These Are DAYS
When the Reader
Wants to KNOW

" EFT, more than before, the adver-
Using Of today must be IN
FORMING. People are fact
hunters. They want facts about
the goods you sell-facts about the
merits and qualities of those goods,
and their costs. If you have cut the
price of commodity, they want to
know why. It is their right to know.
Earn and hold the interest and
confidence of the people who read the

KennebeC Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

A S advertising took on this char.
n acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. House wives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judy
nent. Thus the circle of people in
fluenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If a merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in

teristic Of most of Locke's stories,
the people are taken from the upper

though il does not appear so for a
time, is Jaffrey, who, tray cling in the

chieftain. she becomes the wife OF
Jaffrey's companion, the husband
dies and the widow goes 20 England
under the guardianship OF middle
