PUNCH IN ADVERTISING

one who wants to do you bodily
injury, if you are the average Am
erican man, you straighten out your
body and give the miscreant a direct
. hit from the shoulder that lays him
out-a candidate for the hospital.
That is called punch.
But there are other kinds Of punch.
Every kind Of human action origin
ated by human being may be strong
or weak according to the energy put
into it by the person. The effect Of
those actions on the rest Of the
world, or on any particular person,
when those actions make a deep and
paralyzing impression, is called
punch. We talk about the punch Of
a theatrical play, meaning the strong
permanent blow of it's action on the
feelings of the audience. A story
has punch and the most ordinary
clerk in your store can give punch to
his daily work and life that will leave
a lasting impression on the people
with whom he comes into contact. It
is punch that makes you successful
without punch you cannot even
hope to start on the. road to prosper
ity.
Punch should enter into every ac-
ton Of your life. If you pray, put
punch into it. If you sell goods in
your store, put punch into the selling
talk. Punch shows sincerity just the
same as that blow from the shoulder
on the part Of the man. If you look
woman or man in the face, and put
punch into the arguments and sug-
gestions you use to sell your goods,
you will create an impression that
you believe in what you sell and that
fact alone goes long way towards
contamination of the sale.
When you look carefully over the
written accounts of the men and wo-
men who have made history and been
really great in all walks Of life, you
will find innumerable instances of
punch, showing clearly that success
was built on it, as much as on their
other actions.
Many men and women believe all
that is necessary to secure success in
life is to conceive an idea or set of
ideas and carry out the actions in
connection Herewith along we'll dein-
ed rules. They even become initiative
and follow the rules laid down by the
great men and women I have enum-
Grated. That is the road to failure.
No matter how good your plans are
or we'll laid the methods of carrying
them out, you must put punch into

The Most Beautiful City.

To ask for the name of the ''most

very large and difficult question
There are a great many very beautiful
cities in the world. each of which

by the score in every country of the

their execution to make them sue
cessful.
When you want to make your bus
mess success, and you know that
the highest grade Of craftsmanship,
both inside and outside your store is
necessary to that success sure
you also allow for punch in the ex-
ecution Of your plans. In your pub
LEFTY, for instance, you need punch
in the craftsmanship used. No mat
ter what you business, you require
punch in that craftsmanship to i'm
press your goods on the minds Of
the people and make them remember
You sufficiently long and earnestly
to buy. 1t is just the same punch
as is referred to in connection with
the theatrical play. Unless that play
has punch it would not leave a suf-
ficiently good impression on the play
goers to make them criticise it to its
advantage. Use punch, then, in your
advertisements. Punch HON G
straight from the shoulder into the
minds Of the prospective customer
and he or she will remember you
longer and more favorably than all
possible rivals.
AS you already know, there are
four points to a successful adver-
tisement that must be made opera
tive before it can be successful. II
must capture the attention of the
prospective customer; it will have tc
create interest in his or her mind and
it must afterwards bring conviction
that the goods are what they are re-
presented to be and that they are
needed by the prospect. Lastly, the
advertisement must cause the actual
purchase of the goods.
Any man who has studied adver-
Using closely can very easily com.
bine all those principles in some sor,
of a way, but it requires an expert
to combine them successfully.
A salesman in your store may cas-.
lily apply all the rules Of selling te
the customer that comes in, but ht
may not be successful through lack
Of forcefulness-punch. It is thu
same with an advertisement. You
need punch - the appearance Of
forceful honesty and convincing
power in the wording and expression
of the ad to bring the results thai
you have right to expect from it.
It is punch that makes all the diff.
ference between success and failur,
in the advertisements Of our creates
retailers. It is punch that will brins
success to you through your an
Inducements.
A good way to get advertisement:
that have not only the necessar,
punch but that are constructed in ev
cry way to bring results is to buy 4:
syndicated advertising service. Thi:
service is offered in a series of So
one advertisement for each week il
the year. Each ad is supplied alon&
with an attention compelling copper
plate cut, the ILLUSTRATION dawn by ,
high priced artist. The whole series
has been constructed by an advertis
ing expert with a national reputatio,
who has made success for many 9th
Ell merchants in the same position a!
yourself. It would be impossible t,
buy those advertisements for the low
price at which they are sold-fron
one dollar per week up-but for tn
large numbers Of each kind that ar
sold to thousands of retailers thru
out the country. Only one merchan

Three young men were her principal

to bestow her smiles on Antoine Mar
Gel. Chambers, who was very much
in love with her, found it difficult to
confine his expressions of discomfort to
her. showing considerable antagonism
to his rival. While Marcel was waltz

A New Orleans Girl Is Led to

New Orleans during the early part
Of the nineteenth century was a gay
city Of a foreign type. It was a min.
iature Paris. The people, mostly Of
French extraction, were ready to dance
or. fight with equal zest. They were
all high strung and the slightest pro.
vocation was sufficient to send two
men off to a wood on the outskirts of
the city. where they settled the matter
with weapons
There came at this time from France
an old gentleman. Francois Desoix.
and his daughter Antoinette. Whether
or no. she having been born not long
after the i'll fated queen Of France lost
her head. Antoinette's father. who was
stanch royalist. gave her the name
In honor Of the sovereign he adored
I cannot say. Nevertheless. this story
indicates that there was malign In
fluence hanging over Anto:nette De.
soix. .
1t was generally understood that De
soix dropped title on leaving France
and that he was an emigre-one of
those royalists who fed at the time
Of the revolution to save their heads.
His wife had died abroad. and his
daughter was his only consolation. She
had been born and lived in the south
Of France, and her nature partook of
the climate. Later she and her father
had lived In Paris.
In those days certain functions were
in vogue in American cities that have
long ago passed out Soirees were Civ

father. was the belle of the evening.
