for the eyes of yourself and family.

THE HEN AND THE DOOR-
KNOB.
By Herbert Kaufman
-
Once upon a time there was a fool
hen who sat on a china doorknob for
threo weeks expecting to get a fam
ily. Tho only thing sho did get was
experience.
Tho advertising field Is full of
"china doorknob propositions". ex
amples of merchants who expect
good newspapers to hatch money out
of bad egg business, or who put
sound nest eggs under the wrong
"advertising hen."
There are threo principles to fol
low in an advertising campaign:
First of all, find a business that will
stand advertising; secondly, And tho
newspaper that will make tho adver
tising pay; thirdly, give tho nows
paper time to pay.
You can't start in to breed dollars
in less time than It takes to hatch
them any moro than you can pull
a hen off the nest before sho has
had a chance to Incubate. In both
cases you simply waste what has
been invested. If you stop too soon
you will get a rotten egg Instead of
a chicken.
Advertise somothlng out of which
you may reasonably expect returns,
and when you have found what to
advertise, tako caro that you placo
your copy in a newspaper that can
turn tho trick. Don't delude your
self with a china doorknob, and don't
confuse a "rooster nowspaper,"
which spends its tlmo cock-a-lorum-Ing,
for a "bon newspaper'.' that is
too busy hatching out dollars to strut
about crowing.
