Miss Volmer was awakened. she
said, by the clutch of a hand on
her throat. Wildly raving and talk

disordered condition of the room
shows that a terrible struggle en-
sued. Miss Volmers screams were
heard by neighbors fully all hour
before help came. Firemen at No.
hose house were awakened and
made an investigation in the imme-
date vicinity. Officers w. c.
Brown and Joseph Rauterkus, heard
the screams when they reached
Main street and Eleventh avenue

Hogan home. They got there just
after the Hogan family had been
aroused by neighbor.
Some neighbors thought the cries
came from a sick woman. Mrs.
McSorely, a neighbor, believing it
was little boy at the Hogan holhe

GAVE MERCHANTS
SOME GOOD IDEAS


IL. III. hcnneuy, Oh tne NdtOndi
Cash Register Company, gave busi-
ness men, merchants, clerks and
others a very sensible lecture and
an instructive moving picture show
on successful modern methods at
the Woman's History Club rooms
Friday night. His talk and his pic
lures showed very plainly the rea-
son why so many business men do
not make the money that they ought
out Of their investment.
Primarily the lectures and picture
are an educational advertisement
for the National Cash Register, and
it is mighty good advertising. But
it is well worth the time Of any man
who is in business, to hear him and
see the picture for it presents a
striking lesson in modern systematic
business principles, without which
no business is going to get along
these days.
During his talk, Mr.. Kennedy re-
ferred to newspaper advertising
and he told the local BUSINESS men
some things that they ought to heed
'ust as much in this connection, as
long the other lines Of his lecture
Ie said in part:
81 believe I am snfe in saying
that ten merchants nave failed be-
ouse they advertise too little, t.
every one that failed because he adj
,ertised too much. Certainly humid
eds of stores have remained small
lue to this neglect.
'Dun & Co. report that 81 pei
cent of the retail grocers who failed
1918 were men who did not ad
vertise in the local papers. Abou
the same proportions are found il
all lines.
advertising is simply way O.
telling possible purchasers abou
the goods you have for sale. Simple
words and direct statements shoult
therefore, be used in preparing you
ads. Big words and involved sen
fences will not be read. The pur
chasing public doesn't care how wei
,ducated you are. 1t simply wants
to know what you have to sell, it
quality and its price.
"Don't crowd your ads. IF an az
tells of one line of goods only i
may catch the eye, but if it il
crowded with many ideas, thu
chances are it will not be read. /
is not the number of articles YOU
advertise that counts, but the mum
her Of persons who come into YOU
store to buy the goods you adver'
tise.
81 do not mean that if you have
a large space you should use it al
tell of one article. A half pagt
ad or a page ad is really collec-
ton of smaller ads to each of which
the principle stated should apply
Each should tell of but one line Of
FOODS.
"Some printers have the idea that
lots of curly cues in type and elab-
orately designed borders, are de-
sirable. They may be, as adver-
isements for the printer, but what
you want to advertise is your goods
Use simple type insist upon it
And if you use borders let them be
plain. Don't have anything in youi
ad that detracts from the idea that
you have quality goods to sell at q
price that is right.
"Once you select a style of type
stick to it, People viii connect il
with your store and if the news you
III about what you have to sell is
interesting your ads will be read.
Especially, be sure to use one style
of type for the name OF your store
Use it wherever your name appears
