THOUGHTS ON ADVERTISING. Expressing the Opinions of Successful Business Men. Why are your goods the best? your advertisement should give the rea sons. Mining Reporter, Denver. Advertising must have some force, some enthusiasm in it. It must have straight facts about the business. It must tell in one way or another why it will be to the advantage of the pros pective customer to trade at this place. Trade Register. Make your ads individualities; give them a personality that will be recog nized; put something intp them that will draw attention to them every time. That is the way to write el' fective ads. Use short words and short sentences; avoid entangling clauses and phrases. Be brief, be bright, be wise, be truthful and use prfces first, last and all the time. Then choose your media wisely. Brookllne (Mass.) Chronicle. Every day's advertising adds to the advertiser's knowledge. Every day he should know a little more about it by correcting errors, by improving here and ther , by talcing advantage of opportunities and conditions as they come up, he puts himeelf in post tion to get results. Sacramento (Cal.) Bee. The future of a business that has been established and built up by ad vertising depends on the judicious continuance of the advertising. Just because a man has made a success, made his name and goods famous from Maine to California, he should not try to economize on his advertis ing appropriation or discontinue it al together, believing that thereafter the article will command a trade without the use of printer's ink. It has been tried time and time again and doesn't work that way. The Advertising Man. Robert H. Ingersoll, of New York, sold over 1,000,000 watches of one style last year. He was born and raised in Michigan. Farming was not to his liking and he started for New York to make his way in the world, He commenced canvassing offices as a rubber stamp agent; later he had a small stamp works; soon he added novelties, and from this small begin' ning he has increased until his firm, R. H. Ingersoll & Bro., have a won derful trade. They have a factory emplyoing nearly 500 people. From the first they have been persistent ad vertisers. 'Hustler.

During the early weeks of the growing season there was a lack of moisture, and we feared the re sults upon the output of wheat. La ter rains have 'come, and they have so brightened the prospects that there is expectation of a good crop "In Umatilla county, where, ap proximately 5,000,000 bushels ' are raised, only about Ifo.OOO bushels re main unsold. Hence there is no activity in the local markets at Pen dleton. There will be none until the new crop has been harvested and i3 ready for selling. "As to general conditions in our part of the state, every town is growing; building proceeds up to the limit of the ability of the dealers to supply materials and the contrac tors to secure workmen. The in land empire is on the upgrade, with latent resources being developed rapidly. There is a great future for that region, and that future is Just now In sight, with its fine growth and steady evolution of more de sirable conditions." WETHErt FOR PAST WEEK.
