The Dollar That Can't Be Spent.

Every dollar spent in advertising is
not only a seed dollar which produces
a profit for the merchant, but is actu-
ally retained by him even after he has
paid 1t to the publisher.
Advertising creates good will equal
to the cost of the publicity.
Advertising really costs nothing.
While it uses funds 1t does not use
them up. 1t helps the founder of a
business to grow rich and then keeps
his business alive after his death
1t eliminates the personal equation.
It perpetuates confidence in the store
and makes it possible for merchant
to withdraw from business without
having the profits of the business
withdrawn from him. 1t changes a
name to an Instltution-an institution
which will survive its builder.
1t is really an Insurance policy which
costs nothing pays a premium each
year instead of calling for one and
renders it possible to change the en-
tire personnel of business without
disturbing it's prosperity.
Advertising renders the business
stronger than the man-independent
of his presence. 1t permanentizes sys-
TENS of merchandising, the track OF
which is left for others to follow.
A business which is not advertised
must rely upon the personality Of its
proprietor. and personality in business
is decreasing factor. The public does
not want to know the man who owns
the store-it isn't interested in him,
but in his goods. When an unadver-
tised business is sold 1t is only worth
as much as it's stock Of goods and Its
fixtures. There is no good will to be
paid fort does not exist-it has not
been created. The name over the door
means nothing except to the limited
stream of people from the immediate
neighborhood, any of whom could tell
you more about some store ten miles
away which has regularly delivered its
shop news to their homes.
It is as shortsighted for man to
build a business which dies with his
death or ceases with his inaction, as
it is unfair for him not to provide for
the continuance of its income to his
family.

The Tailor Who Paid Too Much.


/ was buying cigar last week
when man dropped into the shop
and after making a purchase told the
proprietor that he had started a
clothes shop around the corner and
quoted him prices, with the assurance
of best garments and terms.
After he left the cigar man turned
to me and said:
"Enterprising fellow, that. he'll get
along"
"But he won't" I replied, and,
furthermore, I'll wager you that he
hasn't the sort of clothes shop that
will enable him to-"
What made you think that?"
queried the man behind the counter
His theories are wrong" l ex-
planned, hes relying upon word Of
mouth publicity to build up his bust
ness and he can't Interview enough
individuals to compete with mer-
chant, who has sense enough to say
the same things he told you, to a
thousand men, while he is telling it to
one. Besides, his method Of adver-
Using is too expensive. Suppose he
sees a hundred persons every day.
First of all, he is robbing his bust
ness of its necessary direction, and
besides he is spending too much to
reach every man he solicits."
j don't quite follow you"
We'll, as the proprietor of clothes
shop his own time is so valuable that
l am very conservative in my esti-
mate when put the cost of his solicit
ing at five cents head.
Nov, IL he were really able and
clever he would discover that he can
talk to thousands of people at tenth
of a cent per individual. There is not
a newspaper in town the advertising
rate of which is $1.O0 per thousand
circulation, for space big enough in
whichzto display what he said to you"
81 never looked at it that way" said
the cigar man.
It's only "the man who hasn't looked
at 1t that way" who hesitates for an
instant over the advisability and profit
ableness of newspaper publicity.
Newspaper advertising is the cheap
est channel of communication ever
established by man. A thousand let
tiers with one-cent stamps will easily
cost fifteen dollars, and not one en-
velope in ten will be opened because
the very postage is an invitation to the
waste-basket
If there were anything cheaper rest
assured that the greatest merchants
in America would not spend individual
sums ranging up to half a million dol
lars a year ,and over, upon this form
of attracting trade.

employed the same materials for his
work. The one drew your attention
and held it by the grace and clever
ness and art manifested in his display.
The other realized so little of the pos
sibilities in the materials placed at his
disposal that unless some one called
your attention to his mediocrities you
their existence.
An advertiser must know that he
gets his results in accordance with the
skill exercised in preparing his verbal
displays. He must make people stop
and pause. His copy has to stand out.
He must not only make a show OF
things that are attractive to the eye.
but are attractive to the peoples needs
as we'll.
The windoW-trimmer must not make
the mistake of thinking that the show
lest stocks are the most salable. The
advertiser must not make the mistake
of thinking that the showiest words
are the most clinching.
Windows are too few in number to
be used with indiscretion. The good
merchant puts those goods back of his
plate glass which nine people out Of
ten will want, once they have seen
them.
The good advertiser tells about
goods which nine readers out of ten
will buy, If they can be convinced.
Newspaper space itself is only the
window, just as the showcase is but q
frame for merchandise pictures. A
window on a crowded street, in the
best neighborhood, where prosperous
persons pass continually, is more de-
sirable than one in cheap, sparsely
settled neighborhood. An advertise
ment in a newspaper with the most
readers and the most prosperous ones,
possesses a great advantage over the
same copy in a medium circulating
among persons who possess less
means 1t would be foolish for shop
to build its windows in an alleyway
and just as much so to put its adver-
Using into newspapers which are dis
tributed among "alley-dwellers.

The Difference Between Amusing
and Convincing.

An advertiser must realize that
there is vast difference between
amusing people and convincing them.
1t does not pay to be smart" at the
line rate of the average first-class
paper I suppose that / could draw
the attention of everybody on the
street by painting half of my face red
and donning suit of motley. /
might have a sincere purpose in wish
ing t. attract the crowd, but A would
be deluding myself if I mistook the
nature of their attention.
The new advertiser is especially
prone to misjudge between amusing
and convincing copy. A humorous pic
ture may catch the eye of every
reader, but it won't pay as well as
an Illustration of some piece OF mer-
chandse which will strike the eye OF
every buyer. Merchants secure vary
ing results from the same advertising
space. The publisher delivers to each
the same quality of readers, but the
advertiser who plants fIippancy in the
minds OF the community won't attain
the benefit that is secured by the
merchant who imprints cIinching argu-
ments there.
Always remember that the advertis-
ing sections Of newspapers are no diff
ferent than farming lands. And it is
as preposterous to hold the publisher
responsible for the outcome Of unin-
telligent COPY as it would be unjust to
blame the soil for bad seed and poor
culture. Every advertiser gets exactly
the same number of readers from
publisher and the same readers after
that it's up to him-the results fiuctu-
ate in accordance with the intelligence
and the pulling power of the copy
which is inserted.

Inultafion and Answer.

Varied Life" tells how the late Sir
George Honeyman, an infamous
writer, sent down from the bench to
a friend of his, a leading Q. c., a
little note. Not able to make head
nor tail of it, the barrister scribbled
something equally undecipherable
upon a half-sheet of notepaper and
passed it up to the judge. Sir George
looked annoyed, and when the court
rose, said to his friend: What do
you mean by this? l asked you to
come and dine with me tonight. /"
YES" said the barrister, "and l re-
piled that l should be extremely glad
to do So"
