ADVERTISING PAYS WELL.
The Farmer Who Uses Want Ads.
Sells His Goods First.

Many business firms would be com
PEELED to quit business in six month
if they did not advertise. Farming
is a business. Why should not the
farmers advertise the same as other
business men? The farmer that ad-
vertises his produce, is the one that
sells it first. Look about and you
will see that this is true.
Want ads are business getters, and
pay well if properly written. Many
rural weeklies feature the want ads
from farmers, and farmers profit by
them. There are right and wrong
kinds of want ads. 1t is all in the
way they are written.
How do you like this ad?
"JOHN DOE, Tower, Wash.-Two
sows, one for sale, S125.OO"
Compare it with the following:
1.-TWO pure-bred registered Duroc-
Jersey sows, two years old in May,
both bred in April No. for sale at
500, and No. 2 for S125. Write
quick for particulars. John Doe,
Tower, Wash"
Which of the ads will sell the SOW?
An effective want adj tells what is
for sale, includes brief descrip-
ton: the age, the breeding, the price.
Many ads without the price and de-
scription fail because most people dis =
like to write for particulars. Try
several properly written want ads
in your home paper.
