The a g c and K Y z Of
ADVERT Using
ADVERTISING Nj
lVO K
Don't LEI newspaper circulation fool you The
newspaper which has the least power to sell goods
usually makes the loudest shout about circulation
Don't skip around from newspaper to another.
Success in advertising comes from hammerng away
at the crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of
readers you want for customers and then stick When
you get things going keep your head lineup of
canvassers from competitive newspapers will call on
you Immediately and show you by process of arith-
mec it may be of geography that they give you
twice the circulation at half the price that whoever
advised you didn't know what he talking about;
that if the paper your advertisement is in actually
pays you their newspapers will certainly make you
millionaire.
They are all nice fellows and put up good lunches
and you like to meet them Each will tell you that
your advertisement is the preest thing he ever saw
and that your store is perfect GEM But don't. You
can't afford at least not unless you have sufficient
advertising appropriation to keep copy in all the
newspapers continuously
An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper
will bring m,ch bigger results than two-inch adver
tisement in four newspapers.
If you advertise your store to a hundred and
fifty thousand people you safely bank the fact
that in due time everybody will hear about you
People have way of passing along good news.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tnuously in reputable newspaper stimulates public
confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the
estimation of tens of thousands of people who may be
months getting around to make their first purchase
You talk to hundred and fifty thousand
people any day of the week through metropolitan
newspaper and make your talk as personal as you
wish. You need not employ an interpreter or use
megaphone Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere
about it. Let your words ring true. The people viii
listen. They like it.
Spend thousands year ON rent and electric light
and experienced statesmen and then squeeze out
niggardly hundred or two advertisng-on telling
the people that you have the and the goods and
the statesmen, all hanging around waiting. A retail
shop that spends $1,000 year rent ought at the
very lowest estimate spend $4,000 year on adver
Using
Your advertising is not thing apart from your
enterprise 1t is your enterprise; a contagion which
you yoarseH create and which, if thoroughly spread
Is as enduring as the everlasting hills.

dertook was School improvement
conference. A large number of teach

Improvement associations have done
great things for Anderson county.
They have raised about $4,000, which

disappointed that we received only
{ two prizes, but considering the large
number OF schools of the State which

well to bring two prizes to Anderson
county.

WAR BOOKS.

Comparatively little has been pub
lished in English regarding the Rus
sian side OF the war, so that Bernard
Malls translation OF Gregor Alexin-
sky's Russia and the Great War"
Charles Scribner's Sons) has n GER
tain value. The author is addressing
the British public and trying to eX-
plain a good many things about Russia
which he thinks interest and puzzle
outsiders. He writes from the point OF
view OF a Russian liberal. which seems
to be a rather elastic term. and finds
plenty to condemn In the conduct and
the views of the Russian authorities
on the one hand and OF the Socialists
on the other, while upholdtng the ac-
ton OF Russia against Germany. He
explains how the var broke out. de-
scribes the war itself, with many incl
dents hat seem significant to him, and
forecasts the outcome. The reader
may be somewhat confused by the
mingllng of the authors theories and
facts. but he will get an idea of what
some Russians think about the war.
More little volumes Of the useful
Pages d'Histoire" series, published
by Berger-Levrault. Paris, are at hand.
These present In very convenient form
a record of the French side of the war.
