which were spread several sheets of
paper.

Go II, Old Massachusetts

Massachusetts has rat
thrill, aud mighty good one.
Her people are firing of the
pavements and actually going
back to the land-not merely
talking about it, but going!
Sales of farming lands mere
than doubled in 1910.
The old Bay State is actually
getting "cocky" about her agri.
cultural prowess. She claims
an average yield of 1914 bushels
of corn against 1873 for Illinois
and 27.8 for Kansas. Swapping
her fingers at the corn belt!
How's that?
She even tackles Texas-yes,
and California! Hear her:
"Texas, with an area of Guilt
waited land 40 times as large,
produces crops worth but three
times as much as Massa-
chusetts. A nd California,
whose titled lands have nine
times the area that our state
has, gets only three times as
r.uch as we do, even including
her famous fruit crops"
Well, we'll!
But the dear old Puritans are
most inspiring when they talk
of little farms and intensive
cultivation. They say they
have, within so miles of Boston,
uncultivated lands that could
be made to feed the population
of 100000 to 100000 living
within that district. But would
it pay to feed 'em? Listen
again:
"Over 1000 has come from
less than two acres of canta.
loupes. A half-acre strawberry
patch will yield about 5000
quarts, worth close to 5000. We
have thousands of acres of as.
paragus producing crops worth
$500 to $500 an acre. A four-acre
market garden is producing
over $4,000 a year." etc.
Go it, old Massachusetts,!
Reverse your policy of send
ing the bright boy to college
and keeping the silly boy on

on the farm and in genera.
ton he will create new Mas.
sachusetts whose glory shall
consist less in factories and
tenements than in the myriad
homes of independent men who
work for themselves.

Mr.. Business Man, the stand.
ard by which we measure the
quality of advertisements is
RESULTS. No matter how
carefully worded or beautifully
typed, if the lad" fails to bring
business it is worthless. 1t
must lead customers to the
store and interest them i n
goods. The purpose of retail
lads" is to inform. People read
them to learn what new and
good things are on sale, their
cost and where they are to be
purchased. The lad" that does
not give definite information is
a failure. In many lads" what
thought 10 there that will be
remembered, that will lead the
reader to come to the store and
buy7 They are little better
than blank space, and yet
thousands of retail lads" are
on this "See Our Line" and
watch This Space" order. To
see space wasted in this way is
shocking to the city advertiser
who pays four or five dollars
per inch and puzzles his brain
to use every particle of it. One
man politely requests the pub
lie to come to his store and
search throughout his shelves
and cases to find out what he
wants and ought to buy. You
can assure yourself that no one
is going to take this trouble
when the mail order houses
and city merchants carry this
information to him. How much
better if these spaces had been
occupied with descriptions and
prices of the goods on sale!
Each headline is a properly
worded "ad" in an index to the
body of the lad" and commands
the attention of those needing
the goods named therein. A
headline like "What We Offer -
is so general and meaningless
as to lead few people to read
further, even from curiosity.
The illustrations of all good
lads" are striking and artistic
and correctly picture the ar
ticles described. The tell at q
glance what the lad" treats of.
lad" cuts are often ridiculous,
offensive to good taste and d.
rect no attention to the con.
tents of the "ad." Sometimes
an lad" is as confusing as a
Chinese puzzle. Headlines
stick out everywhere and CEN
ter attention on nothing. 1t
looks as though the printer had
tried to work specimens of all
his type into it. The reader is
asked to think a little about all
kinds of goods and consequent
ly remembers none. Contrast
this with an lad" which, al
though a larger space, has but
two headlines and deals with
but one line of merchandise.
The ideal small lad" tells about
a single article. When one
reads it, he receives complete
information about the goods
which the merchant has to Of
fer, with the price, and can
judge the values quite as we'll
