THE FARMERS
 ADVERTISING SCHOOL LESSON

A fundamehta1 principle Of adver- Using is to give information. about goods.
 When the consumer buys today he asserts his personal individuality and does the choosing. He expresses his likes or dislflkes. He seeks for in formation about different styles of goods. whether or not his choice may be wisely made, he wants to know the reasons, and form his own soap, coffee was coffee. Now the buyer wants to know more facts about the different makes of soap and coffee, and which will come the nearest to shiting him.
 Hence an advertisement is not thoroughly effective unless it gives some information calculated both to interest the reader in the goods, to help him form a mental picture of them, and to formulate a Judgment whether it is something that would meet his needs and please his taste.
 Here is the way furniture dealer gives a good idea of in small space Of an article in his stock:--
 A Chair Chance.
 Beautifully mahoganized Birth.
 Fine Polish finish.
 Either Spring Seats of Loose Cush- ion Upho1sterings.
 Built to Fit the Curve in the Back.
 Graceful Lines a Pleasure to Look at.
 A good $s Chair only $4.98. 4 An advertisement like that will sell five chairs where a simple announce 1nent like ''The best chair on the market for the money would barely sell one.
 Merchants do not always realize how interested people are in details of manufacture. They like te find out about processes of making goods, about the materials used in their manufacture, about the circumstances and conditions under which goods were purchased. The we'll written ad- vertisement gives some information Of this character. It will set the public to thinking and fix attention on a merchants offerings.
 When goods are bought from the wholesaler, the slzi1lfu1 advertiser al- ways tries to get some talking points of this kind Any intelligent salesman can mention many features around which a telling Information advertisement could be written.
 A writer relates how a certain Shoe firm profited by emphasizing the fact that leather cut from near the back bone of the animal has a closer tex ture and wears better. Points like these fix buyers attention on an advertisers goods. and predispose him to favor the line thus advertised.
