because he didn't know what pleased
him but he wanted to be sure that
what pleased him was the best, was
genuine from the standpoint of the
broadest culture.
Advertising has another phase that
the man with The Big Blue Pencil
must understand-it is not always
what pleases him, because advertis-
ing is something entirely different
from buying picture to hang in
ones house or a book we add to our
library. It is buying book to put
in the other fellows library. 1t is
buying picture TO hang IN the gal
lery of another mans mind. It is
using ideas that another man will
accept and remember. Isn't 1t then
a question-What do 1 know about
the other man to whom l am selling
my goods? Isn't that a common
sense question:? How many ever ask
it-and ~ they do-how many get
an answer that is not in reality a
mere echo of their own likes and
dislikes?

Does the advertiser know. or does
he guess, or does he buy art and
copy" that he likes? Does he
phrase 1t in that language that he
wants and appeals to him? If he
does, then he must look the facts
square In the face that his advertis-
ing is going to appeal only to those
people who are like himself, and II
he Is as highly individualized as he
probably thinks he is, then what
hope of great results Of appealing
to a great public, can there be?
Let the Big Blue Pencil study the

Advertising must be popular with
the crowd who will buy.
Let the advertiser remember that
he says IN every advertisement

is what I think you like. Here is

Its legendary lore clings to it still,

HATS OFF TO THE
HARRY MILLER co.
For Putting Over the Eighth Big
EIks' Charity Drive and Frolic

1t is fitting and proper that few
words be said about the Harry Mil
Ter company, theatrical producers
who are putting on the big Elks
Frolics which takes p'' He in Augusta,
at the Opera House next Monday
and Tuesday evenings
For twenty years Harry Miller has
been putting on minstrel and mu-
steal shows for Elk lodges. No bet
ter endorsement is needed or could
be asked, than the fact that he has
put on shows for as many as fifteen
consecutive years for the same
lodges.
The Harry Miller company is
strictly business organization
Others in the same line have come
and gone. Too many of them worked
on the principle of making a clean
up" in a single season.
Miller and his associates are salts
fled to live and let live" Elks
lodges that have tried both methods
of putting on shows have found that
they have larger net returns after
paying the Miller company than
when they have tried to economic
by putting on the show themselves.
This is the difference between strict
business efficiency and guesswork
The character of the Harry Miller
company productions is especially
pleasing and satisfactory. Every d.
rector connected with the company is
clean minded and competent. These
qualifications are insisted upon and
secured. The announcement that
the Harry Miller company is direct
ing minstrel show is a full ar
antee that it will be quality" en-
tertainment in every sense of sthe
word,
