Secrets of Good Advertising

Concentration

An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper win bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. Don't skip around from one newspaper to another. Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd. - Pick outthe newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers, and then stick. If you want to make an advertisement hit all you need to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk across the counter the counter to a customer. Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. The fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates public confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the estimation of thousands of people who may be months in getting around to make their first mirchase. y 4v 5rH?MHt7,may'bc?ood ut advertisement that sells goods, even if copied, is better.

Basketball enthusiasts will have an opportunity of witnessing some good games this wee-k and a number of fast Quintets will clash on the different gym floors. The Emerson school floor at Gary will be kept warm throughout the week, as seven games have been scheduled. So far Gary is proving itself to be the basketball city of the Calumet region, having placed eight quintets in the field. A city championship league has teen formed and some good jmateHal is being found. Only one game has been played in the city series and an attempt will be made to schedule a game every night. To date the Electrics loom up as the possible city champions. The All Stars of Hammond are In close running order with Crown Point for first honors, and a game between the two teams is being eagerly waited for. neither team having lof?t a game. Both quintets are about evenly matched and when they get together there will be something doing.

KLAUS HAS EDGE Chicago Middleweight Puts UpGood Fight and Has Foe in Distress. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 30. Frank Klaus outpointed George Brown of Chicago in a six-round fight at Old City Hall last night. The local middleweight, who has been hailed by many as the most logical claimant of the middleweight championship, did the cleaner boxing and landed the most blows, but he was not a "bit more willing to fight at any time than Brown. Neither was the Pittsburg "bear cat" any atronger at the finish. Two of the rounds belonged to Klaus and one to Brown, the other three being even. The Chicago fighter landed the most effective blow of the contest with a hard right to the Jaw ...wr.is h. mump in tne stomach. Klaus appeared to be in distress momentarily but weathered the storm well. JTe came up strong for the fourth round and had the advantage lp that and the succeeding session. Brown had his hands swinging like a windmill throughout. Minn v,i. blows were wild, but some of them found their target and those that did hurt. Nate Lewis, manager of the Chicago Greek, stated after the contest that he considered the fight a good draw. "The route was too short for Brown," safa he. "I am ready and willing to send Brown' against Klaus for fifteen or twenty rounds and bet some money on my man to win." KLING REFUSES TO TRADE TYLER FORREULBACH Johnny Kling la not ready to trad George Tyler for Ed Reulbach. A telegram from the Boston man ager last night made plain the position of the former Vest side backstop. He is a firm believer in the future of Tyler, and evidently does not care to cart with him. Kling is in the market for trades, but unless he changes his mind the deal Involving Tyler and Reulbach will never be made. A Chicago paper yesterday printed an interview with Manager Chance of the Cubs in which the Peerless Leader stated that he was Instructing Presi dent Murphy to offer Reulbach for Tyler. rresraeni Aiurpny had not received the telegram from Chance at the time he left his office yesterday. It will be waiting for him today, as word from the P. L last night was to the effect that he had wired the Cubs president at 2:30 yesterday afternoon outlining the deal. KERR WINS CUE GAME.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb Is the subject of a few words from Jack Warhop. Jack says he has something new to stop Cobb from hitting next year. He says he will not give it out until the season opens. It's probably a base on balls. . Just because Rube Marquard, Blackburne and Russell were phenoms who exploded with a loud noise when they were brought into the big show, some Smoky City-fans are worrying for fear their beloved Marty O'Toole will do the same 'thing. After falling down miserably In three world's championship struggles, Tyrus Cobb says he would like nothing better than to work in the National league Just to show his critics that he's a better batter and base" runner than anybody In the old organization. Sam Leever writes from his home In Goshen. Ohio, to the effect that he probably won't be able to report to Minneapolis at the start of the season. He was thrown from a horse and his knee has been badly Injured. . N Johnny Kling will make a try for the pool championship of the world at the tournament to be held in Philadelphia In March.
