HABIT OF READING ADS
COPYRIGHT 1912 by Geo. z. patter,

Copyright 1sl2 by Geo. z. Patterson
L s always interesting to ask people how much Of the advertise
ments they read. The answer In a majority Of cases Is, "a don't read
the ads" Let US examine this.
Man is a creature of habit. He is doing things, unintentionaUy and
unknowinely every day from force of habit He reads the newspapers
for new because II has become a habit and he has unintentonalIy
acquired the habit Of gancing at the ads. This Is evident a when
people buy soap, baking powder, canned goods, etc, they buy a certain
kind. Why? Because they have unknowingy read and been influenced
by advertising. We generally buy products that are we'll advertised.
unless the ads are attractive. The advertiser should 10 construct each
Id a to catcha and hold the casual glance of the reader. 1t is captur-
ing the casual glance that counts. That glance must interest the reader
in the subject matter of the ad, and when that interest is created the
chances are certain that the reader will want to read the ad to the
end. " an ad isn't read, it's dead"
II is a matter of common knowledge that a reader peruses the
paper for the new whatever the ews may be. The news the reader
is looking for is the new that interests. Therefore II pays the adver-
tiser to 20 construct his ads, giving business news, as Il attract and
interest the reader. Why is 1t that department store, house furnishing,
and automobile advertisements are read so generally? Because they
contains 81 much interesting matter of news value.
Whether or not ads arr read depends upon whether o r not the ads
WORTH reading. The reader tells at a glance whether or not he
wants to read a ad, and II he does not II is the advertisers fault. II
the advertiser wants his ads read he must educate himself to write ads
worth reading.

SOLVES COTTON
PLANTERS TROUBLE
OKLAHOMA MAN lNVENTS MA.
CHINE TO MAKE PLANTING OF
COTTON EASY.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 25.-A working
model of a machine desibned to re-
move short lint from cotton seed af
ter it has passed through the GIN,
and thus make even planting of the
seed less difficult, has been made by
the Oklahoma Novelty Manufacturing
company of this city for b. G. Patter-
son, the inventor.
Mr.. Patterson is an experienced cot.
ton gin operator. For some time he
has been working on an invention for
removing the lint from cottonseed
which causes it to clog planting ma
chimes and result in uneven distribu-
ton of seed. The new macrine now on
exhibition at II South Robinson, is
claimed by the inventor to be the
solution of the cotton planters diff.
ficulties.
Seed from the gin is placed in a
hopper of the machine and passed
through a flame of burning kerosene
vapor A screen separates the good
seed from trash and the flame singes
off the short lint from the seed. Seed
treated by this process, asserts the in
ventor, will not clog any planter and
will permit much less quantity TO
be used than is necessary under ori-
nary treatment, and yet secure an
even stand
When planted direct from the gin
cottonseed must be thickly dstrib
uted in the field to avoid spots of
thin stand Later the thick stand has
to be thinned or chopped" necessi- |
tating extra labor more than is neces.
sary in cultivation of other crops.
This labor will be eliminated by the
Slngeing machine, says the inventor
