Advertising Talks o

THE BIGGEST JOB OF THE MERCHANT Is ta get customers into his store. Outside rages the great fight of competition—the appeal of a hundred competitors shouting for business —an appeal which must be fought with every business-getting weapon available, every trick of knowledge and experience.—M. J. Bailey, in Business. Not so very long ago, there was a haberdasher lu an eastern town, whose store occupied an enviable position on the main street of his city. Just three doors above him was his strongest competitor. Both of them Jiandled similar lines, and fought for the sanie class of business. After a year of fighting with advertising, circularizing. and window displays, the haberdasher discovered he was gradually losing ground. His competitor was forging ahead; and, ponder as he might, he was unable to locate the cause. t The haberdasher in question was a man of considerable experience, and through his education In that school he had cultivated a knack of fusing theory with practicability. He comparer! prices, selling force, and advertising and display. And yet, in all he scrutinized there was no cause for the shifting of business from his store to the one three doors away. One day, he walked across the pavement- and stood at the curb, to view an attractive window display he had Just completed. A moment later, he strolled up the street, to compare his window with that of his competitor. It occurred to him during the comparison that although his display in the abstract was as good as if not better than his competitor’s, it was altogether lacking in a pulling force which appealed strongly to the passers-by. Then, like a thunderbolt, the canse of his loss of business flashed over him. It was his entrance. Competitor had contrived an entrance which, through its clever arrangement, invited a purchaser into his store. He j compared the two carefully, and his faults stood out glaringly. He had a small showcase directly in front of his store, between his show windows. His competitor had none. By discarding this extra display, he had obliterated what was in reality an obstacle in the path of a prospect who started to enter. Point number two seemed even more vital than point number one. His store was one step above the pavement level, and his competitor had no step. And again, these show' windows of his competitor were not absolutely square. They ran at an angel of forty degrees from either side of the entrance, so a display set to catch the customer's eye as he entered also did more. This slanting show glass became a display in direct line of vision of a man walking up the street and past the entrance. And finally, these two sheets of glass extending outward from his door gave a direct invitation to enter, while his straight projecting extensions made his doorway seem small. Altogether in those few moments of observation the haberdasher learned many things, and he was not slow to profit by them. A few weeks later, he began to remodel his entrance along a line that would get customers into his store. He eliminated the center showcase between his two windows of display. The shape of his windows he changed so that the glass sides forming the alley to his door might branch outward lnvltingty. He did away with the one step to the flooring of his 3hop. by replacing it with an inclined plane. He worked to make everything about his entrance as inducing as possible. and from his record of increased sales since the alterations he has succeeded. How Big Business W^^Started. We print this newspaper story absolutely without comment: “E. S. Wells, who made a fortune j out of the preparation known as ’’Rough on Rats/ of which he was the originator, died on Sunday at his home at Glenmore, N. J. He was born in Morgantown, W. Va., seventy-two years ago. Within four years Mr. Wells rose from extreme poverty to a positon of affluence through his invention. When Mr. Wells and the man with whom he then worked had only a single loaf of bread between them and starvation their last bit of food was eaten by rats. Mr. Wells then set about to discover a means to rid the wdrld of rats. After numberless experiments he began the manufacture of ‘Rough on Rats’ in an old barn in Jersey City. The preparation was first peddled about in the locality, but Mr. Wells had bigger ideas. Every dollar he could spare was spent in advertising, and the business grew so rapidly that at the end of four years he had an income of SIOO,OOO a year. He preferred, however, to continue the business himself. In later years Mr. Wells became an enthusiastic horseman. His farm of 600 acres at Glenmoore contained a model stable. Among his horses w ere Baron Dillon and Red Lake. He bought Baron Dillon for $1,500, and within an hour refused an offer of $5,000.” Small, Smaller, Smallest.

BEST INVESTMENT IN WORLD Money Spent by Manufacturer or Merchant for Newspaper Publicity Brings Good Returns. The man who says “I wouldn't buy that car because its advertising increases the cost unnecessarily,” is making the mistake of his life. He is i overlooking an economic principle, ! tried and proved, that has more than | any other one agency to do with bring- [ ing within his reach a really highclass product at a reasonable price. He is as much mistaken as the farmer who would prefer hand-harvesting to the purchase of an automatic binder. Money spent in extensive and judicious advertising is the best investment in the world today for everyone concerned; for the manufacturer, the dealer and the purchaser of a motor car. The product that is not advertised will not sell readily, no matter how attractive are quality and price. The grocer or other dealer who has on his shelves goods that are not advertised will bear witness to the truth of this statement Wholesalers and manufacturers who do not use printers’ ink will attest to its truthfulness by the cost system figures for their sales department. Any salesman in the world will tell you that advertised goods can be, and are, sold at much less cost than those unknown except to a comparatively small coterie of users. Successful advertising is a sure Indication of quality, for without value of the product, no advertising could succeed. The manufacturer and everyone connected with the distribution would lose reputation and money, for the public will not long continue to be gulled. Advertising is no more an extravagance than is the use of good seed or good machinery by the farmer Extensive advertising is just as economical as quantity production in the motor car industry, for it brings larger and quicker returns of the investment, allowing for reinvestment in materials and consequent large production. It is an essential economic factor of the “eternal cycle” which has placed American-made automobiles first in every market of the w'orld.

YOU’VE WON when you have made your store’s advertising profitable to people living in this trading territory. And is it human nature to quit when you’ve won just one race or attained just one success? No. Then keep right on advertising.

DOCTORS DO NOT ADVERTISE But They Do Not Object to Free Publicity Regarding Professional Affairs. When the advertising man called upon Dr. Smith to solicit business for the paper which he represented he was told, rather loftily, that it was against “professional ethics” to advertise. But when the cub reporter stopped at the doctor's office two hours later for news items,„he received the following: Dr. H. Johnson Smith is moving his office from 1 Bradley block to 146 Main street, where he will have an entire suite of rooms. This change was imperative on account of his rapidly increasing practice. Mrs. Alice Jones of North Tenth street fell upon the pavement near her home this morning, sustaining a broken wrist. Dr. H. Johnson Smith reduced the fracture. Dr. H. Johnson Smith has returned from a professional visit to Snyderville. Wellesly West, the well-known manufacturer, who has been ill for several weeks, shows marked improvement today. His physician. Dr. H. Johnson Smith, believes he will soon be convalescent. Dr. H. Johnson Smith will address the members of the City Medical association this evening. Mrs. A. J. Peterson of Elm street underwent a delicate operation at the city hospital this morning. She is resting easily this afternoon, and according to her medical adviser, Dr. H. Johnson Smith, unless unforeseen complications develop, should be on the road to recovery soon. The operation was very successful. —Brooklyn Life. Our Hymns for Ads in Japan. Introduction of the English Bible and English religious hymns into Japan has brought ludicrous results, according to an article entitled “The Japanese Bible,” by Prof. Ernest W. Clement, instructor in Biblical literature at the University of Tokio, in a recent issue of the Biblical World. The Japanese merchants have secularized the sacred tunes to such an extent that it is a common sight to see a band of Japanese marching through the streets advertising tea, rice and dried fish to the tune of “Onward Christian Soldiers,” or “Nearer, My God to Thee.” To make a still more ludicrous contrast, the advertisers dress in grotesque costumes and perform acrobatic tricks to the tune of the hymn. Reaching the Home. The importance of this whole question of publicity to the consumer is growing on the manufacturer. He sees his competitor or some man in another line turning the trick of publicity and he sits up and thinks. He is gradually realizing that localized, crystallized publicity in the home Is what pays best and that he can only get that through the newspaper. At Least Something New.

VICE RUN BY TRUST

G. J. Kneeland Gives Secrets of White Slave Traffic. “Well Kept Man Decked With Gems” Is Typical Owner of Resorts in Gotham, Writer Asserts —Business Is Specialized. New York. —Commercialization of vice in New York, city is described in the first four studies of the social evil to be published by the New York bureau of social hygiene. The book, published by the Century company, is entitled “Commercialized Prostitution in New York City” and is written by George J. Kneeland, the chief Investigator of the bureau, who was also the chief of the workers under the Chicago vice commission. The report, which is introduced by a foreword by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., says 15,000 women of the underworld ply their trade in one borough of New York alone. It scores the low dance hall as a chief eause of vice. Poverty is given a secondary place as a cause. Mr. Kneeland holds that oftener women ate victims in their ignorance of the agents of commercialized vice. “It is idle,” he says, “to explain away the phenomena on the ground that they are the results of the inevitable weakness of human nature; human weakness would demand far fewer and less horrible sacrifies. “Most of the wreckage and the worse of it is due to persistent cunning and unprincipled exploitations; to the banding together in famous enterprises of madame, procurer, brothel keeper and liquor vender to carry on deliberately a cold blooded traffic for their joint profit, a traffic, but it added, from which the girl involved procures at the most, with few exceptions, her bare subsistence, and that only so long as she has a trade value,” “Prostitution has become a business,” Mr. Kneeland writes, “the promoters of which continually scan the field for a location favorable to their operations, and the field is the entire civilized world. No legitimate enterprise Is more shrewdly managed from this point of view; no variety of trade adjusts itself more promptly to conditions, transferring its activities from one place to another as opportunities contract here and expand there. “While keepers of houses are also procuers, there is a group of men who devote themselves singly to this work. These are the typical ‘white slavers,’ whose trade depends entirely upon the existence of houses of prostitution. The cadet has not yet developed into a professional prQCuer or keeper of a house. He enters the business when he either ruins a young girl for his future profit or becomes the lover and protector of a prostitute already in the business. “The women who run houses have, as a rule, risen from the ranks. They were once street walkers or parlor house inmates, who possess unusual business talents. They have learned the scerets of the trade; they know the kind of inmates to get and where to get them. They know how to deal with customers and how to make them spend money. "For several years thirty $1 houses of prostitution in the tenderloin have been operated as a ‘combine’ under the direct control of 15 or more men. The individuals in question have been in business for many years in New York city as well as in other cities, both in this country and abroad. They buy and sell shares in these houses among themselves, and it is seldom that an outsider, unless lie be a relative, can break into the circle and share in the profits. “The value of the shares depends upon the ability of the owners to maintain conditions in which the

HOUSE FOR “DOWN AND OUTS” Ground for a $50,000 Building Is Broken in Philadelphia for Unfortunates. Philadelphia, Pa. —Ground was broken here for a building to be erected for the “Inasmuch mission.” which was started by four converted "down and outs” several years ago to a section of the city known as "Hell’s Half Acre.” The building will be erected on the site where they started to care for their fellow outcasts in two small

houses, being unmolested, are permitted to make large profits. “If a composite photograph could be made of typical owners of vice resorts it would show a large, well fed man about 40 years of age and 5 feet 8 inches in height. His clothes are the latest cut, loud In design, and carefully pressed. A heavy watch chain adorns his waistcoat, a large diamond sparkles in flashy necktie, and his fat, chubby fingers are encircled with gold and diamond rings. BIG FLYING BOAT IS FAST McCormick’s Craft Covers More Than Mile a Minute in Hammondsport, N. Y., Trial. Hammonds port, N. Y.—Harold F. McCormick’s big flying boat, designed by Glenn H. Curtiss, was tried out here, and proved successful beyond Curtiss’ expectations. The new flying boat is large and heavy, as compared with previous machines of this type built in America. It has a spread of more than 40 feet and weighs, when loaded, considerably more than a ton. The power plant consists of a motor weighing more than 300 pounds and developing 106 horse power. It was expected that the boat would be seaworthy, but not particularly fast. The trials proved that it would make more than a mile a minute flying in the air and about 50 miles an hour when used as a motor boat in the water. Mr.-, Curtiss made the first trip, accompanied by L. A. Vilas of Chicago and another flying boat owner. Within a hundred yards from the starting point the boat rose from the water and sailed gracefully down the lake. It is said to be McCormick's intention to use the flying boat between his office in Chicago and his home at Lake Forest, 25 miles distant. The Memick boat was taken back to the factory for the final touches and will be ready for shipment'to Chicago within a short time.

FEWER ARE GOING ABROAD

Steamship Agents Blame Decrease of 30 Per Cent. Chiefly on the - Recent Floods. New York. —Up to May 8 the firstcabin passenger traffic between this port and Europe was-357 ahead of the same period in 1912 west-bound and 138 bookings ahead east-bound. The second-cabin passenger traffic showed an increase of 15,000 west-bound and 2,434 east-bonnd from Jan. 1 to May 8 over Inst year. Traffic east-bound from now on will be about 30 per cent, below last year, according to the steamship agents. This, they say, is chiefly due to the number of cancellations of bookings made in January and February by persons who were sufferers by the floods in the middle west and by the tornado in the Mississippi valley. Generally the year of the presidential election is a poor one for foreign travel, but 1912 was a very good year. Cancellations have been made fn the last few days not only on the older Atlantic liners, but also on the firstcabin bookings of the Imperator, Mauretania and Olympia. The Atlantic steamship companies look to the middle west and the west for the bulk of their summer tourist traffic, and the sudden falling off in the demand for cabin accommodation and the cancellations came as a surprise to them. A few of the more optimistic agents hope that there will be a boom In the European tourist traffic later on, but it will have to come soon to have any effect on the trade. Conducted party travel Is also light, according to the various tourist agents, and there is not much hope of it picking up this year. The biggest party this summer will be the 1,000

houses on one of the most notorious streets in the city. Bishop Rhinelander made the consecration prayer. The new building, made, possible by a gift’ of $50,000, is to be a four-story structure of brick and concrete. A chapel seating 350 persons will take up part of the ground floor. Baths, a lounging room and a lunchroom will be provided. The dormitory will occupy the fourth floor, where will be found lockere, baths and cots to accommodate 150 men. Meals will be provided at cost.

FIND HISTORIC GRAVE Flood at Battle Ground, Ind., Washes out Skeletons. Jesuit Missionary and Indians Believed to Have Been Buried There in Seventeenth Century—Silver Cross Is on Bones. Battle Ground, Ind. —Guy Fisher, a farmer boy living near Battle Ground, Ind., stumbled on to a strange find a few days ago near the, mouth of the Tippecanoe river that may be of considerable historic Interest. Many small mounds of earth are to be seenj In the neighborhood which is named for the battle of Tippecanoe between) Gen. Harrison and Tecumseh’s warriors. Some of t hese have been opened from time to time, and relics of the red men have been found In them, but the latest Is considered one of the most important yet unearthed in that district. Recent high water from the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers and Wild Cat creek inundated the entire countryside. Young Fisher was going over the territory contiguous to the joining of the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers after the water had receded and found one of the larger of the mounds washed out. Uncovered by the waters but undisturbed were’ five skeletons. The center one of the quintet was larger than the others, and upon it rested a heavy cross, known to antiquarians as the “Jesuit double cross.” The young man, after making these discoveries, dug lower into the spot and found a stone pipe, several handfuls of arrow and spear heads of stone, a curious copper ornament, twd metal buttons and several other small stone articles, both Implements of peace and war. It Is supposed by some that the larger of the five men —for all the skeletons have been determined as those of males—was a Jesuit missionary, while the others are supposed to have been Indians. History tells of the burial of De La Salle, the French explorer who was In the Northwest territory In the year 1680, In the Mississippi river, after he had been disappointed In hiss venture of the Griffin, which he dispatched from the head of Lake Huron. The boat never returned from its voyage to Niagara and the Frenchman started on the Hong trip of 1,500 miles to Canada, first going down the Mississippi for supplies in two canoes with an Indian hunter and four French' companions. It Is supposed that the skeletons found are those of men who either were in De La Salle’s party or who met the Jesuit missionary, Marquette, who later went through the section. It is known that Marquette was through that part of the country and some students are of the opinion that the skelentos are those of four followers of the Marquette party and one of the Jesuit’s group of missionaries. Some have asserted the larger bod? is that of an Indian and not a white man, that he was the chief of a tribe and had been converted to the Christian religion by the Marquette party. The position ol! the body and Its condition seem to indicate this, according to those holding the latter view of the case. Red Hens Lay Enormous Eggs.

MAY GROW “RAINLESS WHEAT” Dr. Macdonald, South African Expert, Claims to Have Made the New Discpvery. London. —Dr. Macdonald of the South African department of agriculture declares that it is now possible to grow a "rainless wheat”—that is to say, a crop upon which no single drop of rain Fas fallen between seed time and harvest. It does not maintain its existence without moisture, but all that is necessary is obtained from the deposit of a previous season in “moisture saving fallows.” This would mean a great boon for those areas where the rainfall is uncertain and irrigation, for various re* sons, impossible.

SOUTHERNER HAD NO STATE Officer Was Born In Territory, Fathter In District of Columbia and Grandfather at Sea. Just before the Civil war, when the mutterings of secession were heard throughout the south, a number of West Point officers came together at & military station, among them one of whom we will call Captain II , and who afterward served with distinction in the Union army. The southern officers, one by one, declared their intention of “going out,” as it was then familiarly called; that Is, of reigning their federal commissions to throw in their lot with their several states. H——, in relating the incident that “follows, said that great pressure was brought to bear upon him to join them. “Why, don’t you go with us. Captain H ?” said one of his acquaintances. “Why should I go with you?” said H . who had a certain southern swarthiness of feature and softness of speech. “Aren't you going to go with your state?" “Why, I haven’t any state.” he replied; “I was born In a territory.” “Oh, thunder!” said another. “Why don’t you go with your father’s state, then?” “Can’t,” protested H : “he hadn’t any state; he was born in the District of Columbia.” “Oh, hang It!” broke in a third; “if that’s the case, why don’t you go with your grandfather’s state?” “Just as difficult,” said H ; “my grandfather hadn’t any state; he was born at sea.” And then he added: “Oh, no, boys, it’s easy enough for you fellows to go with your states, or”—fixing his eyes significantly on one of the party—“with your wife’s state:, but as for me, I intend to stand by the old flag.”—FYom the Century. HEAD PIERCED BY A BULLET Though Thought to Be Mortally Wounded Jaimes Buggle of Chicago Lives to Tell of War. James Baggie, who is the assistant custodian at Chicago headquarters ol the Grand Army, stopped three Confederate bullets before he had reached the age of sixteen. The last one nearly brought about the close of his young career. “I enlisted in November, 1862,” he said, “and I was not fifteen years until December 22. I w r as under fire less than a month after I had been mustered Into the service. My regiment, the Sixty-fourth Illinois, was at Decatur, Ala., in March and April, and then went into the Atlanta campaign. I w'as w’ounded first at Reseca, again at Kenesaw mountain and again at Atlanta. A ball struck me in the forehead, went through my head, blinding one eye and injuring the other, and came out behind the right ear. It broke both jawbones too. “The battle of Kenesaw mountain was the hardest I was in. Our company went Into it with thirty-six men and came out with five, and they were all wounded. We had to -climb a steep slope. In that battle General McPherson was shot by some men In ambush. We cqught them and took from the knapsack of one of themrfhe field glasses and private papers he had taken from the general’s body.” The Limit. An Irishman at a magazine explosion was picked up unconscious. The doctor decided he had no bones broken and had only been knocked senseless. As he came to his senses the doctor was holding a glass of water to his lips. “Phat happened?” he asked. “The magazine exploded, and you had a very narrow escape, and I’m giving you this water to revive you," replied the doctor. “Givin’ me wather after bein’ Mowed up?” said Pat in disgust. “In Hivln’s name what would have to hap pen ter git er drink of whusky?" “Mustered In” With Real Mustard. The boys of the 117th N. Y. tell of a real “mustering’' in of a darky attached to that regiment, who became fearful he would be deprived of his pay unless he joined the service. A huge mustard plaster was applied to his back, and under the helief that all soldiers were thus “mustered”, in ;he wore it until it began to . get pretty hot. Then they took it off and he was formally declared “mustered in," according to the law. If that darky didn’t get his wages It was not because he was not “mustered” in good and plenty. Grim Humor. Even on the field of battle the soldied is humorous, grimly so. A soldier was seen in the trenches holding his hands above the earthworks. His captain asked: “What are you doing that for?” He replied with a grim, as ha worked his fingers: “I’m feeling for a furlough (just then a rifle ball struck him in the wrist, and a queer commingling of pain and humor passed over his face), an’ I get a discharge.” A Puzzle. “My wife puzzled me this morning when she called after me to buy her a new boa.” “Why don't you Just gos in this fur store and buy her a nice on*?” 4 “That’s the puzzle; I don’t know whether Bhe wants a fur one." “What other kind could she want?” “Well, you see my wife’s a snake c&armer.” Spirit of the Times"lf at first you don’t succeed—^ “There’s Reno.”

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA BUBINESS PROSPERING, TRADE INCREASING AND FINANCES IN GOOD SHAPE. The present tightening|Up of money must not be looked upon as being in ' any sense brought about by financial stringency. It is really more a period of stock-taking resorted to by the .banks to ascertain the true condition of the finances and trade of the coun« try. Legitimate busmen enterprises are not affected. Throughout the States there are those who if allowed to continue borrowing, would inevitably be a means towards precipitating something a good deal worse than they feel now. In Canada, the conditions are excellent, and it is safe to say business was never better. The pulse of trade is carefully watched by the Finance Department of the Dominion government, and it is illuminative to read portions of the address of Hon. W. T. White, the Finance Minister, delivered a few days ago before the House of Commons. , Mr. White’s remarks are in part as follows: “It falls agreeably to my lot to extend my most hearty congratulations • to the House and the country upon the prosperous conditions which it continues to be our good fortune to enjoy. lam happy to announce .that the outcome of the last fiscal year, which ended on March 31, will prove even more satisfactory as reflecting by far the highest pitch to which our national prosperity has yet attained. I have every expectation that when the books are closed, it will be found that the total revenue will have reached the splendid total of $168,250,000, or an increase over the year 1911-12 of over $32,000,000. Some indication of the magnificent growth of the Dominion may be gleaned from tbe fact that this increase in revenue during the period of one year almost equals the entire revenue of the country seventy years ago. “The augmentation of revenue to which I have referred has not been irregular, spasmodic or intermittent in its nature, but has steadily characterized each month of the entire fiscal year. It was of course mainly derived from Customs receipts, but the other sources of revenue—excise, post office * and railways—also gave us very substantial increases.” “That in a period of great financial stringency not only have we not been obliged to resort to tbe congested markets of the world, but have been able to reduce so substantially ($23,000,000) the debt of the Dominion, must be a matter of gratification, both to the House and to the people Os Canada. "I believe that during this period of exceptional money stringency the credit of the Dominion as reflected in tne quotations of its securities has maintained itself among the highest lu the world.” Owing to the favorable state of its finances Canada was in a position to pay off a heavy loan in cash without recourse to the issue of bills or securities. —Advertisement.
