RIGHT ADVERTISING PAYS.
Newspaper Advertising Intellingently
Followed Pays.-"Outlaw' and
and Fake" a Loss.

Can the service rendered by adj
vertising be accurately determined I!
Was there ever an advertisement
printed, no matter how poorly it was
written, that did not produce re-
suits? Some one has estimated that
GO per cent of all the money spent
in advei Using is wasted. Is this
true: DO you think that majority
of the business men of this country
are such fools that they continue
year after year to pour money down
a rat holei
Personally we believe that much
loose talk is INDUCED in by those
who have not given serious study to
the subject of advertising. 1t is easy
to arrive at wrong conclusion upon
insufficient evidence, or isolated cas-
es. Most of the money wasted in ad-
vertising is not wasted in the news

newspaper advertising is more often
due to poor copy and to the mad

article than to any other cause.
How are we to determine whether
or not money spent on advertising
is absolutely lost? Or how are we
TO measure the work that it actually
accomplishes? If merchant adver-

ERECT ELEGANT NEW BANK.
Durant National TO Spend $50, 900
onNew Building At Second
and Main Streets.

Information was given out this
week that as soon as possession of
the property is secured, the Durant
National Bank will plan the erection
at Second and Main streets on the
present site of the old White Bank
building, of the finest and most mod
ern banking office buildings in
southern Oklahoma, and which will
probably cost to erect in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. This property
was purchased by the Durant Nation
al Bank several months ago, and
they will take possession September
1st this year, and they will erect the
new building just as soon as ar
rangements can be perfected.
This is probably the best corner in
the city, and the lot is 35 feet in
width, fronting Main street, and 135
feet deep siding on Second avenue.
This will allow frontage of eight
feet more than the banks present To-
cation has, and will give ample room
for fixtures and offices, whereas the

The bank will not dispose of it's

banking offices.

The new power plant of the Du-

several months ago, is fast nearing
completion, and lacks only the in
stallation of the machinery which

Grating order.
The machinery, which costs in the
neighborhood of $4,000, is of the
most modern type for the production
of electric current, and will, accord
ing to Manager w. ]. o'Brien, in
crease the efficiency of the COM
pany's mechanical department with
probably a decrease in production
costs.
The plant will be temporarily To-
Gated near the site of the old plant.

can be erected. The old plant will

be 30x5O feet in size, and will be of
the most modern type of architec-
ture. 1t will be of concrete and
brick with white ornamental build
ing brick eight feet from the ground.

LIVESTOCK ON THE DECREASE.
vent Feed Crops with Use of
Silos.


Year after year national statistics
show a decrease in the number of
cattle and hogs. The population in
creaseJ and, of course. the prices in
crease. If this ratio continues Sc
rious condition must result.
Oklahoma is designed by nature as
livestock producing country. To
increase our livestock is the most
important industrial problem con-
fronting us. Concerted effort in
this direction is necessary. No farm
er is following the best policy IL he
is not striving to increase his live
stock output.
Drouth, hot winds or pestilence do
not prevent Oklahoma from produc-
ing feed crop, If we insure the
crop with silos. The states to the
north of us cannot depend upon
their feed supply.
Right now Oklahoma is shipping
grain and other feedstuffs into Kan
sas and other northern states where
there was a near-famine last fall.
Oklahoma has more feed than we
have home market for. This will
always be the case until we bring
tho cattle to Oklahoma to be fed in
stead of sending the feed out to be
fed in other states. In years when
thorc is an exceptionally big crop
throughout the southwest we will
have a poLr market-unless we
make g home market.
There is but one way to create
this 'ho;ae market--that, is for, our
farmers TO tase their farming opera
;ions on livestock. They must aim
TO feed their products to stock on
tho farm instead of aiming to sell off
the crops. e.
Farming to sell the crop for ship
ment IS more like mining than farm
iag--unlcss a large part of the prof
& is spent for fertilizer to keep up

Ises special sale and none of the
goods are sold, it is reasonable to
conclude that the money spent in adj
vcrtising it did not pay.
On the other hand, if a manufac-
tIrar ad,ertises style of articles of
merit, he cannot accurately deter
mine the results in dollars and cents.
Many people who read the advertise
men may not be ready to purchase
the article at once. They may be
Impressed with it's qualities and it's
desirability and even decide to buy
IL ut some future time but not at
the moment. Six months or year
may e,apse before they need the ar
ticlc and actually make the purchase.
In general advertising it is the ac-
cumulated incluence that counts.
Ono OF the best tests of the value
Of advertising which has been carried
on for o reasonable length of time is
to stop all publicity. The late Geo
p. Rowell, who owned and advertis-
ed Ripan's Tabules, once told the
writer that after he had ceased to ad-
yer,isc, the sales of the remedy con-
tiuucd large for number of years.
A considerable percentage of this
business, he said. came from persons
who had read the advertisements
when they had appeared, but who
had had no occasion to purchase un-
ill later.
The plainest and simples kind of
an advertisement is not without its
Influence. Take the card of a mer-
chant tailor that simply gives his
name, address and business. Many
p,en who see the card might not be

but some will sap that there is
not sufficient stock in Oklahoma
True. therefore. we must become

wost ,f us. Oklahoma must go into

the business of growing cattle and
hogs.

way the merchant could tell whether

ferers. l believe my miraculous cure
has been the means OF many others

From letter Of September s, 1911.

do not feel that have words to ex-
press the faith l have In its merits.
feel that Peruna has been the
means. through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for

We quote still later letter. October

for Peruna. Have been taking It two
weeks. am now better. l consider
that Peruna has carried me over q
dozen years of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question in ref

We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends:
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year. and
that your medicine may 7 owe a

It is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-

are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the

that Peruna saved his life?
