This Man Thought of Something
New in Advertising
By Doing 1t He Helped YOU as Well as the Store
That He Advertised.

The Washington Times
ig A. few days ago the newspapers
printed little notice of the death of
John E. Powers, up in Brooklyn. There
was no great display of the item.
Nobody was interviewed. The news
was promptly forgotten by most of
those who read it.
But Mr.. Powers had made more peo.
pie spend money than any other man
in America.
Millions Of people opened their
pocketbooks because he suggested it
| For forty years he had been the
man who said: Here is something
you want Buy it., Buy 1t of ME-"
Not one in a hundred Thousand peo-
pie he addressed knew who he was.
Somebody else's name was always
signed to his messages. For he was
an ADVERTISING man
1t was almost half a century ago
that he devised the style of publicity
known as conversational advertising"
He originated the idea of putting
salesmanship on paper
What the clerk said to the customer
in the store. II he was a good sales
man. Mr.. Powers said to the possible
buyer at his home
In that way he gained the advant-
age OF the first hearing, the benefit Of
the opening argument
He believed that people liked to be
talked to. and when it was evident
that he was getting an audience other
advertisers and other advertising
writers copied his style and his
methods.
1t took more space to tell the stores
stories but IT paid
II isn't what you pay for a thing
that determines economy or profit
II is what il returns to you, what you
get out OF it.
Advertising has grown nightly
since Mr.. Powers first announcement
was published.
Some OF the producers that thought
his style of advertising. or any other
style. was useless, have long ago dis
appeared. along with their products.
a soap that when he began writing
ads was the biggest seller and best
known laundry article in the world.
and the trademark of which was judg-
ed by the courts to be worth more
than a million dollars. is never heard
of now WHY? Because the man
who made it thought he didn't need to
advertise.
OtleT men Win pcfndpS ho cCtAcA
soaps but better brains displaced the
miilion-dollar name to the point OF
disappearance
A tooth powder that forty years ago
was literally in everybody's mouth fol-
lowed the same course of atrophy for
the same reason
| Atrophy means to wither away. Mr..
Powers would never have used the
word in one OF his advertisements. be
cause he used plain words, easy TO
understand.
/ Scores and scores of other good pro
ducts have failed because of the lack
lof publicity.
Advertising never failed to build
business If the thirg advertised was
worth buying TWICE.
With a good thing to sell and 9
good advertisement. in a good medium
to sell it. success is certain.
No good newspaper will advertise
a bad thing If it knows it is bad
Morally it isn't right to do it Selfish
lly it isn't good business
TRUTH is the foundation of al

HUMPBACK SALMON.
Transplanted from Pacific to Allan
tic, and Appear to be Thriving.

Transplanted from Pacific to Allan
tic, and Appear to be Thriving.
The experiment OF transplsnting the
humpback salmon from Pacific to Allan
tic waters, seems to have been successful.
The bureau of fisheries makes most en-
couraging report this year. The commits
sloner says; There is now in progress a
run OF humpback in the section between
the Penobscot river and Passamaauoddy
bay. Quite number OF fish have been
caught or observed at the dam in the Pc
nobscot river at Bangor, but the principal
run is in Psssamaquoddy bay and streams
tributary thereto, especially in Dennys
river and Pembroke river.
1.-The herring weirs in Passamaquod DIV
bay are taking considerable numbers Of
humpbacks, and it was reported some
days ago that an Eastport herring fisher
man had boatIoad of humpbacks which
were sold at is cents q pound, and more
recent reports are that these fish are
bringing the fishermen 20 cents a pound
and are being retailed at 40 to so cents
pound. One Of the bureaus superin-
tendents who has been investigating on
the spot writes that people who have
eaten humpbacks claim them to be as
good as Atlantic salmon. This is proba-
bly, true OF the fish Just running in from
the sea, but rapid deterioration OF the
mesh ensues after the humpbacks enter
fresh water.
THE bureau is making arrangements
to take humpback eggs on both Denpys
and Pembroke rivers, and there is reason
to believe that the work will be quite
successful. A card just received from a
fisherman at Dennysville SAYS the humps
are here by the thousands.'n
