WHY THE ADS DIDN'T PAY
Experience of a Southern City in Try.
ing to Attract Peope-FoIIow.
Up Work Necessary.

One southern city wisely contracted
for several hundred dollars worth of
advertising space in a leading Chi
cago publication during the period of
the recent land show
Before the land show had closed re-
turns came freely in the form of many
letters Of inquiry from various parts
of the country. They looked good"
and doubtless represented a goodly
percentage of hopeful possibilities.
But no one knows and probably no
one will ever know, because the local
commercial body has no equipment for
handling the situation.
They have no printed matter to send
to the correspondents.
They have no plan for classifying,
grouping and referring the several
communications to any one who might
helpfully respond and deal with them.
They have no exact data to submit
in reply to specific inquiries
They have not even some one in
the office who is making even a for.
NAL or form" reply or at least &C.
knowledgment.
They have no plan, no policy, no
program, no machinery, no method no
printed matter, no data, mo nothing!"
Is it not awful! Awful, Awfuli!!
And of course advertising does not
pay"

ADVERTISING THAT
GIVES BEST RESULTS
BY William C. Freeman.

X. s. Fenwick recently made very
interesting talk before Canadian busi-
ness men on the subject of adyertis-
ing, in which he said;
There are two methods of advertis-
Ing in common today. The first might
be described as business building"
and the second as business stimulat-
ing"
The first is used persistently, sys-
Lematically, intelligently, for the pur-
pose of making more sales, day by day
and month by month, than were made
in the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year.
The second is used for the purpose
Of making the sales take sudden
jump, when 1t is found that business
is dull, when it Is desired to raise
money, or when any one of a hundred
other conditions may arise.
The first, used alone. results in
permanent gain and continuous
growth, when intelligently applied
the second, used alone, even when &C
complishing the desired result, in
variably leaves the business in a
weakened condition, from which it
takes time to recover.
We all like to see quick results
that is natural. We are inclined to
consider the immediate benefit as
more important than the ultimate
profit, on the principle that "a bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush.'
But it should be remembered that con-
tinuous advertising has cumulative
influence worth more than the sum
Of its immediate, traceable returns.
The cumulative effect of continuous
advertising is to build up public conf
dence and to sell goods through the
influence of repeated suggestions.
The constant dropping Of water on
a stone will wear it away in one spot
the constant contact with the ad-
vertisements of any business will
make an ever increasing impression
on the public mind
Stop the dropping and the stone will
soon wear smooth-stop the advertis-
ing, and the impression will soon be
crowded out and replaced by other i'm
pressions.
The trouble with special effort in ad-
vertising is that the desire to stimu-
late business creates a condition that
makes the merchant sometimes very
well contented with the results of ad-
vertising, but more often it makes him
feel as though advertising has lost its
power.
The steady, long pull-always at it
always giving good value-always
making good ones promises-always
being painstaking in the matter OF
service-is the kind of advertising
that in the long run gives permanency
and reputation and profit to a bust
ness.
Spend what you can afford, but
spread the amount over a persistent
course of advertising. Whatever you
do, don't be spasmodic.
