ADVERTISING TO GET RESULTS
The Right Kind Certain to Bring an
Increase Of Business.

Increase of Business.
Advertising is simple to some PEG:
pie and very difficult and complicated
to others. The former class never
spends a dollar on printing ink with
out the assurance Of good returns. The
other class sometimes spends thou
sands Of dollars without the slightest
| result.
Is it a mystery? Not at all. A thor
oughly experienced person can tell be-
forehand whether an advertising cam
paign will pay. 1t is not easy to say
just what form of advertisement will
| give the best results, but it is easy
enough to select the method Of adver-
Using which will give such results.
There is a right way and a wrong
way Of conducting an advertising cam
paign. and good advertisements and
good mediums may prove worthless If
the advertiser has chosen the wrong
way.
Speaking generally. the mail order
system is one Of the wrong ways, al
though it may pay individuals. 1t is
merely a substitute. a temporary sub
s%titute, for the true and tried old sys-
tenn of retailing merchandise. Take
the case Of the retail grocer who sells a
private blend of tea and who. is trying
to build a big demand through the.
mails. He may ultimately create a fair
business by mail, but it should be. OBJ
vious ven to himself that a far wider
outlet awaits a similar article pushed
through the usual trade channels.
Mail order business is an unnatural
business and is not likely to be. a per-
manent feature of the. country's com
merce.
The magic of advertising? That's
right. The magician's wand cannot do
the expected job with one wave, how
ever. nor car it work its. wonders
through a single. class of. mediums.
The public must be reached, and
each of these branches of the adver-
Using job must receive proper treat
ment. If one is. neglected in the least
there will be disappointment. The
retailers advertising task is, as a rule,
much simpler than the manufacturers.
except, of course. when he wishes to
push his own private brands into gen.
eral distributive channels.

HOLD BIG PICNIC TO MAKE
TOWN RECREATION PARK.
Wenonah Men Swing Axes While Wo.;
mon Prepare Dinner For Toilers.rYsE

The good folk of Wenonah, N. j., re-
Gently decided to have Il public recrea-
ton park. Just how to get it, however,
was the question. Mayor G. Fowler
Cline and the officers of the Wenonah
Mutual Improvement association after
discussing various plans decided that
the best way was to call on the citi-
zens and boys and girls of the town
for aid.
A big picnic was organized, and after
a day of labor, mingled with merri-
ment, the picnickers saw their new
recreation park we'll established. All
day the men swung axe or scythes,
the boys chopped with hatchets, and
the women and the girls raked or pre-
pared good things to eat.
When darkness put an end to the
work the little army Of axmen and
rakers had cleared a large tract in the
thirty acres of woodland skirting We
nonah lake and made it suitable for
picnics and all sorts Of healthy recrea-
tons for the t~ownspeople.
The thirty acre tract was acquired by
the borough a year ago, when it pur-
chased its waterworks, and is one of
the most beautiful spots in this region.
The council recently voted to permit
the Mutual Improvement association
to establish a park on this land. With
out waiting for a municipal appropria-
ton to improve the place the associa-
ton called for volunteers and held its
town picnic, with the result that the
park is now assured.
While the men worked the women of
the town prepared a picnic dinner in a
large circus tent on the shore of the
lake and at noon fed more than $50
hungry workers.
The roadbed Of the old Cape May
railroad runs through the park, and
this is to be later converted into a
boulevard, skirted by artificial lakes,
running from Wenonah to Woodbury.
and avoiding the dangerous crossings
Of the electric shore line. Ties torn
from the old railroad, which was aban-
doned several years ago when the line
was strengthened, were torn up and
the sound ones used for building
bridges. Great quantities Of brush
were cut away, and an expert forester
marked diseased trees, which will later
be felled.

To Kill Germs In Streets.

The destruction of dust germs in
streets and cutters through the use Of
a city street sprinkler is recommend
ed by Thomas H. Ham, an attorney
OF Albany. N. Y. He suggests that a
bag Of sulphate Of iron, placed in the
water tank sufficient in amount to
make a l per cent solution, would
kill innumerable dust germs and para
sites.
1.-The mayors Of the cities of the state
should try the plan in the interest of
public health" said Mr.. Ham.
This method would prove very mex
pensive and tend to lessen those dis.
eases which are spread through the
germs in dust.

IN REALTY CIRCLES

What can be done to give Atlanta
relief in the matter of broader and
better graded streets and more paw
ing where it is badly needed?
Now that West Peachtree regrad.
ing is under way, people are suggest
ing that it would be as we'll to widen
the thoroughfare now, rather than be
faced with more intricate problems in
the hereafter. The widening of
Peachtree is also wanted, before big
buildings are built flush with the
sidewalk, and widening will cost ten
times as much a few years hence
A well-known realty dealer de-
clared the other day that he favored
a $20,000,000 issue of bonds, to be
paid by posterity when there is more
money than there is now. This, he
said, would make Atlanta ship shape
and a place really worth living in.
Another dealer favored bonds, but he
was not so ambitious in the amount.
He asked for 100000, with which
he said the city could at least pave
it's streets.
This street question is a vexing
one" he declared. 1.-The same ma
terial is called for in Western Heights
that is laid on Whitehall. the differ
ence being that Whitehall gets as
phalt and Western Heights nothing
but promises. Council intends to do
its duty by the outlying districts, but
the day never comes. Then why not
make temporary improvements at
One-tenth the cost rather than no i'm
provements at all?
"Cinders and gravel make a side
walk or a street paving that is fairly
good for ordinary purposes and that
will last ten years. Maybe at the end
of the decade there will be money
enough for asphalt or macadam. and
in the meantime the citizens have had
the advantage of improvements that
have enabled them to keep out of the
mud. A man who can't afford to
build a mansion dosen't go out and
sleep in the trees. He builds bunga-
low for $1,000 and lives in it ten years,
until he can have more pretentious
house. The same principle should
work in city paving.
"As for grades, all the streets now
being worked should be fixed def
nitely and finally now. Under the
present scheme, a man builds his
house on a high lot and far back from
the sidewalk. His neighbor builds
on a low lot and jam-up up to the
street. These things should be regu-
lated after a definite plan, and the
city would find that it had saved
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
much trouble after a few years"

National Bank Building) on the south,
Edgewood avenue and Exchange

The most genuine cluster of sky

A well-known developer of real es-
tate explained Saturday that the sky
scraper district occupied a wide area
because desirable corners in the CEN
ter could not be secured by people
who wanted to erect high buildings.
Substantial low structures, built many
years ago are Welding such a good
percentage on investments that own
| ers won't tear them away.
When a man gets along in years
his ambition is usually to have lit
tie place in the country where he can
relax from business cares and spend
his time Cultivating a garden patch
and possibly an apple orchard. The
skyscraper life is essentially for the
young man who has the strength to
weather the commercial storms that
beset him, and the man of gray hairs
seeks to draw away into more peace
full and quiet surroundings.
Atlanta f1nanciers who have passed
into the autumn" are still as active
as the youngest, but few of them
have failed to provide a choice spot
out in the country where they can go
when they are bent on retiring.

MILLIONS ARE
NORTHWESTERN
SKYSCRAPERS
Fourteen Office Buildings Worth
S6,lOO,OOO-First Erected J"
Early Nineties and Hurts Last.

With the corppIetion of the Hurt
and Healev buildings, Atlanta has a
skyscrsper total of II and a total
voHe in the higher buildings Of
S6'lOO,OOO and an estimated aggre-
gate value of $1O,OOO,OOO in all kinds
OF Office buildings, big and little.
The Hurt Building is valued at
100000.
The Healey will be completed
about January 1, at a cost of 5000, 900,
and will be finished later to cover
the entire block bounded by Forsyth,
Walton, Broad and Poplar streets.
The Fourth National cost $500, 900,
as did the Gambler Building.
The Empire Building cost half a
million, and the Equitable cost about
the same, or something less.
Cost of Bank Buildings.
The Atlanta National and the
Third National Bank Buildings cost
$450,000 each.
The Grant Building cost 1926, 900,
and the Austell Building $315,000
The Empire Life and Forsyth
Buildings cost 100000 each.
The Peters Building cost $120, 900.
The Steiner-Emery Building cost
$4,000, the Thrower Building $65, 900,
the Atlanta Trust Building 100000
and the Rhodes Building $4,000.
The Oldest Office building in Allan
ia is the Equitable Building, which
was constructed in the early nineties,
and failure was predicted for it..
Tenants soon filled it, however, and
at no time in office building history
has there been any trouble filling
slIyscrapers with tenants.
Another Skyscraper Due.
Application for a permit to build
the Austell Building was made July
16, 1896, for the Empire Life Build
ing, May 5, 1897, and for the Grant
Building, October 20, 1897. The date
for the Empire Building was August
,, 1900, for the Atlanta National Bank
Building. October 80, 1901, for the
Fourth National Bank Building, Au-
gust IS, 1908, and for the Gambler
Building. August 9, 1904. The Third
National date was April s, 1910, the
Healey, October II, 1912, and the
Il1rt, the same day.
Intense interest centers in an
no1ncement of plans for the next
Office building There are several
sites under consideration and sew
eTal parties figuring. Inasmuch as it
requires a yeaE or more to plan a
skyscraper, a declaration of inten-
tons from some source is expected at
any time.

The average subdivision inside the
city limits is in a peculiar position.
