''Talks on Newspaper Advertising"
By A DwEEsE, Buffalo NY

Using, takes away some of the
profits of the business and the
amount is charged up against
Publicity and Promotion. 7'
Of course you cannot take
the Guess entirely out of
Advertising. If you could
there wouldn't be enough
newspapers and magazines in
the country to hold all the
advertising. But the Guess
in Advertising is getting small
err and smaller every year as
Advertising becomes a more
carefully developed factor in
merchandising. AS we bring
Advertising closer to Sales
manship and strive to CO.
ordinate them the Guess be-
gins to give way to merchan-
diSing facts that are so nearly
accurate that a merchant or
manufacturer may safely
build sales estimates around
advertising plans and appro-
priations. He can come very
near mathematical accuracy
in computing the volume of
business that will come from
a certain advertising effort.
Advertising is not a science
it is an art-but we have
discovered a lot of ways for
making Advertising yield de-
pendable results and for
eliminating a large amount
of guess-work from it. The
merchant doesn't have to have
a scientific mind to know that
you cannot reach the people
in Troy by advertising in
Albany, nor can you market
a safety razor by advertising
in women's publications.
Neither does it require a
scientific mind to understand
that when business is dull it
is not the time to stop adver-
Using. There is no time in

which it is wise to stop adver-
tising-but of all times the
slack seasons would seem to
be the psychological time for
stimulating sales through in
creased. advertising effort. In
stead of applying a vigorous
advertising "tonic" for slow
movement of goods, many
manufacturers and merchants
are conducting extensive in
veStigations which result in
lengthy reports covering "con-
ditions." The remedy for
poor business is not in Stats
tics. The wide-awake, up-to-
date merchant is pushing the
goods off of his shelves
through vigorous, persistent
advertising while his COM
petitor is compiling statistics
to show that business has gone
to the bow-wows.
| have seen a shoe mer-
chant who was overstocked
with particular kind of
mems shoes clean out the en-
tire stock in two days with
an advertisement in two news
papers that cost him $500.
The time to take medicine is
when you are sick; the time
to touch the accelerator is
when you are driving your
car uphill. Instead of giving
her more gas many a mer-
chant climbs out of his mer-
chandising car, puts a large
rock behind the rear wheel
and lets the machine stand
there waiting for somebody
to come along with a high
power machine and tow him
to the garage. Advertising
is, the accelerator that will
take most any backward bust
ness up the hill.

Taking the .
"Cuess" out
of Advertising

All sorts of methods are
offered from time to time to
take the Guess out of Adver-
Using. Every man who is
engaged in marketing a
nationally advertised product
is in daily receipt of PROPOSE
tons from efficiency adver-
Using experts offering to take
the Guess out of Advertising.
These experts never sold any
thing through advertising, and
they know nothing about the
particular product advertised
but they are experts.
Once in a while the Presi-
dent of a corporation who
happens to be An amiable per-
son with a venturesome dis
position will yield to the soft
beguilements of one of these
experts and will turn him
loose in his factory or his
mercantile establishment. The
only reason he can offer for
this adventure into the "blue-
sky" realms of Efficiency is
the thought that sometimes
an outsider who knows moth
ing about a business can dis
cover a new angle or uncover
a new talking argument be-
hind a product which has not
occurred to the persons who
have coddled it and slept with
it from its infancy.
Such adventures nearly
always bring the same result

CENTRAL COPPER.

n. H. Tt should like to have
some advice on Central Copper Corn
Pany Of Arizona. l am paying for
stock on the instaiment plan.
Answer-It In too late for @sAvfeeS
to be Of sny use.
II you had sought counsel before
buying the stock. 1t is not likely you
would have ventured as we should
have instructed you to leave IT alone.
We can discover nothing about the
proposition, after q careful reading
of all the literature put out, that
would induce any one that had a real
izing sense of proportion to believe
that the stock had the slightest In
vestment value.
The company is selling stock
through agents who visit small inves-
tors and probably pays a pretty stiff
rate of commission. We do not know
of any successful copper mining COM
pany in America today that was cap
italized this way. -
Copper mining Is a rich mans game.
1t is common knowledge among
mining experts that 1t requires at
least a period of ten years of time and
make copper property of known
value pay. In many cases this esti-
mate is altogether too small.
More than SIS, ZOO, 900 was expsnd-
ed on Nevada Consolidsted before a
penny was taken out Of IT in profit
In our opinion the small investors
who buy Central Copper stock can
have only a forlorn hope.

WETUMPKA WINS GAME
FROM ASHLAND TEAM

Ashland November 26.-(Special
Ashland's Painters brought their
football season to a close Turkey
Day, when they lost to Wetumpkas
strong Aggies by hard luck scor e
of IA to 49, The result was a de-
cided upset Of the dope. as the Pan
theirs were doped to return loser by
three touchdowns. at the least. How
ever, the jump shift employed by the
Wetumpka boys, failed to fool the
Clay county squad, while Ashland's
bewildering aerial attack was too
much for the boys from the Prison
city
Although Ashland was returned
loser in the fray, the Panthers feel
as much elated as though they had
won, for Wetumpka's record shows
them to be one of the best teams in
central Alabama. Less than five
minutes after the referees whistle
had sent the two elevens into battle
Weutmpka mad scored. and Bates
kicked the goal. The half ended I
to in favor of Wetumpka. Ashland
opened up with everything they had
to start the second period. and in
short time Powell had gathered in
forward pass for touchdown.
Rowland had been knocked out, and
an inexperienced man tried for goal
and missed Wetumpka scored again
in this period and the count was a
to 6. In the fourth quarter Saxon
completed a forward pass over the
goal line, after a Wetumpka man had
apparently knocked it down. This
goal was kicked and the game ended,
IA to 49,
