HONESTY IN THE FAR NORTH
serupuIous Regards Of the Rights Of
Property Carried to Really Re-
markable Degree.

An interesting example of painstak-
ing honesty in the distant North Is
given in "A Summer and Winter on
Hudson's Bay" by Mr.. C. X. Leith and
Mr.. A. T. Leith. When the authors
geological expedition was wrecked in
terrific storm at Whale river, nearly
u hundred miles from the nearest
source Of food supply. 1t was necessary
for them to abandon q large part Of
their outfit. Nearly fifteen months
later they received a letter from the
Hudson's Bay house in London. an
nouncing that case Of goods for them
had been forwarded by freight, and in
closing a bill for three shillings and
sixpence.
In due time they got the box packed
exactly ss they had left 1t after the
wreck. Besides some very valuable
specimens. it contained two water
soaked cameras. some dip needles.
compasses. geological hammers. maps
and geological reports, pencils. one
glass bottle Of drawing ink, and 30
forth. This was the itinerary Of the
box.
Propped on poles to escape the raw
ages of foxes. 1t had remained until
the following winter. when Eskimos,
passing on their winter hunt. took the
box along on a toboggan and returned
with 1t in the spring to the post at
Great Whale river. When Hudson's
bay opened in the summer. the box
went out on the posts sailboat on the
annual trip to the central supply de-
ment Of the Hudson's Bay company on
Charlton island. some four hundred
miles distant. On the arrival of the
Hudson's Bay company's steamer DIS
covery from London. the box was put
on board. and carried to London. 1t
reached Mr.. Leith in Madison, Wis.,.
in January, 1911, after travelling $500
miles in at least flve different kinds Of
conveyances. at q cost Of $1.20.
On another occasion, q pocketbook
containing 20 cents was dropped ON q
portage. picked up, carried 200 miles.
and returned. Where else. asks Mr..
Leith. would such thing be possible!

Points on
Advertising
By HERBERT KAUFMAN
(Copyright.)
(Copyright)
Some Don'ts When You Do Ad-
vertiSe.

The price Of the gun never hits the
buII's eye,
And the bang seldom rattles the
bells.
It's the hand on the trigger that cuts
the real figure.
The aims what amounts-that's what
makes record counts
Are you hitting or just wasting
shells?
Don't forget that the man who writes
your copy is the man who aims your
policy.
When you stop to reflect what your
space costs and that the wrong talk
is just noIse-bang without bIh-you
must see the necessity and sanity of
putting the right man behind the gun.
Don't tolerate an ambition on your
adman's part to indulge in a lurking
desire to be a literary light.
People read his advertising to dis
cover what your buyers have just
brought in from the market and what
you are asking for 20. N. T." They
buy the Newspaper for information
and recreation and are satisfied with
the degree of poetry and persiflage
dished up in its reading columns.
Don't exaeeerate. Poetic licenses
are not valid in business prose. The
American people don't want to be
humbugged and the merchant who fig
ures upon too many fools finds him
self looking into q mirror, usually
about a half hour after the sheriff has
come to look over the premises.
Don't initiate. Advertising is q
special measure garment. Businesses
are not built in ready-made sizes. Copy
which fits somebody else's selling
plans won't fit your store without sag
ging ut the chest or riding up at the
collar. Duplicated argument and du-
plicated results are not twins. Your
policy of publicity must be specially
measured from your policy of mer-
chandising.
Don't put your advertising In charge
Of an amateur. Let somebody else
stand the expense Of his educational
blunders. Remember you are making
a plea before the bar of public conf
dence. Your adwriter is an advocate.
Like . bad lawyer, he can lose q good
case by not making the most Of the
facts At hand.
Don't get the "sales" habit SALES"
are stimulants. When held too often
their effect is weakening. The mer-
chant who continually yells "baroaln"
Is like the old hen who was always
crying fox" When the real article
did come along none Of her chicks
believed Il.
Don't use fine print Make 1t easy
for the reader to find out about your
business. There are ten million pairs
of eyeglasses worn in America, and
every owner of them buys something.
And Don't start unless you mean to
stick. The patron saint of the sue
cessful advertiser hates . gutter.

One hundred years ago Ferdinand
VII restored the Inquisition in Spain.
The inquisition was designed to punish
heresy and spiritual offenses and had
been established for centuries in vari-
Gus countries Of Europe. In Spain the
sentences Of the inquisiterial courts
were carried out with untold cruelties,
the burning of the victims at the stake
being one of the commonest forms Of
punishment. One Of Napoleon's hrst
acts after he had conquered Spain was
to abolish the inQuisition. After it,
restoration by Ferdinand VII II con-
tinued to exist but six years., being
finally abolished by the cortes in 1890.
Historians have reckoned that more
than thirty thousand persons were put
to death and nearly three hundred
thousand otherwise punished during
the 236 years that the inQuisition exist
ed In Spain.

The OmeIette Souffle.

There is q vast distinction between
distribution for the sake of increasing
the circulation figures and distribution
for the sake of increasing the number
Of advertising responses.
There is difference between a cir
culation which strikes the same reader
several times in the same day and the
circulation which does not repeat the
individual. There IL q difference be-
tween circulation which is concen-
trated into an area from which every
reader can be expected to come to
your establishment. II you can Interest
him. and q circulation that spreads
over half a dozen states and shows its
greatest volume In territory 30 far
from your establishment that you can't
get q buyer out of ten thousand read
ers.
You've got to weigh and measure all
these things when you weigh and
measure circulation figures. It isn't
the number of copies printed, but the
number of copies soId-not the num-
Der of papers distributed, but the
number Of papers distributed in 70.
sponsive territory-not the number Of
readers reached, but the number of
readers who have the price to buy
what you want to ssIl-that determine
the value Of circulation to you.
