THE CUSTOMERS VIEWPOINT
Copyright 1912 by Geo. E. Patterson

Copyright 1919 by Geo. I. Patterson
II is idle folly for the merchant to 90 att the problem of business
building without considering the customers viewpoint.
The customers differ wonderfully in their ideas, their likes and dis
likes; but the minds Of the customers act much alike in a general way
They anayze things in much the same way and have much the same
viewpoint. Were this not true the problem of advertising would be i'm
possible of solution, a IS the advertiser would then be compelled to have
as many different kinds of appeal as there are individuals. But human
nature Is much the same, and the problem for the advertiser Is to
strike a character IF advertising his goods that appeals to most of the
people and his success is assured.
There is nothing mor useful for the advertiser than to put himself
In the customers place and get the customers vision of things. The
advertiser thus learns why the customer wants the goods and why he
buys the goods all Of which is essential to the advertiser in properly
advertising the goods.
A most valuable advantage to the advertiser Is to have the article
Tor sale use by a few who heartily recommend it. This is the best
kind of argument to induce hosts Of Others to try the article. People
want to know a IN article is In common use, and then they rush for II
simply because II Is in use. In this way the advertiser corras the
customers viewpoint.
A merchant may fill his ads with Understanding phrases, giving cut
prices, etc, but II he does OF study the conditions of his prospective
customers, construct advertisements that attract the customers atten-
tion, and interest and convince him by advertising from the customers
viewpoint he cannot be at all certain Of his results.

FIELD WORKER
BEGINS LABORS

LaMoure Chronicle: The good farm
ceedine merrtly at this writing, the
project taking more tangible form UNI
der recent developments. Last Friday
morning, c.. M. Holbert, secretary of
the LaMoure County Better Farming
association, appeared before the board
of county commissioners and present
ed to them a literally signed petition
asking for the better farming appro-
priation. The county dads, after talk
ing the matter over with Mr.. Holbert,
who by the way has been one of the
most prominent of the promoters Of
the LaMoure County Better Farming
movement, decided to make a levy Of
] one-haif mill as is designated and per-
mitted by law. Although the assess
ment returns are not quite completed,
the one-half mill tax will be levied
upon about $4,000, 900 of property, or,
In other words. will create a farming
and soil survey fund of about SO, 900.
This official action of the county faith
ers appears in the commissioners pro-
ceedings.
At the present time Prof. Herbert
A. Hard of the N. D. A. C. and his
corps Of three assistants have COM
pleted the soil survey in about seven
townships. Their work will be thor
ough and authoritative, giving every
farmer an accurate analysis Of the
soil constituency of his farm and af-
fording him an approximate appraisal
of his FARMS value. Professor Hard
believes that with good luck the soil
survey may be completed in the fall of
1914. He will endeavor to complete
preliminary soil maps. in fifteen
months and the complete federal soil
maps within two years.
At the present time the state silo
expert Scof1eld Is busily engaged in
the western part Of the county, where
according to The Edgeley Mail, some
fifteen silos may be constructed this
year.
On Tuesday Of this week, the field
farm worker referred to last week, ar
rived at LaMoure. He is a married
man with two daughters, a Mr.. j. M.
Humphreys, who for the past three
years has been superintendent of
an agricultural high school. He
farm in Green Lake county, Wis, and
consequently has had many years of
practical experience in addition to his
technical knowledge which he acduir-
ed by a thorough course at the callege
Of agriculture of. the University of
Wisconsin. Indeed, he has been engag-
I'd in farming work, either in the prac-
tlce OF FARMING or as an agricultural
instructor, all his life. MT. Humphreys
Is a middle-aged man on the near side
to 40. and is. a pleasant and engaging
gentleman to meet, He plans to make
LaMoure his headquarters and estab-
fish an office in the city so that he
may be reached or interviewed readily.
Just now the house renting problem
Is engaging his attention. However,
Mr.. Humphreys hopes to be Settled
down" and ready to enter upon his
duties in about a week. The Chronicle
Is glad to welcome MI. Humphreys and
hopes that his coming will be produc-
tive of much good. .f.

VALLEY CITY HAS
AN AVIATOR

Valley City Courier: Some weeks
ago The Courier scribe visited the
large shed UP over the hill to see
the flying machine in process of build
ing by Mr.. B. M. Metcalf. AT that
time 1t was only in the embryonic
stage but it looked feasible Just the
same and we mentioned it quite ex-
tens1vely In these columns. Yester-
day we We're invited by Mr.. Met
cali, along with many other citizens
OF the city, to again see this mach
inc in It's more advanced and almost
complete stage Of the building pro-
cess. The flying machine is now
about ready for a flight In the air
and we expect the inventor will soon
give a demonstration in the air. On
the occasion of our visit yesterday
the machine was run out of its shed
and propelled across the ground UNI
der it's own power, demonstrating
that it had the power necessary TO
push 1t along at a high rate of speed,
Ihe machine did not have its steer
ing apparatus attached SO that a
raise from the ground was not at
tempted. The planes have been at.
tached and the machine presents the
appearance of a huge bird with wings
outstretched. Mr., Metcalf is to be
congratulated upon the success he has
attained SO far and we are eagerly
waiting 0 for the time when he
viii be able to show from practical
,a1f1al demonstration that he has a.
real flying machine-and we think he
has one. This opinion present at the.
demonstration given is shared by a.
majority Of h crowd yesterday.

Farm BOYS CAMP
WAS ended TODAY

Grand Forks, N. D., July 26.-One of
the most successful farm boys camps
In h history Of the Better. Farming
association came to an end today.
The final reports were written dur
Ing the morning and camp was brok-
EN- this afternoon.
Officers In charge are enthusiastic
over n arrangements made for the
embryo farmers by the fair association
and to show their appreciation the
boys entertained the directors Of the
fair at an elaborate dinner yesterday
afternoon.
So successful has been this camp
that 1t is the intention of the officers
OF the Better Farming association to
continue 1t on even a larger scale next
year in order that every farm boy in
the state may obtain the instruction
given. To take hold of the Boy when
he is wavering between the choice of
a life on a farm or the life of the city
and to show him that the farm is a
business and an important one, is a
work that will make itself felt in the
state and the enthusiasm with which
it is carried On indicates it's success.
