(Extract from circular Issued by
the National Cash Register Co., to
their patrons.)
The newspaper is the old reliable
advertising medium. Use It for all
you arc worth.
Suppose a newspaper goes to only
fifteen hundred subscribers. Perhaps
one thousand are within reach of
your store. One thousand subscrib-
ers means three thousand readers
and possible customers. You can
reach these fifty-two times each year.
Change your copy at least once ev-
ery week. Make your advertise-
ments news. Stale ads* stale goods.
Make a leader of a regular brand.
Fill up your window and use cards
with timely saying upon holiday oc-
casions. Use the same sentiments
In your newspaper space. Take ad-
vantage of the Christmas holidays,
St. Valentine's Day, Easter, Fourth
of July, xake advantage of the
birthdays. Washington's, Lincoln's
and Jefferson. People always grasp
at timely Information put Into an
ad.
In newspaper advertising and other
advertising "don't get gay." A poor
joke printed is a boomerang. A
good joke diverts attention from the
business part of your ad. The same
Is true of poetry. Some apply poe-
try successfully to their ads., but the
cases are very few. Talk In your
•d as you would talk over your coun-
ter. That Is the best kind of adver-
tising.
Put prices on your goods. People
like to go into a store and say:
"Give me that article," and shove
the money at you without having to
aak you how much. Prices In your
advertisement enable one to start
from home for your store confident
In her ability to buy. Because you
quote prices you need not cut prices,
A man who fears to let his competi-
tors know what his prices are will
never be a successful advertiser.
If your advertisement says your
store is the best place to trade, prove
it. To do so you must resort to
both figures and facts. Don't ad-
vertise that you keep a store but tell
what you have for sale, and Its good
qualities.
Use original Ideas. Do not copy
your neighbor's scheme or methods.
8trlve for an Individuality of your
own. It is the way in which you
present other people's Ideas that
gives your advertising originality.
Remember, It is the advertising
you do the pays, no) that which you
you do that, pays, not that which you
Did you get your Valentine?
The wise cotton planter this year
will doubtless prove to be the one
who plants a decreased acreage.
