FACE FULL OF PIMPLES

4aA0 so. California Ave, Chicago, III.
About a year ago my face was full
OF pimples and red spots. To sleep
one night without itching was almost
impossible. Some of the pimples
would get big and red and II touched
them they would pain. while others
would get white heads ON them and
when they broke open some matter
came out. They would burn and itch
and scratched them 30 that some
times they would break and bleed.
That always caused them 10 be worse.

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
slDlllties in the materials placed at his
disposal that unless soIr- one called
your attention to his mediocrities you
would have gone on unconscious OF
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 stor
and pause. His copy has to stand out,
lie 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 &c
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 ter
will buy, II they can be convinced.
Newspaper space itself is only the
window, just as the showcase is but Q
frame for merchandise pictures. A

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 il to the publisher.
Advertising creates good will equal
10 the cost of the publicity.
Advertising really costs nothing.
While It uses funds II does not use
them up. II helps the founder OF
business 10 grow rich and then keeps
his business alive after his death.
II eliminates the personal equation.
Il perpetuates confidence In the store
and makes II possible for a merchant
TO withdraw from business without
having the profits OF the business
withdrawn from him. II changes a
name to an instltutlon-an institution
which will survive fits builder
II is really an insurance policy which
costs nothing-pays premium each
