Optimism Us. Pessir2isn1

Apropos Of the anti-knocker cru
sade,, the following thesis on knoeker-
ism and optimism are given:
Il would rather be an o2timist,
seeking the star that pierces the
night OF gloom, or looking for the
silver lining to the sable cloud, than
be a pessimist, searching for fuel to
heap upon the smoldering fires of
despair.
Il would rather snatch the sun
beam and weave it into song and
laughter, than to take the shadow
and transform it into the muttesings
OF discomfort.
q would rather take the prattle Of
innocent childhood and make t the
guiding star OF my pilgrimage, than
take the wall of the disconsolate and
make it the siren voice toward which

that spans the brow of evening in

MORNING ADVERTISER
GETS THE LAST WORD
By HELEN w. HAsTIA.

The advantages OF last minute ad-
vertising are so plainly obvious that
IL seems almost superfluous to enumer-
ate them
II Is inconceivable that an advertise
ment read at night. when both mind
and body are tired and jaded after the
appeal as that same advertisement read
with the clearer insight of morning. 1t
Is only natural that the mind should be
clearer. the business instinct more alert
at the beginning of the day than at its
close. And that. Mr.. Business Man. Is
the whole matter in a nutshell. Place
your ad in a paper that reaches the
public before that same public is too
tired, mentally and physically, to care
whether you can produce the goods or
not. Make your appeal at the time when
theaters, concerts. dances and movies
do not take precedence over all else. A
very slight thing is sufficient to dis
tract the attention OF a possible pur-
chaser
Because of that the merchant who
safeguards his interests and wins favor
able results from his advertising. is the
one who learns the. shortest interval
between the reading of his advertise
rnent and the time Of purchase. He
whose ad is freshest in the mind of the
prospective purchased Is. in nine cases
out of ten. the man who wins. Don't
let the other fellow have the last word,

LAST-MINUTE APPEAL
TO THE BUYING PUBLIC
BY BELLE L. NELSON.

1t has been a source of considerable
comment. and much wonder to me. why
the "up-to-date" merchant has not
used the advertising columns of the
morning papers more extensively. With
the advent of the movies" and the
moderate price theater the advantage
Of the morning paper over its evening
competitor is so overwhelming and so
obvious. even to the most casual OBJ
server. that it is apparent lack OF fore.
sight on the part of the ''wide-awake"
CD business man to neglect to gather
the harvest of golden dollars from the
vast field spread before him by the
morning paper.
The morning paper with the last
minute" shopping news is the last
minute appeal to the buying public; it
is the last word the merchant has to
say: his last bid for his portion OF the
days business. His announcement
reaches the home when ones mind is
fresh and clear and in the most re-
ceptive mood. and at a time when one
is better able to thoroughly digest the
bargains offered for the day. In fact
IT is a message that reaches the home
when the ''man-of-the-house," with the
worries of the day before, behind him.
is inclined to be free with his purse.
1t reaches us when our energy is at
its greatest and when the spirit to DO
1t NOW" reigns supreme.

MORNING ADS BENEFIT
SHOPPER AND ERCHANT
By Mrs. ARTHUR LENox.

The advantages to the shopper from this
form of advertising are, in my opinion.
numerous, decided and immediate, for
the following reasons:
l. The shopper has time to read the
ad carefully.
2. The ad strikes him at the most op-
perfume time-when he Is mentally alert
and physically fresh.
3. He gets a first impression that Is
clear and lasting.
4. There Is no confusion of ideas due
20 the ads Of rival concerns about same
article
5. Being a first idea without modifica-
ton from any source, II has a COM
pelling force that leads to buying.
s. II eliminates worry. because the
shopper has now a clear idea Of what
he wants and enjoys that satisfied feel
ing of having definitely settled that par
ticular piece of business
Z. 1t is the most effective form Of ad-
vertising because It puts a single idea
in the mind of the shopper. gets him in
the humor for buying and clears the way
OF difficulties.
Finally-The shopper feels he is getting
a bargain. because. being last minute
ad, II is more than likely the merchant
wants to move a particular stock or
line of goods. and Is willing to make a
sacrifice to do so. II is the one form OF
advertising that works Immediately to
the mutual advantage of merchant and
shopper.

MORNING Cad" MAKES
EARLY START POSSIBLE
By THOMAS A. BURNS.

From personal observations I long ago
decided that advertising In a morning
newspaper had many advantages over
avening newspaper advertising. The
average man or woman has a way OF
glancing hurriedly over the advertise
ments in an evening paper, and here
and there making mental notes Of prices.
and articles that strike the fancy. but
In these progressive times the desire to
20 somewhere at night is strong in the
hearts Of almost every one. and in the
rush to dress and get downtown. or up
town. as the case may be. the evening
advertisements are soon forgotten
And this is where the morning news
paper gets in its real work When morn
ing arrives. the morning paper. with
its full columns OF advertising matter.
comes as a silent but sure reminder of
the articles needed In the home and for
gotten the night before. And then
again. the average person likes to go
shopping Immediately after reading a
bargain advertisement. and early morn
ing advertising not only makes II pos
sible for prospective purchasers to get
an early start. and with plenty Of time
to spare in which to do their shopping;
bot. best OF all, they start out with their
minds refreshed after a good nights
rest. and with nothing to distract them.
They have a pretty fair idea of just
what they want. the price of the same.
and the places they will patronize.
