THE UNJAZZED WORLD

Who says the world is not getting
better? A dealer in music and
musical instruments predicts the
downfall of the jazz, and says that
the slide trombone and other long
winded instruments which have tor
tured the public ear for the last few
years are giving way before de-
mands for the guitar and mandolin
and the type of song which can be
sung by them.
1t seems too good to be true, but
who should know if not the dealer?
OF course, when he goes on 10 pre-
dict revival of the harp, it gets
more difficult to believe-that
would be too heavenly. But if the
guitar can supersede the trombone,
and the Suannee River crowd out
Dardanella, why the price of sugar
can come down and rents go back to
normal. If Jazz of one kind is out,
surely the others are on the way.
Heaven speed the unjazzed world!

Never before in the history of
business was advertising so inform
alive as now. Originally advertise,
ments were routine kind of notices.
in which the seller of merchandise
reminded the public of his exist
ence, and handed out vague prom
ises about his goods.
Then for time there was a ten
dency to write advertisements that
tried to be funny and smart, and at
tract attention by their cleaverness,
without giving much Information
about goods.
The modern ad writer has come
down to brass tacks. He tries to tell
people in Straightforward way
what he has to sell. He describes
his line of goods, his styles, and
particularly his prices. AS a result
the buyer can get very intelligent
idea of the state of the market, be-
fore he enters any store or looks at
any goods.
This is the way any skilled buyer
goes to work. The purchasing agent
of a business concern would not at
tempt to make any contracts until
he had looked over his trade papers
and found out what were the tend
encies in the market, what styles
were favored, and what prices were
being offered. Armed with a care
full study of market conditions, he is
ready to do business, and can make
better trades than the man who
took no pains TO inform himself.
The newspaper advertising offers
to the household and personal buyer
the same service that the trade pa
per and the market report provide
TO the corporation purchasing agent
After study of newspaper adver-
Using, the buyer for the home gains
a better idea what should be paid
for any article.
The careful student of home store
advertising should be able to buy 10
to 20 per cent. cheaper than the
person who pays no attention to the
store news.
