SOME HINTS TO AD-WRITERS
Use Same Language as When Speak
ing to a Customer-lmportanc
Of Firm Name.

A newspaper advertisement should
be just as explicit as a salesman, the
advantage being that while a clerk can
talk to only one individual at time
an ordinary issue of a newspaper car
ries the same story to many.
q In newspaper advertisements
writer's frequently shoot over the
heads of their readers. often generaliz-
ing. whereas pointed and explicit in
formation should be given in exact
Iy the same language that would be
ed matter merely having the advan-
tage of rendering repetition unneces-
sary, as is frequently necessary when
talking to customer in order to en-
phasize the good points of the arti-
Gle he is trying to sell
My judgment, says writer in the
Montreal Herald, Is that big space
should always be used. One big, bold
advertisement Is worthy many small
ones Every eye will catch the big
dvertisement-only those who study
the newspaper carefully will see the
small ones The latter need constant
repetition to be effective. BY big
space ] mean at least one-quarter or
one-third of newspaper page. Anoth-
er advantage Of the big advertisement
is that once the eye Is arrested the
mind is at once placed In a receptive
mood.
| consider the firm name next only
in Importance to the heading of the
advertisement. The subject-matter
and heading are OF first Importance
next to fix and constantly keep the
firm name before the public.

New Mexico.

Three shifts were recently started
on the lower tunnel in Gold Dust
mines, at Mogollon, which will inter-
sect the vein 45O feet below the first
tunnel.
Good progress is being made In al
terations in mill at Enterprise mines
at Mogollon and some additional,
special machinery will soon be
shipped.
1t is reported that an order is about
to be placed by the Socorro mines at
Mogollon for De La Verne high COM
preston oil engines to supplant the
wood burning engines on Whitewater
creek, which will later be followed by
a hydraulic installation. The reduc-
ton plant continues its large ship
ments of bullion and concentrates.

AMPLE PROOF OF THEORY
Found In Fact That Most Success
full Men Believe in it.

The man who conducts his business
on the theory that 1t doesn't pay and
he can't afford to advertise sets up his
Judgment in opposition to that of all
the best business men In the world.
Says an experienced advertising au-
thority: with few years expert
ence in conducting small business
on a few thousands Of capital, he as
sumes to know more than thousands
whose hourly transactions aggregate
more than his do in a year, and who
have made their millions by pursuing
a course that he says doesn't pay"
If advertising doesn't pay. why is it
that the most successful merchants of
every town, large or small, are the
heaviest advertisers? If advertising
doesn't pay, who does the most bust
ness? II it does not pay, business
firms in the world spend millions in
that way. Is it because they want to
donate those millions to the newspa-
per and magazine publishers, or be-
cause they don't know as much about
business as the six-for-a dollar mer-
chant who says money spent in ad-
vertising is thrown away or donated
to the man to whom 1t Is paid? Such
talk is simply ridiculous and 1t re-
requires more than the average pa
tience to discuss the proposition of
whether advertising pays or not with
that kind of a man. His complacent
Nself-conceit In assuming that he knows
more than the whole world Is laugh
able and reminds US Of the man who
proved that che world doesn't revolve
by placing a pumpkin on stump and
watching 1t all night.

WITHOUT ADVERTISING, WHAT
Goods Would Soon Grow Stale on
SheIves-spending Money for
Newspaper Space Not Charity.

A decision handed down by the Su-
preme court st Madison. Wis, de-
creed that contracts for advertising in
Sunday newspapers are invalid in Wis
copsin. Doubtless this would be the
finding in other states were the mat
ter brought to Issue. The case was
that Of the Milwaukee Sentinel VS.. the
Milwaukee Vehicle Co. to recover on
a Sunday advertising contract. The
court held that the contract was void
because advertising Is not a work of
charity or necessity"
To Judge of the attitude in some
towns. comments the Pacific Printer.
advertising would appear to be a
work of charity, according to the wall
advertisers, when solicited for local
columns. 1t would seem. also, that
others shared the view that advertis-
Ing is not a necessity; hence must be
a luxury The fact is. however. that it
is necessity of growth in business.
Without it. what? The world goes by
on the other side and enters the store
The sales fall off; the goods grow
stale on the shelves; flies take pos
session of the sweet words on the Ia
bells which. In themselves. would ad-
vertise II anyone were permitted to
call and read. Time passes; the rent
accumulates as debt against the
store; the bills pile up like Ice in a
gorge. Without advertising, what?
The answer is various perhaps, in its
details, but to one end. We all know
this is true and that 1t ought, In nor
NAL justice, to be true. The progress
sive merchant willing to earn his
profits, is willing to adopt the neces'
sary means and surely advertising is
of these, the one which looms the
largest, and properly performed, yields
the biggest returns. THE man who
doesn't make mistakes doesn't make
anything" says a wise saw; and well
add these new teeth to this old saw:
THE man who doesn't do advertising
doesn't do anything"

ADVERTISING is
NOT EXPENSIVE.
BY GEORGE s. BANTA.

II is a fact no longer disput-
ed that advertising is a great
economical force In the distri-
button Of manufactured prod
uets. Far from being expensive
to the manufacturer, it widens
his market and enables him to
place his goods at 4 lower cost
than no otherwise could.
But there are some people
who still question whether a
retail merchant can afford to
advertise. Many merchant
has carefully considered an ad-
vertisIno campaign, only to de-
eide against such a course on
the ground that II was too ex-
pensive.
On the other hand there arc
many, perhaps the majority Of
aggressive advertisers, who
have never thought Of the ques-
tion in that light. The man who
has built up his business on ad.
vertisins regards it as funda-
mental requisite. He would no
more think Of planning to run
his business next month with
out an allowance for advertis-
Ing than he would think OF ig-
noring the items of rent and
clerk hire. To him advertising
is the rain and sunshine that
Insure his crop Of profits. 1t Is
foolish, from his standpoint. to
ask the question, "ls advertis-
ing expensive" He would say,
"Sure, II costs lots Of money,
but do you expect me to die be-
cause the cost of living is
high?"
With that class Of merchants
whose business has been built
up independently Of advertls-
ing, II Is altogether different.
To them dollar Of earnings
represents so much hard work.
so much careful watching Of
the corners. Isn't It a very nat
uraI thing for merchant Of
this class to involuntariIy re-
tract when he has laid before
him the proposition to spend
for advertising a sum equal to
that of the aggressive adver-
tiser?
The merchants of both classes
are consistent with their past
customs and past training.
Where they differ 10 in the
point that one Is modern and
the other ,s not. Merchandise
ing today Is not the merchan-
dlsing Of few years ago, when
good goods and good service
were considered the only requl-
sites Of success. Successful
merchandising today in both Of
these plus advertising.

BABYS HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and 1t spread all over
his head All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over In red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. l bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. | sent and
got bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound and we'll. and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what l put
them on. l think Cuticura is great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
l have ever used for toilet purposes"

Influence Of Advertising.

Advertising has become such vi
tai and necessary part of our daily
lives that the majority Of us do not
realize the influence it exerts upon US.
That is why up-todate merchants

because of their advertising that they
are reaping golden harvest.

to boarding school. he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His

a week in the new school. was quite

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story Is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of q piece OF wire
Of considerable length and never hav-
ing seen wire before he asked Profes-
sor Mcmillan of the Peary north pole
expedition what 1t was and what 1t
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung It on poles stuck IN the
ground and a voice talking to an in
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged In telephone construc-
tion work Of his own. He stuck some
sticks In the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast ~ he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation OF hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion OF his white friend.
