IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
A popular Alliance man who be
lieves In advertising has handed in
the following observation:
"A duck lays an gg and waddles
off the nest. A hen lays an egg
and makes a dickens of a noise
over it. The hen believes in ad
vertising hence the demand for hen's
eggs."
MANY PIANOS SOLD
As a newspaper publisher the ed
itor of The Herald has observed for
many years the effect of newspaper
and other kinds of advertising. We
are frank to admit that there Is
some advertising done that does not
pay expense; but there is other ad
vertising that pays many times the
cost. Two things that are of prime
importance in selling, first, to have
the goods, and, second, to let the
people know by proper advertising.
One of the most successful adver
tisers is the Bennett I'lano company.
Readers of The Herald are familiar
with their advertisements that have
been published in this paper.
The celebrated Kurtzman pianos,
which they have been advertlsine
extensively lately, have been "going
like hot cakes," as will be seen by
reading the notice elsewhere in this
issue under the heading "Kurt .man
Piano Purchasers."
