THE SILENT SALESMAN.

Advertising is mass salesman
ship. All the principles en-
bodied in Individual salesmanship
are applied to the mass in Ad-
vertising. II is merely the null
tiplicatlon Of the man-behind-
the-counter many thousands Of
times. Ii has an advantage over
the man behind the counter,
however, in that the sales ap-
peal is written by an expert sales
man. Not all clerks are sales
men. Many persons who stand
behind the counter are clerks
hence the name. Some Of them
are statesmen.
The printed salesman in news
papers has other advantages over
the man behind the counter.
The customer cannot talk back
to him. He cannot ask a lot Of
fool questions. The salesman
in print also works while the
man behind the counter sleeps,
and he works All the time so long
as there is anybody to read a
newspaper. The advertisement
works Sundays and holidays all
the year round in rainy weather
and clear weather.
If Advertising is selling tc
the mass, then the newspaper is
!. the most important medium for
the advertiser who wishes to reach
the masses instead Of the classes

TALKS ON NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
By Truma A. De Wees Buffalo, n.

a newspaper for the advertising
that is in il. She will not always
admit that she reads the ad-
Vertising. She eagerly grabs the
newspaper morning and evening
because she wants TO know what is
happening in her own town and
in the great world outside. She
is news hungry; and this is but
a natural universal hunger. We
are by nature gregarlous. If
we were not there would be no
cities. Human beings would not
s;gregate. They would not build
houses close together. And this
great gregarlous instinct devel-
ops a powerful curiosity to learn
something about the other fell
lows business.
And the advertising is part
of the news" If advertising
isn't news" the merchant should
employ an advertising manager
who can pAt news" into it.
Whether he wishes to or not,
the reader gradually absorbs this
news in the advertising columns
and an impression is made from
day to day which time cannot
efface.
And this silent salesman is a
repeater who does not give Of
fence. He comes day after day
with persistent regularity. The
household does not tire Of him
because he comes in a new garb,
new type, new arguments, new
bargains. new creations OF fac
tory and loom, a new lntroduc-
ton in the morning, and a new
salutation in the evening. When
properly clothed in the language
Of simple salesmanship. with
out bombastlc trimmings or pom
pous rhetoric, he easily gets a
| hearing because OF his neWneSs
and freshness, and because of his
earnest sincerity, and because he
radiates optimism in every word.
| He is creative, constructive
force. He does not preach penu-
| riousness nor pesslmism. He
gets the household exchequel
INTO circulation.
/ Thus the silent salesman be
