His disappearance occurred while his

the enemy, taking a number of prison

that he had had no such warning and
had not given the sergeant permission

on a question of yeracity between the

ADVERTISER SHOULD PUT
HIMSELF IN READERS PLACE
Beat the Mail Order Houses by Using
an Ad. That Is Attractive and
Catches the Eye

The advertiser must put himself in
the readers place. Let him think what
would catch his eye. what would hold
him, what would awaken in him a de-
sire to buy and finally what would
clinch the matter and take him TO the
store. There are some ads. n sim
ply cannot help reading. There are
some ads. that convince one OF their
honesty and sincerity. They do not
arous incredulity by reinstatement.
They are not like every other adj, but
have an individuality of their own.
They cover only one article or line
and so do not confuse the reader.
They are fresh, not being the same
thing that has stood In the paper
month after month. The ad. Is the
merchants salesman on the road. IT
works while he sleeps. 1t brings in
customers while he waits on others.
1t carries abroad his fame. 1t creates
a market. builds a desire for goods.

helps the town, for it brings trade
from a distance. I am now talking Of a
real advertisement, not the dead-alive
thing that sometimes passes under
that name. A good ad. is of the sort
that hustles for business just as a COM
merciaI traveller does. IL will not be
denied or overlooked. 1t compels at

Of the most important elements In the

Is to know how to write advertising.
For such a a the money he puts
into printers ink is an investment. He
counts on it as much as he does on
cost price or rem or labor.
This is the way to meet the mall or
der houses. The local merchant has
practically all of the natural advan-
tages on his side. Local sentiment.
