The Way to BeoIn.

Every merchant in every town
should advertise, frst OF all, In hia
home newspapers. He cannot make
hims self well known otherwise; he
cannot do as much business as he
wants to do otherwise
He need spend only In proportion to
the business he does in a year. II he
did a $4,000 business last year, spend
$500 to $3.50 in advertising; II he did
$4,000, spend $1,000 to $3.50 in adj
vertising, and SO on.
1t will be a beginning and It will
pay-but the greatest care should be
taken, since only small space can be
used, to make each advertisement al
full OF meat as pOss!ble-make It stand
out conspicuously In type effect, and
make the reading matter say some
thing and mean It.

Variety In Advertising.

A writer in one of the advertisers
magazines says that certain type OF
advertisement is about as interesting
as heap OF clam shells In a vacant
lot The kind Of "ad." he is criticising
is tho stereotyped, cut-and- dried
card" which still represents the
most advanced form of publicity in
the conception of some business men.
1t is safe to say no advertisement
is good advertisement which merely
makes known the existence of the
business it exploits. The public is not
interested In the fact that the bust
ness exists-it wants TO know why
1t exists. The card" does not tell.
The space it occupies on the page of
a newspaper can always be used to
better advantage In giving the adver-
tiser some real news about the adver-
Users business than in presenting to
his attention an enlarged extract
from a page of the city directory.

SPEAKER CLARK REALIZES posi-.

On Trial Before the Nation, and From
the Past Record the Voters Have
Little Right to Feel Very
Confident

we are this day put upon trial, and

voters of the land. and that we are

That the foremost official Democrat
In the land should enter upon this
great Office with such words of sober
ness upon his lips, and with clear
consciousness of the truth that his
party Is indeed upon trial before the
nation. is encouraging to all thinking
Americans,
But II Is also plain that Mr.. Clark's
further remarks that he is conscious
that his party does not face its task
and its trial with an undivided mind.
For he went on to quote as promises
made to win" and which must there
fore be fulfilled" queer medley of
historic Democratic principles, trivial
tiles and revolutionary socialism.
He seemed to ascribe equal impor-
lance to such technicalities and trivial
tiles as change of the house rules"
and publicity. of campaign contribu-
lions" as to such abiding Democratic
principles as reduction of taxation and
economy in public expenditure.
We acquit Mr.. Clark of intent to
darken counsel, but he does So when
he even appears to make equal things
so unequal.
And he foreshadows the difficulties
his party will find in the task OF turn.

Leading Cause Of Big Profits Made by
MaiIOrder Houses-Exampie for
Country Merchants.

One oc Chicago's big mail-order sup
ply houses cleared. in profits, in 1910
100000, SO 1t will be seen that they
are not in business merely for the
accommodation OF the public, but
listen:
How do these houses reach the
people?
Isn't It by advertising?
Yes, you will have to admit or ex-
pose your ignorance
Country merchants will frankly
admit that this is the way It is done.
and yet, withhold their advertise
ments from the local paper. which
stands between them and the mail
order house. and allow the big concern
TO talk to their customers in print day
In and day out through the magazines
and farm and family journals. and
never say a word In their own defense
or in support OF their goods or prices
through their medium, the home pa
per. which is as eagerly read by their
customers as are the magazines car
ryfng the advertisements of the mail
order houses-continually
When country merchants wake up
to the fact that every dollars worth
of goods sold by mail-order concerns
Is the direct result of continuous ad-
vertising, then take up the same meth
DDS, Systematically and persistently,
they will soon be selling the goods
used by the people in their territory
and the NJ. o, concerns will be forced

Country merchants have system of
dropping in and out, usually with a
little 'two-for-five" ad, absent OF
prices, often descriptive OF goods out
of season at cut prices" while the
mailorder concern will carry liberal
sized advertisement. prices and goods
reasonable: the journal carrying the
advertisement finds It's way to the
homes OF the local mans customers
and is there compared with the adver-
tisement in the home paper, II any,
and right there the decision is made Of
whom to buy. The NJ. o. house has a
new and tenpttng offer every time
the journal is received; but the home
merchant allows the home paper to
enter the same homes and his store
not represented only occasionally.
When business becomes dull the NJ.
o. house jumps into the journals with
larger and more attractive ads. than
at other times; when business gets
dull the home merchant drops out all
his ads in the local paper, leaving 1t
all to the mail-order fellows and his
customers.
Not one man in ten in business in
small towns knows the value OF ad-
vertising, or how or when to do It,
and why-simply because they do not
give this most important matter any
attention, and just as long as they do
not, Just so long will the mail-orde
houses prosper and pile up their mil
lions in profits and sell their goods
right under the nose of the retailer,
and 95 per cent. OF the latter go broke
annually.-H. r. Broadbent, in the
