THE PARABLE OF THE
MAN WHO ADVERTISED

Once upon time there was busi-
ness man who resolved to advertise.
He saw what others were accomplish
ing with direct mail matter, spreads
in the magazines, bill-boards and 9TH
er means of publicity, and he warmed
to the thought of emulating their
success.
So it came to pass that he hied
himself to an advertising man and
laid his proposition before him. And
the a. m, finding it good and exceed
ingly fertile. recommended therefore
a suitable campaign.
The product and its appeal to the
public were carefully studied, and
letters, magazine ads. and other ad-
vertising prepared which would get
the right point of contact
But the business man was not salts
fled. This letter doesn't strike my
fancy" and that ad. wouldn't sell
goods to me in thousand years" AMI
Il don't like the picture that goes"
with this folder" were some of the
criticisms he made when the vai iious
copy and layouts came before him.
Oh he was the wise little gazaboo.
He was right there with a whallop
when it came to advertising knnwl-
elge, and when he got through revis-
ing things to suit his individual taste,
their author knew that they were in
deed orphans.
Protests were of no avail. 1t was
his money he was spending and he
guessed" he knew good advertising
when he saw it. You couldn't fool him.
People would buy what appealed to
him, and when his final o. X. went on
any advertising, it was right.
But, sad to relate. likewise quite
obvious, the dear public did not seem
to have the same taste as he. They
found his advertising distinctly non
interesting and passed it by, also up.
So the campaign turned out fail
ure and the business man becomes
really quite peeved now when the
subject of advertising" is men,
toned
All OF which brings home this moral

expect to have more than one posi-

Newspaper Ads VIII Sell Land.

ITO get results that are lasting
and publicity that warns up the stu
alton in the real estate business in al
most any locality, newspapers are the
best; liberal use of the classified
pages and sufficient use OF the display
to keep the firm out of the 'piker class
and give dignity to the smaller ads
SENS to cover the field and prove the
best investment. Other schemes that
are offered may seem and look rosy
but they seldom reach the public
when 1t is In frame of mind to be
impressed with Importance of invest
ing in homes or in speculative real es-
tate" This is the conclusion advanced
by II. B. Van Sickle, publicity expert
and advertising manager for a large
real estate firm in Toledo.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING
Poor Foreigner That illustrates
Power Of Publicity.

Provided an athlete, trained to the
minute, fitted out with the best money
can buy in the shape of specially pre-
pared shoes, walking sticks. loose-fit-
ting and comfortable clothing and re-
freshments, walks across the contin-
ent In anything like reasonable time,
he is given wide publicity. is wined
and dined and is proclaimed a being
of great endurance, determination
and selfwill, a think-nothing-of-su
ing, imb-over-a-barrier, set-all-obsta-
cles-aside sort of person.
But man in need of work and de-
termined to get it, probably not in
the best of physical condition. short
of clothes and without knowledge as
to where he is to get his next meal,
can walk 5000 miles, can undergo all
sorts OF hardships and self-denialS,
and he would not even be given cred
it for having done anything out of the
ordinary.
Aside from other features of the
comparison, it all goes to show what
advertising will do in any branch of
human existence or endeavor.
When the athlete starts out on his
long tramp he is advertised far and
wide and the eyes of the country are
directed toward him. If he fails to
complete his journey he is soon for
gotten. but If he succeeds, he is he
ro.
But in the case of the other man,
he is not advertised and nothing is
heard of him from one end of the
journey to the other, SO it does not
matter whether he fails or succeeds
And the same condition applies in
other walks of life. The man who is
wide awake, who directs attention to
himself by advertising, by not only
blowing his own horn but having 9TH
ers blow loud blasts on it OCCASION
ally is more certain than is the man
who starts out without a blare of
trumpets or without an attempt to at
tract and keep the attention of the
public
Recently a New York fireman set
out from the Atlantic coast city to
walk to this coast. He was trained
athlete and made the trip in good
time and got a whole lot of notoriety
and considerable money out of the
trip. He was advertised far and near.
And recently tailor, whose home
was in Poland, received word that
employment awaited him at the hands
of an old friend in Redwood City, Cal.
The tailor left Poland, without knowl-
edge as to the length or breadth of
the United States and arrived in New
York city four months ago. When
told that he had yet to cross the con-
tinent, he pluckily set out to walk the
distance. being without funds to pay
his fare.
He made the trip from New York
city to Oakland in three months and
two weeks, doing odd jobs en- route
to pay his expenses.
Upon reaching Redwood City he
was at once employed
The accomplishment of the needy
tailor. comments the Oakland. Cal,
Enquirer, is more worthy of notice
than is tnat of the athletic fireman.
But the tailor's long tramp was not
advertised
For that reason he has failed to at
tract much attention and but little ap-
plause for his exhibition of endur-
ance and determination.

Real Advertising is News.

The successful merchants of today
place their faith in honest, common
sense, persistent publicity. They know
that advertising is simply news-news
of merchandise, and prices, and store
service, and so on. And the advertiser
who gives the people the news they
want to read has the only sort of power
over pocketbooks that is fundamental
ly sound-Baltimore Sun.

nually appointed in such manner as

A cursory examination of the rec
ords does not disclose any instances in
which this recall power was exercised,
but doubtless there were some cases.
