Catalogues In Spanish and Portuguese
are unquestionably good advertising
mediums, but on condition that the
Spanish and Portuguese in which they
are written be in reality such. The
greater part OF the catalogues which are
sent from the United States to Latin
America are in truth filled from begin
ming 10 end with Spanish or Portuguese
words. but one cannot say that they are
written in Spanish or Portuguese. This
Is not a paradox, for one only needs to
read these catalogues to he convinced
that having been translated from some
other language. they preserve the rules
OF construction peculiar to the language
D. which they were originally conceived.
The manufacturer or advertiser in the
United States must come TO appreciate
S,e fact that In order for his catalogues
70 produce the desired effect In Latin

Portuguese. In English there Is a word

else. true efficiency consists in doing a
thing as It ought TO be done. 1t IL not
necessary that the catalogues be vol
luminous; II IL necessary only that they
be Ineligible. that any one may under
stand them. In order TO attain the high
est grade of efficiency advertisers In the

The coin is valued by Mr.. Hibler,
not only for lrs age. but for the queer

Judging from the countless preparations

angles by the soft curved lines Of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men n women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
