Reference is made in this paper
of the prosecution of a number of
the poultry commission dealers in
New York for the illegal restraint
of trade. 1t will be remembered
that a firm or company bought
poultry and eggs here last spring.
These people first went out among
the farmers and contracted the
poultry to be delivered here at a
certain time at prices which looked
good to the producer. The stuff
was all received and paid for ac-
cording to contract and loaded into
car direct. AS the price paid was
slightly in excess of what our local
poultry buyers had been offering
there was considerable comment in
regard to the matter among the
farmers. 1t was strongly limited
that our local dealers had been re-
moving large sections of cuticle
from their customers with which to
patch their private fortunes. Now
the Democrat limited at the time
that the presence of these New
York poultry men in this section
was a move to scare our local deal
ers into the poultry trust, thus pre-
/ venting them from shipping their
poultry to the independent commits.
sion companies. 1t seems, accord.
ing to the dispatches, that this was
certainly the case, but instead Of
soaring the country dealers the
trust has come to grief. IL is said
that the Samuel Werner who
bought poultry here last spring is
the same party named in the dis.
patches. Mr.. Werner will have
plenty of time to reflect upon the
inconvenience of being caught witt
the goods.

WARREN PICNIC
A Large Crowd-Warren People
Made Good Ali Promises
Greatly Enjoyed.

The twelfth annual picnic of
Warren Camp No. 7O16 Modern
WOodmen of America was pulled
off last Thursday. This annual
event has been growing more pop
ular with the people and from year
to year the crowds have been grow
ing larger; all because the Warren
people know how to entertain the
people and the people greatly ap-
preciate the pleasant event.
Hon. j. 7. Lloyd was not able to
fill his engagement as one of the
speakers, on account of his duties
keeping him at Washington. Hon.
D. A. Ball of the Kingdom of Pike
and Hon. J. A. Becker. the Wood
man deputy entertained the people
with addresses which were greatly
enjoyed by those who had the
pleasure of hearing them.
AS to music-well the Monroe
City Band and the Smith Family
Colored Orchestra looked after that
department and the music alone
was well worth going miles to hear.
Then when it comes to some
thing to eat, there were loads of
good things to eat and all were
urged to partake thereof. There
are no better cooks on earth than
the good ladies who live in the
neighborhOod of Warren and those
present gave good evidence that
they were enjoying the good things
spread before them. After the
event of last Thursday the people
are going to look forward to the
Warren picnic of 1912 and altho 1t
will be the 18th the people are 90
ing to be present in large numbers
and are going to spend a pleasant
day as you cannot help it when
with the hospitable people of War
rem.

address appears elsewhere in this

Craftsmanship in Your Advertisements.

interest effect or gets quicker action
than a well selected picture. To
get such illustrations you need not
only a high grade experienced
artist but one who has first class
knowledge of advertising art. Then.
it requires considerable study and
experience in descriptive literature
to create interest in soods-even in
those you are selling daily. Again,
to bring conviction to the mind of
a reader surely and successfully,
necessitates a knowledge of how it
has been done in thousands of other
cases.
All this means that the up-to-
date merchant who desires to make
his advertising scientifically certain
mnst either study retail advertis-
ing as part of his business train
ing or employ an. experienced ad-
Vertising constructor. There is
more in planning and writing
successful advertisement than the
ordinary retailer realizes. And the
smaller the advertisement the more
difficult the process. Only those
who have made big successes by
the employment of advertising in
its most efficient form know the
true value of craftsmanship through
advertising.
The time is now due for the am
bilious retailer to learn something
I about this art. If he does not care
about plodding at acquiring the
necessary knowledge himself there
are plenty of means of securing the
right kind that will enable him to
get one hundred per cent value
from his advertising space. One OF
the best means is to buy syndicated
advertising service. Some of these
services have been brought up to
such a pitch of perfection that much
of their advertising is rated as
equal to the best that has made
success for the big department
stores and national advertisers.
Constructing advertisements is
like the practice of medicine OF
| law, it requires a special training
to do it successfully. The average
merchant can no more build an
advertisement that will bring sure
returns than the average advertise.
ment writer can cure your body OF
argue your case in the courts. And
the average merchant who attempts
to do it is perpetrating as much
harm to his business as the ANA.
teur would do to a human body il
he tried to doctor it.
Those syndicated advertising
services are constructed by experts
of national reputation who have
had many years experience IN that
class of work and who are paid
large salaries for their services
The low prices at which the ser
vices are offered are only made
possible by the large number sold
throughout the country. For some
Of the services the prices are as
small as one dollar per week
Full particulars Of those syndi-
Gated advertising services may be
obtained from the editor OF this
paper. 1t is unwise for any retail
er to be without sucha means Of

vertisine when he can get success

The most pertinent question re-
taller must think about when he
starts out to consider the question
of filling the advertising space he
has bought in the local newspaper
is how can | sell my goods success
fully through this newspaper? The
best answer to the question is I'M
doubtedly another question. He
must ask himself: If l had to sell
these goods in my store, how would
l approach my custOmer-hoW
could l interest her and in what
way should convince herr" Last
of all he must ask himself whether
he is capable of doing this in the
newspaper space as well as in his
store. .'.3..
When a merchant has answered
these questions satisfactorily he
may commence compiling his ad-
vertisement. But until he realizes
that craftsmanship is just as neces-
sary in the newspaper space as in
his store when selling goods, he can
never hope to get the value he has
every right to expect from the
space.
Successful newspaper publicity
has been called salesmansh4p on
paper. When a retailer can dis
tinguish that kind Of craftsmanship
and appreciate its value, be is a
long way on the road to adVertiS-
ing success.
If retailer employed the ineXpe-
rienced or amateur help in his
store to sell his best goods he would
be classed as fool. Why should
he not also be put in that category
if he employs amateur salesman
ship in his newspaper space? He
pays good money for both and
should get the same degree of sat
isfaction for his expenditure
Four main points enter into all
craftsmanship whether personal or
on paper: First, the attention of the
possible custumer must be obtained
second, interest must be created in
the goods you are going to sell
third, the customer must be con-
WINGED that she wants the goods
and last, but by no means least
she must be induced to make a
purchase.
In planning his advertising. there
fore, the merchant has to apply
these principles in such a way that
from his announcements, results
are obtained as a matter of course
But he must remember always that
craftsmanship on paper is more diff
ficult than craftsmanship in person
because he cannot make his selling
arguments felt in the same degree
as when he meets his customer
face to face.
Unless a merchant can apply
these four principles successfully to
his craftsmanship through advertis,
Tag, his publicity will get no more
returns than a bad salesman in his
store. And let me state here that
no ordinary merchant can get the
highest grade of craftsmanship in
his newspaper space without out
hide help. There are many reasons
for this. 1t has been found, for in
stance, that the best way to secure
attention is to usea good illustra-
,tioa. Nothing has a snrer human
