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:

Think of a house which, in the "busy
season," when everybody Is buying cost
ly outer garments, wasting its advertis
ing space on three cent and five cent
notions, often nut 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 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,

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

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?
