ADVERTISING
GOOD DESCRIPTIVE MATTER.

Having written the introduction for
the advertisement, the writer arrives
at the point where he is to tell about
the goods he is offering for sale or
that he has just received in stock to
be offered later,
This part of the advertisement Is
every bit as important as those which
we have already discussed in previous
articles. Upon the clearness of de-
scriptiOn depends very largely the sue
cess of the advertisement in creating
a desire.
Good descriptive matter is, first of
all, free from misleading or false
statements. Then, it is written in
simple, easily understood language
that makes you almost see the mer-
chandise in your mind.
Too frequently the advertiser knows
the goods so well that he fails to real
lie that the reader knows perhaps
nothing about them and he omits inn
portant details from his description.
The good ad-writer places himself
In your position and asks himself
questions that you might ask. Then
he answers them truthfully and con-
cisely with the result that you can
understand clearly the correct nature
Of the merchandise.

A State Cement Plant

At a meeting of the Business
Mems Club Tuesday evening,
the propersition to build a state
cement plant in connection with
the lime crushing plant was
heartily and unanimously en-
dorsed and a committee was
appointed to bring the matter
before the Legislature.
This is a step that the State
should by all means take if it is
the purpose of the State to
spend any considerable amount
on roads, for it has already been
demonstrated that concrete roads
are the most economical in the
ing run and the best at all
times. This taken in connec-
ton with the fact that the State
owns millions and millions of
tons of the very best cement
material, and that right be-
side a railroad, and has the
necessary labor to do the work,
makes it look as if such a plant
would become an absolute neces-
sity in connection with the
States road program. Toneglect
such a plant and dump millions
of dollars into other states for
material that could be made OF
he States own property with
convict labor would be little
short of an economic crime.
1t is hoped that the power
that be will make thorough
investigation of the matter anc'
handle the business to the yer!
nest advantage to the State as !;
whole.
