NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY BEST
10 the Business Reliance Of Today
Says Philadelphia Theatrical
Manager.

There is nothing to equal the ad-
vantage of the judicious use of news
paper space as an appeal for public
attention to the wares you offer" says
Frank Howe, Jr., manager OF the Wal
nut Street theater, Philadelphia.
Prior to the opening of The Coun-
try Boy at the Walnut Street theater,
we used approximately 1000 agate
lines of newspaper space. An audi
ence large in quantity and fine in
quality was attracted to the first per-
formance. the third night the house
was filled The heavy rain probably
kept away few intending patrons on
Thursday the fourth night. Friday
night we sold out, and Saturday night
hundreds were turned away. as we
nwere unable to find place for them.
I'm willing to wager large sums
the receipts of the Walnut for the last
week exceeded those of any other the
ater in Philadelphia.
This quick return to an appeal
for a good play could not be had ex
cept for the fact that liberal use OF
the advertising columns in a cam
paign of preparation excited public
curiosity in the producer and play
wright's effort, and when the players
had done their part the public was
prepared to favorably regard the
whole, and focked to the Walnut to
show their preference.
The posting OF cuts and an
nouncements on the dead walls and
other available spaces has its neces-
sity through custom only. The ad-
vent of the educated, resourceful man
of brilliant mentality displaced the
old time show agent and the bill
sticker,' though the latter remains
with us. as do the measles and like
ills, but the newspaper advertising is
the business reliance today"

READER AND MERCHANT
Both Derive orsat Benefit Through
Advertising - Some Points TO
Write About.

The purpose Of advertising is to
sell something. Before writing your
ads get this idea firmly fixed and
Don't try to make your ad a literary
gem: don't use your space for typo
graphical decorations: don't try to
tell the people everything you have in
your store in one ad.; don't use q lot
OF shop-worn technical terms that
may be plain enough to you but Greek
to the general public.
Use plain, everyday language,
which everybody can understand. If
your article Is one not in general use.
make your ad. educational in Its ma
ture. Tell them how the article is
made or constructed and to what use
1t can be put. If 1t will save time, tell
the people how; If 1t will make labor
easier, tell them why; give them a
good description and then tell them
the price. If the price is less than
usual, be sure and tell them why the
reduction in price is made. No matter
how much information you may use
in your ad., remember always the
main point: the purpose Of adverti-
sing Is to sell something.
Don't try to advertise everything
you have in your store in one ad. 1t
is better to advertise one article ef-
fectively than 1t is to advertise doz-
en- ineffectively. And be sure that
what you are advertising is in season.
Change your copy SO as to keep your
ad. live and up-to-date. Advertising
space is valuable, but you cannot get
better publicity, or make better in
vestment than the purchase Of space
in a wide-awake paper of big circula-
tion and then using this space to the
very best advantage.
Advertise judiciously. You haye the
goods that the people need. You
want to sell and they want to buy,
and the advertising columns Of your
paper is where you want to tell them
about your goods and they will read
your ad., for they are anxious to know
where they can buy at the greatest
saving.

Good Faith.

No manufacturer has a pocketbook
long enough to continue advertising
an article that has no merit. The
newspaper reading public is well
aware that this broad statement ap-
plies as well to the retail merchant
as to the manufacturer No retailer
has a pocketbook long enough to con-
tinue advertising store that does not
render satisfactory service. The reg
ularity of merchants newspaper ad
yertising, therefore, in itself inspires
confidence. 1t is a guarantee that the
advertiser is, to use popular phrase.

Beware Of Cheap Bills.

An examination OF paper currency
by Warren II. Hilditch of Yale showed
an average OF one hundred and forty.
two thousand bacteria to the bill.
Twenty-one bills we're examined, and
while some were relatively clean, car
rying only trifle Of fourteen thou
sand living things. others swarmed to
the figure Of five hundred and eighty.
six thousand. And, strange to say, the
bacteria did not seem to swarm to
the $1,000 bills In preference TO the
81 bills.
This shows that It is far healthier
to carry $1,000 bills about than 1t is
to tote 81 bills. Here ia a valuable
financial hint.
