to Success
That's our specialty?Good Printing that is
~ exactly suited to the purpose for which it is intend
: ed. The essential element to be determined is the
| precise character of work that is suited to the prop
osition. Our wide experience qualifies us to give
' expert assistance and advice on this point?to be
"of-real service to you in the preparation of your
folders, booklets, catalogs, price lists, etc.?lend
jng to each those characteristics best fitted to im
press the recipient with the points which you seek
to make prominent.
We mention this feature of our equipment for
handling your business effectively, as an illustra
tion of the many ways in which we are prepared to
co-operate with you for the best results at lowest
cost for a given quality and quantity.
It is not merely the volume of noise, but the
blending of sound that creates harmony. A flashy
style in printing is suited to certain lines, but there
must be "harmony of contrast" or the result will
prove a disappointment. Quiet effects are best in
the majority of instances. Good taste is always
'essential.
How can you consistently talk quality in your
product without quality in the medium which car
ries your message?
This requirement extends to every printed
1 thing you-use in your business?cards, letter heads,
'vtHll heads, etc. Everything a possible customer
gsees, is creating an impression by the way it looks
las well as what it says.
"First impressions are lasting"?make them

EMPIRE ILLUSION
The Second Epliode of the Two-Reel Gentleman Adeventurer
Man Loves Gold and Hat?a to Ba Im
posed Upon by Counterfeits?Goods
Shipped In Plain Packagea?Many
Local Merchants Deficient In Knowl
edge of Advertiaing.
[Copyrighted, 19H, by Thomas J. Sullivan.]
The first hypocrite was the man who
stole the livery of the court of heaven
to serve the devil In.
Some "people speak as If hypocrites
were confined, only to religion, but
they are everywhere, people pretend
ing to wealth when tbey have not a
sixpence?Assuming knowledge of which
tbey are Ignorant, shamming a cul
ture they are far removed from, adopt
ing opinions they do not hold and pre
tending honest business roles which
are far from the legitimate.
As n man loves gold, In that pro
portion be bates to be Imposed upon
by counterfeits, and In proportion as
a man has regard for that which Is
above price and better than gold he
abhors that hypocrisy which Is but
its counterfeit.
Lying before the writer Is the acme
of hypocrisy. It is a catalogue of ono
of those mail order bouses, and on one
page threie sewing machines are adver
tised. The Brst Is declared to be tbe
"most perfect sewing machine on tbe
market," the second Is said to have
"more good sensible Ideas than any
other," while the third Is praised as
being "tbe most superior sewing ma
chine on the mnrket."
Now, which of these machines really
Is the best? Which of them is as good
as the one your retuiler sells and guar
antees? Can any reader of the above
triumvirate of ads. tell? Most' assur
edly not.
The lesson should be plain to all who
receive these catalogues. They con
tain glowing descriptions of goods, but
the senders of money do not know
what they are going to get for their
money when they send It to a mall or
der house.
Goods In Plain Paskages.
Were It not so serious it would be
amusing to read some of the smooth
arguments the catalogue houses ad
vance to their readers In an effort to
Induce them to send In ordefs. They
say that goods are sent In plain pack
ages because many merchants who buy
of them to sell again object to having
their name appear on the boxes. We
know wo are safe in snylng there 1b
not one single merchant In the whole
United States who ever ordered any
goods from these concerns. The state
ment Is made In an effort to make the
consumer believe that lie can buy as
cheaply as his local merchant can.
But printed matter that will Bell
goods is within the power of almost
any local retailer. Most all the expert
advice is little more than empty gen
eralizing about nonessentials. It is not
literature, remember, hut advertising,
that you want to write. Knowledge of
words and type and the ability to
write flne introductory paragraphs and
striking headings are not to be de
spised. of course, but the facts, not
fancy ways of saying them, are what
induce tbe people to spend their money
in the local stores.
The merchant's knowledge of Ills'
store, his goods and the people Is more
than an offset for any lack of ability to
colu catchy plirnses or to use technical
language In telling the printer how ho
would like to have bis advertising
look.
When the merchant sits down to
write his ad. he should imagine that,
his hardest customer to sell to is seat
ed on the other side of his desk. He
should write what bis talk would, be
if be were determined to make a sale
to that customer when In tbe most ob
stinate of moods. He sboald write it
all down, then lock it in his desk for a
few hours, later cut out all the super
fluous words and print the facts with
out any trimmings.
Personality Brings Trade.
The nearer the local merchant can
come to making bis advertising sound
like bis talk tbe more effective it will
be. Personality is wliat brings and
holds trade; personality secures to your
competitor trade likewise difficult to
wean away from him.
The modern retail merchant must
make sure that his displays In bis win
dows and in the store itself are such as
will interest women. A general vari
ety ought to be shown, with prices
clearly Indicated In plain figures. Hake
inspection easy and then let shoppers
inspect undisturbed, for in this man
ner many new wants will be developed
in th'e minds of tlio shoppers. Tbe
merchant or salesman who stands over
a shopper and attempts to press a sale
invariably annoys the customer and
kastens his or lier departure.
Tbe merchant who has not advanced
with the times must come to a full real
lzatlon at once that many changes are
necessary before be can bope to com
pete resultfnlly with retail mail order
houses, and tbe: first and principal
change is the manner In which his
stock is displayed, and la the process
of this arrangement be must take into
consiBeratlon the fact that men have
almost completely ceased to figure in
tbe day to day purchases of household
tecessarles.

ed he got on a freight train at Mc
