Advertising in the Paper
That Goes to the Buyer

Newspaper advertising has passed the place where
it is a tumble Of guesses, notions and fancies. 1t is
science in which there are known laws and principles
just as there are in other sciences, and these laws and
principles are based on nothing else than good common
sense. Advertisers follow these known laws and prin-
ciples with ABSOLUTE FIDELITY, for they are POS
ITIVELY ESSENTIAL to the success Of advertising.
1t is a positive fact that the evening paper is the bet
ter medium for advertising. 1t has been proven so by
every successful business man, and there is not a big
merchant in the United States today who does not stick
to this axiom of advertising, and spend the greater
part of his advertising appropriation with the evening
times impressed this fact upon local advertisers, and
produces now the following table, not because it sug-
gests any new theories, but because it proves the ac-
tual PRACTICE of some Of the most experienced and
successful merchants elsewhere.
