The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-06-05

1t is always interesting to know what
the really wide awake merchant thinks
about newspaper advertising. Seldom,
however do we find business man
who is able and willing to present the
views of the merchant advertiser in
such a virile, thorough way as did S.
B. Nelson, Of Luverne, MINI, in his
address before the Second District
Minnesota Editorial association at Win
nebago recently.
Mr.. Nelson is a member of firm
which believes so implicitly in the eff
ficacy Of country newspaper publicity
that full page advertisement is car
RED in the local paper, the Rock
County Herald, of Luverne, every
week throughout the year. Mr.. Mel
son spoke in part as follows:
Advertising is a short cut to the
wide spread distribution or sale OF a
product. Advertising men put girdles
of products-never heard Of previously
across continents in a few weeks.
In few months they set nation to
eating, or wearing, or using something
that a short time before it did not
know existed. Not all advertising
men, or firms that employ them,
achieve these results, however. Many
concerns, in attempts to attain them,
have uselessly squandered fortunes.
Why is this? There are many rea-
sons. This article points out one rea-
son. If you were starting an advertis-
ing campaign tomorrow would you

could, and set him to writing copy in

For Root MaggOt

The government is still carrying on

First, three pints Of lime Stacked to
cream in a gallon Of water with table
spoonful OF crude carbolic acid added
and apply around the plant.
Second, tar paper discs around the
plant.
Third, Napthaline fakes, or moth
