OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SUCCESS OF H. G. SELFRlDeE
Increase In London Business Due to
Liberal Advertising Policy Of
Former Chicagoan.

The career OF Harry G. Selfridge In
London has been watched with a
great deal of interest by American
business men on account OF his activ-
tiles in Chicago a swell as his pop
ularity with all classes
Recently a report was issued by
SHlfridge & Co., covering their oper-
ations for the year 1912. It shows
that the profits of that firm for that
year were 100000. as compared with
s250,000 for the year 1911. After
charging of nearly 100000 to de-
benture interest and 100000 divi
dend on preferred stock, Selfridge G.
Co had a profit balance for the year
1912 of more than 100000, as com
pared with $4,000 for the year 1911.
Closing their books for the year
the firm has charged off practically
$4,000 for preliminary expenses.
100000 for commission to under
writer's and about $4,000 for fix.
lures. After disposing OF interest,
dividend and other expenses mention
ed, the company shows a net balance
OF $4,000.
On the basis of the figures for
1912 and having disposed OF all
charges relating to preliminary organ
ization, Selfridge e Co. should have
more than 100000 for dividends In
1913.
Chicago business men regard this
as a remarkable showing consider
ing the energetic competition Mr. Sell
fridge encountered soon after open
ing his store. London papers agree
that the phenomenal success of the
store is due to the liberal advertising
policy Mr.. Selfridge has maintained
since opening his store.

PUBLIC OBJECTS TO
ADS IN CIRCULARS
Wide Feeling Against Handbills
Which Litter Up Streets
and PorcheS.

There is not wanting evidence that
there is a growing public feeling
against the abuse of advertising by
circulars. whether these are sent by
mail or are delivered by hand, locally.
Recently a correspondent of the New
York Herald wrote that paper:
For years / have been steadfast in
refusing to deal with anybody who
puts advertising in my letter box. If
every tradesman pursued this absurd
method advertising my trousers would.
always be baggy, my carpets would re-
main forever uncleaned and l would
do my marketing in New Jersey"
Doubtless there are many other men
who feel as this correspondent does,
for advertising Of this sort is an I'M
mitigated nuisance. When the adver-
Using circular is sent by mail, with
the proper postage prepaid, it is bad
enough, and in so far as it helps to
swell the postal revenue and so helps
to bear the burden of carrying the reg
ular and important mails is not alto
gether to be condemned But there Is
no excuse for the tradesmen who EN-
ploy agents to fill private letter boxes,
intended for the reception OF the regu-
lar mail, with their useless literature.
And on one other ground we believe
that the private citizen has a right to
protest against the advertising circu-
lar. One OF the chief trades that often
offends in this regard Is the patent
medicine vender. His circulars are
thrust into letter boxes, scattered over
lawns that, in any case, are hard
enough to keep clean and neat, and
even jammed under the front door
Many of these circulars are atrocious
in their frank discussion of the numer-
Gus ills ito which flesh is heir" and
TO add to the horror of the letterpress
they are often eked out with gaudy
colored pictures of various parts Of the
human anatomy. 1t is more than lit
tie task to keep this grewsome and
unwholesome literature out of the
hands of children, for when the adver-
tiser gets busy such circulars are on
every hand.
So much OF this sort of circular ad-
the streets and alleys, filling the gar
bage cans and littering the front
porches that 1t should seem that ad-
vertisers must realize what a wasteful
and useless form of advertising this
is. Probably there is no form of print
ed literature in so low repute as the
circular. 1t has nothing back Of 1t; it
is an unwelcome visitor; usually its
Objectionable features are recognized
at a glance as 1t goes into the waste
paper basket unopened.
The public that purchases looks to
the reputable newspaper for the adver-
tisements OF the goods 1t wants, for
behind such advertising there is char
acter Against the characterless ad-
vertising circular. that is a public and /
a private nuisance, there should be an
ordinance enacted that would check
the industry and which would certain
ly go long way toward helping keep |
the city clean.
