Persistent Advertising Illings liusi ness Success. If I lie money that is spent every year by "occasional" advertisers woro lidded up It would he found to amount to a largo sum. B> "occasional" ad vertising I moan the using of space at irregular periods in your newspa per. Local publicity is often done this wax under the excuse of helping ihr paper, hut the real reason. If the advertiser could he got to admit it. is that he is half-hearted about the matter, lie partly looks upon adver tising as a luxury anyhow, and so cur tails his expenditure on it to the lowest limit. Although the retailer may regard publicity as a luxury, it yet seems to lie a dream on his par! thai one day he will make some real success and a handsome fortune through advertis ing. Indeed, down deep in all retail ers' hearts Is a feeling that money can positively he made through advertis ing. They know that huge fortunes have been and are being piled up by retail merchants with the aid of this Utilities force, and they have secret hopes that one day they also may strike the royal road to success. If they but knew It that road lies straight and plain before every retail er in thi? country if he would only open his eyes to see It. .lohn Wannmaker, the great New York and Philadelphia retail merchant on one occasion said: "Advertising doesn't jerk; it pulls." It begins very gently at first, hut the pull is steady. It is likened to a team pulling a heavy load. A thousand spasmodic, jerky pulls will not budge that load, while one-half the force in steady effort will start anil keep it moving." Here is the solution In a nutshell ?steady effort. The merchant who us es newspaper space "occasionally" is simply wasting his efforts. It is the steady pounding?and pounding again ?that makes success in advertising as in everything else. All advertising Is good In proportionate degree to BlOW it is done and even occasional ad vertising has some value, but to be successful to the point of permanent ly Increasing your bank account. It must be done persistently and svstein at ically. What would you say about a clerk in your store who waited on your cus tomers for a day or two and then sat down to rest for a few more days, leaving the customers to attend to themselves. Von know how long your business would last under such con ditions. It is the same with newspa per advertising. Publicity in your newspaper is simply salesmanship on paper, and the same rules- apply to it as apply to salesmanship in your store. Continuous effort and eternal polish ing up of ideas and methods art; nec essary to make success either as a personal salesman in your store or as a salesman in your newspaper. Voll advertise to sell your goods and koep your name in front of the people. It is only reasonable to suppose that you will be hotter able to do this with persistent effort than with spasmodic attempts. If you woro to tell a man or woman daily about tho quality and prices of your wares you would pro duce more effect than if you were to talk to him ot her at uncertain inter , vals. The question of changing the sales manship or "copy" in yottr advertis ing space is an ImjKirtant one. It acts this way. Suppose you had a pile of some special goods for sale. Sup pose you were determined to soil some of these goods to some particular cus tomer. After you had asked that cus tomers to buy those goods would you, the next time you approached her, use exactly tho same language and argu | menis You know you would not. You '-' "p new ideas to attract new ways of convincing methods to get her to ust apply the same prln r advertising. You must .y hunting up ideas, new nd new ways of attract ing attention. Salesraan vspaper space Is Just the salesmanship behind your ble the ordinary storekeep ;ainst Is securing this sales a paper 1 have outlined. He ase advertising space readl x and so long as he buys onough space for a long enough peri od to make a successful display he has done all that the successful mer chant can do In that respect. But when It comes to filling the space the question assumes a different shape. Advertisement constructing is a pro fession like medicine or law. When you are sick you go to a physician. When your business wants toning up, why should you not go to a busi ness doctor??an advertising expert? There are on the market a number of what are called Syndicate Advertis ing Services. These can be obtained I for as low as one dollar per week. They give you precisely the same ser vice as is given to department stores and national advertisers by lirst-class individual rdvert isir.g managers. These services are usually supplied in a se ries of flfty-two advertisements, one i for each week in the year, together with llfty-two copperplate cuts of high grade illustrations drawn by high sal arled artists. The advertisnients are constructed by writers of national rep 1 utatinn and with gerat experience, men who have made success for thousands of other retailers in the same posi tion as yourself. The low price charg ed for these advertisements is only made possible because of thousands of the same advertisement that are sold to different merchants through out the country. Only one merchant in each town is allowed to use the service for his own trade. Particulars of the best of these syn d lea tod advertising services may be had from the editor of this journal and I earnestly advise you. as an up-to date merchant, to get them at once. "The early bird catches the worm" is a true saying and it is nowhere bet tor exemplified than in this case; the retailer who uses a service of this kind here now will start himself on a near cut to Independence and fortune.

C, Dear Sirs:? Your General Agent, Mr. D. W. Cochrane, has this day handed me your check for Five Hundred Dollars, being the first annual instalment of disability claim under Policy No. 79G1, which amount I will receive e~very year during total dis ability until I have received the face of the Policy, Five Thousand Dollars/ I want to thank you for your promptness in settling this claim. I received your check just one week from the day satisfactory proofs of dis ability were furnished you. ' What I particularly like about this contract is, it not only furnishes the same protection that other insurance policies do in case of death, but gives the additional advantage of protection to the insured while living, in case of total disability, as has been illustrated in my case. Being an old insurance man, the first time I had your policy explained to me, I applied at once for Five Thousand Dollars, believing that it filled a long-felt want in the insurance world: namely, a policy which would protect one's family in case of death, and would also protect oneself and family in case from any bodily disease he becomes totally unable to make a support for them. , . I am more than ever convinced that the Greensboro Life is one of the fairest, strongest and best insurance companies doing business in our State. (Signed) Respectfully yours, GEO. A. HARRISON.
