The battles Of advertising are not
won today by men with the largest
forces.
Three times in FIVE they are won by
men who start with but limited re-
sources. Five times in five, when rightly
directed, they are won without any
large risk. In good many cases there
is no stake at all.
There Is no long waiting serious
uncertainty no drawn-out period
when expense overtops result. One
gets his answer Immediately.
Most successful advertising pays divi-
dends from the start. Impossible
things are not started at all.
And a pretty large part of moderately
advertising finances itself.
Nation wide distribution and q
profitable sale are attained in two
months, sometimes.
Weeks do the work of years. Midgets
grow to monsters with amazing rapid
ity. Trade conditions are changed
overnight.
Formidable competition, long In
trenched, has been almost wiped out
by single maneuver.
All because Of newborn science,
called Strategy in Advertising.
An advertising campaign Of the mod
ern kind is based on exact information.
The attitude Of consumers is learned
by house : to = house canvass. Trade
conditions and competition are learned
by dealer canvass. Selling points are
developed by actual selling.
Ten thousand sources are sometimes
searched for light on single problem.

Haynes ENTHUSIASTIC
over JUDITH BASIN
IMMIGRATION AGENT SAYS
HE NEVER SAW FINER
CROPS.

George B. Haynes, general i'm
migration agent for the Chicago, Mil
wuakee & St. Paul, spent yesterday
in this city, renewing acquaintance
and looking over the city and sur
rounding country. He left for the
East today, carrying with him first
hand knowledge OF the crop condi
tions here.
Mr.. Haynes was one OF the first OF
the big eastern railroad men to realize
the agricultural possibilities OF the
Judith Basin, and ever since his road
started the Puget Sound extension,
he has been spending a large portion
OF his time boosting this particular
section OF country, both personally
and through the medium OF his posi-
ton. He has been one OF the chief
factors in the expenditure Of more
than one hundred thousand dollars
by his company i'll advertising the
Basin, and millions Of dollars of east
ern money and thousands Of eastern
homeseekers have been brought to the
country by reason of this generous
advertising policy.
my friends back in Chicago and
elsewhere in the East thought that
was surely locoed,' as you would
call it, when l told them three or
four years ago about the Judith Basin,
what crops can be grown here and
what will be raised when the coun-
try is developed said Mr.. Haynes
to the Democrat last night. 1T is
pleasing to know, therefore. that
was most conservative in every state
ment made and that already the Basin
is more than making good in every
particular. Never in all of my travels
| through different parts Of the United
States have | ever seen such crops
| of grain as are now growing here in
this county. | had received glowing
| reports from my friends out this way,
but one has to see for himself in
order to appreciate actual conditions.
It hardly seems possible that any
thing can now intervene to preven.
your ranchers from raising one OF
the greatest grain crops ever grown
| i'll any country. The winter wheat
is practically made and it will require
but little more moisture to bring out
the spring grain equally as well.
MIR. Reynolds, OF our city. has
mentioned to me one question which
must be taken into consideration at
once The Judith Basin farmers are
going to need help and lot of it to
harvest this grain crop. He estimates
that you shall need between three and
four thousand additional laborers IN
vuor harvest fields. and our company

Nothing is being omitted or over

Earring. of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railroad company, together
with number of directors and other
large stockholders i'll that company,
will leave Seattle. Wash, June 27, for
Lewistown. They will come directly
to this city, ii they follow out their
present plan, and there are hopes that
some definite information concerning
their intentions with reference to con-
struction work on the lines centering
III this city will then be given out.
Some Of the officials Of the en-
gineering department were in Great
Falls the latter part OF last week and
il IS understood, made an extended
auto trip over the proposed route out
oi that city and toward Lcwistown.
They spent some time investigating
the Arrow creek country. where the
chief engineering difficulties are ex-

city into the Kendall country viii

There is about an equal chance for
the completion OF the eastern line as
| far. at least, as Grass Range, while
| it is not altogether improbable that
the coming OF the officials to Lewis
town will be productive Of some
cheering news regarding plans for
early operations on the Lcwistown-
| Great Falls line
It is also learned that the company
has already set aside the sum Of one
thousand dollars per mile TO be used
in improving the line between this
city and Harlowton This sum is ex-
elusive Of the money TO be spent in
laying heavier steel, which is one Or
the improvements contemplated.
