Bio Advertisinq Waste

The business mans waste paper
basket has increased 100 per cent in
size during the last seven years. The
fact leads to the inquiry. Why? The
answer Is to be found in the mass
of ineffective and undigested circular
and other advertising matter that
daily pours into the office of every
active business man only to find a
resting place in the waste basket.
Some of these advertisements are so
poor that their typographical appear
ance condemn them; some are so
badly written that they create no
desire to purchase; others have merit
and carry message, but the mes
sage has been sent to the wrong per-
son. Much of the waste basket could
be eliminated by the employment Of
more intelligence in the preparation
and distribution of advertising mat.

PROFESSIONAL ADVERTISING
BY BERT Nj. MOSES.

Everybody now recognizes adyertis-
ing as something reputable except the
lawyers, dentists and doctors.
Even the preachers of Dallas, Tex,
gave up their pulpits OF a recent Sun
day to laymen, who talked on advertis-
ing.
But the professions Of law, dentistry
and medicine still conceive it to be
more honorable to seek and accept
free readers" than to pay for legiti-
mate publicity like other good citizens.
A young man devotes several of the
best years of his life, together with
many remittances from home, to ac-
quiring knowledge and skill in the pro-
fessiOn.
When he seeks to turn that knowl-
edge and skill into a livelihood ethics
and precedent limit him to a little tin
sign tackled up beside the door.
He is like the south pole-he must
wait until somebody comes along and
discovers him.
The whole proceeding is more than
ridiculous-it is almost brutal.
If a man knows how to cure dis
ease-if he knows how to fill teeth-if
he knows how to draw up contract
the public is entitled to also know
about it.
And that man, being a resident of
the land of the free and home of the
brave, has the right to realize on his
skill and knowledge by making his
merits known.
To remain silent and let those with
established practice gather in the coin
is silly and preposterous, and the mar
vel is that a perverted proposition like
that should ever have secured a foot
hold.
| think if l had the ability to do
anything well-if | possessed the nee
essary skill TO render valuable sery-
ice to the community would surely
advertise that skill and ability in the
newspapers and pay for the adver-
tising.
And in doing this would have fully
as much respect for myself as those
misguided professional folks who do
nearly every hluu VI dCNSiti tiSiIS SA-
cept the kind that costs money, and
maybe I'd feel even superior to them.
Advertising is as honorable as the
professions themselves, and the time
IS about here to lift the ban and let
the young men free when they depart
from college with the parchment un-
der their arms.

MEALS WITH LITTLE HEAT.

For those who feel that they cannot
the heated term, there are many
dishes which may be favored with
meat in small quantities which serve
every purpose The agricultural de-
partment tells us that two and half
quarts of milk are equal in protein ma
terial to a pound of average beef. nine
eggs have the same value, two-thirds
of a pound of ordinary cheese. half a
pound of peanut butter and two-thirds
of a pint of dried peas, beans or lem
ills.
There are still people who depreci-
ate the value of skinned milk; it is
most excellent for soup making, many
puddings and for use in bread and
rolls. Skim milk has nearly all Of the
food value left in it minus the fat
This may be supplied il needed in any

A cupful of meat added to dish OF
vegetables or with dumplings makes
good favored dish, and the gravy
will make 1t go much farther. A mix
ture of two or three kinds of vegeta-
bles with cheap cut of meat will
serve a large family. If housekeepers

there would be smaller meat bills and

KANSAS HAS GR0CER-EDITORs
Merchants Are Printing Small Jour.
nails to Advertise Their Goods
Among Customers.

The Kansas grocer Is breaking into
journalism. In a number of the small
towns of the state, small two, four
or eight page newspapers are being
published by the men whose regular
business is to weigh out sugar and
measure up the supplies for the
kitchen tables of their customers
While he stacks the articles in the
market basket of the housewife, the
editor-grocer finds out who the newly
arrived visitor in the community is,
who was married during the week.
and other items to fill up the local
columns of his paper At intervals
of one, two or four weeks, the store
newspaper makes its appearance.
The store paper is generally pub
lished in a town too small to support
a regular weekly, and in such places
meets a need of the storekeeper by
at the same time with It's news feat
ures fills a niche in the community
that gives 1t welcome place
In a town where no paper is pub
lished, effective advertising, which ia
just as essential to the success Of
the small storekeeper as to the owner
OF the city department store. becomes
a problem. Window displays and
hand bills left in buggies and autos
reach only part Of the field
Printers ink publicity of some kind
is essential If the merchant wants
to keep the people informed of what
Is going on in his store 1t must be
sent out at regular intervals. Prob
ably not more than one-half of his
customers take any one newspaper
Those living on farms owe no al
legiance to any particular town. The
county seat paper may appeal to
some. Others will take the paper
published in the town where they
know the most people. while still 9th
ers will take nothing but the city
daily
These conditions make place for
the store paper. No subscription fee
is charged. The local news in the
paper makes demand for it and in
this way the merchant keeps the
name of his store before the people
of his community and keeps them ad-
yised OF bargains, changes and new
goods.

ADVERTISING THAT PAID
John Arbuckle Declared He Spent Mil.
lions in Publicity, But 1t All
Came Back.

John Arbuckle, the millionaire coffee

high caliber. The number of replies
he received astonished him and he
sent a photograph of a pile Of them

said in part:

of large business caliber ($5,000 to

GOOD DISPLAY Is VALUABLE
Goods of the Merchant, Attractveiy
Shown. Helps Sales-Sisns
Draw Attention.

Many stores are so prim and neat
in the arrangement of goods that there
is little or no inducement to buy"
says writer in the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. This may read like paradox.
but the point Is that. while neatness
and cleanliness are to be commended,
the goods must be so displayed and
ticketed that they will induce pur-
chases. When goods are on the shelves
or under the counter, where they can
not be examined or seen, people will
only buy what they come for.
IF displays cannot be made on the
counter, then table or some other
stand should be set apart for making
seasonable displays of goods, with
price tickets on them. These displays
should be changed every two or three
days.
In this connection dealers will al
ways do well to make use of the vari-
Gus signs and store displays provided
them by the manufacturer. These
things are always valuable in drawing
attention.
But pursuing this policy you will
find that customers, as soon as they
have made their regular purchases,
will examine these displays to see
what you have new to offer. and many
sales will be made which otherwise
would have been lost.
THE variety five-cent and ten-cent
stores, especially those of the better
sort. give lessons in the art of display
that can be used with benefit by
tradesmen in every line"
