The merchant who does not believe
in printers ink has never advertised
or else he has never advertised right
In the year 1907, "a per cent of the
failures were among non-advertising
merchants.
Advertising is the greatest force OF
modern merchandising; you cannot
hope to get the best of your com
petitor unless you use better method
of advertising than he does. Be
original, don't follow in his footsteps
for he is getting the business he has
bid for and you are trying to get what
is left.
Not along ago We sent up some pa.
per balloons advertising number OF
specials for a certain week and at.
tached to each balloon was coupon
worth from SOC to $500. This cost
us about $500 as nearly one-half OF
the balloons were returned. In my
opinion this was one of the best
special feature advertisements we
ever tried, as it created more talk
than any form of advertising we ever
did and the sale was very successful.
In your advertising you should bear
in mind that you have but one object
to accomplishment that is to sell
the goods. An advertisement is like
q salesman. A salesman's ability is
measured by the amount of merchan.
disc he sells and an ad should be
measured in the same manner. You
should know that you are getting re-
suits from your advertising but I'll
venture to say that at least half of

ing pays them but are doing it just

1t takes time to write good ad
although many an ad is written in a
hurry that brings good results, yet
these hurriedly written ads would
bring double the results if the proper
time was devoted to their writing.
Spend more time on one ad than you
usually spend on five; the result will
surprise you.
I have divided advertising into four
different channels: Newspapers, Cir
culars, Personal Letters and Bill
boards, and when properly prepared
copy is used each of the first three
methods will bring results, but is it
possible to get the best direct results
from newspaper space.
Here are three of the most essen
tial things an ad should do:
First-Catch the eye.
Second-Hold the attention.
Third-Open the pocketbook.

convince him that you can sell then
what they want cheaper than any
one else, but bear in mind that the
most important thing is to first catch
the eye. In order to attract the PEG
pies attention to your ad you should
have it distinct from the rest Of the
ads in the paper. If you leave it to
the printer your ad will look just like
all the rest, but if you arrange the
ad to suit your own taste then it will
be different from any other ad in the
paper if the printer follows your
suggestions. Be careful in your
suggestions not to specify something
that is impossible, but leave it to the
printer to use, his own judgment and
follow the copy as nearly as possible
You will find most of them glad to do
this. In comparing the ads in the
Vinton papers you will find they rank
with those of papers in cities much
larger than Vinton.
AS a general proposition the local
newspapers are the best and most
effective means Of reaching the PEG.
pie. Especially is this true in a town
like this where the papers are taken
into the home and read by nearly
every member of the family. Although
circulars are quite effective, they are
usually more expensive and unless
well gotten up are apt to be less salts
factory. OF course good circulars
are always more or less resultful de-
pending on how we'll they are done.
When you get out circular it pays
to put enough expense to it so that it
will stand out above the ordinary run
of cheap, unattractive circulars. The
one drawback in using circulars is
the distribution of them. You don't
know whether the circular goes into
the home or not. If you have boys
distribute them for you perhaps they
will go under some sidewalk and if
you send them through the mail the
men folks will probably throw them
away before they get home, but with
the newspaper you are sure it goes
into the home.
Personal letters are undoubtedly a
good method of advertising special
lines, but as we have never used this
idea I cannot say as to the direct re-
suits in using them, but it should
bring good results as it goes direct to
the person you desire to talk with,

merely because you cannot reach
them through your advertising. They
are buying elsewhere the same things
you sell, because you do not let them
know that you carry these same
goods. A personal letter will bring
results in this case where other
methods will fail.
Billboard advertising is used a
great deal especially by manufacture
ers who desire to create demand
for their goods through your store
and in my opinion this is not one of
the best ways to spend your money.
You do not know that you are get
ting results from that big ad on the
billboard nor do you know whether
or not any of your customers ever see
it. There is way to test the news
paper to find if you are getting re-
suits from your ad, but there is no
way to find this out from the bill
board, and in my opinion We should
not spend our money for advertising
space that we cannot see the results
of. The foreword of good advertis-
ing is Originality, do things differ
ent from your competitor. The one
best business builder is Special Sales.
They will bring a business to points
of excellence that seems difficult to
attain by simply talking quality mer-
chandise; but you must never lose
sight of the fact that special sales
must be special sales and they must
not be run too close together; for if
they once become too common, it is
similar to the killing of "The Goose
that laid the Golden Eggs"
A man can stand in front of his
place of business and shout, and If he
is not in the habit OF doing this it
will attract attention. On the other
hand if he stands there from early
morning till evening crying his wares
at the top of his voice, it will only be
a short time until people would be-
come accustomed to his racket and
would pass him by without even a
thought Of purchasing. This con-
dtion arises great many times when
special sales are run too frequently
and too close together, so guard
against this feature and you will find
that special sale is good thing
for any live business. Don't cut the
prices on your regular stock for these
special sales, but buy goods especially
for these sales and sell them below
the regular prices.
Experiment with your advertising.
Try every means within your reach
that appeals to your good judgment
then stick to the style that is the most
successful. It is we'll to study the ads

A Card from Mr.. Curry.

Dear Sir Records show that the
first quarter OF this year there was paid
out by County Board for bridge work
S11O, and for road work S3,14S43, and
for special road work, S1,O5273, making
a total of S4,29116. Counting out Sun
days and half Saturdays there were 6S
working days in that quarter. A fore
man at $50 per month, men at SIPS
each and no reduction for rainy days
and the feed OF good, heavy mules at
SIS per month each for feed would have
cost the county for that quarter S795, a
difference in favor of the plan prescribed
by law and the plan now followed OF
50. 1876. 10. If the first quarter is TO be
taken as a sample of what the other 3
quarters will cost and what might be
saved, the amount would be S13,9S4.6 81

special road work is money borrowed
from the Bond Fund and in this way is
