Do not expect, your advertlsing: to pay unless you give it proper attention. You would not plant seed in the garden and never look at it again. If you did, the chances are that it woald never grow into the fruit bearing stage of development. I saw a notice the other day of an advertisement which bad been run continuously in identically the same from since 1866. That advertisement may have done some good, probably it did, bat to bring really adequate return*, advertising should be freshened by freauaat changes.of copy. I have recommended frequent changes to a man who said: "YeB, but our newspaper charges us extra for composition if we change our ad oftener than once a week,"?or once a month as the case might be. I That doesn't alter the case at ail. The ad? i/i ha nhamrpfl and if it I VOrtiuBJucm ouumu wv vu?*..0.~, ? I costs a little more.lt costs a little more and I that Is all there In of It. It will pay to pay I the additional charge. A shrewd advertiser said to me recently: I "I like to advertise In papers which charge a I good, stiff extra rate for display and for the i Insertion of cuts. The fact that they do this prevents a great many people using them, | and as a consequence my ads are very much J more prominent, for I always pay the extra rate and use the cuts and display.'* Advertisements should never be prepared In a hurry. There ought to be some particula time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait untdll the last minute and then write somethtog hurriedly, running the risk of making mistakes and with almost ttie certainty of falling to get a really good announcement. A bad advertlsementin a good paper may possibly do some good. A good advertisement In a good paper will always pay. It isn't such a hard thing to write good advertisements, It Is mainly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought. Do not say that you have not time, because this part of the bulsness is just as important as any othe^. In one sense, it is more important, because without it the business cannot amount to very much. irnctainted Letters.
