Three very important "I's" in
advertising copy.
First, THE ATTENTION OF
THE READER MUST BE Sc
CURED. All a publisher can do
is to sell white paper to a read
ing public. 1T IS UP TO THE
ADVERTISER to use that white
paper to gain the attention of
the reader.
If the advertiser can do that,
he meets the FIRST requirement
of good advertising, because
then he has the opportunity to
interest.
The instruction part of it
means that THE ADVERTISE
MENT MUST TELL THE
READER something about the
article advertised which he did
not know before-IT MUST APP
PEAL TO HIS INTELLI-
GENCE,
If the advertisement is IN
TERESTING and INSTRUC-
TIVE, that goes a great way to-
ward SOLVING the advertising
problem.
To interest and instruct is not
enough, however-many adver-
tisements do both, YET LACK
THE POWER TO MOVE, so
are failures.
A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT
must have this third element
strongly developed-it MUST
MOVE THE READER TO BUY
THE GOODS ADVERTISED,
because, after all, that is the
ULTIMATE END of all adver-
Using.
1t is IMPOSSIBLE for any
one to write an advertisement
and be able to say positively
that it will sell goods. THE
| EFFECT OF ANY ADVER-
TISEMENT can never be fore
told with any degree of accu-
racy, because copy that appeals
to one man might not make any
appeal to a dozen others. I
have never met a man yet who
could tell just what result any
advertisement would bring.
But, if the THREE FPS" that
Mr.. Hannah refers to are given
careful consideration before adj
vertising copy is written, the re-
suit ought to be a GOOD AID
VERTISEMENT, that will bring
responses if placed in the right
medium.

asters which befell the Antelopes in
Denver. On past performances, the
Bears had no license to win four
straight games from the Antelopes,
who had previously defeated the Griz-
Fly gang in seven of eleven games
When the players on any ball club
are not pulling together, losing streak
is the natural result. Mixing iudifter-
ence with bad umpiring and the de-
feats at Denver become fairly easy of
understanding. President Despair need
not fear as to the loyalty of the fans
1t is not fattery in any sense to say
that Prexy Don has spared no effort
to give Lincoln a winning team. Nhe
fans know it and appreciate his zeal
That he has the nerve to act when
