DOESN'T HOLD GOOD TODAY
Barnum Idea That People Delight in
Being Humbugsed RELOCATED to
Scrap Pile. +

But a few years ago the popular
idea of advertising was a method for
catching the public. In these days
the average advertiser regarded the
buyers as so many suckers: the
business of advertising didn't take
honesty and integrity INTO
The old idea, to which a few still
cling. was summed up by Barnum,
who said. "the people like to be hum
bugged." Those who still advertise
with the Idea that the people delight
in being h~umbugged have confused
notoriety and advertising. and they
have put a low estimate on the intel
ligence Of the people. 3
The idea that the people delight in
being humbugged. the idea that adj
vertising consists in catching the peo-
pie and the idea that a successful
business can be established on false
pretense. have been relegated TO the
scrap pile along with a lot of other
old-fogy ideas which were designed
to confuse the people while their
pockets were being searched. says
the Lafayette (Ind.j Journal. .
Modern advertising has been placed
on a business basis-on an honest
basis-On q scientific basis. Certain
elements Of value enter into its max

Using is the only way. because It
gives to the advertiser exact knowl
edge as to wha; he is buying. A
successful merchant believes that
he should be equally honest in deal
ing with the public. The publisher
who builds right should apply the
honesty test to his advertising space.
just as the merchant who has growu
away from the idea of humbugging
the people. demands honesty In his
advertising expressions.
Advertising space is q business
commodity, the value of which is de-
termined as definitely as any CON-
modify that enters into the mer-
chants business. Rules governing the
value Of advertising space. are 80
well defined that there is no reason
, for mistaking its worth and NO
occasion for expecting 1t to be dis

annual report of the Northumberland
Sea Fisheries committee for 1911
has Just been issued with the GUS
tomary routine statistics on trawling
and seining, sea temperatures and
crops. And then the report proceeds
to give valuable directions on the best
way to mesmerize Holsters.
The usual way is to hold the lob

form a support with the rostrum, and
to stroke it rapidly with the tips OF
Of the carapace, or shell covering the
crustacean's head and thorax. In
about a minute the lobster succumbs,
and remains without movement in this
position for a variable period. In or.
der to see whether the reversed posi-
ton, as driving the blood to the head
was essential, a lobster was treated IL
the horizontal attitude, and so sue
cessfully that 1t remained without
movement for three hours. A Norway
lobster subjected to a similar treat
ment was quiescent for fifty minutes
A lobster can be put to sleep on it

It is evident that other crustacean,

at the hands of the mesmerist. T,
quote some more: The crab goes Il

Up until a very short time ago the

ment of analysis available for chem
zeal and scientific research. II, after

the light up into q band of colors

tist was able to tell Of what the burnt
substance was composed.
And now an instrument which IL
declared to be one million million

An Advertiser ent and An Editorial:

In the current issue Of Judicioua
Advertising is an advertisement which
says:
"You can talk to all classes, all the
people, all the time. only by using
street car advertising"
And on another page is an editorial
which says:
The most interesting thing to an
advertiser Is to know who reads the
publicationHwho will see the message
he prepares with such care. Are the
subscribers and readers persons who
will not only be interested In the
message, but will be able and willing
to buy what he offers for saleg Be-
cause unless this be the case It Is
foolishness for an advertiser to spend
time and money In sowing seed on
unfertile ground"
The editorial Is right. The adver-
tiser does not want to talk to "all~
classes. He wants to talk to the buy
ing classes; that's what he pays for.

This was in the famous geological

At first sight 1t would appear un-
