Daily Newspaper Best Advertising
Medium and Should Be Used by
Small Dealers and Merchants.

That the newspaper is the best pos
sible advertising medium for the small
advertiser and that the advertiser
must use more care In get
ting up his advertisements for small
Epace, were the declarations made by
Otto S. Bruck in an illustrated talk to
the Dallas (Tex.) Ad. league recently.
ut is the small advertiser who Is
supporting fake advertising schemes
and losing money every day. simply
because the average small advertiser
does not take the time to analyze
propositions put up to him by glib
tongued solicitor. The question Is
will the average scheme bring re-
suits? Can the same amount of money,
If expended in some other medium,
bring better results? What class OF
people can be reached? How many
people, If any, will see the ad in the
special scheme? They simply fall for
the fakes because they are seemingly
cheap in price, perhaps dollar or so,
but in the long run the small advertis-
ers are separated from lot Of money
and then they cry that advertising
does not pay. They have never really
advertised-only supported lot of
grafters.
Small advertisers should use the
newspapers as their basic mediums.
The newspaper goes into all classes of
homes and it is looked for every day.
1t is cheaper, for the newspaper has a
distribution which makes it reach the
people.
"Small advertisers pay too little at
tention to copy, which is the vital
point of any advertisement A major
ity of the small advertisers use sign
board copy in their small newspaper
ads, when that is the very space
where they have opportunity to give
q regular sales talk, just as if their
customers were in the stores. Think
more of what you are going to say in
them, and the results will surprise
you.
MANY advertisers of this character
are not regular enough. One knock
with hammer never drives the nail
home 1t takes three or four steady
blows for each nail, and it is the same
way with advertising. Keep up the
lick.
Some small advertisers very un-
wisely expend all their money in one
method of advertising A merchant
who will spend every cent for painted
displays and nothing on newspaper
advertising is a fit subject for the
bankruptcy court. If you use painted
displays, figure how many people will
pass these signs and realize how linn
tied are your facilities for advertising
the prices of the articles you sell. If
you can stand the pressure, get on the
signboards, too; but il you can use
your money to greater advantage and
tell more people about your goods
and get your prices before the public,
don't you think it would be foolish for
you to use just one method of adver-
Using, such as signboards? Small adj
vertisers should think more about
their advertising and ask the advice
of real advertising men. not takers"

Washington, Aug. 5.-The iron and
steel tariff bill, today, received the sig
