Harvey of Charleston Gives Some Mighty Good Advice to the* Bankers* Association at Its He cent ScwsioA. The following extracts from the address of Col. Wilson G. Harvey, of Charleston, before the Bankers' Aa-j soclatlon of South Carolina, should be read and carefully considered by every business man who la dependent for success upon public patronage. Col. Harvey has made a study of profitable publicity and knows where of he speaks: There la nothing so valuable In a wakenlng the habits of economy and increasing the savin?* of a communi? ty aa education. We must realise that we cannot arouse the peop e of our aeveral communities to the advantage of aavlng in any better way than1 by keeping them thorougly informed as to the scope, character, strength, safe? ty, methods, purposes and benefits of their banking Institutions. The question now comes up as to how and when to advertise. The lat? ter part of this can be) best answerod by the simple statement "advertise persistently." In other words spas? modic advertlalng is not advantageous advertising*. There are two objects In advertising;' One la to Impress upon the mind of tie reader the advantage which he (the reader) la to derive from having si banking account with some institution; the aecoifd la to Im? press upon the mind of the reader the Idea that your particular institution Is where he will secure the advan? tages of a banking account. 4 With that end In view advertising matter should embody either or both of the following facta: Argument or reason aa\to tho ad? visability of having a banking account, whether checking or aavlng?a sort of logical reasoning on the subject? a matter which will Impress the read? er that failure to have a banking ac? count endangers his money, occasion* him Inconvenience, debars him from privileges, forfeits j i. claims for financiering a project And then comas the secorid Idea, the Impression that your lnetltutlon offers safety, a strong directory, conservative man? agement, central location, progressive methods, courtesy to ladloi, and all the other feature* which may Influ? enae them to favor your Institution. And now aa to the medium of ad? vertising. They are so many and an varied aa almost to 1>ewllder. First and foremost the writer stands for newspaper, advertlalng rightly done, not apaamedlc on the one hand or sleepy, p/osy advertlalng on the oth? er. Advertlalng for a abort period of time to **4e how It turns out reminds me of the Indian who. being told how pleasant it was to sleep on a feather bed. tested the Information by plac? ing one lone feather between hla ahlverlng body and tho cold rock. On rising in the morning he gave vent to disappointment by saying "White nuyn'a feather bed heap damn fraud." The writer believes in a good loca? tion?guaranteed position if possible ?columns next to the reading mat? ter preferred, and then a change of copy frequently, dally If practicable. It costs more money. Yes?but you pay more rent for a place on the main atreet than for a place on the side atrcet. It takes tlm? and trou? ble to write ads. Yes?but It takes time to dress your front windows and dlaplay your goods. Abstain from scare headlines. Desist from too wordy copy. Let the matter be catching so that the reader has ab? sorbed the entire subject without be? ing conscious of having read an ad? vertisement, f Point out the strong features of your own institution, but positively desist from reflecting directly or In? directly on your competitors. Adver? tise In a medium circulating among those whom you can reasonably ex? pect to secure as depositors, utilize your local dally or weekly, and If you are catering to accounts of banks patronise the financial Journals. Ad? vertising to pay must be Judiciously done. I have read that? Too much advertising waste money. Too little advertising waste.* money. Too much copy In too little apace wastes money. Too little copy In too much space wastes money. ? ? i t Let me suggest that In advertising you abstain from laying so much stress on a point as to Invite suspic? ion of the feature which you designed to allay. A form of advertising that Is mild but effective is the adoption of a style of stationery and the using of certain type which becomes Iden? tified with the bank and serves as an idvertlsesment, and somewhat ukln to this Is the trade mark which so many banks over the country are idoptlng and which tend to Impress themselves upon the mind and act a* a constant reminder and therefore aro excell-nt advertisements. Circulars. detailed statements, and personal chats are forms of advertising; that, rightly done, should bring results. Far be It from the speaker to lower the dignity or standing of the bank? ing business. But times change and men and methods must change with them. Men charged with the man? agement of banks must realize that j they are dealing with a growing pop? ulation. The patrons of banks today are unmindful of the conditions or ideas prevailing half a century ago. They only see a number of banks within close proximity catering for business (just like so many other bus? iness houses) and they are going to favor the institution which impresses them that it is desirous of business, offers facilities and is conservatively managed. Just how best to create this impres? sion Is for bankers to determine. In the opinion of the speaker, personal work and bank advertising will ac? complish the desired end. * DINGLE TURNS THE TRICK. In a Beautifully Played and Closely Contested Game Dingle Steals Home In the Tenth Inning and Wins for The Locals. It was the little Manager, Felix Dingle, who turned the trick in Wed? nesday's game, and made the contest I a Game Cook victory when a tie score seemed inevitable. It was in the tenth inning, with the score 1 to 1, Dingle reached first on a clean hit to center, Wynne trying to bunt was out on a pop fly to McPherson, Springs reach? ed first on Fetner's miscue, advanc? ing Dingle to second, Perkins flew out to catcher. Lee drew four bad ones, I and the runners advanced a peg. While Leitner and McPherson held a brief consultation, the foxy little manager slide across the pan, and the game was over. It all happened so quick that half the people on the grand stand did not know what had happened. I The game was an excellent exhlbt- I tlon throughout. The Game Cocks were sore from the day before, and the Mechanics were determined to blot out the Ignominy of the first de feat, so with the starch out of the Chicks and the Mechanics in fine trim the 4 game was close and excit-1 ing. In the opening Inning, Dingle hit hard to third, and reached first on j Williams' bad throw. Wynne laid down a /neat bunt, which put Dingle on second. Springs hit to short, who errored, scoring Dingle and leaving I the sticker safe on the initial sack. I Springs was then thrown out trying to steal second, and Perkins retired! the side on an easy chance to short. This lead of one score the locals held until the ninth. In what should have been the last inning. Woodley was given his base I ! on balls, stole second, was advanced I to third when Williams hit to Garner and scored on passed ball, thus tying up the score. The way that the final I score was made and the game won I was told in the opening paragraph. The game was about as fine a prac- I tlce exhibition as one could well ex pect to see. The battery work of both teams was of such an order as I to render it, with that exception, feat- I u re less; but that feature alone was so exceptionally fine as to require no other to make the game interesting and exciting. Garner, the slabman from sunny Florida was In the pink of condition, and put over some speedy benders that left the batter gasping and th? I fans amazed. His work was superb. Besides fanning 12 Mechanics, he had to his credit six assists, one put out and cracked out a two-bagger. Steph? ens worked him beautifully, and only three hits were secured from his deliv? ery. Leitner pitched a good, steady, game for the visitors. While he was touched up for nine hits, three of them for an extra base, still he kept them well scattered, and work? ed well In pinches. Little Dingle batted 750. securing three saftles and a sacrifice out of five times at the bat. Lee came clean with two more two-baggers andprovec1 that he will make a valuable man In the outfield as well as an exception? ally fine slabman. Result: * R. H. E.
