A Grateful Son-in-Law.
H. H. Rogers, on his return voyage
from Bermuda last month said one
evening in the smoking room of his
travelling companion, Mark Twain:
"He is an incorrigible humorist.
Even in his most emotional moments
he can't help being funny.
"When he married in Elmira in
1870 his father-in-law made him a
present of a fine, well- famished
house in Buffalo.
"The present came as a surprise
Mark Twain knew nothing of it till,
amid a party of relatives and friends,
he was shown over the luxarious
place. Then .when they told him it
was his, tears filled his eyes.
''But he was still the humorist,
and turning to his father-in-law he
said, though in a voice that trembled
a little.
" 'Mr. Langdon, whenever you're
in Buffalo, if it's as much as twice
a year, you are to come right up
here and take tea. You can stay
all night, too, if yon want to, and

me HORSEPOWER of ADVERTISING
IN NO OTHER FIELD OF HUMAN EFFORT 113 SO MUCH MONEY
SPENT ?S IN SPREADING BUSINESS NEWS, REACHING
A THOU3AND MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
BT M. LEE STARKE.
Is (AI/G?ST uwins O? VAN NORMS MAGAZINE, NEW YOBS OITT.
i^^OHAT advertising is the greatest force in the industrial life of a
M ? nation is amply proved by the fact that a larger amount of
money, is invented in it anuually than in any other field of effort.
A thousand million dollars a year io expended in advertising, a
vast sum which equals 1 per cent, of the cntiro wealth of the
nation and approximates the value of all the imports of the country. This
enormous amount is spent for space in newspapers, and in the many other
channels through which the news of the business world is brought before
the public.
This great investment of capital sells over $15,000,000,000 worth of
the products of the nation's industrial efforts. Last year there were ap
proximately 220,000 manufacturers in the country, with a total capitaliza
tion in round numbers of $14,000,000,000. The sales resulting from the
extensive advertising campaigns of " these manufacturers produced
return to the manufacturers of more than $15,000,000,000.
Compared with, tho expenses' incurred by the producers to
reach the consumers-which is slightly in Excess of $1,000,000,000-the cost
of accomplishing the sale of the vast amount of goods produced approxi
mates 7 per cent,
In np other'fleld of human effort is there sp muoh money spent as in
advertising. That i\ is productive pf satisfactory results is proved by the
fact that from year to year the amount pf mopey spent to spread business
news increased by about 2 per cent, lp 3 per cent. Without the use of
advertising, the commercial life of the nation would be practically at a
stand-still. It is the channel through which the manufacturer must reach
the consumer orr1, without which ho would have to limit his sales to the
immedi?ite neighboii^d of his factory,
What is this magic force which we call advertising ? In the first place,
cud above all things, it is the shortest, in fact the only practicable lino
between, manufacturer and consumer. It is the news which the industrief
of the country publish to thc great buying public. Without it, the public
would remain in ignorance of the existence of the goods produced.
Advertising represents a composite of all trades, professions and occu
pations. All thc professions will in a few years, advertise. The livi
minister does advertise now. The banker is one of the most successful adver
tisers of today, yet a few years back the idea that the dignified banker
should ever have to advertise would have seemed ridiculous.
. . . .
The Creative Power of Advertising.
De Weese says, "Advertising makes; two blades o? grass grow in the
business world where only one grew, before." It is a business-builder with
a potency that goes beyond human desire, and creates wants.
J. Walter Thompson said in Appleton's Magazine, "In modem times
advertising has become one pf the mainstays, and, in many lines, the-; prin
cipal creative force for business, and yet the wonder is that so many men
having osgood business reputation fail utterly to grasp its possibilities or
the necessity for continuous advertising,
"The Sticker Is the Winner."
"The human mind is like a fertile field. Sow the seed and let it tak>
root and grow, and in due time the harvest comes. But the man who ex
pects the harvest the day or month after the sowing of the seed would be
looked upon as deficient in common sense."
The successful advertiser knows that bc had to stick to it, get behind
it, and push it before the people, through the power of publicity, until the
public makes the demand. He knows his motto is "The sticker is the
wiuner." There may be nothing in a name until it is advertised, then it
may become a household word anti be worth millions of dollars.
A good example of this is the National Biscuit Company's advertising.
They took a common soda cracker, put it in an attractive package and gave
it a suggestive name, Uneeda Biscuit. Then they put money and brains be
hind the name, and made everybody acquainted with it. Within a few
months whenever one wanted a cracker, one instinctively thought of Unceda
Biscuit. I am told that the idea for this name was suggested by a parrot's
"Polly wants a cracker." A clever advertising man simply changed the
phrase to Uneeda Biscuit.
. . . .
Educational Value of Advertising.
News in advertising keeps the nation informed of the new things for wear,
articles for domestic convenience, etc., in advance. This is one of the
reasons why women read thc fashion magazines so closely to get thc news
and styles pf fashions in advance. A whole nation can be made aware at
one time of a new product by "nows" advertising appearing simultane
ously in papers all over the country. Department stores have achieved their
remarkable success simply because their advertisements are store news, and
it is now a recognized fact that women read this class of advertising news
with keener interest than the regular news columns.
John Wanamaker sees and has pointed out thc educational value of
advertising:
"Advertising plays a part in the world of trade that does not appear upon
superficial rending. True, lhere is much advertising that contains nothing
beyond screams of alleged bargains and rhetorical rhodomontad?}. But there
is advertising with a deeper purpose, which, while written with the expec
tation of sufficiently remunerative immediate response, also serves a deeper
and broader usefulness to the store that exploits it, as well as conserving to
broad public good. You probably think of advertising as confining its ef
forts to winning your interest in thc store's merchandise, and impressing
you with the fact that a certain store is a good one to trade with. But adver
tising of the higher sort aims at ever so much more. It does not confine its
efforts to telling you where to buy things of which you feel the need-it
educates desire."
The Saturday Evening Post, which knows something about the subject,
recently had a leading editorial pn "Educational Advertising," in which
it says :
"Advertising is one of the greatest of educational forces. Education
means rousing the spirit of inquiry. The easy and the sensible way to
rouse this r-pirit in any human being is to tell him of something which be
does not know and which it -will be clearly to his advantage to know.
The man with something good tp sell is therefore in a position to increase
the sum of human comfort and happiness, and the more he benefits himself
the more does he increase that sum."
Advertising in Politics.
Managers of political campaigns have just begun to appreciate the value
of publicity that can he secured through a variety of mediums. Nearly
every man seeking an office of ?ny prominence today has in his employ a
press agent to further his interests.
The newspapers, magazines, billboards, and other mediums are used ex
tensively by politicians. In f the last presidential campaign, George B.
Cortelyou, that shrewd manager of Mr. Roosevelt's interests, mapped out a
publicity course that attracted wide attention and countless votes. Mr.
Cortelyou decided to purchase space in leading publications and employed
a clever press agent to secure free press notices. Then he contracted for
a number of pages in various nutgnziues, which he utilized to excellent
advantage in getting the issues of the campaign and the personality of
Roosevelt before the voters. It was the first departure of its kind from the
old campaign methods that I have noticed, and how effectively it worked
is an old story now. In many publications Mr. Roosevelt's picture was
used with a clever write-up of the man and his views. In most instances
it was plain that the article was pure advertising, but that detracted but
little from its value.
This paid advertising did not prevent the magazines from using foe
usual interesting contributions in its reading pages either, but rather did
it increase such contributions. Thc idea itself brought out much oomment.
as Mr. Cortelyou's plan of campaign was new and business-like-encl
brought results. The manner in which it was carried out stamped Mr.
Cortelyou as an advertiser confident that advertising brings results.
This year's political campaign goes to prove more than ever before the
efficiency of proper publicity, and emphasizes the statement made long ago
by the writer, to thc effect that there are many lines *of business and
professions not using publicity, which can do so advantageously. The
^rst in each of these lines to realize this fact will reap a harvest.
Personality in Advertising.
Thomas W. Lawson said: "My most effective force, my most powerful
weapon is publicity. It is the irresistible instrument by the usc of which I
am enabled to strike, and by means of which it is possible for me to arouse
people'to action."
It is by no means necessary that personality, as an advertiser, should
consist of the seller's personal acqaintance with those whose custom he
solicits. "Acquaintance by reputation" is sufficient. For instance, take
tho conspicuous case of the ex-Governor of Massachusetts. In his advertis
ing methods he has riveted the attention of flic public to his own person
ality. It has been impossible for many years past to lake up a newspaper
anywhere that the portrait of W. L. Douglas did not meet the eye at thc
head of the advertisement. It is impossible to estimate how much greater
his sales have been ns a result of this display of personality than would
have resulted without it.
Publicity Au Enormous Power.
The tremendous value of advertising in the commercial life of a nation
was foreseen by the great Macaulay, who said, "Advertising is to business
what steam is to machinery, thc great motive power." Gladstone, also,
some time before his death said, "Publicity is an enormous power in busi
ness, and nothing can make money without if, save a mint." John Wana
maker, one of the greatest and most successful advertisers in the world,
says, "It is impossible to build a large bu-'iness to-day without publicity.
Advertising is an evolution of modern industrial competition." Said Hor
ace Greeley, "To neglect lo advertize is like resolving never lo travel hy
steam or lo communicate by telegraph " Lorri Roseberry, during the time
that he was Prime Minisier of England, stated to his Cabinet, on an oc
casion when the subject was under advisement, that advertising wn.s the
aavance agent of prosperity, (hat it was unquestionably the most wonderful
modern commercial agency. . . .

SILVER HOLDERS.
The hostess who dislikes serving
cheese, marmalade, sauces and cat
sups In their jars or bottles has found
the silver covors, which were pro
vided for them a. few years ago, a
welcome Invention.
It ls only recently, however, that
the prices of these covers were not
prohibitive for the housekeeper on a
small income. Now, fortunately, the
boxes to hold cheese, caviar, marma
lade and covers fer catsup and sauce
bottles come in plated silver. They ,
are so reasonable in price that the
woman of moderate means need no
longer be deprived cf these dainty ac
cessories to a well-served meal.

Our Restaurants.
It Is a puzzle to me that native
Americans are, as a rule, unsuccess
ful In the conduct of restaurants,
cabarets, posadas, inn's and other
eating-houses. It seems that we must
forever depend cn the Frenchman,
the Hungarian, the German, the Itali
an or the Syran, and now and then
the Spaniard, fer good meals a la
carte or taLle d'hote at a reason
able prie?. Once In a while the
Irish come to the front and are amaz
ingly successful. I suppose there
ls a knack In the business "which
Americans have not acquired.-New
York Press.
Increase in Lunacy.
Within tho last half century there
bas been a remarkable lacrease of
lunacy In ireland. In 1901 tnere were
25,050 lunatics In Ireland, or one In
every 179 of the population. In 1851
there were only 350 -In the entire
county Antrim and Belfast, but to
day there are 2,300, an Increase of
1,950. In 1881 the percentage of lun
atics per 10,000 of tue population In
England was 30.4, in Scotland 34, and
In Ireland 30.5. Last year the fig
ing, and perhaps this ls not a mat
urea were: England 40.8 "per 10,000
of the population: Scotland, 45, and
