My Dear Mr. Stone: The sample? that you have sent The Inland Printer for comment havo proven so interesting to me that I am anxious to have you tell us hew well your printing advertising has paid you and how you make it pay; how you get your circulars out; how often you send them; and if you writo all your matter yourself or do you have it done outside. Will you also tell us how you get at tile business man ; by that I moan what special inducements do you present to him for trade-winning. I'd liko to havo your letter for use In my department of the paper for August, so let me have it by June 30th. I hope trade is good with you, and that I may have the pleasure of hearing from you soon. I am yours, E. ST. ELMO LEWIS, " Musgrove," of Inland Printer, Chicago. Any questions you'd like to ask, do so; I might help you. The following is from ** The Inland Printer," the leading printers' journal of the country: " Down in Roanoke,Virginia, there is one of the largest printing establishments in the South, and one of the most progressive and up-to-date in the business anywhere, The - tone Printing and Manufacturing Company. Mr. Edw. L. Stone, the head of the company, and the one from whom emanates the majority of the advertising ideas, writes me as follows about his advertising: 'I believe advertising to be almost as necessary in tbo conduct of u printing establishment as is the printing press itself. The kind of advertising, or the method employed, is the point that needs iliu most consideration. ? The writer has always believed in n certain amount of new - paper advertising, and has carried two inches across double, at the top of the column, next to local reading matter, same position, in our morning daily for the past eighl years. This is changed regu? larly, every week?the advertisement being set tip ir. our job department, in nobby style, stereotyped, and the plntc sent to the newspaper. We thus attend to our own display, have the use of all the late style type, borders, etc., and fiiul that this method encourages the systematic changing of the advertisement." 'Of course, the first thing is to have something to advertise. Advertising will not be beneficial for any length of time if the 'aims and representations are not as advertised. 1 We claim to be the largest and best equipped printing office in the State?with possibly two exceptions; they may be larger, but m really no hethr equipped. All of our machinery is modern?our ipplinnccs labor-saving, etc. We have lots of typo and other r'aeilitics necessary for quick work?and we tell our friends (and ncmics) about them. ' It. is, of course, necessary that the quality of our printing bo ; ight, and our prices right, and our promises kept. ' We inclose a little advertising slip in each letter we send out ind in each package we. deliver. 1 We never mention a price in our newspaper advertising, and seldom in our slip advertising. Our experience is that when a man sees a good job of printing he remembers who did it?he does nut ask what it cost. We mean, for example, suppose a handsome programme is gotten out for some public entertainment, and the programme is commented upon. On all sides we will hear: ?? Stone, that's a nice programme you printed for the Flower Show." When some other entertainment is to be given they remember that we printed the other programme, and come to us. Then we take care of the rest. ' We pay especial intention to our proofreading?and it's a winning card with schools, colleges, universities, lawyers, etc. * And we tell tin; people about it. 'Our city has a population of about '2.1.000?we employ about sixty-five people, occupy three lloors, 60 by 100 feet, well lighted and heated, titled with gas and electric light, gas and electric power, and electric bolls, dumb waiters and speaking tubes to all departments. Our people have a metropolitan priming office ai their own doors. 4 Ami we tell I hem about it. w We recently undertook to complete in two weeks an edition of 10,U0(i copies of an L80-pagc catalogue. Our customer doubted our ability to do so. A friend who bad seen some of our quick work, in the shape of law briefs, told the customer if we said we would dp it, they could count on ii being done. We had tie :: begging us for ?imo. 'And WC told the public about it. ? ' We endeavor not to promise more than we can perform?but, sifter we promise it, we leave no stone unturned to keep our promise. We telegraph for paper to come by express; we work at night?all night, may be; put the job on two presses, or six, if necessary. ' And then we tell the people about it. ' We keep quite a lot. of samples of our printed work, with circular price list, always ready for answering inquiries. We send oui a large calendar at first of the year, and calendars on blotters each month. ' We never " let up." ' We make it a rule to answer all letters courteously and fully. If a quotation is asked on one thing, and we can suggest something belter, or perhaps more economical, "we do so. 'We never " talk about" a competitor. We blow our own horn, and lind it. keeps us busy. ' f have tried to answer your questions, and hope I have done so satisfactorily. kI might add that f have active charge of the business; am a practical printer; write all the advertisements; keep in touch with almost every job, suggesting the change of a line here and there; believe in giving my force good tools to work with; have tried and true lieutenants at the head of the departments, who take pride h the good name of the establishment, etc. 'I believe in paying good wages and exacting good service. 'If I can give you any further information let me know.' " There are lots of good points in that letter. You will notice Mr. Stone says, 'we never let up.' Much of the suc? cess of Mr. Stone's advertising lies in that. There is no ' off season ' for Mr. Stone, because he always keeps at his people. Mr. Stone's letter can be read with a great deal of profit, because it is the testimony of a practical advertising busi? ness man who has the courage of his convictions and the CAT TALES. Threw drops of u black cat's blood is a sovereign euro for croup in tho folkloroof boiuo people. In London many people mako a living by supplying fuoil for tho myriuds of cats in that city. They aro called "cat's meat men." In Naples cats aro kept in tho many churches to catch the mice that infest them. They arc supported by the authori? ties, anil they may be often scon during tho services, sometimes walking sedately before the altar during mass or purring at tho fcot of the worshipers. Some time ago a learned professor made the important announcement that eats possess a distinct language which he de? clared is much like that of tho Chinese, being "musical, mellifluous and pleasing to the senses." lie claimed to have dis? covered (50 primitive words in tho cat lan? guage. The cats on tho islo of Man have no tails. This singular circumstance is ac? counted for by a tradition which says that a cat while going on an errand of mercy had its caudal appendage seized by tho devil, w ho pulled that member oil" closu to tho body. Since that time Manx cats have boon tailless. JEWELRY CONCEITS. The flowor-do-luco >ti 11 holds its own as a design for brooches and chatelaine pins. Grasshoppers, dragon Hies and other winged Insects continue to furnish models for gem set jewelry. Among handsome gold glass vases aro those iu tlowcr-du-luco shape, decorated in raised gold and clouded gold edges. Long chains arc in active demand. Some of these chains are made of lapis lazuli beads. In others enameled beads hit! employed. Little powder boxes, designed for the chatelaine, nro just, long enough to con? tain tlic tiniest of powder pull's and an in? finitesimal amount of face powder. An effort is being made to force the monocle in this country, anil the shops aro exhibiting in consequenco not only mono? cles, but long gold chains with jeweled slides to be worn with them.?Jewelers' Circular. FIVE ARAB MAXIMS. Never tell all yon know; for ho who tells everything he knowsottun tells more than be knows. Never believe all you hear; for ho who believes all that he hears often believes more tban ho hears. Never lay out all you can afford; for ho who lays out everything he can afford lays out more than he can afford. Never divide upon all you may see; for ho who decides upon till that ho sees often decides on mote than be sees. Never attempt all you can do; for ho who attempts everything he can do often attempts more than ho can do. CUR REN T COMME NT. Of course the Hear will hug the coast on tho way northward. ?
