A Little Thought Spells Success in Advertising Mr. Advertiser, why not give the same careful thought to your advertising that you give to every other feature of your business? When you hire help are you not careful to get competent help? When you order a bill of goods are you not very careful to see that you get the right quality and at the right price? Why not apply this same principle to your ad- vertising-? Convince yourself that the newspaper in which you contemplate ad- vertising has the circulation which it claims. Convince yourself that you are securing the lowest possible price per thousand circulation. Convince yourself that the paper in which you will place your advertising has the confidence of its read- ers. Do this and you can make no mis- take in advertising. The Seattle Star is read by over 40,000 families a day. The Seattle Star enjoys the confidence of its readers. They believe in its policy. They know that its advertising columns are clean. They, therefore, have confidence in the advertising IN its columns. And The Star’s advertising rates are lower per thousand circulation than are the rates of on his thrashin’ machine.” little man who came Into the North. west a quarter of a century ago, meeting viol . with kind. brag and bluster with hum brought back into the fold a wayward people. any other Seattle newspaper.
