First PriZe--S5.00.
By Helen Hester, Glenwood, la.

Why do |, being a woman with no
need for motor truck, pick out this
as the most clever advertisement? |
do so because if ever were to pur-
chase motor truck | could not help
but investigate and possibly purchase
the Smith-Form-a-Tru
The success OF the advertisement is
found in three things, that it gains
and holds the attention, produces a
conviction of the worth of the truck
and an impulse to purchase the same.
In gaining the attention the adver-
tisement has the precedence of posi-
ton, occupying more than half of the
right-hand side of page devoted al
most entirely to advertising. Further
advantage is gained by heavy black
outline. Interest is stimulated by the
novel phrase, $3.50 and Ford--one-
ton truck" in large black type, with

will inform himself about the Smith
Form-a- Truck.
This wcl-arranged advertisement is
judicious investment and will in
duce many present and prospective
users of motor trucks to investigate
the merits of the Smith Form-a-
Truck and there is no question that it
will result in many sales

FIRST PRIZE FAD"
Explanation of Awards.

In Judging these letters, no attempt
has been made to Judge the ads on
which the responses are based. Judg-
ment is rendered upon the answers
only.
Had all the contestants adhered to
the 300-word limitation, the list OF
prize winners would have been some
what altered. Two of the very best
answers were eliminated, because the
number of words exceeded this re-
quirement.
A surprisingly large number of con-
testants made good analysis of the
advertising. In fact. as many as
thirty of the answers would be wor-
thy of reproduction if space allowed.
So many elements entered into the
final decision that many readings
were necessary. None of the letters
were read less than twice--many re-
CURED eight or ten readings before
final judgment was passed.

consider the attached advertise
ment of the Murphy-O' Brien Auto
company the best in Sundays issue
for several reasons. In the first place
an advertisement must be so arranged
as to catch the eye and must convey
an agreeable impression. The mas
sive portico, the golf links and the
mountains towering in the distance,
with the luxurious motor car in the
foreground, all unite to. give the i'm
preston OF an aristocratic summer
resort, making very agreeable pic
ture.
The next requisite for good ad-
vertisement is that the article adver-
tised must be OF real worth, so as to
create a genuine interest The state
ments contained in this advertisement
do not make any exaggerated claims
for the Paige car. They are plain,
frank statement of the facts.
The arguments are also well or
dered. Each follows each in natural
and easy sequence. The advertisers
first state their own qualifications for
Judging motor cars and their own
opinion of the Paige car, which they
then substantiate by relating the re-
ception given the car by the public.
But they state that this very favor
able reception is not to be marveled
at so much because of the many good
points of the Paige car, which are
then recitcd. They end up by sub
hitting the truth of their statements
to fair examination by the pros
pective purchaser.
On the whole, the advertisement is
pervaded with spirit. of openness
and sincerity
