Nobody would pick out Lynn, Mass, -a city with a population less than. 100,000-as having the largest grocery and provision store under one owner ship In the United States, but it ls a! fact nevertheless. The owner of this great establish ment admits frankly that one of the reasons why his grocery and pro vision store is so large and successful is because of the newspaper advertis ing that he was persuaded to do hy the owner of the Lynn Item. The owner of the store always be lieved in advertising, but at the start he used rather indifferent copy. The ?pace was large enough, io: he used six Inches single column, tut lt was the ordinary kind of advertising, that did not say very much except quot? prices, and did not Interest the read ers. The publisher counseled the owner to use enough space co tell the people of Lynn and vicinity all about the store and its facilities for serving them well. This was done. One advertisement, for instance, would refer to their cracker depart ment, which by Itself is as large as many entire grocery- stores. In thia department every known cracker of merit can be found. They could tell, and did tell, a very interesting story about this department, and that is the way they did with all the other de partments of the store. After a while the owner got into the spirit of advertising-realized what a great thing It was to bim In bis busi ness; so when it came around to an anniversary date he used a full page an unusual thing for a country store to do. The success of that advertisement was instantaneous. The crowd that responded was so great that the side walks were blockaded and extra po lice were called to take care of the people. They have been users of newspaper space ever since. Grocery advertising, like every oth er kind, creates more interest if a story is told and not too much stress laid upon a mere price list of articles. The owner of this particular ?tore makes his advertising of general in terest, and all of the people or Lynn and vicinity respond to it generously, with the result that the business is very successful. ' V NEW IDEA IN ADVERTISING 3right (?) Scheme of Parisians to Teach Parrots to Call Out Wares in Public Placet. - I Word concerning a new idea in ad vertising has jubi come from Paris. The scheme is to teach parrots to as sist in the extension of commerce by sitting upon perches and croaking: "Try Crushem's Corsets," or "Say Wattles," or "Eureka Razor," as the case may be. The training of the par rots, according to the promoters of the new scheme, is to be a simple matter. A phonograph is to be placed in a room fitted up for tho purpose and the instrument will grind out, hour after hour, the cry that the par rots are to repeat. The birds mean while will be established on conven ient perches where they may hear the two or three words that are to be used in pushing the commodity of the advertiser, and the solemn business will proceed until the parrots take up the cry of the phonograph. It has been established that a parrot, once it has learned to say a certain thing, will repeat that thing a thousand times a day for a hundred years, bar ring accidents or plots, and the facts is emphasized by the projectors of the new method of advertising. They ex pect shortly to have their parrots on. duty in all the big shops and in every, public place, so that the wares they are employed to praise may be contin uously called to the attention o? the people. There is a well-grounded belief that it pays to advertise, but It does not pay to annoy the public. We reserve the right to be skeptical, says the Chi cago Record-Herala, and venture lo express the hope that some friend of humanity will at once get busy upon the problem of discovering a way in which parrots may be put to death quickly, surreptitiously and with as little annoyance to the birds as pos sible. The Big Favorite. 'T?o advertiser has a right to force his advertising matter upon persons who do not wish to see it, such- as in billboard advertising," declared Na thaniel B. Fowler, Jr., in an addres% before the Get Together club of the. Jordan Marsh company of Boston. "Advertising should, in ray opinion, be done entirely through the great national medium of the newspapers and periodicals, which are seen only by those who buy and wish to read them. From my 25 years of experi ence in the advertising business I can positively say that 95 per cent, of the best advertisers in this country one only this medium."
