How Are You Fixed for Insurance? Fire and Marine. THE ART Of ADVERTISING JJovelty is the Key to Success Be Origin! and Your fortune Is (Dade. OES advertising pay? You are often puzzle over this problem. Some. times you think It does, and then again you are not certain. D' There are days when an attractive ad vertisement Just "parks" your store with trade, and Inquiries come dribbling in for a month afterward for articles advertised that day. Hut some days the advertisement seems to full flat. It is on these days that your faith grows shaky, and If you do not doubt the util ity of advertising you blame the card. If you write your own advertisements ud lose confidence in yourwelf, you had better employ some one who makes ad vertising his special business. To write an initial advertisement, every day In the year, on the same never-changing theme, is very much like taking ton yards of dress goods and making a new and entirely different dress of it 3UU times in succession. It takes a. clever head to do either. He must see the store side of the advertise ment and the customers' siJe of it, the one as clearly as the other. Unwise ad vertising can pull dovvn trade and ex haust your finances mure rapidly than good advertising can build up the one or add to the other. A small advertisement can be mad very attractive In The Astorlan. Hers are samples of small advertisements, showing different ways of dlsplaylrg them with the plainest of plain type: Blank & Co.

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 pour, we have al ways with us. If an advertiser, does not possess business wiu 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 andset up atrociously, which nevertheless are great advertisements great In their l)wer of attracting people. They were full of business, even though they lack "style." The kind of advertisements which would prove a success for one store might not. do at all for another, even though in the same line of business, and perhaps located right next door The capacity for kn..v. ing his nudience muni, ut: iiiiuue in me writer; so mus: the business sense. A little study will enable you to evolve many other attractive ways of setting up your ads. in The Astorlan type. There is hardly any limit to tlio combinations possible. Large type eat!.i space, but you are not obliged to use It in order t" r- ? showy ud. in Th-J Astorlan. Still we would advise you, i 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 nd. might be lost U view entirely when printed ulongslde ol fancy type neighbors. There the con trast Is against you, but on the page with other ads. printed ii 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 cases of emergency hl3 art and wit may do wonders. Observe the unique use which a Yankee advertiser makes of the classics. This man had dog col lars, name-plutes and rubber stamps to sell. It wa.s a most unpromlslug theme for what can one say of dog collars? Here are some of the things he said: 4, 1893), and In spite of opposition, the day was a great success. August 18 we gave an open air concert, by the Fourteenth infantry band, of Vancou ver, followed next day by an excursion to Gearhart Park, an undertaking that looked formidable at first, but which , proved ona of the greatest successes ever achieved by any organisation In Astoria.
