Advertising and RELIGION.

Advertising in some aspects is
good deal like religion. Those who.
"get religion" from an evangelisric
burst of oratory are often disappoint-
ed in its effect upon their lives. Spas.
modic advertisers are frequently the
converts of an advertising enthusiast
who predicts great and immediate re-
suits In the business.
There are backsliders in advertis-
ing as well as religion. The percent.
age is probably just as high and they
all blame the religion" instead of
their understanding. Real advertis-
ing must be as much a part of the
business itself as true religion is of
right living.-Paul w. Minnick.

tfser to create a strong desire for his
Offering
The most profitable and most diff
ficult method of advertising. and
which method is seldom used by the
small town merchant, is to exploit
the quality, style, newness, worth and
desirability of his merchandise with
consistent price as minor considera-
ton. But can you imagine the coun-
try merchant with so many different
lines of goods on>his shelves attempt
ing to determine the logical items to
advertise. attempting to describe the
features of his merchandise which
will appeal to the public, attempting
to choose or rather find the words,
phrases and expressions which will
suggest the desirability of bis wares?
Does not this suggest to your mind
advertiser?
Or, if he chooses the less difficult
but more frequently used method Of
appeal, he will talk price in his an
nouncements. He will continually be
holding special Sales" selling goods
for cost and less. And if he gives
values even half as great as his ad-
vertisements tell about, he will find
himself conducting business at loss
or If, after leading his customers to
expect wonderful bargains, he at
tempts to obtain regular prices, he
will soon discover that his ads have
lost all effectiveness.
But in this age of publicity, the
public looks to the merchants an
nouncements, not always for the story
of wonderful bargain event. but
they are expecting to find fnforma-
ton on what is good and what Is
bad, information to help them decide
what they want, information concern
ing the most advantageous place to
secure what they desire.
So the successful advertiser in city
or village must choose for his sub
jects goods in which the public is
interested; he must describe the
goods in an interesting, truth
full and forceful manner; he
must advertise frequently and regu-
larly, but most important and difficult
of all, he must make his ads attrac-
tive, appealing and easily read.
1t is my opinion that the news
paper can increase the pulling power
of the ads rs to so per cent. by a
little effort along the lines of effec-
tive display.
So, gentlemen, say again that adj
vertising Is a most difficult PROPOSE
tion for the country merchant. We
merchants need your cooperation and
help. You publishers need our sup
port. Let us get closer together on
this problem of publicity. 1t must
be solved by both merchant and pub
Usher alike before either of us can
succeed in the fullest measure in our
undertakings.

Waiting for business to get
better doesn't help improve 1t
to any noticeable extent.
ADVERTISING GETS RETURNS
No Other Legitimate Method Equal to
Publicity, IntelIigently Directed,
for Selling Goods.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Effort intelligently directed through
publicity brings larger returns than
any other legitimate method. This is
often demonstrated in business of
many sorts and nowhere does it
show up with such continuous activ-
ity as in newspaper advertising. Right
ly placed an advertisement is an in
vitation to a possible customer that
has a vital weight. The advertise
ment of a reputable business, in the
pages of a reputable newspaper, Is
illustrating the word of honor of the
man behind the publicity. A merchant
tells through an advertisement what
he wants the public 10 know. He
states a fact. That fact, If he is the
reputable man he should be, can be
depended upon, day after day and is
sue after issue of the paper in which
his publicity is gained. 1t is the trade
mark of his calling, the guarantee OF
honest merchandising and the adver-
tisements of these reputable dealers
are readable.
And advertising brings In larger re-
turns. 1t is impossible to find
method that will make more dollars,
for the investment, as can be brought
out in trade directed by intelligent
advertising of honest merchandise or
honest needs or wants. The money
spent In this way reaches directly
more people than could possibly be
found by any other square method.
And there are countless illustrations
where it has been shown that adver-
Using pays. There is a recent case
where a local man applied for the full
fillment of a desire through the CLASH
fed columns of this paper. The cost,
entirely, was less than a dollar, for
four insertions. The first days pa
per brought him thirty-eight replies
and during the running of the ad-
vertisement there were fifty responses.
1t would have been impossible to have
gained what was thus gained, in any
other manner, than by the expendi.
ture of a great many times this much
money.

MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es-
Establishment of Sanitoriums for the
tuberculosis.

According to figures contained in the
annual report of DR.. H. L. Barnes, SUI
perintendent of the Rhode Island state
sanitorium, the earnings OF the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $685.
600. This Is sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main
tenance of the institution. including
four per cent interest and deprecia-
ton charges.
The actual earnings In 1911 OF ITO
ex-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to
S31 per week. the total earnings for
the year amounting to s102,752. On
this basis, DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
OF tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institution for the isolation Of far
advanced cases would be still better
Investments
Out of total of 46,450 hospital days
treatment given, 39,147, or 81 per cent,
were free, the treatment costing the
state on an average $500 per patient.
Out of 1873 free cases investigated, Sc
had no families and no income on ad-
mission to the sanitorium. Out Of
1872 patients having homes, the num-
Der in the family averaged 81. and
the average family earnings were
SAG. In SO cases the families had no
income, and in only five cases were
there any savings, none Of which
amounted to as much as $500.
