Governor Philip has probably
found that the life of an executive of
big state is not bed of roses so to
speak, as all men find who are not
afraid to do the things they set out
to do. Certain authorities claim that
the governor has killed himself pollt-
ically and is now acting out mere spite
and jealousy, but we have bunch that
the governor has made a pretty good
impression on the people of the state
at large. The governor says that tax
es are all right and necessary and
that he is for everything that can be
proven to be sensible and profitable
for the people as whole. He simply
believes that things have got to stop
at some place and when taxes get to
a point beyond all reason it is time
to investigate and see if halt cannot
somewhere be made.

SLIPSHOD ADVERTISING.

A group of newspaper men go to
talking the other day, about their ex-
periences in dealing with merchants
in the matter of advertising. The
story was told of one merchant who
used to say that it never paid for an
individual merchant to advertise. He
admitted that it might pay for the en-
tire body of merchants in town to
get together and advertise so as to
attract the attention of the surround
ing country. But he never believed he
could draw the trade from less enter
prising men of his own individual ad-
vertising
A little inquiry about this mans
business gave some significant facts.
In spite of his prOtestations, he did a
very considerable amount of advertis-
ing. He made it habit to keep a file
of the home newspapers. Every week
when he was taking space he would
clip out his advertisement of the prev
iOus to that, make some slight chang
es, and send the slightly revised old
copy as his notice for the current
week. He paid good money for it, too.
He appreciated the value of timeliness
enough so that for November, 1915, he
would want an adj written for some
previous November. But that was all.
This merchant would go along from
year to year, aften not buying any
new stock in many of his lines. He
argued that the old stuff was just as
good as when he bought it. Why
should not the public be satisfied with
it?? He had a fairly good trade, in
spite of his slow methods. The space
he took in the newspapers was care
fully read and had some effect. Prob
ably a great many people were not
conscious of the fact that it was old
copy.
These notices missed the fundamen-
tai principle of advertising, that adj
vertising is news, and should appeal
to the public hunger for news by tell
ing what special values have turned
up in the store. 1t is not surprising
that he was not wholly satisfied with
his results. Yet even at that, and
with all his unprogressive ways, it is
interesting that he did not dare to
let his advertising drop, and had a
blind faith that any old kind of notice
would help him.-Janesville Gazette
