig-
nited box of wax matches in his
pocket, and was trying to put them
out, while his alarmed neighbors
struggled equally hard to help him.
The minister, being short-sighted,
could not make out the reason Of the
disturbance, and thinking to diplomat
leally cover the incident, he innocently
said:

going on. Until it is over let us sing

Where MANY Fail.

There are many people in business
today who can select goods needed by
the people and buy them at the right
price. They can also sell them when
they get a customer before the coun-
ter But they fail to do a paying bust
ness because they do not make them
selves or their store well known in
the community. They may be honest
and deal fair but the people do not
know it. They fail because they are
too timid to blow their own horns" :"
No business was ever built up on the
floating trade from their sidewalk.

Save in few business concerns
great concerns, Harrods. the army
and navy stores and the like, what
a strange welter is In our whole sys-
tenn of payment for work-more espe-
cially in the higher branches of work!
Art and literary work are terrible ex-
amples of this confusion and want of
science, writes pessimist in the Lon
don Saturday Review. The payments
to many OF the best workers in those
barren fields are so bad that a man
is quite sanguine If he sees not at the
end of his career the madhouse or the
pauper's grave.
If he paint without genius, paint
or may, by attracting an ignorant pub
lie, make himself secure. II he write
without individuality or real force, the
writer may likewise make himself Sc
cure by driving hard bargains with
those who buy and sell his wares.
But for the most part good work in
these branches is the work Of sensi-
tive men, who are still children in
money matters and who shrink from
bargaining. Politics and public life
and business makes q much better
game than art or letters.
