San Francisco, Cal.-Appearing in
court to press her suit for divorce from
Michael Raphael, Mrs. Helen Raphael
told Judge Mogan that Raphael led
her to believe before they were married
that he owned a prosperous saloon and
that she would not have married him
had she known his true financial condi.
tion-which she said was not SO good
as represented. $
Il. "You place saloon higher than
love-" the court observed, and. he was
so dumfounded by the woman's con.
fession that he had to take the case
under advisement.

HOW SHOULD AN ADVERTISEMENT BE WRITTEN?
ARequest al Advertiser.

A well-known advertiser has asked The,
Washington Times to publish "some ideas on
style" and some suggestions as to the most
effective manner Of writing advertisements.
AS to "style" we have very little to say.
The man writes best who takes the least
thought of style as he writes. @
The striving for style usually results in
spelling any natural ability that a. writer
may possess. It results also, usually, in pro-
ducing an affected, unpleasant, and uncon-
vincing method of expressing thought.
Style in writing has no value unless it ex-
presses the natural thinking process Of a ma
turally interesting mind, with concentration
and care added. ,I,. =s& Z,
AS to the writing of advertisements, we
should give no advice other than that which
we should give to the man who might want
to write play, a sermon, legal argument,
or declaration Of independence.
The really successful writer of ADVERTISE
ments must be very able writer-BE-.
: CAUSE HE CAN'T BE SUCCESSFUL UN-
LESS HE CARRIES CONVICTION. @se
The successful writer Of advertisements,
in addition to being CONVINCING, must be
INTERESTING. .
He must begin his advertising statement
in such way as to interest the jaded reader,
for whose attention thousands are clamor-
ing.
And, having fixed that readers passing in
terest, he must convince him Of both the
truth and the Importance of what he has to
say. 3s
In addition to being interesting and con-
vincing, the good writer Of advertisements.
must be BUSINESSL1KE. There must be a
sincere, practical ring to what he says. #
man is asked to spend money, he likes to
feel that he is dealing with practical, COM
petent man.
Therefore, the really good advertisement,
must be interesting, convincing, businesslike,
and practical ~.
In addition, the good writer of advertise
ments possesses, of course, the quality Of:
terseness. He must yearn to be brief, with.
out being dull and colorless. q.
The man who writes advertisements
spends his employers money with every.
word that he puts down. His words must
each have value-or, at least, not one Of
them must be wasted.
When we consider the qualities which a
good writer of advertisements must possess,
it is very easy to understand that certain Of
these writer's find their profession more
profitable than that Of the successful writer
Of fiction or plays. .,,,., 3-..-
It may be said, in fact, that any writer,
!, no matter what his ultimate literary ambi-
: tions might be-. could add to his equipment
and his efficiency by taking a course in the
writing Of advertisements under a good
teacher.
Some Of the, cleverest writing that is done
in the United States is done by advertise
ment writer's. The English .iss good, the
thought is novel, the style IS original BE-
CAUSE THE THINKING PROCESSES ARE
ORIGINAL.
The literary person would be very foolish
who should affect to consider the writer of
advertisements as necessarily inferior to the
writer of other literature. M
And any man would be doubly foolish if he

considered the use or literary skill MID
PLACED in writing advertisements: d.
The writing Of good, truthful ADVERTISE
ments results in the distribution Of products
on a large scale, in stimulating industry, and
very often in a, reduction Of prices to the
consumer - since successful advertising
means an increased demand, enormous pro-
duction, and therefore, smaller prices:
Do not think that the successful writing Of
advertisements is an undertaking: interesting
to small class only. If it were it would not
attract attention in this column.
Every business man is interested in, the
question. And every. young man who hopes
for business success is interested in the writ
ing Of advertisements. There are many
chances for Young men to make success as
writer's Of advertisements. WITHOUT good
advertising every mans change of success is
slight in these days.
To, advertise well means to succeed in AT
TRACING ATTENTION.
q 70 give advice in regard to "judicious ad-
vertising" is not easy There are many
lines Of success in all undertakings. Per-
haps few maxims might be constructed that
would be generally useful and true in writing
advertisements.
First would come, in our opinion, the very
old advice from great writer to "see
thing clearly and describe it simply"
Clear VISION and SIMPLE description
those are the essentials Of good writing, in
Guiding good advertisement writing.
We should suggest ~diffidently, also, that
too. mich effort at humor is not good in writ
ing advertisements.
If man is in need Of a pair Of trousers or
on overcoat he is in earnest. He wants
TROUSERS and NOT joke.
"A light touch is good in all writing, But
with that general lightness of tone there
must 20 solemn earnestness when the mo-
ment> comes to impress the reader. We are
acquainted with young man, manufac-
turer Of pills, whose character is not'a all
romantic. His earnestness exceeds in depth
the Atlantic Ocean. He gives his pills in
I gold boxes as wedding presents. He dis
tributes them at banquets. His whole soul
is sin those pills. Needless to say, he
SUCCEEDS.
Extensive advertising is based upon the
desire and extent to establish extensive and
PERMANENT business relations with the
public. Wv
: With such purpose in view, every adver-
Using statement should have for its founda-
). ton TRUTHFULNESS. Nothing will last
that is not based on truth. The advertiser is
shortsighted foolish investor, anda future
failure if he begins an advertising campaign
based on falsehood and exaggeration. Such
a campaign may do for a circus travelling
from town to town, or for g, Barnum, whose
theory was that the people love to be fooled.
!. They do enjoy harmless "woolly horses"
but they do NOT want cotton in their woolly
shirts.
One of this country's most successful mer-
chants has for his sole rule, NEVER TO
PERMIT AN ADVERTISINGsS STATEMENT
THAT is NOT TRUE.
Others write more brilliant advertisements
than his-but none succeed better.
Which is all we have. to say about adver-
Using for the moment. w Washington Times.
