Age of Advertisinu.

A paper is Leslie's Weekly says: This is an age of advertising. We cannot do business successfully with. out 1t. Recently, when the Chicago papers stopped publication for three days. business in the city stores was practically at a standstill. I remem. Der when certain large establishments In New York boasted that they did not advertise or said that satisfad customer was the best advertisement
 Tiffany, Brol1aw Brothers and otbar well-known houses did not advertise
 but they do today, and so does everv large concern. In those days tbe merchant sold his goods over inc counter and the manufacturer sent out out ms statesmen, but today people buy the goods which they want .na which they know sometbine ohaI'. because of the information given Inv the advertisers. een o'

PERSONAL APPEAL IS SURE One Way of Advertising That Never Fails to Bring Certain Re-
 suits.

The subject of advertising in its va rtous phases has been so thoroughly
 exhausted by professional ad writers
 that just a retail merchant" may Well hesitate to offer any hints or sug- gestlons unless it be on advertising
 that pulls, or in other words, brings results-and especially that which will pull trade to a shoe store.
 Theoretically, an advertisement should consist of some interesting general reading matter and descrip- ton of the goods offered for sale, but this strikes the very difficulty of shoe advertising.
 It IS practically impossible to de- scribe shoe in way that is convinc- Ing enough to get good results, as the wide latitude allowed in advertising ihakes It possible to use exactly the same description for a low priced shoe that is used in describing the highest grades.
 ohe sure way for a shoe store to get results that are lasting is to sys- temat1cally advertise in the personal appeal way.
 Shoe dealers as a rule feel that they either lack the time or the ability to Write advertisements, but personal appeal advertisements should be writ ten by some one right in the store.
 For a number of years this store mas been running copy each week un- der the heading mThielbars Shop Talk"
 Shop Talk is merely used as a head Ing that is general enough to permit any store subject to be taken up.
 The personal appeal in the way of Heart to Heart talks on different subjects, store news, talks on fitting, etc., Is sure to get a following if persistently kept up..
 It does not require an advertising expert to do this. Any merchant can sit at his desk and write just as he would talk to customer in the store.
 Write as convincingly and by all means as truthfully as you would talk and while the results from a pro- fessional and artistic standpoint may be lacking you get results and, after
 NA' AS1"A'o aiS WudI you are lOOklQS for.
 Several years ago one of our local Newspapers offered a cash prize for the best advertisement appearing in a certain edition
 The contest was decided by a con- mittee composed of three men promi- 1 nent in advertising circles from other cities and although they awarded the prize to one store, they made the statement that the ad. of another store would bring the most results.
 Ii 1t is necessary to sacrifice either results or art in writing shoe adyer- tlsements, by all means forget the art and get the results.
 Results do not come from one ad pr two, but they will come from the of personal appeal foundation and then by keeping per- 'lstently at 1t along the same lines.
 This plan will bring results in the shape of real permanent customers md not Just the shoppers that are blown around With each change of the w. Thielbar of Peoria. II,

 matched to box Packey Mcfarland six rounds next Wednesday. Don't let anyone tell you that Mcfarland is picking easy game in agreeing to mix it with the Quaker City Welter- weight.
 True, the boys boxed six rounds was given the popular decision. Erne's exhibition that evening was not of the sort expected from one of his class, but that is nothing unusual these days. Mike Gibbons dids not show the best he had in stock when he boxed Jack Denning last week. Neither did Attell in the Brown match
 Not that boy is necessarily crook. ed because he is not screwed up to top speed at all times. A boxer is very much like "a thoroughbred race horse in that respect, if such com parison will be accepted. He is bound to get "off his feed'' occasion ally and if not in the very best Of form cannot do his best work.
 Young Erne has been boxing pro fessionally for ten years and has met many of the best boys in B. the business from his feather-weight days to the present time. His most re- cent bid for fame was to hold Mike Gibbons even for six rounds; the Philadelphia papers gave Erne cre- dit for outpointing clever Mike. Y
 So don't run away the idea that Erne is a sucker" Instead he is, one of the smartest in the game at his weight, and McFarland will he compeplled to break few speed re- cords to outpoint him. At this l think Packey one f.sthe very few who can turn the trick. n
 New York promoters see a great card in a match between the winner of the Mcfarland -Erne contest and the pride of St, Paul, Mike Gibbons. The latter's performance in the Den. ming contest has not blinded the seE- perts to the real ability of the West. erner, and they are anxious, to seq him pitted aganst foeman worthy of his skill. q So sam McVey ran out on his agree ment to give Sam Langford chance Tor revenge. thought everything had

itis''.
 Very few sporting writers are giv- ing the space to the proposed John son-Flynn contest fight for the championship calls for. If less popular promoter than Jack Curley, were handling the deal there would be little or no publicity given the af-: fair.
 On paper the match looks too ab-. surd to he treated otherwise than joke, but Jack succeeds in keeping in terest stimulated to a moderate de- gree. But the astute Curley made a big mistake in my opinion calling off the Palzer contest That was the logical match. Both Flynn and Pal ger had trimmed Al Fauffman via the knockout route, and meeting be- tween them would have drawn big money and placed the winner in an enviable position, in pugilism.
 Good old Bill Delaney has cashed in his checks. A great trainer, a faithful friend, and always strictly on the square-that tells Bill De- laney's story.
 I was honored with his friendship l for more than quarter of a cen tury: We joined interests at the out l set of my professional. career and remained together until we reached the top, and for many years after. l
 Rumor to the contrary, we never | had any serious misunderstanding at any time. We just naturally drifted | apart as the best of friends will. Dur interests carried us in different directions. Later on we found our selves arrayed on opposite sides, but 1t was purely for business reasons l. and never lessened our mutual re- gard.
 To try to elaborate upon Bill sDe aney's skill and attainments in ihis of discoverer, developer and rainer of champions would be super luous. Every follower of boxing ,nows Deloney's history. He brought ut the very best that was in a man, md no one could do more.
 Delaney's death is a big loss 10 he game and is to be deplored by overs Of pugilism the world over. An honor and a credit to the sport, a oval and devoted friend, it was char lcteristic of the man to choose to emain ill the background rather than share in the applause and pproval showered upon those in whose success and achieVments he 'layed such important parts.
