THE ART OF ADVERTISING flovelty is the Key to Saeeess Be Original and Yoop pontine Is (Dade. DOES advertising pay? You are often puzzle over this problem. Some times you think It does, nnd then again you are not rertuin. There are days when un attractive ud vertlsernent just "packs" 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 Hat. It is on these days that your faith grows shaky, nnd If you do not doubt the util lly 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 vertising his special business. To write an original advertisement, every day In the year, on the same never-changing theme, is very much like taking ten yards of dress goods and 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 store side of the advertise ment and the customers' si le of it, the one as clearly as the other. Unwise ad vertising can pull down trade and ex haust your finances more 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. Here are samples of small advertisements, showing different ways of dlsplayiij them with the plainest of plain type: A HOUSEHOLD TUEASUUU D. W. Fuller, of CnnnJohniie. N.

Mas 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 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 docs iml possess business wlts along with literary ability, he will never make a success of his calling. We often see advertise ments without the slightest llterarv merit, written in faulty English and set up atrociously, which nevertheless are great advertisements great in iheh power of attracting people. They were full of business, even though they lack "style." rue kind of advertisements which wouiu prove a success for one store might not do at all for another, even though In the same line nf business. and perhaps located right nevt il,,,,.- 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 ueuer 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 attrac ts notice and excites surinsltv.

Do not say there is no advertising except In a large way. One might a3 well say that a five-cent package of seeds from the florist will not, grow as well as the sumo seed bought in bushel .quantities. Have good seed ami plant it In good soil. In other words, write a good ndvi ment and put It In a good rapt,r Ten dollars In The Astorlan will pay fr m lines of display advertising, nonpareil measurement. One can do more with 100 lines In The Astorlan than with !00 ' linen tn m.-ittt nthc .nn . "pi-, oecause a line In The Astorlan means generally a ' line of type, whereas those paner ' which are printed In larger types, a line of advertising display type will take up two to ten lines of space nr even mnre A little study will enable you to evolve many other attractive ways of setting up your ads. ln The Astorlan type. There Is hardly any limit to the combinations possible. Large type eatlt space, but you are not obliged to use It in order to mnl-p a showy ad. ln Tli4 Astorian. t,t:;; -v,o would advise vou. 11 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 n. A plain ad. might be lost tc. view entirely when printed alongside ol fancy type neighbors. There the con trast is against you, but on the page with other ads. printed in the s.ime 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 linger on the public pulse and knows Its beat. In cases of emergency his 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-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 IN THIS cultured city that we see signs in the windows announcing that "Here we speak l.'rench," or "Here we speak Herman," &c. These signs are common from New York to San Francisco. In lioston, owing to the culture, it Is taken for graTited, without the slmis. xv dr. engraving in any language,, especially on Dog Collars; also Door plates and Madges, Medals, Stencils, Steel anl Rub. bei- Sumps, Corporation Reals. Itansjcs fhands, Ribbon Radges. &o. .Icinv SMITH, 2000 Wank street, IT IS HOT TO RE supposed that the Mahomme dans look with favor upon the possibili ty of the rise of a Christian power to the south of Turkey and Egypt, and if this shop did not lit out on expedition for the relief of Stanley, It was solely for the reason that we were so crowded with orders for Door Plates that we Karl no time to attend to the necessary- (to talis. This we say in "self-defense, as the rumor has gone abroad that we were favorable to the Mahommedans. Also Bacigos, Medals. St,?ncl!s. Steel "n4 Rubber SrnmOR fnrt-.nrarlnu flualu Collars, &. JOHN SMITH, 20000 Rlank street. This 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 nnl crying peed for dog collars, name plates, etc., and apparently proving the Impos sibility of being happy In this world without them. Who with a canine j could resist these appeals? Who with a front door would let It go bare; who, indeed, would write his name with pen when a rubber stamp could be had with which to do It?. Xovelty is the great charm - of advertising.- Originality Is what the wold sigljs for. Br. prilfial and ynur fortune is made.
