if he has been deprived
of it for a few days.
This universal "news-
paper habit" is the thing
that makes the modern
daily newspaper such an
important factor in mer-
chandising. 1t is the uni
versal craving for ''news"
in a democracy that has
developed these marvel
GUS mediums through
which the merchant is able
to reach his customers
with a fresh message
every day in the year.
When H. @. Selfridge,
former partner of Mar
shall Field, went into the
office of the London
Times" and ordered a full
page advertisement he Gre
ated a panic in that VEN
erable old print-shop. They
did not possess the dis
play type with which to
set up a full page adver-
tiSement. Moreover an
editorial council had to be
called to discuss the ad-
visibility of allowing the
great American merchant
to "commercialize" this
ancient and honorable rep
reSentative of the old-time
journalism. But Selfridge
blazed the way for the
larger and more intelligent
use of the newspaper as a
medium for the transmits
sion of merchandising

The repetition of selling
arguments is the life of

BERGER LOSESSU|T

nomcement to make re-
garding a commodity. He
very carefully and labor
iously groups the argu-
ment in logical sequence,
presenting a compact,
complete presentation of
his proposition. 1t is the
result of much study and
revision. In order to get
in all the selling argu-
ments he finds he will
need a half page in the
newspaper. He concludes
to make "a complete job
of it." so he runs it one
time on a half page and
pays for it what. he thinks
is a big investment in pub
licity.
If he had understood
the art of advertising he
would have taken one
selling argument! at a time
and hammered it home
from day to day through
constant iteration and re-
iteration. One-time ad-
vertising or "spasmodic
advertising" is a waste of
money no matter how
large the space or how
compactly it is filled. 1t
is constant repetition that
gradually fixes a trade
mark or firm name in the
human mind, and it is
constant repetition that
associates certain qualities
and uses with that trade
mark or name.
Now, if advertising is
repetition of selling argu-
ments, then the newspa-

The Newspaper
is a "Habit"

Everybody reads a
newspaper. Most people
read several newspapers.
The amazing growth of
the newspaper habit" is
the product of our democ-
racy the safety of which
depends upon the widest
dissemination of public
information. In no other
country in the world is
the newspaper habit" so
universal. In the old
world countries the news
paper is read only by the
educated and the prosper
Gus few. AS the kings
and emperors pass off the
stage the newspaper be-
comes the true tribune of
the people.
It is the fashion to lam
poon the newspaper, to
uecry its delinquencies, to
lament its editorial per-
versities, but the man who
pounds the press the hard
est is generally the most
omnivorous reader of the
newspapers. Put him in
the woods in the far North
without newspapers and
he frets and worries until
he gets hold of a news
paper. He doesn't always
agree with the editor
he sometimes hates him
but how he does devour

it permits of daily repeti-
ton in a vehicle that sus-
tains intimate relation to
the home. 1t comes into
the family circle every
morning or every evening.
1t knows your friends and
your neighbor's friends.
1t chronicles events and
activities that are closely
related to their interests.
Its columns pulsate with
the social and industrial
life of the community in
which your customers live.
1t carries the news of the
town into the home of the
dealer who sells your
goods. Enterprise is "a
contagious thing and if
your dealer sees your ad-
vertisement in his home
paper every day, it awak-
ems in him a spirit of CO.
operation. The newspa-
per has chronicled the do
ings of his family for gen.
erations. The files of the
paper contain his family
history, the weddings, the
deaths, the anniversaries.
1t is his source of informa-
ton regarding his party,
his church, his lodge. 1t
is because of this intimate
relation to the home that
the newspaper occupies a
field of its own as a me-
dunn, indispensable to the
advertiser who must have
a wide distribution for his
products in order to secure
the volume of business
that will yield a profit on
his investment.
