NECESSARY EXPENSE.

An article "On the Selling Line" in
the Saturday Evening Post Of April 80
should be read by every merchant, as
it describes the why and wherefore of
profit making by retailers.
In this article It is stated that thir-
teen Of the New York department
stores spend $3.50, 900 a month in
newspaper advertising. The average
amount spent by each firm is one and
a half per cent OF gross sales. The test
of the advertisement is the amount Of
business 1t brings as compared with
the amount done on the same day of
the previous year.
THE smart advertiser" SAYS the
writer. does not know how much he
does spend. If he secures a large vol
ume of business through advertising,
he is satisfied. On the whole, the
amount Of money devoted to advertis-
ing in small towns and cities. espec-
tally in the west, is too small An ad-
vertising appropriation Of $1,000 or
$1,000 each year should not under
normal conditions be excessive for a
town Of 5000. There are many Iegit- |
innate promotion ideas which the pub |
lie and small towns take to kindly, and 1
they can be put into execution at a 1
cost of not over three to five per cent I
Of the gross sales.
THE successful dealer spends i'm
printers ink all the way from prac-
tically nothing up to five per cent Of
his annual sales, the former when To-
cation and windows are exceptionally
good. Under average conditions, be-
ginners should spend from one to one
and half per cent of their annual
sales in newspapers; perhaps two per
per cent would be better.

blay's grand defiance he was unable
to hold them.
Miller was far too clever for his OPP
ponent and showed that he knew all the
tricks Of the game.
The crowd were thoroughly worked
up as the bout progressed and were
yelling Justly. Miller tried throughout
the hour with all his skill to pin Trem-
blay's shoulders to the mat but the
latter always got out. Miller was al
ways the aggressor but the lighter man
superior in his defiance. The st. Paul
wrestler was working harder than ever
at the finish and both men were pre-
spring freely. One of the most ex-
citing moments came near the finish
when Miller stood Tremblay on his
head and only the marvellous defiance
of the Montreal man saved him from
being pinned. Miller weighed in at
las pounds and Tremblay at 1876
pounds.
Fifteen hundred people were sorely
disappointed when 1t was announced
that Frank Gotch had wired Young
Miller to the effect that he was called
to Chicago on business although the
management had freely used the pap
ers saying he was to referee the match.

RATTLE Scheme
Held BONAFIDE

st. Louis, May 9.-Circuit Attorney
Seebert g. Jones stated to The Times
Wednesday that he would not prosecute
any cases the police may bring against
Charles L. Geraghty, the Easton avenue
liveryman, who is promoting a rattle
scheme to get st. Louisians TO the JEFF
fries johnson fight in Frisco, July 4,
Geraghtys scheme Isl patterned after
the New York idea. 1t consists Of a
pasteboard box with 200 holes, number
ed from one to 200. Persons wishing
to take chance punch one of these
holes and pay an amount equivalent to
the number in the hole punched. When
the box Is sold out, drawing is held,
and one of the 200 goes to the fight.
This, Mr.. Jones holds is not money
raising scheme, and therefore comes in
the same category as church raffes or
guessing contests promoted by mercan-
tile houses as an advertising scheme.
Speaking on the subject Wednesday,
Mr.. Jones said:
''Mr. Geraghty is not trying to make
money out Of this scheme, and there
fore see no reason why the idea
should be suppressed. 1t is, however,
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-05-09

a technical violation Of the law, just
the same as rattle at church social
or any one OF the many advertising
schemes got up by business houses.
These things are not started with the
idea of making money, nor do the pro-
motors depend on them as means OF
livelihood. It is simply a side issue,
and in this instance, believe, was
started out OF civic PRIDE"
Continuing Mr.. Jones said that the
police had no right to order Geraghty
to withdraw his pasteboard boxes, and
that Geraghty can tell the police to
mind their own business.

Young Mitchell has performed won
