The only thing an ad can possibly do is to bring prospective purchasers to a store and the advertisement will not fail if proper salesmanship is the factor of the store, and if prompt delivery service adds to the satifaction of the customer. Poor quality of paper used for advertising matter is rarely ever a good investment. It works the wrong way on everybody. In the first place, the pressman cannot print a good cut job on poor paper and consequently, know- ing that he will get no credit, he slights the work; the same way with those who fold and bind circulars; then, too, cheap circulars going into the home are not apt to be read owing to the large amount of cheap samples and circular matter now going around. Its the good grade stuff that counts in every walk of life. A BAD HABIT. A salesman familiar with the mail order business characterizes mail order buying as a habit—a bad habit, we should say. The majority of men and women are'‘homekeep- ing folks;” their adventures, like those of the good Vicar of Wake- field, are by their own firesides,” and all their “migrations are from the blue bed to the brown.” To all such there is a glamour of the far away catalogue buying—the satisfy- ing of a craving for the unknown and a yielding to the compelling in- fluence of the great city that, like a vast sponge, absorbs all within its reach. Such people will pay the same price abroad for articles they could obtain at home, and will ac- cept “‘sight and unseen” what they would probably reject if seen at home; because, asa shrewd salesman has suggested, “‘their neighbors have purchased the same thing, or at least have priced it and know what it costs.” This is one of the peculiarities of human nature the home merchant has to take into account; and only the shrewd merchant or a clever salesman is prepared to meet the difficulty presented, We do not presume to offer any suggestions. It is part of the salesman’s efficiency not to sell people what they dont want (as the old-time merchant used to instruct his help to do, as their big- Rest achievement as salesman), but rather to sell them the thing they do want but hesitate to buy because apparently other people also want the same thing, and the purchase becomes ‘“common.” When a country salesman can overcome this “far away glamour” of his trade he has “arrived” as a clerk. A big object is seen quicker than a small object. Same way with ads. An elephant makes more impres- sion than an ant. Same way with ads. A sledge hammer accomplishes its purpose when a tack hammer would fail. Same way with ads. When sailors fish for sharks they use heavy tackle. Same way with ads. If you want to be popular don’t put in your time hunting up the truth to tell. Mark the too smart young man off your daughter’s visiting list. Flowers will not grow where weeds refuse to flourish. YOU SHOULD NOT DESPISE THE DAY OF LITTLE THINGS [Continued from First Page] ~m Model 10 Buick, one of the best and most popular cars of 1910 Model on the market today. One of the earliest pioneers in automobile building was a Buick.
