GIVE ADVERTISING CREDIT
Too Many Advertisers Overlook Cum
ulative Effect, Its Great
est Value.

j. j. Rockwell, of the McGraw Pub
fishing Co OF New York. in an ad-
dress before the Advertisers Club in
New Orleans declared that advertis-
Ing does not get credit for all the
work II does.
"One of the greatest difficulties con.
fronting an advertising man is that
advertisers fail to give advertising
credit for what II really performs
The advertiser usually checks up on
his advertising like any other invest.
ment in that its greatest results are
It's cumulative value. However. the
results fromthat advertisement should
not be figured from one sale only,
but from all other sales which are
made to the same people.
"All that advertising can do Is to
bring new customers, or rather
should say 1t brings people to a store
or establishment, as the case may be.
II is up to the salesman to do the
rest.
"All business resulting from an ad-
yertisement, whether received at
once. or later as the direct results OF
the advertisement, should be credited
properly. Advertising men find that
the greatest and chief value OF adver.
Using Is the cumulative effect. II
forms the starting point OF sales by
reason OF mouth-to-mouth advertising
which pleased customers do and the
advertising thus succeeds in develop
ing the business"

HONEST ADVERTISING
WINS IN LONG RUN
BY WIN. c. FREEMAN.

Rev. DR.. Relsner OF Grace Methc
dist Episcopal church. New York. re
Gently sent letter TO a number q
business men asking them some ques
tons. based on the alleged statement
OF Rev. Il. J. Campbell OF London. thai
n business man cannot be ABSOLUTELY
honest and succeed
A great many honorable men, SO
DIR. Reisner says. claim that an abso
lutely upright Standard OF honesty 10
Impossible for the man who is deter
mined 10 succeed in business.
The following are the questions
that he asked of the merchants:
l. Is 1t possible to succeed in bust
ness and be absolutely honest?
2. Why do dishonest men fail to
reach fullest success?
3. Why do so many statesmen no
sort to sharp practices TO make sales
4. Is It ever excusable TO misrep
resent or exaggerate goods either ir
quality or popularity OF demand?
Here are four very good answers "a
those questions sent to DIR. Reisner
by Mr. Murphy, president Of the MARI
Cross company:
l. Yes-and If done any other way
the man does not get the full measur,
OF success.
z Because the most difficult thin,
In the world Is TO lie dishonesty fol
any length of time.
3. Sharp practice is their TRACED,
that is why there are so many bat
statesmen.
4. There is no excuse for such /,
oiunder Retribution follows hard OF
the heels of Misrepresentation. Nd
vertising may be fraudulent or Il ma,
be profitable, but it cannot be both
There is no fool so great as the foo
who thinks he is fooling everybody
First he labOrs hard to gain "a dis
honest reputation. and afterwald h,
labors to undo IL. Like Frankengtein
who released the genii from the boitl,
only TO find he could not control him
Another paper was read at the Sun
day night service, December 3, which
made tie point that the man wht
practices dishonesty in his bushes,
has TO be great deal smarter maj
than the man who practices honest.
that he has greater difficulty in at
tanning partial success than the maj
who Is inherently honest has In al
tanning n great success
Is II not true that the businesse,
that prosper most in our comrunitie
are those whose owners are men o
character who stand for something ii
the world?
There is no doubt that honesty Il
business pays best in the long run
and the honest adertiser has a bette
chance to succeed than the dishop es
advertiser.

Too much of our good, hard-earned
money expended for feed for our farm
animals goes to waste on account OF
lack OF plenty OF good bedding. Feed
Is an essential thing in fattening our

other essential. Some OF us are good

animals plenty of the different foods
we use In the fattening process, but
fall down in the bedding end OF tie

To make an animal do well we must
make IL comfortable. This we can't
do without plenty Of the right kind OF
bedding, no matter how generously
we pour out the corn, oats, etc. We

caring for the spring crop Of pigs and

There is Always a Ready Response
to Advertising that frankly makes a

must be no question about the truth

WOMEN OUGHT TO VOTE
o practice the

Women ought to vote because taxa.

pays the taxes wears trousers or pet

merely by reason OF sex, one-half OF
the people OF the country should rule
the other half.
1t is folly to say that women are
represented by the votes OF the men

father or brother vote for him.
