REPRODUCTION OF AD November issue ot Dry Goods Jour nal, a national trade magazine, con tains a reproduction of a Journal ad of the Ladies Toggery published some time ago, together with an ar ticle dealing with the effectiveness of reader type advertising, such as the Toggery does regularly. In commenting on this type of ad vertising compared with illustrated display, the magazine says is affords a fine medium of contact and should ! merit widespread response (as it has in the case of the local store) on the part of the buying public. One of the things that makes any type advertising pay is regularity and in this respect the Toggery quali fies by having at least one of the reader style ads in each week often times twice. Mr. Busch has frequently express ed himself as exceedingly well-pleas ed with the results from his Journal advertising. QUOTABLE QUOTES THE ROW THE EDITOR HOES-1 I am confident that all newspaper editors will go to heaven. No matter how eloquently the editor may boost for the development and progress of his community, no matter how dili gently he may labor to build up his home county, no matter how loyally lie supports a friend in politics, ex tolls the virtues of a famous native son, stretches the truth to praise a local prima-donna-to-be, or gently lays a metaphorical wreath on the grave of a departed, he seldom hears a "Thank you." Rarely does anyone say, "Well done." Almost never does he hear, "We appreciated that." But let him make a slip. . . . W. Earle Dye in the Rotarian Magazine.
