Just before we stepped around l heard
deep masculine voice Of nineteen or
twenty blurt out: Susie, did you ever
care for another man as you do for
me?'

ADVERTISIaG-G9oD AND BAD
Every Merchant Should Give Careful
Attention to This Important Branch
of His Business.

1t is pretty generally conceded that
no business that is growing can be
well run without organization and sys-
TEN. No man gets the full results out
of his business organization, or Is
able to make his business system
work perfectly, unless he Deputies
special duties to his employees special
ly qualified to fulfill them, and gives
himself freedom to oversee the whole
and direct the main policies. But no
amount of organization or system Is
sufficient. The most perfectly equip
ped piece of commercial machinery
will lie idle unless it has business.
The way to get business is to ad-
vertise.
There is good advertising and bad
advertising-and advertising that Ia
best. There Is no good cause in which
a man or company can waste more
money than In bad advertising, while
good advertising never fails to get
business for any firm, which has some
thing that people would really want II
they knew about it.
The practical advertising expert to-
day must not only have an artistic
sense of illustration and type display,
but he must have the newspaper mans
specially developed faculty for seiz-
Ing features of news value and his gift
of tense, striking description. That
Is, the best advertising ideas come to-
hn
No man is a great power alone. No
matter what his strength may be, that
strength is doubled when he allies
himself with another man for :. com.
mon purpose. When hundred men
combine, the strength is increased
hundredfold. Ideas do not spring spon-
taneously out of nothing. They are
born of suggestion. Ideas are like flint
and steel; they strike sparks from
each other. Men combined for a COM
mon purpose not only increase their
strength, but sharpen each others wits
and generate ideas in each other.
Many places of business as whole,
says the Williamsport (Pa.) Sun, are
not advertising as they should be, as
the stores deserve, in order to get the
best results. The merchant who does
not give as much time and attention to
the subject of advertising and sales
manship in disposing of his goods as
he does to other departments of his
store, is truly lost in his efforts to
serve the buying public, as well as in
successfully disposing of his merchan-
disc
