The Man Who Retreats Before
His Defeat.

Advertising Isn't magic. There IL no
element of the black art about 1t. In
its best and highest form it is plain
talk. sane talk-seIIIns 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-
tons and workings Of publicity.
The first is to advertise promises
which will not be fuIfIIed,-because
all that advertising can do when 1t
accomplishes most IL 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 1t 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
it would be for your neiehbor to rob
a bank and make you responsible for
his misdeed. In brief, advertised dis
honesty Is even more profitless than
UNEMPLOYED deception.
The other great error In advertising
is to expect more out Of advertising
than there II In II.
Advertising 10 sssd which . mer.
chant plants In the confidence Of the
community. He must allow time for
1t to grow. Every successful adver-
tiser has to be patient. The time that
1t takes to arrive at results rests en-.
drely with the ability and determine.
ton 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 . week, and
because your store isn't crowded, say
1t hasn't paid you. 1t takes q certain
period to attract the attention of
readers. Everybody doesn't see what
you print the first time 1t appears.

Gigantic Swindles
By New York Man.

New York, Feb. 6.-Lorenzo B.
Adams, arraigned before the United
States commissioner today as mall
swindler had, according to the charges
of the post office inspectors, developed
his art to such degree that his VIC
tins were not individuals but corpora
lions. He was accused of swindling the
the promoters of newly formed stock
companies out of 100000 by selling
them worthless service whereby he
promised to exploit and sell their Sc
curities.
p. w Branni, secretary of the Co.
operative Mining and Development
Co. of Walla Walla, Wash, charged
that Adams falsely represented that he
had an organized force Of statesmen in
New England and large clientele of
investors who would purchase stocks
and bonds he recommended.
Adams denied the charges and gave
$4,000 bail for examination next Tues
day.
