the motorman turns the water OH, thus
wetting the track and giving a quiet turn.
Only one objection has been heard as a
result of this improvement. One man
lives far enough from a certin corner not
to have been troubled by the screeching,
but he has used that noise as q signal for
him to leave his home to catch a car.

Advertising Of citIes.

Advertising is the life of trade. The
merchant advertises his goods to Sc
cure new customers and to attract old
ones. And for the same reasons cit
les and towns should advertise. It Is
surprising to note the number of
towns throughout the country that
have adopted some form Of public
ity. st. Louis merchants through
their chamber Of commerce will spend
100000 in 1918 to advertise st. Louis.
The state OF Minnesota has adopted
a law permitting villages and towns
to collect tax, the money to be used
to advertise the community Kansas
also has an advertising tax. And
then the people Of eastern villages
and towns are taking so many people
from the east. South Carolina has
organized an association which IL
spending a large advertising appro-
priation, while the various Michigan
and other resorts on the lakes are
conspicuous in publicity matters

In a state the size OF Iowa tree spar

Ad Hints
BY ]. r. HAMILTON.

Advertising is the cheapest
method of craftsmanship.
Ninety per cent. OF the people
are predisposed each day to
read the news. Therefore you
must seek to find the news
value In your advertising.
The store of today has be-
come a public institution and
has got to lead public life,
The store of the future will
deal in human interest more
than in commercial interests. II
will advertise more personality
and less merchandise. 1t will
be as much OF a woman's club
as a woman's buying place.
We are putting the best
brains into business; therefore
we have TO get the best brains
out OF business.
For the question. What kind
OF type shall useH" the answer
is the same as to What drinks
shall drink ?"-anything you
please, only don't mix them.
When you have done your
best you are all through.
II your advertising Is stupid
you have no right TO blame the
people for not reading II.
We were taught nearly fifty
years ago that a store must
have a code of ethics-the same
as a man. yet most of us
haven't learned II even today
We have nothing to offer but a
price and the man with a better
price ticks us TO a finlsb

The place OF advertising In mod
ern business is secure II occupies
the most important position notwith-
standing It's true functions are %
largely misunderstood. The merchant
princes. the monarchs Of manufactur.
ing. and the generals OF distribution
have found advertising absolutely es-
sential to the upbuilding and conduct
OF their enterprises
Advertising thus gives a manufac-
turer the power to produce trade for
the thing he Is best equipped to pro
duce. II eliminates competition. II
creates. forces. builds. II makes
things happen. Advertising IL 80
many-sided In It's character that It
deserves attention In connection with
every department OF business or
sanization. As already stated. Il will
produce desire; gratifed desire pro
duces habit, and habit produces busL
ness. But advertising does more than
thin. II makes sales Not In the
same sense as the salesman, for the
L. ~, L.
fields for usefulness and greater
emoluments for his efforts when he
co-operates with advertising
The one thing that should convince
the average business man who has
not given much time and thought to
advertising is that II has commercial
value OF the highest order: that II
really is higher evolution OF COM
merce and a marked improvement on
average commercial conditions. as Is
evidenced by the growing spirit on
the part OF owners of advertising
space to restrict the use of the same
to customers whose business is desir-
able. and also to censor the text mat
ter and. In some instances. even to
tone down the too free use OF heavy
faced type and vary display.
Napoleon would have made a grand
advertising man. When sought for
to 'quell riot raging In the streets
OF Paris. he was found in his attic,
alone and diligently studying the
streets OF the great city. When con-
fronted with the success OF his later
campaigns and realizing the import
ance OF having he masses with him.
he carefully calculated the effect OF
waiting before announcing his victo-
ries until he was able to date his dis
patch with the name OF the palace of
his defeated adversary. This intelli-
gent combination OF accurate knowi-
edge Of the real fundamental and sub
tie forces with the power to attract
and hold the ephemeral popular mind
is the wide range OF ability that the
advertising man who succeeds today
must possess.
