than our own. but they seemed far off
and we didn't know where to find them.
Perhaps in the hundred and one things

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AND THE
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Christmas is the one season of the
wear bv common consent of the Chris
tan world, peculiarly sacred to kindness
and good will. Doubtless we should be
kind, considerable. helpful to others at
all seasons, but when Christmas m
the most of rs find III unusual impulse
in our hearts To make things pleasant
for others. This special and peculiar i'm
pulse of Kindness may be perfectly con
sistent with a large general average Of
Kindness throughout the year.
Somehow. when Christmas comes, we
feel that il would be a Shome 10 rob any
human of amy part Of The Joy Of the sea
son. Yet there is one point where we
are apt to forget all the kindliness that
belongs to the time and become rather
mean and selfish. That is when We do
our Christmas shopping. We put il al
off TO the last day. and then join the
crowd of others who put it off to the
last day. In the mad rush to buy our
presents and the ingredients of the
Christmas dinner. we become hurried and
worried, and our hurry and worry makes
us nervous. cross and irritable. 50 that
we forget the sweet graccS and cOurte-
sizes of the season. and spoil the season
for ourselves and for all with whom
we have dealings. We forget that the
tired statesmen and SalcSwOmcn have DO
dies, and nerves and feelings. If in the
outcome Christmas does not become Il
hollow mOckcry for ourselves we make
il so for others. When the presents are
all bought. and the children are full
of JOY owe: the evidences we have Civ
"a them Of our love and munificcnce. il
may l. tha' the tired. Overworkcd PEG
pie who have catered to our needs and
have submitted to small exhibitions of
tempo may have been brought to hold
peculiar. and possibly unwholcSOmc
views Of what we call the merry Christ
mas time.
How easy to prevent all that by doing
our Christmas shopping early. with de
liberation. and ut our ease. All merchants
lay in Christmas supplies early enough
to make Christmas buying a thing Of
pleasure 10 all concerned. What Il pity
70 let Christmas shopping get in the
road of the Christmas spirit.

WHY 1T PAYS
TO ADVERTISE
BY HERBERT c. WAY.

There are many owners of enter
prises who must be convinced that ad-
vertising will benefit them. There
are many Others who believe they
should advertise. and would. If they
knew how
BY telling them what others have
done, are doing and how they did it,
1t Is possible to be an aid to them In
learning how to apply advertising to
their " particular needs.
They will learn through exchanging
and discussing experiences and plans
practised by others. These expert
ences and discussions are to be had
By reading, by association, by listen
ing to others talk and discuss adver-
Using.
When you once thoroughly feel the
necessity of advertising and begin Its
study 1t will be found to be one of the
most fascinating studies you can make.
lts foundation rests upon the science
Of psychology. What is more enter
tanning than studying how to infu-
ence and direct other peoples minds
to follow yours?
Every advertiser is or should be a
firm believer in bringing to the non
advertiser a knowledge of the benefits
to be derived from honest, truthful adj.
vertising.
The influence produced by the ad-
yertising of al article, a city or state.
by several individuals, is catholic.
The catholicism, even though each de-
sires to sell only his own particular
goods, in proportion, creates a greater
demand than does a single advertiser.
Each thereby receives greater returns
han if he had the entire field and had
to develop 1t himself.

hdence has been imposed upon by dis
honest advertisers This has caused
some doubt to exist as to the truth.

ly successful.
You have heard men say that they
don't believe In advertising, that they
give the customer the benefit saved
thereby. That sounds very. nice to the
customer who anti to believe 1t
without investigating. Have you ever
found that be sold as good goods at a
better 1rice than the man who adver-
tises?
Who pays for the advertising, any.
how?
The advertiser doesn't, for he would
go broke. The consumer doesn't, for
he would refuse to trade with the ad-
vertiser.
Nobody pays for it-but 1t pays

cost is cut from so to 100 per cent.
The advertiser then finds that BY

people who before could not afford to
