ARTHUR BRISBANE ON
VALUE OF ADVERTISING

with the newspapers of New York,
| limited in space, carrying little or no
advertising during the pressmen's
strike just ending, merchants have
learned what leaders among them al
ways knew, that the newspapers do
for business what humble bees and
other insects do for flowers and fruits.
Newspapers carry news from stores
to public as insects carry pollen from
flower to flower. No insects, no
fruit; no newspapers, slow and diff
cult business.
Merchants showed great ingen-
iousness during the strike distribut-
ing circulars, mailing news of spe-
cial sales and bargains to all Gus
toners whose addresses they possess
ed; but it was makeshift at best-not
the American way.
Take, for instance, the advertising
customers of the New York Evening
Journal, mentioned because it is edited
by this writer with the assistance of
ADLER men. The Evening Journal goes
to $4,000 families. To mail cir
| cular with 1-cent stamp to each of
those families would cost $500 foi
postage alone. 1t would cost at least
as much more to print, fold address,
mail the $4,000 circulars. They
would not carry with them the features
that cause a newspaper with its ad-
vertising to go through the hands Of
an entire family. Merchants will
agree that advertising in circulars.
given away, has not one-fifth the value
of store news as distributed through
paid advertising.
"But, leaving that as it is, to send
a full-page circular to all buyers of
the Evening Journal would cost at
least $4,000. A full-page advertise
ment in the Evening Journal costs, on
the average, less than 5000, which
includes actual delivery into the hands
of a man or woman that wants the
paper, is willing to pay cents for it
and read it. What applies TO the
Evening Journal applies with equal
or greater force to the newspaper in
your hand. It must be added that the
merchant with his store news is even
more important to the newspaper than
the newspaper to the merchant"

eastern and southeastern counties. As
a general thing the farms which have
been temporarily abandoned are those
which have never been extensively
cultivated and the decrease in acreage
under cultivation is comparatively
slight. Farmers who have become

have considerable numb, Of live
stock and poultry, and it is to be
noted that the number of dairy cattle
hogs and poultry on the farms this
year is greater than last year. despite
the slight decrease in number Of farms
