Mf i nTr'ti o.i...,.iiui,i iwiv? Yoti are title: U puzzle over tills problem. Home times you think It does, and then again you are not certain. There are days when an attractive ad vertisement Just "packs" your store with trade, and Inquiries come diibblin in for a month afterward for articles advertised that day. Rut some day: the advertisement seems to fall flat Is on these days that your faith grow: shaky, and If you do not doubt the utll ity of advertising you blame the card, If you write your own advertisements and lose confidence In yourself, you had better employ some one who makes ad vertlslng his special business. To write un original advertisement every day In the year, on the same never-ehanginir theme. Is very much like taking ten yards of dress goods und making a new and entirely different dress of it 300 times In succession. It takes a clever head to do either. He must see the Btore side of the advertise ment and the customers' BlJe of it, the one as clearly as the other. Unwise ad vertlslng can pull down trade and ex haust your finances more rapidly than good advertising can build up the one or add to the other. Think of a house which, in the "busy ason," when everybody is buying cost )y outer garments, wasting its advertis. Ing space on three cent and live cent notions, often not mentioning their val uable stock once in a whole week. It is like a sportsman who wastes his am munition on sparrows when ducks are flying overhead. The harvest time for expensive merchandise Is at best but a short month or two. The cheap, little profit stuff, like the poor, we have al ways with us. If an advertiser does not possess business wlU along with literary ability, he will never make a success of his calling. We often see advertise ments without the slightest literary merit, written in faulty English and set up atrociously, which nevertheless are great advertisements great In their power of attracting people. They were full of business, even though they lack "style." The kind of advertisements which would prove a success for one stoic might not do nt all for another, even though In the same line of business and perhaps located right next door. The capacity for knowing his audience must be innate In the writer; so must the business sense. Remember there are other stores, just as good as yours, who sell at equally low prices. Your only advantage and it is yours if you take It is to have better advertising than they. This does not necessarily mean larger advertising or more costly, for it is not the size of the space that tells, but what is said and how It is said that attracts notice and excites surloslty. If you cannot spend $1,000 a week in advertising, spend $500. It you eannol RnPtlH Bit rtlllflh Clu.n1 H.lA i .. fiw, arm u your business will not allow more than $10 to hn cn lnc.at.ul .1 .... w ojjtruu mat. uo not say- there is no advertising except In large way. One might as" well say that five-cent package of seeds from the florist will n.,t. cm.,.. na " " xru as uie same seed bought in bushel quantities. liav good seed and plant it in good soil. n other words, write a good advertise ment and put it in a good paper.

A little study will enable you to evolve many other attractive ways of setting up your ads. in The Astorlan type. There la hardly any limit to the combinations possible. Large type eats space, but you are not obliged to use it in order to iv-V? n showy ad. in The Astorlan. -Still we would advise you, If using the plain type, to have your ad. on those pages of The Astorlan where all advers. are so set up, as then your small ad. has an equal chance of being seen. A plain ad. might he lost to view entirely when printed alongside of fancy type neighbors. There the con trast is against you, but on the page with other ads. printed In the same type as yours the advantage of the most attractive setting is yours if you but choose to have It so. The advertiser who has his eyes and wits about him has his finger on the public pulse and knows Its beat. In oases of emergency his art and wit may do wonders. Observe the unique use which a Yankee advertiser makes it the classics. This man had doe col- rs, name-plates and rubber stamps to sell. It was a most unpromising theme -for what can one say of dog collars? Here are some of the things he said: IT IS SELDOM N THIS cultured city that we see aims n the windows announcing that "Here we speak French." or "Here we snealt German," &c. These signs are common from New York to San Francisco. In Boston, owing to the culture, it is taken for granted, without the signs. We do engraving in any language, especially on Dog Collars; also Door Plates and images. Medals, Stencils, Steel and Rub ber Stamps, Corporation Seals, Bangles, Brands, Ribbon Badges. &c. JOHN SMITH, 2000 Blank street. IT IS NOT TO BE supposed that the Mahomme- dans look with favor upon the possibill- iy or tne rise of a Christian power to the south of Turkey and Egypt, and if this shop did not lit out an expedition "or the relief of Stanley, It was solely r t.ne reason that we were so crowded un orders for Door Plates that we had no time to attend to the necessary de tails. This we say In self-defense, as the rumor has crone abroad that we were favorable to the Mahommedans. Also Badges, Medals, Stencils, Steel and Rubber Stamps, Corporation Seals, Dog Collars, &c. JOHN SMITH. 20000 Blank street. Thla he said every day, each time using another incident of past or cur rent history", or quoting a different au thor of ancient or modern times. Al ways winding up with some absurd or comical allusion to the universal and crying need for dog collars, name plates. etc., and apparently proving the impos sibility of being happy In this world without them. Who with a canine could resist these appeals? Who with a front door would let It go bare; who, indeed, would write his na.mewith pen when a rubber stamp could be had with which to do it Novelty Is. the great charm of advertising - Originality . is what the world sighs for. Re o-iginal and your fortune is made.
