PLAIN COPY MAKES ADS PAY
Don't Shoot Over Heads of People
You Want to Reach-What an
Illinois Merchant Did.
Rx HINTON GILMORE.

Much is said regarding the psy
chology Of advertising, but there are
plenty Of fellows who never took a
lesson in their lives who get returns
for their advertising outlay.
In an Illinois town Of $1,000 there
is a dealer in mems furnishings who
believes In advertising through the
newspapers, but 1t took him a long
time to make 1t pay. For years his
copy didn't possess the selling
punch" 1t was being written by a
specialist and had won commendation
from people supposed to know good
advertising copy when they saw It.
But It was costing money and wasn't
getting the business, so the dealer
let the specialist out and began writ
ing his own copy.
He made a close analysis Of previous
advertisements and noticed such gems
as "plu-perfect tailoring" and "acme
of sartorial achievement" anc II
dawned upon him that the copy was
over the heads of the crowd.
When he sat down to write his first
ad he recalled a boyhood acquaint,
ance-"Buck" Ransome, the village
bus driver back in the old home ham
let. Now Buck" happens to be a
man of low powered intelligence, with
a mere smattering Of educational ele-
ments, but the dealer seized upon him
as a sort Of composite customer and
addressed that advertisement to
Buck" 1t was written so that
Buck" could understand; anything
that seemed beyond Bucks" grasp
was left out. The result was that
the copy was plain as day.
The merchant Kept up this simpli'
fed ad writing, sending typical Buck
copy to the printer every day. Busi-
ness began to pick up and it's still
picking up.
Twice a year Buck" Ransome re-
ceives a suit Of clothes for his unwit-
ting service as an advertisement mod
ell The fact that he doesn't know
where the clothes are coming from
keeps Buck" worried.

To Insure Success.

Advertisers should not indulge IN
random, unsubstantial claims. Every
ad should put forth real reason for
the purchase. Price an article 30 as
to bring fair margin Of profit. then
stick to the price rather than stick the
customer. Advertising Is a part OF
the sales force and by truthful adver'
tising and carrying out policy of do,
ing exactly what you promise to do
having one price, marking all goods
with plain figure prices, one brand
Of treatment for all customers and
selling a line Of reliable goods that
best meets the requirements as to
style and price Of majority of custo'
mers-you then cannot help but be
successful.

CHILDREN'S QVARRELS.

SHARING PROSPERITY PIE
Larger Volume of Traffic Causes Rise
In Railroad EDrniups.

The revival of railroad earnings during
the last two months again demonstrates
that the carriers of the country do not
lead in bringing about prosperity but re-
fiect the general condition Of commerce.
Railroad earnings depend on the volume
OF traffic. and for this reason their earn
ings lag somewhat behind those of tho
manufacturing and extractive industries.
When tho country was first delugeI
with orders occasoned by the European
war the railroads did not experience tho
general prosperity of other lines There
was then surplus of cars and AN
abundance Of terminal facilities. Cond,-
tons however have now changed I'm re-
gard to the carriers The great volume
OF manufactured goods ordered hv the
European belligerents Is moving forward
to destination. The railroads arc begin
ming to get their share of the business
prosperity brought to the country There
was nothing unusual in tho situation Of
the roads several months ago. They
were waiting for tho completion n-
manufacturing processes before thov
could obtain their share of the prosperity
pie.
The situation is different now; there ia
a glut of freight on the eastern seaboarI.
particularly at New York where tho
port terminal facilities are overcrowded
| Two of the best equipped railroads ~
the country. the Pennsylvania and the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western, al,
! complaining that they are unable 10
load cars at New Yorl. because Of q
| scarcity of cargo room and terminal
facilities.
In normal times, when traffic moves
forward with reasonable regularity and
the presence of freight at any port il
sufficient to attract bottoms 20 carry If,
meagre terminal facilities have sufficed.
The rapid handling of freight serves 10
prevent congestion. but the terminals
are inadequate Lecause Of their inela tic
ity. There is no provision for handling
an abnormal amount of freight. and
that is the reason why the railroads ar
complaining of shortage of cars. and
the Middle West unavailingly demands
them, and protests when they are not
forthcoming.
It is worse than useless for the rail-
roads to continue to improve their ia
cilties for transporting freight to the
Atlantic seaboard if il is to be longest
ed there. The federal government and
the city of New York must do their
part toward improving port conditions
and upbuilding merchant marine Deg
pite the congested conditions of traffic,
the government forbids railroads To- own
ship lines. which could handle the freight
when it arrives at ports. The great rail
roads Of Canada are encouraged to en-
ter into just this business. and it is only
a short-sighted policy on the part of the
United States which makes it impossible
for our railroads to do the same thing.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Bishop Bliss Writes Concerning Far
Reaching Belgian Interests and
Problems
or of the Free Press:

To the Editor of the Free Press
Vermont has generously responded to
the appeal for Belgium relief. Several
thousand dollars during the year have
been collected within the State and eX-
pended in the purchase of food and cloth
ing for the destitute in that stricken
country. Three million men, women and
children are still dependent, through no
fault of their own. upon the Christian
compa ssion of people of other lands. Two
hundred thousand workmen have had no
work for more than 10 months. The rich
OF the land who might have helped their
poorer neighbors have been forced TO con-
tribute millions TO maintain the war that
has been waged against them. Germany
claims the right thus to tax the people.
but disclaims any obligation to feed or
clothe them.
For this reason the appeal for help re-
Gently renewed has been commended by
Governor Gates and this evening at the
First Church, the people of Burlington
by their presence will again be able to
show their sympathy and their charity
for the needy of this once prosperous and
still noble nation.
In presenting these appeals for material
that Belgium's real need can in this way
be met. Her great need is not charity.
Her cry is for justice. This cry America
has heard but she has not needed. She
has poured out her wealth but she has not
protested against the injustice done
While the great crime was being perpc-
trated and is still dragging ont its cruel
length. we have sheltered ourselves be-
hind our neutrality. America must not
forget that this small. outraged nation -
