manding the execution of Francisco |.

force as the governor can equip to
take the field for Madero. Three

Madero stirred Aqua Prieta today It
is asserted that any summary action
in the case of Francisco Madero will
result in immediate action there.

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

Advertising is simple to some peo-
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
thousands of dollars without the
slightest result
Is it mystery? Not at all. A
thoroughly experienced person can
tell beforehand whether an advertis-
ing campaign will pay 1t is not easy
to say just what form of advertise
ment will give the best results, but it
is easy enough to select the method
of advertising which will give such
results.
There is right way and 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 maiI-order
system is one OF the wrong ways, al
though 1t may pay individuals 1t is
merely substitute, a temporary sub
stitute, 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 try
ing to build big demand through the
mails. He may ultimately create
fair business by mail, but it should
be obvious even to himself that far
wider outlet awaits a similar article
pushed through the usual trade chan
nels.
Mail order business is an unnatural
business and is not likely to be per-
manent feature Of the country's COM
merce.
The magic of advertising? That's
right. The magicians wand cannot
do the expected job with one wave
however, nor can It work its wonders
through 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 re-
tailer's advertising task is, as a rule,
much simpler than the manufacture
er's, except, of course, when he wishes
TO push his own private brands into
general distributive channels.
