WHY ADVERTISE AT ALL

1t is well first of all to know what advertising really
is. Advertising has been defined the act of public
ly announcing fact and has further been defined
salesmanship paper. While both of these are
more or less true advertising is nothing but the CIV
ing of business with the purpose of creating
new want or supplying existing want. 1t is read
lily that there is limit to the accomplishment of
good advertising, there is no limit to the wants
ready created or that might be created. The mer-
chant is dead who does not realize that there
starving millions waiting for him to satisfy their
wants create for them wants. This advertis-
ing idea to create wants and satisfy existing
wants is no thing, the Egyptians used hand
bills and posters made of papyris 5000 years ago.
Printing invented less than 500 years ago, and
the newspapers then started Soon afterwards
advertising became associated with printing The
advertising idea originated 30 centuries ago.
Some present day merchants haven't got the idea yet
With present day opportunities to advertise there is
no limit to what may accomplish i'm business lines.
The local merchant may easily double his local bust
ness. He has through the local paper wonderfully
cheap way to gain publicity. There is newspaper

"Some years ago macadam roads were considered good

the advent of the automobile and truck these roads

anda OF a low-roofed, whitewalled
bungalow in st. Pierre.
One of these men was Ilington. a
young American. He passed around
a box of fragrant Martinique cheroots
He folded up some half-dozen slips OF
paper he had been examining and re-
turned them to another individual who
faced him from across the table.
"senor Hernandez" exclaimed the
young American. "for a week at least
half hundred times--I have told
you your credentials were satisfactory
to me-"
Hernandez nodded gravely. He
thrust the papers back into a pocket
and tapped them significantly.

claimed grandiloquently. II am Her.

Suddenly the American turned and
faced the third member Of the coterie.
"And what" he exclaimed. what OF

This third individual was the
strangest creature OF them all. He
was a Mexican; dark, very dark; low.
browed; low-statured-and-fat.
Hernandez nodded significantly.

the American.
Hernandez bowed. You toll me.

Tho American turned his back for

exchanged significant glances.
Ilington turned back TO them. TT

Ilington crossed the veranda and

Anxiously he turned his gaze down
the hill. Then with a bound he was

to his breast and dragging the frenzied
Manuella after him.
Shrieks from a thousand throats
rent the air without. Ilington glanced
into the street. His face went white.
Ashes. red-hot pieces of molten lava
were dropping In a shower.
Ilington, who had been holding
Annette, surrendered her in an instant
to Manuella. He darted into an inner
room and opened the safe. From this
safe he took canvas bag that jingled
with the gold pieces It contained. He
thrust this bag into one hip pocket OF
his trousers. having already secreted
