Secrets Of Good Advertising
Concentration All Important

An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper
will bring much bigger results than two-inch ad-
vertisement in four newspapers.
Don skip around from one newspaper to an
other. Success in advertising comes from hammer
ing away at the crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind Of
readers you want for customers, and then stick. IF
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do is talk to the reader of the as you
talk across the counter the counter to a customer
Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it.
Let your words ring true The people will listen
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tinuousy in reputable newspaper stimulates pub
lie confidence. Your shop advances step by step in
the estimation of thousands of people who may be
months in getting around to make their first pur-
chase
Originality may be good, but an advertisement
that sells goods, even if copied is better.

Sometimes a room on which its
owner has spent much time and
thought may have its tasteful effect
decidedly lessened by the fact that it
is at the back of the house. The rea-
son for this is that many back win
dows have not an attractive outlook
This disadvantage has been overcome
by a clever girl who can paint. She
has decorated the lower sash Of the
windows in harmony with the room.
It requires only a moderate amount of
skill in painting, but more artistic
taste. The work is done with oil
paints and a flower design is used.
A specially effective flower to use
for this purpose is the water lily, but,
of course, it will have the right effect
only when 1t fits into the decorative
scheme of the room. In using this
design the glass must be painted with
waving lines of green and greenish
blue, to represent the water, with the
lilies and their leaves resting on its
surface. This is very pretty in

uons

Amusing Pastime.

At an evening party where the
guests were not well acquainted, the
hostess did not have any especial
feature. so she passed to each guest
cards bearing these various verselets,
being careful to give to those she
knew could do the stunts well. The
first guest had this on hers:
Though riddles do our minds distress,
Wed like two good ones now to guess.
And there were two good conun-
drums Immediately forthcoming
Each guest read her card aloud be-
fore complying with Its request. The
following are good suggestions:
