billboard advertising" declared Ma,
thaniel B. Fowler, Jr., In an address,
before the Get Together club Of the.
Jordan Marsh company Of Boston.
Advertising should, in my opinion,
be done entirely through the great
national medium of the newspapers
and periodicals, which are seen only
by those who buy and wish to read
them. From my rs years of expert
ence in the advertising business can
positively say that 95 per cent Of the
best advertisers in this country use
only this medium"

GROCERY
STORE ADVERTISING
BY VIM. C. FREEMAN.

Nobody would pick out Lynn, Mass.
"a city with population less than
100,000-as having the largest grocery
and provision store under one. owner
ship In the United States, but 1t is al
fact nevertheless.
The owner of this great establish
ment admits frankly that one of the
reasons why his grocery and pro-
vision store Is 80 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 It 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 60 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 as;
many entire grocery stores. In this
department every known cracker Of
merit can be found. They could tell,
and did tell, very interesting story
about this department, and that Is the
way they did with all the other de-
partments Of the store.
After while the owner got into the
spirit Of advertising what
great thing 1t was to him In his busi-
ness; SO when it came around to an
anniversary date he used full page
an unusual thing for a country store
to do.
The success of that advertisement
was instantaneous. The crowd that
responded was SO great that the side
walks were blockaded and extra po-
lice were called to take care Of the
people. They have been users Of
newspaper space ever since.
Grocery advertising, like every 9TH
er kind, creates more interest II a
story Is told and not too much stress
laid upon mere price list of articles
The owner Of this particular store:
makes flis advertising OF general In
terest and al of the people OF Lynn
and vicinity respond to It generonstf
