firm. The merchant that prints
his name at the top Of his ad-
VertlsementS every day goes on
the theory that thousands of read
erS are looking every morning or
evening for his particular an
nouncement. This theory is a
very pretty little piece of self
cOncelt that will not work out in
practical analysis. 1t is true
that a certain number of readers
get in the habit of looking for
announcements under a firms
name-but the vast majority of
readers have to be attracted bv
something more than a firms
name. The name Of a firm may
stand for honest merchandising,
dignity and reSpectability, but
most people are looking. for bar
gains, for new styles, for fresh
creations-in fact they are look
ing for reasons rather than dig
nifty or reSpectabiIity. They
know the firm is all right. 1t has

top lines should sparkle and snap
with news interest. They should
tell something and mean some
thing. They should get reader
interest the moment the paper
is open.
Advertising must be vivid anc

DEATH VALLEY HOTTEST
PLACE IN THE WORLD

Ten years of records obtained at the
United States Weather Bureau substa-
ton at Greenland ranch I'm Death Val
ley. Cal. indicate that this IL the hot
test region I'm the United States and
probably on earth.
The average OF extreme maximum
temperature reported 10 the United
States Department Of Agriculture since
1911 has been 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
At Greenland ranch temperatures of
100 degrees kahrenheit or higher oc-
cur almost daily during June. July
and August The hottest month on
record is July, 1917. when tho mea n
temperature was 1912 degrees Fab
renheit. But the temperature Of 1874
degrees Fahrenheit observed on July
10. 1918, Ia believed by metcorologists
TO be the highest natural air tempera-
ture ever recorded with q standard
tested thermometer exposed in the
shade under approved conditions.
Death Valley is from two to eight
miles wide and about 100 miles long
lying between high mountain ranges
II Ia the deepest depression In the
United States. some estimates placing
It's lowest point Mt 337 feet below sea
level. Greenland ra anCh is f7S feet below
sea level. White people find the mid

Indians go up to the Punamint Range
during July and August.

Successful agriculture cannot be main
tained on less than fifteen or twenty
inches OF annual precipitation withou
the aid OF irrigation. A group o.
springs serve as tho source of irriga

ADVERTISING MUSTN'T
HAVE WHISPERS

1t is true that constant itera-
ton and reiteration does the
trick in Advertising. Keeping
Everlastingly at Il" is a good
old, timeworn slogan that eX-
presses in forceful way the real
secret of success in Advertising.
1t is daily and "damnable"
iteration that fixes the WhlskerS
of Smith Brothers cough drops
indelibly in the public mind.
The luXuriant hirsute that adornS
the chins of Smith Brothers has
gone out of style with long skirts
and bustleS but the Smith Broth
ers' whiskerS go right on fixing
the identity of a cough-drOp
that is sucked by millions.
Imagine for a moment the
disastrous consequences of shay
ing off those WhiskerS just to cater
to mans whimsical notions of
style in facial adornment. Safety
razors have become 50 numerous
and so easy to use that there
would seem to be no excuse for
perpetuating the pictures Of Smith
Brothers Whiskers. But think
of the millions of dollars eXpend-
ed to fix those whiskerS in the
public mind as a means of identl-
fying a certain brand of cough
drops. A whiskerleSS cough-drop
would not be the original and
genuine. There are too many
Smiths. Any one by the name
of Smith might manufacture a
cough-drop but if the whiSkers
were not there it would not be the
cough-drop that Josh Perkins
has always used and he would not
tough it.
SO much for the value of ;
trademark that has been flXec
in the public mind by years o.
advertising, You can burn the
buildings in which the cough
drops are made, and the Smith
Brothers with their whiskers may
be gathered in by the Grin
Reaper, but you can't burn thi;
particular cough-drop and the
Smith Brothers whlskerS out o
the public mind.
But there is a lot of Advertising
that must have the whisker
