The Man Who Retreats Before
His Defeat.

Advertising Isn't magic. There is no
element of the black art about It. In
its best and highest form it is plain
talk. sane talk-seIIlne talk. Its re
suits are In proportion to the merit OF
the subject advertised and the ability
with which the advertising is done.
There are two great obstacles to ad-
vertising profit. and both of them
arise from ignorance of the real func-
tions and workings of publicity
The first is to advertise promsec
which will not be fuIfiIled,-because
all that advertising can do when 1t
accomollshes most is to influence the
reader to Investigate your claims
II you promise the earth and de-
liver the moon, advertising will not
pay you.
II you bring men and women to
your store on pretense and fail to
make good, advertising will have
harmed you, because II has only drawn
attention to the fact that you are to
be avoided.
II Is as unjust to charge advertising
with failure under these conditions, as
IL Woulu De TOT your nciQhbor to rob
a bank and make you responsible for
i,is misdeed. In brief. advertised dis.
honesty Is even more profitIess than
unexpIoted deception.
The other great error in advertising
is to expect more out OF advertising
than there is In II.
Advertising Is seed which a mer-
chant plants In the confidence Of the
community. He must allow time for
II to grow. Every successful adyer-
tiser has. to be patient. The time that
II takes to arrive at results rests en-
tirely with the ability and determine
tion devoted to the work But you
cannot turn back when you have trav-
eled half way and declare that the
path is wrong.
You can't advertise for a week, and
because your store isn't crowded. say
1t hasn't paid ynu. 1t takes a certain
period to attract the attention OF
readers Everybody doesn't see what

bloom. Her father had to explain to
her that plants require roots and that.
although she could not see what was
going on. the seeds were doing their
most important work Just before tho
flowers showed above ground.
So advertising is doing its most I'M

The Pass of ThermopyIae.

Herxes once led million soldiers
out of Persia In an effort to capture
Greece. but his invasion failed utterly.
because Spartan captain had en-
trenched a hundred men in narrow
mountain pass which controlled the
road into Lacedaemon. The man who
was first on the ground had the ad-
vantage.
Advertising is full OF opportunities
for men who are first on the ground.
There are hundreds of advertising
passes waiting for some one to occupy
them. The first man who realizes that
his line will be held by publicity has a
tremendous opportunity. He can gain
an advantage over his competitors
that they can never possess. Those
who follow him must spend more
money to equal his returns. They
must not only. invest as much. to get
as much, but they must. as we'll. spend
an extra sum to counteract the influ-
ence that he has already established
in the community.
Whatever men sell whether II is
actual merchandise or brain vibrations,
can be more easily sold with the aid
OF advertising. Not one-half of the
businesses which should be exploited
are appearing In the newspapers.
Trade grows as reputation grows and
advertising spreads reputation.
If you are engaged In a line which
is waiting for an advertising pioneer.
realize what wonderful chance you
have of being the first of your kind to
appeal directly to the public. You
stand a better chance of leadership
than those who have handicapped their
strength by permitting you to get on
the ground before they could outstrip
you. You gain prestige that those
who follow you must spend more
money to counteraot.
If your particular line is similar to
some other trade or business which
has already been introduced to the
reading public, it's up to you to start
in right now and join your competitors
in contesting for the attention of the
community. The longer you delay the
more you decrease your chances of
surviving. Every man who outstrips
you is another opponent. who must be
met and grappled with for the right
Of way.

A ONE-PIECE dress, with a skirt
"A having a long Russian tunic, ia
shown hero as an unusually good
model for the slender and immature
figure of the nearly grown girl. This
dress is designed for the corsetless
hgure and leaves nothing to be de-
sired as model for the miss who Is
finishing her school days. The skirt
is set on to the bodice and has a high
waist line. The bodice is supported
by light underwaist and thus the
weight of the garment is hung from
the shoulders as well as the hips.
Firmly woven lightweight serges and
other close weaves are appropriate
for this dress. Supple materials that
fall gracefully are the best choice.
There Is an under petticoat. OF lin

skirt is cut to instep length and of

straight panel at the front. The plaits
are stitched down to the swell OF the
hips and fall free from there to the
bottom. The panel is finished with a
