We call the attention of our readers to the high class of advertisements
that are regularly appearing In the issues of The Time3.
You have often heard people say, "I frequently enjoy going over the ad-

If an advertisement is cleverly written, neatly gotten up, perfect in Its
typographical appearance and has some small artistic ' merit, it is certainly
attractive and is a product of which the advertiser may as well be proud as
he is of the goods he sells. "
In fact a high tone advertisement gives the impression of a high grade
of goods and a slip job of composition gives the impression that the ad
vertlser conducts his business ih just that manner.
The fact will be generally conceded that Hammond advertisers are now
as progressive as their competitors in Chicago and almost any day In the week the readers of the The Times can point to an advertisment that is the equal in
every particular to those which appear In the Chicago papers.
It costs more money to get up ads in such a manner that they are fault

Educating Sorrow. We perceive not fully either our wretchedness or our dangers, or the fury of our enemies, until after events of extraordinary sorrowfulness. Philipp Melanchthon-.
Valparaiso, Ind., April 14. Editor The Times: One of my friends in Hobart has called my attention to an article in a recent issue of your paper that is so full of Injustice that I wish to correct same. At the late congressional convention at Michigan City it was very evident that I had considerable strength and Hon. Gus Greiger,
joint representative from Porter and
LaPorte counties; Riley Small, chairman of the LaPorte county republican committee and other prominent repub
licans came to me and proposed that if
I would withdraw in favor of E. D.
Crumpacker they would place me in
nomination at Indianapolis for attorney
general. I agreed to this. This ar
rangement was made with the approval
of Hon. A. J. HIckey, district chairman.
None of the gentlemen above named as men of honor will deny this. The
article in your paper says that no at
torney was to be nominated until 1910, carrying the idea that I was imposed upon. Of course everyone of average
intelligence knows that an attorney
general was to be nominated, and one
was nominated, and the nominee is
Hon. James Bingham, who is now on
the ticket. I told the gentlemen at the
time that to place my name before the
convention for attorney general so late in the campaign would be simply an honor, as I could not hope to get the nomination. When we got to Indian
apolis I found that every candidate was
expected to put up a good sum of money
for a room for headquarters, and an other good sum of money for conven
tion expenses, and I did not feel like
doing this just for the compliment of
having my name presented, so nothing was done, although the gentlemen were ready to carry out their agreement. At
the congressional convention out of eleven delegates from Porter county
where Mr. Crumpacker and I both live, five delegates had agreed to support me
and I had a strong support from the
district, so strong that Crumpacker
HOW TO WRITE RETAIL ADVERTISING COPY.
(By HERBERT KAUFMAN.) A skilled layer of mosaics works with small fragments of stone they fit Into more places than the larger chunks. The skilled advertiser work with small words they fit into more minds than big phrases. The simpler the language the greater certainty that It will be understood by the least Intelligent reader. The construction engineer plans his roadbed where there is a minimum of grade he works along the lines of least resistance. The advertisement which runs into mountainous style Is badly su.Veyed all minds are not built for falsh level thinking. Advertising must be simple. . When It is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of literary expression it looks as much out of place as a ball dress nt the breakfast table! The buying public is only Interested In facts. People read advertisements to find out what you have to sell. The advertiser who can fire the most facts in the shortest time gets the most returns. Blank cartridges make noise bet they do not hit blank talk, however, clever, is only wasted space. You force your salesmen to keep to solid facts you don't allow them to sell muslin with quotations from Omar or trousers with excerpts from Marie Corelli. You must not tolerate in your printed selling talk anything that you are not willing to countenance to personal salesmanship. Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted to the sacrifice of clear explanations write copy ns you talk. Only be more brief. Publicity Is costlier than conversation ranging in price downward from $6.00 a line, talk is not cheap, but the most expensive commodity in the world. Sketch in your ad, to the stenographer. Then you will be so busy "saying it" that you will not have time to bother about the gew-gaws writing. Afterward take the typewritten manuscript and cut out every word and every line that can be erased without omitting an Important detail. What renmins in the end is all that really counted in the beginning. Cultivate brevity and simplicity. "Savon Francaise" may look smarter, but more people will understand "French Soap." Sir Isaac Newton's explanation of gravitation covers six pages, but the school boy's terse and homely "What goes up must come down" clinches the whole thing in six words. Indefinite talk wastes space.. It Is not 100 per cent, productive. The copy that omits prices sacrifies half its pulling power it has a tendency to bring lookers instead of buyers. It often creates impesslons. Some people are bound to conceive the Idea that the goods are higher priced than in reality others, by the same token, are just as likely to Infer that the prices are lower and go away thinking that you have exaggerated your statements. The reader must be searched out by the copy Big space is cheappest because it doesn't waste a single eye. Publicity must be on the offensive. There are far too many advertisers who keep lights on top their bushel the average citizen hasn't time to overturn your bushel. Small space is expensive. Like a one-flake snowstorm, there is not enough of . It to lay. Space is a comparative matter after all. It is not a case of how much is used as how it Is used. The passengers on the limited express may realize that Jones has tacked a twelve-inch shingle on every post and fence for a stretch of five miles, but they are going too fast to make out what the shingles say. yet the two feet letters of Brown's big bulletin board on top of the hill leap at them before they have a chance to dodge it. And at that it doesn't cost nearly so much as the sum total of. Jones' dinky display. Just so one big ad. prominently displayed in one big newspaper, will find the eye of every reader, no matter how rapidly they may be "going" through the advertising pages, and produce more results than a doen piking pieces of copy scattered through half a doen dailies.

friends were very anxious for me to withdraw. Of course if I had been sure of the nomination I would not have done so. I am well satisfied with the support I had on the congressional convention especially as I did not even make a canvass of the district. Of course my political enemy, who wrote the unjust article for your paper would like to see me out of politics, but the chances are I will be in politics as long at least as he will be. Respy.
