NEW IDEA IN ADVERTISING
Briaht (?) Scheme Of Parisans to
Teach Parrots to Call Out Wares
in Public Places.

Word concerning new Idea in ad-
vertising has just come from Paris.
The scheme Is to teach parrots to as
Bist in the extension Of commerce by
sitting upon perches and croaking:
"1ry Crushem's Corsets," or Say
Wattes,' or Eureka Razor" as the
case may be. The training of the par
rots, according to the promoters Of
the new scheme, is to be simple
matter. phonograph Is to be placed
In a room fitted up for the purpose
and the instrument will grind out,
hour after hour, the cry that the par
rots are to repeat The birds mean
while will be established on conven-
lent perches where they may hear the
two or three words that are to be
used in pushing the commodity Of the
advertiser and the solemn business
will proceed until the parrots take up
the cry OF the phonograph
1t has been established that a parrot,
once It has learned to say a certain
thing. will repeat that thing thousand
times day for hundred years, bar
ring accidents or plots, and the facts Is
emphasized by the projectors of the
new method OF advertising They ex
pect shortly to have their parrots on
duty in all the big shops and in every
public place, so that the wares they
are employed to praise may be contin
uously called to the attention of th'
people.
There Is a 'well-grounded belief tha
II pays to advertise, but It does no
pay to annoy the public. We reserve
the right to be skeptical says the Chi
cago Record Herald, and venture Z
express the hope that some friend o
humanity viii at once get busy upol
the problem of discovering a way il
which parrots may be put TO dealt
quickly. surreptitlously and with a
little annoyance to the birds as pos
9ible.

SUCCESSFUL GROCERY
STORE ADVERTISING
BY WIN. c. FREEMAN.

Nobody would pick out Lynn, Mass.
"a city with a population less than
100 0O0-as having the largest grocery
and provision store under one owner
ship in the United States. but 1t Is .
fact nevertheless.
The owner OF this great establish
ment admits frankly that one OF the
reasons why his grocery and pro.
vision store is SO large and successful
Is because of the newspaper advertis-
Ing that he was persuaded to do by
the owner of the Lynn Item.
The owner of the store always be.
lieved in advertising, but at the start
he used rather Indifferent copy. The
space was large enough, for he used
six inches single column, but 1t was
the ordinary kind of advertising, that
did not say very much except quote
prices, and did not interest the read
ers.
The publisher counseled the owner
to use enough space 20 tell the people
of Lynn and vicinity all about the
store and It's facilities for serving
them well This was done.
One advertisement, for Instance
would refer to their cracker depart
ment, which by itself is as large al
many entire grocery stores. In thiI
department every known cracker O
merit can be found They could tell
and did tell very interesting stor.
about this department, and that Is thu
way they did with all the other de
partments Of the store.
After a while the owner got into thu
spirit of advertising realized what |
great thing 1t was to him in his bust
ness; so when 1t came around to al
anniversary date he used full page
an unusual thing for a country stor
| to do.
The success Of that advertisement
was instantaneous. The crowd tha
| responded was so great that the side
walks were blockaded and extra pc
lice wele called to take care OF tn
people They have been users Q
newspaper space ever since.
Grocery advertising like every otf
er kind, creates more interest If
story is told and not too much stres
laid upon a mere price list Of articles
The owner Of this particular stor
makes his advertising Of general II
terest, and all Of the people OF Lyn
and vicinity respond to 1t generousl,
with the result that the business
