Cove, Ore., June 28. (Special)
Harold Van Vlack, one of our Cove
boys while in Portland, enlisted in the
United States Marine Corps and has
been transferred to the Marine Bar
racks at Mare Island, Cal., where he
will remain under instruction about
three months and will then be trans
ferred for duty elsewhere. Accord

mother from the Maior General Com

How Much Can You
Earn As An
Ad-Writer?
Perhaps it has not occurred to you that you might be able to
EARN MONEY AS A WRITER.
You have not classed yourself as a confrere of Kipling, or of
Irvin Cobb. You have read of the high prices commanded by ,
some of these top-notch writers for their work but it has never
dawned upon you that there are other forms of WRITING which
yield great rewards, often greater than those won. by popular
authors.
Yet this is true. Among your own acquaintances there are,
doubtless, men and women who have earned very high rewards
for good writing. We refer to people who write SUCCESSFUL
ADVERTISEMENTS.
A man has some real estate to sell. Ho may need to make
a quick sale, and is willing to sacrifice something of the value of
the property for the sake of the quickly realizing some cash.
That property may be worth a great deal more to one buyer than
to another. His problem is to find the man to whom it is worth
most. He writes a classified ad. If he strikes the right note,
gets his selling argument "over," he enlists the interest of the
right man in his offering.makes the sale at a fair price and in
curs no great sacrifice of money. The ad costs a few dollars,
perhaps and earns for him hundreds.
The same thing happens with advertisers in other lines of
the classified. To be able to write a message or an offer clearly,
forcibly, convincingly that is to ibe able to command a very
great reward AS A WRITER.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN AS AN AD WRITER?
Why not test the matter in connection with something you have
to sell, or with something you want?
It Is An Old Story
But Never the Less It Is Trua
WE SELL FOR LESS
That is what crowds of people remark daily
MY HOW CHEAP!

Oakland To Have
Advertising School
Oakland, Cal., June 26 (Special)
"The reason that storekeepers who
pose as business men claim that it
docs not pay them to advertise is be
cause they don't know how to adver
tise." Thus spoke Walter W. Cribbins,
President of the Pacific Coast Adver
tising Men's Association, this morn
ing, in speaking of the plans for the
annual convention to be held in Oak
land, July 22, 23, 24 and 25. Continu
ing, he su'd:
"Any man can buy advertising
space in a newspaper or on a hitch
ing post, but it takes real, honest-to-goodness
brains to fill the space, if a
man wants customers to patronize his
store.
"Too many storekeepers have the
wrong idea of advertising; they be
lieve that because they had an ordi
, nary business card copied in a news
, paper once, and people did not fall all
over themselves to buy their goods,
that advertising is an absolute waste
. of money.
To successfully advertise a store a
merchant must study Wuathcr condi
tions, the effect of current news is
having on the minds of those people
he would like to sell his goods to, etc.
Advertising does not mean printer's
ink alone. It means courtesy to the
customer. The successful business
man does not advertise rain coats
wnen mere is no prospect of rain.
Neither does ho make cigars or an
old pipe and blow the smoke in his
, customer's face. Nor does he allow a
saleslady to chew gum and at the same
i time try to wait upon a customer.
Only a genius can chew gum and at
the same time sell goods; and genius.
es don't work in stores. New cus
tomers are hard to get, and old ones
are not easy to hold. Advertising is a
business, not a game, and it requires
the real, serious study of all the cle
ments of a business to advertise intel
ligently. For instance, there is no use
of a merchant advertising if he does
l not tell the truth about his merchan
; disc He can fool a customer once.
I But the customer will never believe
; any advertisement the merchant pub-
! lishes at a later date. It is also folly,
too, to spend money for newspaper ad
vertising and permit the clerks to
drive the customers away by being dis
courteous.
"This year we are going to make
' the annual convention a business
! man's school, and business men from
j all the Western States are invited to
attend the sessions and learn how to
successfully advertise their business.
how to increase their profits, and how
. to avoid the little thihgs that spell
' disaster."
