he sent back for his blankets.

early planted an army post called

AN ADVERTISING cLiNcHER.

IN TALKING recently with a man who has made a big success IS an
advertising salesman,t the question as asked him. What has been the
most effective argument you have used to induce merchants to advertise %
laton In the territory they serve has come il to their store within the
past three months"
Very few of them, in reply to this question, claim that large
proportion of the population has come into the store. A few may say
tMy haVe had 10 per cent Of the people. Many would admit that O over
1 per cent o. the people had been in their store during that period. In
many cases the proportion would be away below 1 per cent"
Then / say, how IN all the rest of the people going to have n
idea about the merits of the stock you carry? They may go by your place
Of business twice a day. But they know nothing about what you are do
ing. You will never get their trade unless you seek after their business
and tell them what you have got"
ITO do that" the salesman continued, 81 tell them there are inst tbree
thlngs that CA be done. They can send a salesman around from door to
doc to tell them about the goods. They a distribute handbTls r cfuu.
lar letters. Or they a advertise in the newspapers.
Newspaper advertising would not cost a twentieth of he cost of Tel
ona solicitation 1t is mor effective, because it gets attention where a
solicitor would be turned away. And a newspaper advertisement is read
where a handful goes to the waste basket If you don't care to adopt n
OF these methods, 1 tell them, the great mass of the people will continue
to pass you by without knowing about your goods O YER giving n
business"

THE best way to form a N impression o. a neighbonng city is to look
It Its newspapers. If these journals are poorly printed and sloppily writ
ten, and IL there is little advertising, the community is almost invariably
run down. If the newspapers have a clean typographical appearance, and
show the expenditure of money for good reporting and writing, il the
advertising columns well filled, that community is going right ahead.
People who may consider this town as a place of residence send tor
copies o Its newspapers, first to Be- what is going IN here, second. to
learn how much public spirit the town has. Our residents re continual.
~ sending away the home paper, and in 80 far IS it is a good appearing
journal 1t makes friends TO the town and spreads its good reputation.
Newspaper publishers are generous with any growth OF business they
may gain. Nnetenths of such growth is almost always put. back into the
paper, In charging plant and increasing the force of workers. The moral
is, that II you want a good impression of your town spread abroad, HELM
the home paper to enlarge and improve its facilities.
