DO THE ADS, PAY YOU?
This is a Matter the City Mer
chants Should Find Out.
Two years ago, in a little oity ' in
New York, the Courier editor had a
little discufsion with the manager
of a big department store on adver
tising. He said it did not pay six per cent
interest on the mouey invested.
I asked him why, and he said be
cause people did not read it.
I made him a proposition to run for
him without charge a six inch ad,
hidden by legal notices, in the most
unnoticed corner of the paper, offer
ing a free gift for the first teu people
who came into the store after a fixed
hour on a certain date. He refused
the offer.
I offered to run a free ad of one
inch at the end of the last column on
the legal page, stating it was rumored
the store would soon go out ot busi
ness, lie refused the offer.
This manager knew that advertising
was read, but would not admit that
HIS advertising did not attract. The
fault was his, not the paper s
If I were a merohant I would take
a certain space, big or little, I would
have it in a certain position in the
paper, I would have it there every
week, I would adopt a oertain style
of composition, I would make it dif
ferent in style and wording, I would
chauge it every week, and I would
put in it something to attraot if I had
to start it off with a story of a dog
fight, and I wonld stay with those
weekly talks until I convinced the
publio I was ou thelsquare with them.
Then when I advertised prices and
values the people would not only read
them but BELIEVE them.
And that's the weak spot in adver
tising laok ot confidence.
And that is the dealer's sore spot
not the newspaper's
