Effective Advertising Fear that he will not be able to handle his advertising in a skilful manner has deterred many a business man from entering the field of publicity that would return big divi dends. The awe in which the scientific aspect of adver tising is held has likewise exercised a deterrent influence on those who otherwise might have reaped their full share of the sure profits that come from good advertising. V Stripped of its fancy or fearsome features, advertising is just plain salesmanship and any man who* is properly quali fied to sell merchandise should be able, with a little thought and study, to sell goods through the medium of advertising. High sounding phrases and rhetorical flights have no definite place in the successful advertising of today, but, on thc oth er hand, the direct, personal message couched in good lan guage is the kind of talk that sells goods either from behind the counter or through the medium'of newspaper publicity. As a salesman, the man who sought to show a su periority in the use of language over his everyday customer is no more a success than would he be if he sought to use unknown, and unconvincing language in making his sale through an advertisement. Likewise, some men who 'would not think of using language that through its crudity of construction would approach vulgarity, pay little, atten tion tc the grammatical construction of their advertising. Poor construction and bad grammar are traits of-poor sales manship and'they also afford an unfair test of thc value of advertising. A recent advertisement in a Salt Lake newspaper con tained no mention of the name or address of the advertiser. This advertisement cost real money and the advertiser would not be guilty of purchasing any other commodity without giving the address to which his goods were to be de livered A clerk heard offering an opinion to a customer that "Them kind of lemons is good" would be in danger bf hav ing leisure to continue his grammar school studies, but like ! expressions are often found in the advertisements of today and no doubt the advertiser wonders why his'message is not taken more, seriously.-Salt Lafces Repubiicsn. J Relation of Hospital to County Medical Society Topic of Splendid Paper by Dr. E. A. Hines, Sup erintendent of th? Hospital.
