tract attention is exploded. AS
matter of fact, a comic cut does more
harm to the advertisement than good,
for it makes the whole advertisement
laughable and when people laugh at
a thing they seldom buy it. 1t is un-
fortunate that many merchants do not
realize this even now. A good joke
in picture form still appears to many
of them TO be the same of successful
publicity. But they are learning.
There are now one or two concerns
who, with strong financial backing,
supply retail merchants with adver-
tisements illustrated by the best ar
fists and written by advertising ex-
perts who have specially dedicated
themselves to the work and who are
paid large salaries for their services.
The advertisements supplied by those
firms are Of the same grade as those
used by the large department stores
and national advertisers; they are
scientifically correct and are guaran-
teed to bring the retailer the maxi
mum of returns. They are supplied
t. the local merchant with the sole
right of use in his own locally.
Owing to the enormous number
sold of each advertisement, they can
be purchased at a nominal cost, even
as low as one dollar a week. If the
merchant wanted to have the same
ads written for his own individual use
they would cost him about $500 each.
The sale of this new style of up-to-
date advertising is growing enormous
E. 1t is being used in thousands of
towns throughout the country and
there are about $50 high grade sales
men selling it daily.
The nature of this new up-to-date
advertising service will be seen by
the reduced fac similees of adver-
uSements shown at the top of this
column.
This new style of advertising is cal
ed Syndicated Advertising Service,
and its development is the latest evo-
luton of retail publicity.
The local retailer has seldom the
ability to write salesmanship for his
newspaper space. It requires special
training to write advertisements that
sell the goods, Just as it necessitates
training to practice law or medicine.
When your body is sick you do not
try to cure yourself, you take medi-
cal advice and apply the treatment
that is given you by the trained ply
sician. If you are wise, you apply the
same principle to your sick business,
you use the medicine-successfu
salesmanship in your local newspa-
per prescribed for you by the adver
tising expert.
The highest grade of expert publ
city service in this country today is
embodied in this new syndicated ad-
vertising service. High priced men
with national reputation in the retail
advertising field are constructing
these advertisements, and the mer-
chant who uses them perSistently and
constantly in his local newspaper, is
long way on the road to financial
independence.
Full particulars of this new syndi-
Gated advertising will be supplied by
the editor of this paper. Get them
today. Their application will mater

newspaper space 100 per cent value

Recently, before the Rochester IN.
~ Advertising Club, Julius Schneide
for some time advertising manager of
"The Fair of Chicago, and one of
the best known retail advertising mel
in the country, gave a lecture on
"The Next Evolution in Advertising.
He stated that, in his opinion, this
was the awakening of the local ad-
vertisers of the necessity for high
grade advertising service such as had
made fortunes for the large stores in
the big cities. He advised the mer-
chants in each locality to join forces
and engage the best advertising talent
on a cooperative basis, and pointed
out that this really must happen in a
very short period as natural advance
Of the times.
Mr.. Schneider and others evidently
do not know that this evolution to.
wards high grade special service has
been taking place for some time. II
began with what are called "Cut Ser.
vices That is, an engraving house
in one of the bigger cities would gel
out a number of more or less comic
advertising cuts, wretchedly drawn b,
tenth-rate artist, which it sold to a
retailer, sometimes with a little ad
vertising matter, in a series of 26 OF
50, one cut for each week in the
year.
While this was all educative, anC
as such deserves some credit, it has
done more harm amongst retailers, t
the value of real publicity, than any
thing else.
There are a great many of my read
ers who now have boxes of such cuts
lying around their stores with nc
clear idea of what to do with them
and even yet those small cut ser
vices are being sold to deluded mer
chants by glib travelling statesmen.
Another herald of the new specia
retail advertising was the local writ
er. He is also evoluting. He has
been getting better every year til
now, in some ways, he is quite &C
complished. In the majority of cases
however, the local ad writer has beer
somewhat like Our Johnnie who
has won a prize for drawing b'gosh
and who forthwith blossoms out into
famous artiSt-locally. This class o.
publicity has likewise done its share
III giving the retail merchant colo
feet. The local advertisement writer
has been mostly shining example O
the trite saying "a little knowledge is
dangerous thing
The next phase in the evolution
was one that bid fair to solve all diff
ficulties. About a year or two ago a
famous artist who had made a repu
tation for a comic series of newspa
/, per pictures was INDUCED to draw his
comics into advertisements. Those
were syndicated in electrotype form
all through the United States and
Canada to all classes of retailers, the
large quantity sold Of each electro
type making it possible to quote ex
tremely low prices to the local ner
chants. That was the next rise il
grade from the old comic cuts of the
local engravers, because these draw
ings were well done by a first class
artist Of acknowledged standing
We have now advanced one steI
further. The idea that it is neces
sary to have a comic drawing to at
