They know, by experi- ence, that it has no equal in this section of the country as an advertising medium. to reach John Smith and nobody else. Much pulicity same thing—give our- selves strong jolly—not waste of money. but not publicity. “When ever in ieiling your story, you are able to get the other man’s point of view, and to put it up from that standpoint, you will approximate the.truth. If you are thinking only from your own standpoint, it will be impossible to tell the truth no matter how earnestly and honestly you try. | “The same message is not read by everyone in the same way. For that reason a great deal of the advertis- ing sent out in the past was perfectly adapted to bring failures. It would not mislead a capable man; it did mislead incapables. It let them fool themselves. I don’t know any way of preventing that and if a man is bound to fool himself I don’t know /4y, and Rubbers, values to urday only - - lin, worth 8¢ a yd. Sat.

But at the same time it is a mistake to advertise for failures exclusively. “If ‘'you advertise that just over the hill in your town is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and it is not even necessary to dig for it, all the failures in the United States will answer your ad. They will bring their own failure with them and raise another failure off the same stalk. In our enthusiasm we are apt {to issue an invitation to failures and they are the easiest people to accept invitations you can find anywhere. |When we are telling the story it is better to be under the mark than to bring failures. Their coming -will not help them and it will not help the rest of us. “To'avoid that error, find some way of testing your matter on another mind. Either by getting it to some- one outside, or by imagining how it would sound to the man you have mn your mind’s eye, you can keep away from the error of advertising for failures Otherwise we are very apt to talk about our country the way lthe writeup talks about John Smith. It doesn’t tell the truth to anybody but him—the same as looking in a mirror. ““The other essential to telling the truth is to get your message into the hands of the man you are trying to reach. Different Publicity. “Not long ago I was talking with a man about a publicity scheme and he said, “I don’t believe in publicity. Two years ago I was coaxed into buy- ing two hundred booklets, and I've got them all now back there in the closet.” “I don’t believe in that sort.of publicity either. It is not publicity. “Printed matter is not publicity. Printed matter is the tool of publi- city. Just as the hammer and saw are not carpentry, they are the tools of carpentry. ‘“The plan of distribution is in many cases the most different part of your publicity campaign. I took part once, if you will excuse a per- sonal experience, in a campaign where a large edition of booklets was issued. We had an excellent scheme of distribution as I thought then, but it did not work. Because most of the subscribers insisted on getting their proportion of the booklets. They could not realize that they were paying for publicity; they thought they were buying so many copies. of the booklet. got them, they did not know what to do with them and probably half of } ithe booklets were either stacked up on the back shelves or scattered round home. They were meant to tell the truth to the people in Iowa and Il- linois and Southern Minnesota about a splendid opportunity up here and they were distributed among people who were here already. They got the booklets and threw away the publicity. Distribution Important. “If you ask Fred Sherman or Max- field I think either of them will tell you that distribution is the hardest part of the scheme. I am not going to try to tell how to get good distri- bution because every plan has its own best way of getting results. Your own experience will often point out a practicable way or any man who has studied the problem can help you after he knows whom you are trying to reach and what you are trying to accomplish and what means you have of connecting your publicity with the selling end after you have got a man interested. But I do think we do not always realize the importance of distribution and we sometimes wast a good deal of effort and money for want of giving proper attention to the publicity end of a publicity campaign. Will Produce Results. “I have used up my time without set for me—Advertising as a force in development. I'm going to skip that. ‘We all realize that every phase of de- velopment must be aided by good ad- vertising if we expect results. Through this association, through {the Commercial Clubs and.county as- sociations. through the banks and land men, with the co-operation of the state immigration bureau and the co-operation of the railroads, North- ern Minnesota has been magnificently advertised. And we are getting mag- nificent results. “What has been accomplished should stimulate us all to work still harder for results still larger and bet- ter and happier.” KKK KKK KK KK KKK KKK * PINEWOOD. * ¥ (By Special Correspondent.) ¥ KEKEKXEKEKKKKK KK KKK K Oscar Thompson, who has been visiting with his brothers in'Derrick, N.
