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 writer
may possess. 1t 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 ma
turally interesting mind, with concentration
and care added.
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 a declaration Of independence. -
The really successful writer of advertise
ments must be a very able writer-BE-
CAUSE HE CAN'T BE SUCCESSFUL UN-
LESS HE CARRIES CONVICTION.
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.
In addition to being interesting and con-
vincing, the good writer of advertisements
sincere, practical ring to what he says. If
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. ..,...--
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. III. 4,
When we consider the qualities when 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 OF plays.
It may be said, in fact, that any writer,
no matter what his ultimate literary amb-
lions might be-, could add to his equipment
and his efficiency by taking course in the
writing of advertisements under good
teacher. csae-
Some of the cleverest writing that is done
in the United States is done by ADVERTISE
ment writer's. The English is 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. EE -.-..t =

considered the use Of literary skill MIS-
PLACED in writing advertisements. .@#
The writing of good, truthful advertiser
ments results in the distribution OF products
on a large scale, in stimulating industry, and
very often in reduction of prices to the
consumer 49, since successful advertising
means an increased demand, enormous pro-
dicton, and therefore, smaller prices.
DO not think that the successful writing OF
advertisements is an undertaking interesting
to a 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 chance of success is
slight in these days. -~.....

TRACING ATTENTION.
To give advice in regard to "judcious ad-
vertising" is not easy. There are many
lines of success in all undertakings. Per-
haps few maxms 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

We should suggest diffidently, also, that
too much effort at humor is not good in writ
ing advertisements.
If man is in need of 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 go solemn earnestness when the mo-
ment comes to impress the reader. We are
acquainted with a young man, manufac-
turer Of pills, whose character is not at all
romantic. His earnestness exceeds in depth
the Atlantic Ocean. He. gives his pills in
gold boxes as wedding presents. He dis
tributes them at banquets His whole soul
is in those pills. Needless to say, he

With such purpose in view, every adver-

that is not based on truth. The advertiser is
shortsighted, a foolish investor, and future
failure if he begins an advertising campaign

a campaign may do for circus travelling
