The Advertising Game.
It is Simple, but Not So Simple as
Some Imagine.

Advertising is game. 1t can be played By any
man who has intelligence enough to conduct bus-
ness. It is simple to bit it isn't half so mDle as
many men imagine who think they have learned it
before they have graspad the first principles.
Advertising is not game learned by instinct or
intuition. A man does not naturally absorb it when
he buys stock of goods and prepares to sell them
t) the public.
The most successful merchants have given more
attention to learning the advertising game than they
have given to the selection of their stock Any man
can buy stock of goods. Only man who knows
how to advertise his stock can dispose of those goods
To say that the man who does not advertise makes
his painful way toward bankruptcy and leaves the
wide awake fellows with one less competitor is to
state a self evident fact
To ask why the man who does not advertise does
not succeed is to ask foolish question No II IA
The man in business must advertise The busi-
ness man VINO knows least about the advertising
game and how TO play it advertises But he does
not awavs Get results, whereupon he decl res that
advertising does not pay but that he must a vertise
because the other fellow 10. And it never occurs
to him to ask himself why advertising paws some
men and does not pay other men.
He oes not ask that question because he believes
ne knows how to advertise that he can plav the
game Many man has lost on other ventures in
the same way. They don't know how to plav the
game Richard Care once issued book entitled
What Know About Poker. The fifty pages of
the book were blank What lot of men know

day, to show that the many thousands
of successful men who left Iowa for
wider fields have not forgotten her.
They took their last dollar out OF the
state and invested it elsewhere. There
are opportunities everywhere, there
could be real monuments everywhere
to these rarely successful Iowans, who
got the most difficult thing Of all, their
start in Iowa. But the Iowan and the
visitor in Iowa looks for them in vain
They are not coming back. and they
never intended to come back and they
probably do not mean very much Of
what they say when they hold forth
with greater or less eloquence ABOUT
Dear Old Iowa."
There is one solitary exception. W..
c. Brown. formerly OF Burlington, now
the president of the great New York
Central railroad, in some respects the
biggest railroad man in the world.
Mr.. Brown has always remained an
Iowan, and he has repeatedly stated.
that he is coming back to Iowa to
make his home here. and to spend the
evening of his life in useful activity
close to the soil. He knows that he
will be very happy in old Iowa, when
he gets the burdens from his shoulders
and again becomes an Iowa farmer.
He seems to be about the only loyal
son Of Iowa among the thousands who
have gone forth and have won fame
and honor and position and bushels
of sheckels elsewhere. He. the big
gest of them all Is the best OF them
all. And perhaps that is why he be-
came the biggest Of them all.

Would It be advisable to save the
