short, to mane advertising more
trustworthy.
Advertising is Simply Marketing.
"Advertising after all, is just marketing;
but when you stop to reflect
that we have put two arms to all industry
in America?Production and
Marketing?you get some conception
of what it means to impair this powerful
business force.
"The head of the house rarely ever
has an opportunity for personal contact
with his custodiers. They learn to
know his institution through the
point of contact which they have
with it. If a salesman is a store is

future is apt to be overlooked in the
desire to use its most .powerful appeal,
and while most merchants and
manufacturers have sufficient vision
to realize this fact, it has been overlooked
by some and deliberately ignored
by others. Fortunately, they
are few in proportion to the total
number who use advertising, but
their activities have been so pernicious
and their copy so outstanding
that they have reflected on all advertising.
"The National Vigilance Committee
was formed and is now operating
to prevent this abuse; to protect
reader confidence; to maintain a
more careful watch on copy?in
business with one-half your sales
force or to double the amount of
your business with your present
force.
Reader Confidence in Everything.
"Reader confidence is all there is
to advertising. As reader confidence
goes up, so do sales and the value of
advertising. As a reader confidence
goes down, so does the value of advertising
and so do sales.
"Advertising as we use it today is
a comparatively new thing. Of course,
we have always had advertising in
some form or other, but its use as a
point of contact between buyer and
seller as now employed has been developed
largely within the last twenty-five
years. Like all new things, its
my competitor deals unfairly with
the public, he'hurts only himself,' for
if his competitor misuses advertising,
he impairs the standing and the
usefulness of advertising?the common
salesman for all American business.
"Confidence is the basis of all sales.
If the customer does not believe what
you tell him, certainly no sale is possible,
but on the contrary if you could
instill twice the amount of confidence
in the buying public, your sales would
be made in one-half the time and you
could double the effectiveness of
evey sales person without any speeding
up process or putting forth any
additional effort. This would permit
you to do your present amount of
believed and acted upon by the public.
"The old methods of doing business
are gone. They are never coming
back. There was a day when each
business man might consider himself
a unit unto himself. That day has
departed. Today, he is but a unit
in an industry.
"Once, he sent traveling salesmen,
floating down streams in skiffs and
they drove into the back woods by
horse and buggy.

are being marketed by a common

"Markets are in the minds of people,

THE MODERN SALESMAN.
Advertising Accomplishes Gigantic
Tasks.
Advertising is the great modern
salesman, accomplishing titanic tasks
for legitimate business, doing an infinite
number of important things
which would be impossible by any
other method?such was the inspiring
picture drawn in an address before
the world convention of advertising
in Atlanta, Ga., last week, by Rich
to the watchman to look.
"What the watchman was amazed
to see was the snake in a corner in
the act of swallowing a big rat, which
had been coaxed down a few inches
and was struggling to back out. Old
Limerick was gestulating wildly,)
scampering about the cell and in his
hoarse whisper swearing that the cell
was overflowing with snakes of all
colors. That was the last of Old
Limerick in Macon. The snake was

yells from cell No. 10. He He was
accustomend to hearing yells from
the drunks, and at first paid no attention,
but the yells increased in volume
and even denoting terror. He
didn't even know whether a murder
was being committed or a riot was in
progress. He gathered a club and
hastened to cell No. 10. In it he saw
Old Limerick, then a remarkable
tramp printer, whose life had been
spent in all the hoosegows of the
pountry for getting soused. He presented
a most horrible sight, his long
matted gray hair stood on end, his
eyes were like coals of fire and were
distended to their full capacity, he
was trembling in every limb and he
had exercised his lungs to that extent
he could only hoarsely whisper
L-era.
"While admiring the beauty of the
black snake, it occurred to Mayor
Price that he had on hand a sufficient
number of snakes to flood the
whole country with rain he would
spare the life of this one and turn
it loose in the unused part of the
basement for the extermination of
the rodents, and this is what he did.

mayor was a large handsome black
snake, said to be harmless but was a
terrible enemy to rats. At that time
a great many rats infested th# basement
of the old city hall, a part of
which was used as is now, for a prison
for the drunks and disorderlies
and others who made a habit of
transgressing the city ordinances.
The rats thrived on the leavings of
the meals furnished the prisoners,
and had accumulated in large num"L
city. There was hardly a tree in the
business part of town that was not
festooned with all kinds of snakes,
from ths harmless little garter
snakes to the deadly rattlers. For
the truth of rain some history followed,
but the down pour was not
satisfactory as was wished, still the
old saying proved to have some gum
in it. The explanation given at the
time for the failure to produce a
flood that might have done the farmers
good was that the snakes were improperly
hung, but nobody could be
found to say what the proper way
was, some saying that they should
have been suspended by the head, and
some that they should have been suspended
by the tail.

for rain bifi^em ploying every known
method to produce it, going so far as
to import a wizard rainmaker with
his batterv of mortars and firing
blank cartridges at the clouds that
the concussion might make some rain
fall.
"The late Mayor "Daisy" Price had
heard of the old saying that to kill
a snake and hang it over a nmb of a
tree would cause rain before the sun
went down. He wanted to try out
the experiment and to that end he
advertised for snakes. They were to
be delivered dead or alive at the city
hall. This was before the auditorium
was built as an annex.
"Out of his pocket he offered to
pay for the snakes and soon the
woods and the swamp below the city
was dragnetted for snakes by boys
as well as men, and hundreds of the
squirming reptiles were .brought in
to be killed by the street force and

the murder of his wife, Mrs. Gertrude
Harrison, was found guilty of
manslaughter by a jury that deliberated
18 hours and 30 minutes before
reaching a verdict.
Harrison's attorney's immediately
gave notice of a motion for a new
trial. No time was set for a hearing
by Judge Memminger, but it will be
heard some time this week. The penalty
provided in the verdict is imprisonment
in the state penitentiary
or on chain gang for a period of two
to 30 years. If Harrison receives a
sentence of more than ten years under
the law he will be held without
bond and will have to await the hearing
of his appeal to the supreme
court behind the bars of the county
jail.
Harrison received the verdict with
abated breath and turned pale when
it was read to the court. He later
regained his composure and seemed
calm. He had spent most of the night
in the court room awaiting the verdict
and did not retire to the county
jail until 4 o'clock this mornin? after

"Why not ask me to identify the

Columbia, Sept. 3. ? Governor
Cooper has replied to the letter from

the Georgia Executive forwarded the

for an apology from the state
of South Carolina to the state of
Georgia, for the acts of the mob
which recently raided the Augusta
Mrs.. Roosevelt's time, that she put a
stop to the white house china sales.
The design of the Roosevelt state
dining set was patented, so that it
could not, like other historic sets, be
copied in cheap ware for general sale.
The copying became a nuisance in the
time of President Hayes, when the
most elaborate dinner set ever made
for the white house was designed.
This was a pictorial set, each piece
bearing a scene, or some animal, bird
or fish. The idea was to represent the
flora and fauna of every state. The
china was of a beautiful quality and
the designs were artistic, but wheh
they were copied in cheap china and
sold, the Hayes dishes lost the individuality
which was their main
charm.

With white house china designs so
much copied that many people owned
articles they thought genuine, with
the historic white house scattered
at the ends of the country by sales:
and with no systematic records kept
of the articles left in the executive
Baker found china of only seven dining
sets?those of Lincoln and later
presidents. Apparently old white
; . house china had not been regarded
with an eye to its historic importance.
4 "+*
President Washington set a precedent
in this connection when he
held a sale on moving from the executive
mansion in New York to
Philadelphia. All the furniture and
china that in his estimation were
"decayed" were sold at auction. After
that, white house sales of broken
lots of china and of damaged ware
were customary. Second-hand dealers
were the chief attendants at these
sales. That things sold cheap is attested
to by such stories as the one
that a cracked Lincoln pitcher sold
for $2.50.
Gradually, antique dealers saw
possibilities in white house china,
and in the copying of it. So many
stores in Washington were selling
"authentic" white hnnse nlates hv
? Collecting the Old China.
Finding authentic souvenirs from
the table of every president has been
no easy task. It was not even easy to
identify the china in the white house.
_
The work was begun in 1903, when
Mrs. Abby Gunn Baker, who has for
some years been interested in historic
Washington, began to catalogue the
white, house ware.
Up to that time, the old punch
bowls, platters, and other antiques in
A .s
* . the white house closets were but
vaguely associated with the past pres*
idents. In some instances, the history
of a valuable piece was not remembered
or recorded at all. When stock
was taken it was found that a number
of the administrations had left no

cnnvpnire nf thpir tableware. Mrs.
s, " Several president's wives before this
had thought it would be a democratic
thing to buy homemade china, but
nothing comparable to the wellknown
foreign makes could be found.
That America has finally been able to
produce china that is at no disadvantage
beside Haviland, Wedgewood.
Sevres, and Canton is shown by the
Wilson set which was made by Lenoi
at Trenton, N. J., a number of samples
of which stand near the foreign
makes in the white house collection
room. .
f ? The Wilson set replaced the Roosevelt
china in wartime, when little
formal entertaining was being done.
Later, Mr. Wilson's illness made big
white house dinners impossible; so
that the set is still practically new.

Johnson is known to have duplicated
the Lincoln china for his use, he may
be said in a way to be represented by
some of the Lincoln souvenirs.
It is too soon for the present executive
and his wife to add their con
tribution to the porcelain hall of
fame. Mrs. Harding has not yet selected
any china for the white house.
Every president's wife buys small
* sets of china or odd pieces for family
use, but it is not likely that a new
state set will be needed for several
years anyway, as the Wilson state
set was bought only in 1918. The
set used before that was bought in
1903 by Mrs. Roosevelt and contained
about 1,200 pieces. It stood fifteen
years hard service, but white
house china, like any other, gets
shipped and sets are broken.
Mrs. Wilson had seen an exhibit of
American-made china and determined
