Pul "Punch" Into Your Advertising When you arc nttacked by someone who wants to do you bodily injury, if, you tire the avornge American man., you straighten out your body and give the miscreant a direct hit from the shoulder that lays him out?a can didate for the hospital. That is called punch. Hut there are other kinds of punch, livery kind of human action originat ed by a human being may be strong or weak according to the energy put into it by the person. The effect of those actions on the rest of the world, or on any particular person, when those action.; make a deep and paralyz ing impression, is called punch, We tall; about the punch of a theatrical play, meaning the strong permanent blow of its action on the feelings of the audience. A story has punch and the most ordinary clerk in your store can give punch to his dully work and life that Will leave a lasting impression on the people with whom ho comes into contact It is punch that makes you successful?without punch you cannot even hope to start on the road to prosperity. Punch should enter Into every ac tion of your life. If you pray, put punch Into it. If you sell goods in your store, put punch Into the selling talk. Punch shows sincerity just the I same as that blow from the shoulder on the part of the man. If you look a woman or man in the face, and put ' punch Into the arguments and sugges tions you use to sell your goods, you wUl create an impression that you be lieve in what you sell and that fact alone goes a long way towards con summation of the sale. When you look carefully over the written account's of the men and wom en who have made history and been really great in all walks of life, you will find innumerable instances of i punch, showing clearly that success, was built on it, as much as on their other actions. Many men and women believe all that Is necessary to secure success In life Is to conceive an idea or set of ideas and carry out the actions In con nection therewith along well defined rules. They even becomo imitative and follow the rules laid down by the great men and women I have enum erated. That Is the road to failure. No matter how good your plans are or well laid the methods of carrying them out, you must put punch into their execution to make them success ful. When you want to make your busi ness a success, and you know that I the highest grade of salesmanship, both Inside and outside your store Is necessary to that success?be sure you also allow for punch in the execution of your plans. In your publicity, for Instance, you need punch In the sales manship used. No matter what your business, you require puneh in that salesmanship to impress your goods on the minds of the people and make them remember you sufficiently long and earnestly to buy. It Is just the same punch as Is referred to In con nection with the theatrical play. Un less that play has punch It would nol leave a sufficiently good impression on the play-goers to make them criti cise It to its advantage. I'se punch, then, in your advertisements. Punch home "straight from the shoulder" in to the minds of the prospective cus tomer and he or she will remember you longer and more favorably than all possible rivals. As you already know, there are four points to a successful advertisement that must be made operative before It can be successful. It must capture the attention of the prospective cus tomer; It will have to create Interest in his or her mind and It must after wards bring conviction that the goods are what they are represented to be and that they are needed by the pros pect. Lastly, the advertisement must cause the actual purchase of the goods. Any man who has' studied adver tising closely can very easily combine all thoso principles In some sort of a way, but It requires an expert to com bine them successfully. A salesman In your store may easi ly apply all the rules of selling to the' customer that comes In, but he may not bo successful through lack of forcefulness?punch. It Is the same l with an advertisement. You need niinch?the appearance of forceful honesty and convincing pcwor in the wording and expression of the ad to bring the results that you have a right to expect from It. It Is punch that makes all the dif ference between success and failure In the advertisements of our greatest retailers. It is punch that will bring success to you through your announce ments and unless you are able to in corporate punch into them, you may as well do no advertising at all. The best way to get advertisements that have not only the necessary punch but that are constructed in every way to bring resutls Is to buy a syndicated advertislng service. This service is offered in a series of 52, one advertise ment for each week in the year. Each ad is supplied along with an attention compelling copperplate cut. the lllus tration drawn by a high priced artist. The whol< serie3 has been construct ed by an advertising expert with a national reputation who has made suc cess Tor many other merchants in the same position as yourself, it would be impossible to buy those advertise ments tor the low price at which they are sold?from one dollar per week up ?but for tho large numbers of each kind that are sold to thousands of re tailers throughout the country. Only one merchant In each trade is allowed to use a service in his own town. The retailers hero would do well to get full particulars of this new syn dic;.ted advertising service from the editor of this paper. The use of such salesmanship >n paper?which may be called advertising with punch in it? is the Strntghtest road to advertising success . HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM. It is an Internal Disease and Requires an Internal Rented)'. The cause of Rheumatism and kin dred diseases is an excess of uric acid in tho blood.
