to do too much. That's right, as
sure as you are on terra firma. They
expect an ad to attract attention;
make the selling talk, and bring the
order. Look over some of the ads in
the magazines and take notice how
much some advertisers are expecting
from poorly written, poorly display
ed ad. "Oh," you say, 1.-THE pub
Usher is responsible for the poorly
displayed advertisements. You're
wrong again. That is, in most in
stances. When an advertiser sends
in enough copy to fill eight or ten
inches of space. and makes the re-
quest that it be in serted in two in

publisher leaves out half the reading

could not turn them into orders

great injustice to the publisher; yes
it is. He tries his level best to make
your advertising profitable Yes he
does. You can say what you please
about a newspaper or magazine man
being out for the money, regardless
of the returns his advertisers derive
from money spent with him, but you
will never convince me that most men
in the publishing business, directly
interested in the papers they repre-
sent, are not anxious to see their
patrons get the business. Most pub
fishers work hard, show many cour-
tesies little appreciated by the adj
vertiser in an effort to bring business
to the advertiser. Short, friendly
reading notices cost money, they sure
do, and they do much toward bring
ing inquiries. But what method does
the advertiser use when the inquiry
is received?
Stationery-A man comes to your
home, or your Office. You do not
know him; he is stranger; you do
not know where he came from OF
what he wishes. You have lived
several years on this old earth, no
doubt, and you have become ac-
customed to sizing up people from
their dress and making estimates OF
your visitors, quickly. His dress-to
be sure the dress does not make the
man. but it covers the man, or the
greater part of him, and it may be
presumed to reflect his tastes and to
this extent his social position.
A letter comes to your hands. The
envelope bears an unknown inscrip'
