THIS AN AGE OF ADVERTISING
Professional Men Becoming More
Liberal In Their Views-A
Tale From London.

Almost any ordinary modern bust
ness would die before it was born If
it were forbidden to advertise Yet
there is so-called code of ethics"
among certain professional classes
that forbids all special advertising
and practically all advertising at
all, except by an ordinary business
card in the daily paper The 'regu-
lars" in medicine are particularly
sensitive on this point, often both to
their detriment and to that of their
would-be patients, especially when
the patients are strangers One
reason for this. of course, is the
fiorid advertising so often done by
quack doctors OF various kinds; but
the advertising of useless nostrums Is
hardly a good reason for not adver-
tising things that are genuine, wheth-
er medicines, physicians, or what not.
The Missouri Dental association is
reported as having taken action late
ly to permit its members hereafter to
advertise without losing professional
caste. and the public generally, while
having no particular personal interest
in the matter. is likely to approve the
action. Advertising has become so
popular and so nearly universal that
most people are not likely to be in
sympathy with the idea that the man
who advertises. whatever he his bust
ness or profession. is on a lower pro-
fessional plain than the man who
does not

DO NOT USE BIRD
SHOT" AD METHODS
BY GEORGE 8. sANTA.

Too many merchants with small
appropriation for advertising are
merely aping the methods of adyer
tisers who spend ten or twenty times
as much for the same purpose in the
same community. Such course is
illogical and potitively wasteful, in the
majority of cases. Because the big
advertiser uses two or three or more
newspapers is no sign that another
merchant will only succeed II he uses
the same number. Nor is it sign
that he should spend a few dollars
for calendars. few for signs, few
for mailing cards. and finally contrib
ute few to the scheme" man whom
the big advertiser quietly takes to the
door and bids adieu with push.
The advertiser needs to remember
that his whole purpose is to produce
an impression upon the mind Of the
public To indulge in figure of
speech, this public mind is just like a
coat of armor and the advertiser is
trying to puncture 1t with his adver-
tising. You would not take a shotgun
and load 1t with bird shot II you

piece of steel You would get the
hardest bullet you could find and then
put your whole ammunition into the
charge. Too many advertisers use
"bird-shot" methods and, as a result,
spatter away all of their money to
little avail.
Concentrate your advertising. If
you do not have much to spend, cut
out everything else and take more
space in the best paper in your town.
Use large advertisements with attrac-
tive illustrations and make every ad-
vertisement live message about your
store and your business. Whatever
you do. do with force enough to pro-
duce an impression Don't initiate, but
be yourself. Take a pride in adyer-
ttsing In your own way. Remember,
you have lot of people to reach and
you need to go after them with a log
1cal course of advertising. 1t does not
matter that no one else writes his ad-
vertisements the way that you do nor
that you insist on having certain
kind of display that no one else has.
That is something to be proud of, be-
cause you may be sure it will pay you
far better than any imitation you
might get up on the best known adver-
tising in the country

ONE ON THE OLD GENTLEMAN
Absolute Fact Destroyed Force Of
WeII-Meant Argument for
Temperance.

On a pleasant Sunday afternoon an
old German and his youngest son
were seated in the village inn. The
father had partaken literally Of the
home-brewed beer. and was warning
his son against the evils Of intem-
perance. Never drink too much, my
son. A gentleman stops when he
has enough. To be drunk is dis

when l have enough or am drunk?"

MODERN PAPER GREAT TORCH
EnIightens Business Advertising as
Well as DissemInates News-Non-
Advertiser Handicapped.

When you have goods to sell the
first necessity is to let as many
people know it as possible, and as
soon as possible" said Mr. Wilson
Scott of Paterson, N. j.. in a letter
that he wrote to me the other day.
Continuing, he said:
The most practical way to do that
is unquestionably by printed an
nouncements.
"A sign In front Of a place of bust
ness would inform limited number
of people-printed hand-bills would
tell 1t to larger number. but a
well-written description Of his goods
in daily newspaper would be read
by great many thousand times as
many people, and, best of all, they
will read 1t in a more leisurely man.
ner.
The advantage of advertising in a
newspaper is that the copy can be
varied in its wording every day"
Mr. Scott suggests to the merchant
that he apply as much thought to his
advertising as he does to the selec-
tion of his goods. Then he ought to
be sure to put his advertisement in
newspapers that are read by the
class Of people to whom he wants to
sell his goods.
He said that newspapers should be
used that reach the homes-newspa-
pers that have a clean bright, whole
some appearance, printed on good
quality of paper-newspapers that
can be taken home where dirty,
flimsy newspaper never gets an en-
trance.
The modern, up-to-date newspa-
per, he continued "is great torch
of enlightenment no less in business
advertising than in the dissemination
of news and education.
THE merchant who does not ad-
vertise in good newspaper is handi-
capped in the commercial race by
him who does advertise He is kept
in the background. He should pur-
chase some prominence for prom
inence is as essential to success as
honest dealing"
1t is better to have both The
prominence he should purchase is
advertising in the daily newspaper.
