SUCCESSFUL GROCERY
STORE ADVERTISING
By WM. C. FREEMAN.
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 is ai
fact neverthdiess.
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
ls because of the newspaper advertis
ing that he was persuaded to do by
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 waa large enough, for he usefl.
six inches single column, but it was
the ordinary kind of advertising, that
did not say very much except quote
prices, and did not Interest the read
ers.
The publisher counseled the owner
to use enough space to 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 ls 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 him in his 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 blockadect 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 store
makes ufa advertising of general In
terest, and all of the people of Lynn
and vicinity respond to it generously,
with the result thiit the basinets is
very successful.
NEW IDEA IN ADVERTISING
Bright (?) Scheme of Parisians to
Teach Parrots to Call Out Wares
in Public Places.
_ I
Word concerning a new Idea in ad
vertising has just come from Paris.
The scheme is to teach parrots to as
sist in the extension of commerce by
Eitting 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 ls to be placed
tn a room fitted up for the 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 of tbe
people.
There ls a well-grounded belief that
it pays to advertise, but lt 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.
"No 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 addrest
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 use
only this medium."
