Short Talks on Advertising
No. T.
No. T..
BY R. S. NEWMAN.

NO permanent business was ever established on
humbug foundation. Most advertisers are honest or
at least they mean to be. Often each one of half
dozen dealers will insist that he has the biggest and
best stock in the city OF course they can't all be
right, but that is merely form of words Really il
does not mean much of anything either to the writer
or to the reader, and SO does ham-except that ii
wastes valuable space in the newspaper
The advertisement that pays best is plain honest
torcetu talk written just if the writer was talking
to the reader face to face-a statement of facts
There is nothing so interesting in the world as
facts, especially facts of business They should be
written out enertainngly People like to know how
Things are made, not technical description but hint
here and there, for instance, TheSe goods were de-
signed and woven in France the cotton came from
Alabama, and the silk from China, twice across the
Atlantic, once across Asia and Europe and here is the
finished fabric for 75c per yard"
Furniture dealers have been showing and advertis
ing CrcaSSian walnut but how many people know
the scarcity or nature of the tree and that it grows
only in the country of CircaSSa which borders on the
BLACK sea- These facts make advertising interesting
knowledge, thought and time are absolutely essen
hal to make advertising profitable knowledge of
the goods adVerlSed-thOught as to proper deScrip-
tons and time in composition.
If descriptions can best be made with illustrations
they should be used it not only attracts the attention
OF the reader to the space your advertisement Occu
pies but causes the reader to nger longer or read the
advertisement more thoroughly
Wide-awake people are ones most influenced by
advertising progressive people who not afraid of
a new thing or a new idea.

EMIT! STAR CHAMBER.

We are gratified TO witness the con-
fession of the common council IL re-
moving the plug from the "hole,"
that after a year Of observation 1t has
discovered it's error in regarding the
newspaper men about the city build
ing with such suspicion. and in in
sisting upon holding its committee
meetings in secret How much of
Councilman Hagerty's effort through
meetings. finally bore fruit in the
action of the committee Monday
night. we cannot presume TO say. 1t
is enough that the agitation for open
meetings was never allowed to die
down. and that finally the council.
confessing its error, has thrown down
the bars.
The resolution introduced by retir-
ing Pres't Lang of the council. after
he had been the main spring in main
tanning the secrecy program amounts
almost To an apology 10 the reporters.
Evidently the young men who report
the council meetings have conducted
themselves with consideration. and
this regardless of their being placed
at a disadvantage by fear of council
men that they might become rude. for
which. surely enough, there has been
a plenty of opportunity. Ii is un-
necessary, however, for anyone to
apologize. The proceeding has not
been so very unusual in the light Of
the past. 1t requires a pretty pIo-
greSsive sort of public servant TO feel
free TO subject his full conduct 10 the
public scrutiny We are glad 20 see
the members of the council come TO

No one will deny that the accom-

Possibly there may be some con-

the suffragists of any selfish motive
in educating our boys in faminine pur-

foresight can readily understand that

THE Newcomers Day" has SUI

THERE is this about the old earth

veneer IL has accumulated from
