The reason for this is be Has never planned an advertising cam paign or advertised to help himself, but more to help the publication in wnich his ads have appeared. Mr. Merchant for an illustration, suppose you sell $10,00,0 worth of merchandise in a year at -10 per cent profit. You will take in $14,000 and your gross cash profit will bo $-1000. Out of this amount you deduct $11000 for clerk's hire, rent, etc., leaving you a net profit of $1000, or ,iust ten per cent on the original investment. Now then you decide to spend two per cent of your net profit the next; year for advertising. But the questi on arises: "Why should 1 do that and only leave eight per cent profit?" Hut Dll. ELIOT SEES MUCH GOOD TO COME AS RESULT OP EUROPEAN WAR NEW YORK, Dec. 29. Hopo that tho grent war In Europe might yet work out (or tho good of mnnklnd was expressed by Dr. Charles' W. 121 lot, president-emeritus of Harvard university. In an address boforo tho New Knglnml Society at Its 109th annual dinner. "Tho American peoplo hcllove, as tho Pilgrim church believed, that truth nnd right aro constantly toJio known to man," said Dr. Eliot, "and that It Is truth that makes men freo more truth, scientific, philosoph ical or religious, tuoro freedom for mnnklnd. "If this truth enn now bo 1m-. planted In tho Intornntlonnl mind of Kuropo ns tho moral Issue ot tho present must fearful catastrophe tho hugo sorrow and desolation ot most of that continent nvny yet bo turned Into gladness and hope." advertising WAR MAY SOON SPREAD Will Increase Your Sales lERCHANT'S CAFE Popular place for uuuu mcaio.

As business men express it, advertising causes a more vapid turn over of capital. By spending 50 cents a day for advertising "Men's Guaran teed Holeproof Socks at $1.50 per one-half dozen pairs," on which 50 cents was made, a merchant was enabled to increase his sales on these socks to three more half dozen a day. Or by investing 50 cents for advertising, he made a profit of $1.00. Mr. Merchant, how does the reading public know that you are selling Men's Holeproof Socks, or that you have a largo consignment of merchandise which you will sell cheap in order to get vid of instead of car vying them over another year? A desire for the goods is ereited by painting a word picture of the articles, and peoplo coining to your store to buy a cer tain article which you advertised will usually buy other things if you have what they need in stock. If you can't write an ad, we will write ono for you. COOS BAY TIMES Phone 103. nnd Indications That Houiunnln Greece About to Muter LONDON, Dec. 29.
