Major John Burke One of
Leaders in His Profession
One of the real old guard of press
agents .Is Major John Burke, who
has for a quarter of a century pio
neered the world ahead of Buffalo
Bill's big show. Jt la as unneces
sary to Introduce Major Burke to
an old Nebraskan aa It would be to
Introduce Bill Cody. Both are known
In these part as real men. Major
Burke modestly keeps himself on
the nA-paper firing lli.t handing
out stories to city ed'tors about the
manifold attractions of lbs Wild
West' show, or telling of some great
enterprise In which Colonel Cody
took part, but never a ord about
John Burke. This mliit mlsla1
some folks, but In these parts are
those who know of ma.iy incidents
In which John Burke has been the
central figure that are as exciting
and Interesting aa any his great
chief In the show world took part In.
Majos Burke was a real Indian
fighter In the days before

many friends among the BIoux In

were agents at "tandlng Rock and Pine Ridge. And. on the other hand, Major
Burke Is aa well known and as welcome In Washington or New York as he
Is on the reservation, while in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Vienna and other
capitals of th old world he Is greeted as a pal by men whose titles awe their
fellow countrymen. This cosmopolitanism has given to the genial major a
Buavlty and a polish that is Irresistible and makes him a wonder In hla way
and the envy of ths younger men who are coming up in Ms profession. He has

Oa After Rec raits to Make

This Fall.
r
That S,000-membership dream which Sam
son, lord high chamberlain to his majesty,
King Ak-flar-Ben XVI. has been harboring
In his ministerial bosom since the first of
the year seems now to be practically as
sured of realization. Monday night at the
den the paid membership was announced
at 1,462. Within a few days an up-to-the
minute volunteer recruiting squad, with
"Dad" Weaver at its head, will start out
on, the enlistment Into the ranks of too
volunteer knights.
The vointeer recruiting squad, which is
really a hustling committee, although Sam
eon refuses to designate them by any name
ao bourgeois. Is to be mads up of ten mem
bers, although ths personnel has not yet
been made public. "Dad" Wsavsr Is chair
man and general-ln-chlef of the field
forcea.
Tha reason (or the extra effort ilea In
the fact that Bamaon is spending closs to
$10,000 this yesr on remodeling the den.
Much of this ha been paid for. The new
roof Is on and the walls are completed,
but a new floor is needed and ths money
is not at hand. Also ths heating plant Is
badly In nsed of repair. Although that
part of the Institution has lain In dlsuae
for years, the new den will be beatable.
. efficient Advertiser.
If anyone ever doubted the efficacy of Ak-Sar-Ben
as an advertising medium for the
city, a visit to Samson's office Monday
morning would have entirely convertad
him. On a large table were spread out the
cards ot the visitors at the den for Mon
day night, when two national conventions,
a national tennis tournament and the west
ern handicap trap shoot were taken under
the king's mantle. There were over COO
cards sorted out among the various states
of ths vlsitora. Every state in the union
had Its own little stack, and soms were
not little.
While the sorting was In progress Joseph
A. Griffin of Syracuse, N. T., former
president of the Ka-Noo-No of that city,
came Into the office. Mr.'. Griffin statsd
that lis had stopped off In Omaha ex
pressly for the purpose of getting some
Ak-8ar-Ben ideas.
"I don't see how you Omahans get the
results that you do," he said. "All over

do of any other organization of Ha kind,

w. g. vm
To our every client our business ad
vice) is th most valuable service we
render.
Many can point to some single idea
which haa proved itself worth more
than all our commissions.
And a single suggestion, quite a num
ber of times, haa netted some client
over one million dollars.
This business of ours, while called
merely advertising, really involves the
whole science of making money.
Our ability to warn, to suggest and
accomplish, result from a rare experi
ence. For a good many years we have been
selling advisers to leaders in a thousand
lines.
With them we have met the count
less problems of selling. We have seen
them solved, both rightly and wrongly,
in a good many different ways.
We have watched the outcome of
every solution. Every mistake and suc
cess haa been analyzed.
Where most men learn from one busi
ness experience we have learned from a
thousand. And the lessons are all re
corded. For about every selling question that
ever comes up, the very best answer
men ever obtained is found in our
Books of Experience.
And our lives are too short to learn
all this' without gleaning from others'
experience.
From our wealth of experience we've
evolved .a new science, called Strategy
in Advertising. It consists of countless
idea which men have found profitable,
distilled into accurate rules.
It solves the best way to get wide dis-,
tribution, to avoid substitution, to
meet hard competition. r
It shows how to do quickly what once '
took years how to do cheaply what
once was expensive how to do safely
what once involved risk. .
It has made an exact science of ad
vertising, asjiearly as seems to be pos
sible. It haa formed the foundation of
all our recent auccesses.
We have now, for the first time, put
these ideas into print. And the book
that results is our greatest contribu
tion to advertising.
No bright man can read it without
adding to his powers.
Any man with a selling problem is
welcome to this book. And every such
man should have it. Our benefit will
lie in the higher conception it conveys
of this Agency's efficiency.
Cut out this reminder; put it in your
pocket. Then, when convenient, write
us for the book.
There lies the valuer the utter need
of efficient help in selling.
Mere advertisings mere force of at
tack rarely wins out under modern
conditions. It ,can never win out
against Strategy.
Advertising must be aided by many
clever maneuvers. It must be backed
by right methods and policies.
