TALKS ON NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

logue than it does in a peal store.
One Of these pictures c atches her
eye and the woman Sc nds IN an
order. 1t is a novel experience to
shop by mail" The 1'catalogue
habit" once started in a TOWN by
a woman of wide social qbnnec-
tions spreads with great rapidity
and will soon put a crlmpEin the
business Of every merchant in the
town.
Mail-order houses are here to
stay. They have become a part
of our merchandising system.
No one denies that they give the
consumer the benefit that comes
from large purchasing power and
the economies of a highly organiz-
ed system of merchandising. The
mail-order house gets its cash in
advance. 1t takes a good deal
OF faith to send good money for
an advertised article that has no
guarantee behind it. II is op-
/ posed to all rational systems of
marketing. If a person made it a
rule to buy nothing he could not
see and examine, merchandising
would be put on a sounder basis
and there would be fewer dis
appointments.
There is Just one cure for the
Catalogue habit" and that is
newspaper advertising. Surely
the merchant can print just as
attractive pictures as the mail
order houses can print in their
catalogues. Surely the local mer-
chant can describe his wares Just
as convincingly as they are de-
scribed in a catalogue. If he
can't he should. employ an ex-
pert a man who can combine
the lure of word-craft with the
skill of a salesman. With print
ers' ink he can pull a town out of
"the slough Of despond." He
can match the personality. &C
quaintance and reputation of the
local merchant against the lure
of long-dlstNce shopping. The
right kind Of newspaper advertis-
ing will stop the ravages Of the
catalogue house and will keep at
home the brain and Drawn anc
enterprise that are necessary to
keep a town from falling into
| decay.

KILLING THE
CATALOGUE HABIT"

The mall-order house which
sells everything By maii-from a
pound of dates to a talking
machines a development Of
modern merchandising. 1t is
built on the theory that men and
women will buy something they
cannot see or feel so long as it is
attractively illustrated and has a
price below the price for which if
is sold by the local merchant.
This is one of the weaknesses Of
human nature that is past all
understanding. 1t has given rise
to the Catalogue habit" 1t
| is death to the town and death
to all forms of local merchandiS-
ing.
1t is the job of the newspaper
to discourage the catalogue hab-
it" and to keep a town alive.
The newspaper has to have read
ers and advertisers. The news
papers job is to not only keep a
town alive, but make it grow
and prosper. 1t is one thing to
keep it alive, and quite another
thing to make it grow.
One of the most important
things for the newspaper to do in
the process Of keeping a town
alive is to kill the Catalogue
habit" If all the people bought
everything they use from cata
logues most cities would be wiped
off the map-for merchandising
is the backbone OF a city. Mer
chandising is, in fact, the only
excuse a city has for existing. II
is to facilitate the exchange Of the
products OF farm and factory
that city is organized. Perhaps
the cities of olden times hac
their birth in mans gregarlou:
instinct-the desire to huddle to
gether--but surely the city of to
day is built up on merchandising
activity-in fact. the distribution
of products from factories is tht
chief business Of a city.
1t is easy for a woman to- fal
a victim to, the lure Of the cata
logue. The picture of a lawn
mower or an oak table looks 81
much more attractive in a cata
