The average ;f,n cars at Black Rock. Willamette amount spent by each firm Is one and 1 Valley Lumber Co. 5-10-6t a half per cent of gross sales. The test of the advertisement is the amount of business It brings as compared with the amount done on the same day of the previous year. "The smart advertiser," says the writer, "does not know how much he does spend. If be secures a large vol ume of business through advertising, he is satisfied. On the whole, the amount of money devoted to advertis ing in small towns and cities, espec ially in the west, is too small. An ad vertising appropriation of $1000 or 11200 each year should not under normal conditions be excessive for a town of 6000. There are many legit imate promotion ideas which the pub lic and small towns take to kindly, and they can be put into execution at a cost of not over three to five per cent of the gross sales. 'The successful dealer spends in printers' ink all the way from prac tically nothing up to five per cent of his annual sales, the former when lo cation and windows are exceptionally good. Under average conditions, be ginners should spend from one to one and a half per cent of their annual sales In newspapers; perhaps two per per cent would be better. 'When well done, printed matter undoubtedly influences people to come into your store. The right expenditure or a modest amount of money In news PK r not only makes the use of lead ers more effective, but to some extent serves to diminish the amount of money necessary to spend In leaders. Advertising copy should be simple and direct people should be told plainly In the simplest manner what the mer chant is going to do. A promise to the public once made should never be bro ken. The reason that so much adver tising is not successful Is that it is prepared in a slap dash and shiftless way by one who has not studied the subject The advertising Is one of the most important tasks In the store."

IS QUALITY AS GOOD? Prominent Buyer Says Oregon Hops Are Deteriorating. (Harry L, Hart In Portland Journal.) The term "choice Oregon hops" has heretofore stood for the highest stand ard of quality In the markets of the world and a premium of several cent. per pound has been paid by the large American and English brewers for this choice quality. It has been the gunce by which others have been judged and classified but we are In a fair way to lose this reputation Tor all time and be rela gated to the level of growers of Infer ior goods in favor of the product of some other section. This Is due primarily to the lax methods of many Oregon growers In their failure to tske precautions against the spread of vermin. Early spraying Is essential. Late last August and even during the first f. w days of September many growers sprayed their yards for the first time. I realizing too late thst the rv. lie were threatening the entire crop, but found it of no avail, whereas the same exertion and expense applied six or eight weeks earlier would have saved them thousands of dollars and maintained the excellent standard of quality that has always been a by word In the hop and brewing Indus trie. The general opinion prevails among the eastern brewers, as well as In Eng land, that the Oregon hop crop Is de teriorating and that cannot now raise the quality produced In former years. Dealers are doing everything possible to counteract this sentiment Oa the theory that "the proof of ths puaaing is in the eating of It" It is de cidedly op to the Oregon hop grower 10 raise the choicest hop possible In 110. and sbov. all, pick cleanly.
