USE OF NEWSPAPERS GOOD
WAY TO ATTRACT BUYERS
Dtscuaaing tha handling of subdivis
ions, befora the BeeJ Xitate association
5f Buffalo A. L. Kingsley of Chicago,
an aspen In that line, spoke in part as
follows:
"Tha subdivision man must have
quick seller. Above all things, tranapor
- tation Is of paramount importance. The
workers of today demand transportation
and tha dealer who neglects thla feature
. may spoil otherwise well laid plans.
Cars should be taken to have property
look Its beat at tha tlma of a sale. I
believe 76 per cent of buyers are mar
ried men, and most of them are ac
companied by their wives when a sale
la made. Neatness appeals to women,
and with a neat property a sals la
easier.
"A property being ready to market
.the vital point comes offering it to the
public. I am a firm believer In newa
1 papers In their power to sell an article,
providing the article has merit. I also
believe in circulars. Both have good
points.
I should not use circulars, but should
uae the newspapers exclusively, send
ing out a handsome booklet to en
qulrera. "In newspaper advertising I am a
firm believer in the persistent use of
medium-sized space rather than Infre
quent and large ada. In blocking out
the advertisement the atory should be
told in a few words, a mere outline, the
idea being that it la difficult to get a
good display 'ad' with too much read
ing matter. The purpose Is to catch
the eye of the . reader and enlist nis
Interest He probably will visit the
property. It is then the work of the
salesman comes Into action.
"I alwaya avoid exaggeration In
advertising. It reacts when a pros
pective buyer visits the property. For
the same reason newspaper advertising
la better than personal solicitation. A
solicitor may exaggerate unintention
ally. In advertising you can control
your statements, while, of course,
most of the advertising is in the dls-

In particular, he designed and pat

capacity of from 700 to 1,000 barrels of
cement. Until that lime, tne largest
kilns In use were 60 to 80 feet long,
6 to 6 feet In diameter, with a capacity
of but ZOO barrels a day. Edison's long
kiln was universally ridiculed by the
older cement manufacturers, however
But Its success soon proved their criti
cism to be unwarranted and ridicule
was transformed Into emulation of Edi

first act was to reward his friends,
Monaluur and Madams d'Aunay. for
their warm friendship. Hs appointed
the count to tha. embassy at Berue, -
But life at Berne is , horribly dull.
There la absolutely nothing to do but to

In tha pit out tliere In a- melancholy

Every afternoon the band plays and

All this happens at the famous ice

aristocratic quarter of Paris. And what

of pretty American girls always to be
found there. It waa In honor of one of
these pretty Americana that the akatlng
club of the Ice palace waa organised.
That waa when the young Count
Louis de Gontaut waa paying his court
to Miss Lelshman. who afterward be
came his wife. She was so fond of

It Is all as pretty and Innocent aa a

best cure for the disease.
"Fresh air, good food, eggs, milk,
cleanliness and cheerfulness are the !
