OF course this forehandedness may

hand wagon would be out of place in
February. April would doubtless be
the better time 1t is better to be
TOO early than too late, however and
a wagon ad would count for more in
March than in juno. In December,
just before the first snow if possible,
is the opportune time for adVertis-
ing sleighs. Even November or DC,
tober would be more seasonabe for
a sleigh ad than February, AS March
approaches, everyone is planning Tor
spring rather than winter.
There is chance for no end of skill
In varying the time of advertising with
the Importance of the thing to be sold.
Small purchases are made with less
deliberation and the publicity may be
concentrated into a shorter period and
nearer the time of probable purchase.
A farmer may have moving machine
and a mandrake or two to buy for
having. Tie mower will cost $40 or
$50. 1t is something that will last
for ten years. He will be talking

in machine ads should therefore com
mence at least two months in advance
of the haying season while rakes and
similar small tools can be advertised
during the three weeks Just preceding
the time of purchase. This will IL
lustrate the variation as to time to
conform to varying conditions.
When dealer is ready to give the
same attention to his advertising that
he does to other matters he will find
that he will want to keep at it the
year round In newspaper work, the
yearly contract gets the lowest rate
and there is something calling for
special announcement every week The
goods are TO be wanted and so place
the advertising that it will make its
appeal to the buyer when his mind is
open to receive suggestions about
purchase 20 is about to make. The
dealer who looks ahead and maps out
his advertising is sure to find judi
cious outlay for publicity the best in
vestment he can possibly arrange for.
This advertising talk will be
continued in our next issue and the
relative usefulness of so-called Dis
play" ads and classified ads will be
taken up.
