advertisement or anything else.
CHURCH SHOULD ADVERTISE
Must Warm Up and Stand on Same
Footing II They Are to At
tract the People.

Jerome d. Barnum gave the mem.
bers of the Syracuse Ministerial as
sociation some sound ideas on church
advertising at recent meeting OF
that body, when he said:
The church today must come down
from above and stand on the same
footing, the same foundation, as the
business man. The church must reach
out and tell its story to those thou
sands who won't answer its call
why is 1t that the theater attracts
so many thousands where the church
fails? Because It tells its story. 1t in
terests the public, 1t awakens curips-
ity and desire to see and listen.
The church today, my friends. from
an advertising mans opinion. from
the outside, is too cold. It must be
made to hustle with human interest.
Its music, SO sweet and beautiful.
must be sung in advance just as the
advance agent OF the theater awak-
ems the spirit OF the multitude for his
wonderful troupe.
Il believe II the churches would de-
vote one.half the amount OF money
to advertising which they give yearly
to the cause of missions they would
bring into their buildings twice the
number of converts that the mission
aries enroll. Use the newspapers to
tell your story and tell 1t we'll"

Advertising Of the Future.

The advertising Of the future, ] be-
lieve, will be what the best advertis-
ing of the present is-a simple, direct,
plainly worded but readably written
description of the goods, with pos
sibly word or two Of explanation of
the low price, If low price there hap
pens to be. That power which was
for years. and in some stores still is,
devoted purely to literary expression,
to the skillful turn OF phrase and
the careful balancing of sentence,
will now be given to a study Of the
goods and the development Of talking
points. "-George H. Perry.

ADVERTISING WILL
PAY SMALL SHOP
BY WIN. c. FREEMAN.

Chicago newspapers are making a
steadily increasing showing Of small
advertisers-small announcements of
merchants who conduct small shops in
Chicago.
According to. q statement made re-
Gently. these stores, collectively, have
used so pages more of space this year
than they did last year. Clearly indi-
eating that their advertising pad

The increased space alone. repre-
sents as much as some very big stores
use In the whole year, not only In Chi
cago, but in many other of the big
cities of the United States.
This is proof conclusive that the
merchant with small shop and good
merchandise can use small space prof
itably In newspapers. even in a big
city, and II he can do that in a big
city. how much more effectively can
it be done in smaller communities?
A great many beginners at adver-
Using, and great many merchants
who advertise systematically. hesitate
to undertake an advertising campaign
because OF the feeling that they. stand
very poor chance Of getting adequate
returns because Of their inability to
buy big space in the newspapers.
But 30 much interest In taken in ad-
vertising in newspapers today--it is
SO thoroughly read by all Of the people
because the people realize that adver-
tisements are real news and tell them
something they should know that

brings splendid returns.
The results In Chicago demonstrate
that small merchants can advertise In
local newspapers in accordance with
their means. basing their expenditure
on a small percentage Of their gross
business, and profit by it.
And In every community there are
many stores whose business can be
materially increased by the same
method.
