THE PORTABLE WATCK
It tVim l rnhnhljr First I'urd ' In the
Klxtrrnth Century.
There Is uncertainty as to when the
portable watch , ns we understand It to
day , came Into use. It was probably
at the close of the sixteenth century.
Queen Elizabeth owned a large num
ber of watchprt. Mary , queen of Scots ,
win * the possessor of a skull shaped
watch. In fact , the "death's head"
pattern was at that time much In
rogue. Endless were the styles , for
there were watches shaped like books ,
pears , butterflies and tulips. Th
Nuremberg egg was a special shape
nd was tlrst made In lliOO. Those
Queer shapes of watches prevented
their finding a place In the pocket.
'When was the fob first used In the
dress of man ? The German of fobja
"fuppe. " and It Is believed that It came
from England through the Puritans ,
"whose dislike for display may have
induced , 'hem to conceal their time
keepers from , the public gaze. " This
conjecture Is strengthened by the fact
that a short fob chain attached to n
watch of Oliver Cromwell In the Brit
ten museum is in point of date the first
appendage of the kind known. The
Watch Is a small oval one In a silver
case and was made about 1025 by
John Midnall of Fleet street.

Are You Satisfied With * the Busi =
ness You Do ?
There are , few business inon who
Would not Increase their trade If they
could dovlao moans to do It. Any
man would bo willing to pay a per
centage of the Increased profit for the
sake of maintaining the now stimu
lus. It Is a rare business man who
would not gladly hire an additional
salesman or sollcltor If , by so doing ,
<
that salesman or solicitor would In
crease the bulk of business so much
that the added profits would pay the
salary of the now man and leave sur
plus cash for the house.
A good salesman or a good solicitor
Is one who , by his skill in presenting
the selling points of the goods at hand ,
is able to inako sales which otherwise
would not bo inado. If a high-salaried' '
salesman did not sell things which ,
wcro It not for his presentation , would
not othcrwlso have been sold , ho
would earn no mure money for his
employer than nn ordinary follow.
And If it wore not possible to make
people buy things which , but for the
ealqsman's work , they would have left
unpurchased , then the simplest child
would bo as valuable In a store or In
an agency , as the clcvorost and most
oxporlcnccd professional. ,
An advertisement Is merely a sales
man or a solicitor , which talks to several -
oral thousand people at the same time.
An advertisement , like a human
.salesman , may bo so clover that It
will create a demand for the goods
and wonderfully increase the sales ;
or it may bo so commonplace , so un
skilled and so devoid of effective pres
entation that what it says will appeal
to none.
Advertising Has Come to Be a Science -
ence and a Fine Art.
An advertisement must contain rea
sons why the reader will nnd it to his
advantage to buy the articles adver
tised. An advertisement must be no
moro and no loss than a printed con
versation , suchas the salesman would
speak If ho were Calking , earnestly
and seriously , to a prospective buyer.
It can not ramble if it is to bring re
sults. It can not cover , In the same
line , two separate articles any more
than a salesman dare try to sell , In
the same breath , two different things.
It must be clean-cut ; rid of superflu
ous literature ; sharp'definite and con
vincing. |
No ad. will pay which is not so writ
ten as to create a demand for the article -
ticlo or articles advertised. Every ar
ticle advertised should bo set off , like
a newspaper article , in a department
of Us own , with a head-line calling at
tention to it and with its every selling
point brought out and exhausted just
as completely and as thoroughly as Is
his story written by n newspaper re
porter.
An Ad is News.
Every ad. is news , in its way. And
It must be written in just as Interest
ing a manner as is the news with
which it must compete tor favor , on
the same page. It must bo clever
enough to attract the attention of the
prospective buyer. Magazines today
are as thoroughly read in the advertis
ing pages as they are In the story
pages , for the reason that the ads. are
news , interestingly conceived.
The Heading is All-Important.
The heading of an advertisement
the smaller the more true , Is all-im
portant In the results which are to
be gained. The heading must be so
worded ns to attract the attention of
the person who Is Interested In that
particular and who , therefore , may
prove a buyer. A person aililcted with
sore feet will grasp at any tiny adver
tisement whose headline Indicates that
there Isrelief to bo found for those
pedal extremities. Likewise a house
keeper will follow down the wording
of any ad , which , In the bold-faced
head , indicates bargains for her de
partment bo it flatlrons , groceries
hot doughnuts or what not ,
CUTS , for this reason , are valuable
features of any ad. They Instantly
show the line of goods that are dls
cussed and attract the attention of the
desired ones. And a cut , for this rea
son-must pertain to the article ad
vertised , and must , , in Itself , Up able
to display points In the article > which
will create a demand for It. Any shoe
cut , for Instance , will denote that the
nd. tolls about shoes. But If the cut
Is a picture of a well shaped , stylishly
made , substantial ishoo , It will have a
tendency to create a demand for that
particular shoo , just as would the
words of a salesman who took time to
say that the shoe was of fine shape ,
ujl-to-date , hand-sewed and durable.
The so-callod "catchy" headings
which many business man have writ-
ten over their ads. , mon who have re
ceived no returns and quit Investing
In space because "it didn't pay , " nro
not effective. The reason is evident.
The general reader , who perhaps reads
the tlrst few llnoa from pure curiosity ,
quits in dlsgunt * And very frequently
the person whom It Is doslrod to In
terest , will never look at the ad. bo-
causa it does not interest him at the
outset. On a newspaper , the greatest
care Is taken to wrlto headlines which
will , nt the first glance , glvo the gist
of the whole story. If it is a baseball
article , therefore , the fan knows it
nt once nnd will road It The politi
cian will pass by. Dally papers pay
urge salaries for exports who do noth
ing but write , thcfso headlines. But
an advertiser will often head his dis
cussion with a line which says "Cold
Weather is Coming , " when it should
have been "Do You Need nn Under
shirt ? " The man in need might and
might not care whether cold weather
ho will road the lines that follow just i
*
was coming or not. It Is rlm-i
though , that If he needs nn undershirt
to sco what sort of bargain ho can se
cure. If he does ncod an undershirt
or If it. happens to bo a dentist's ad
that tolls him his aching tooth can bo
pulled painlessly ,
He Will Visit the Advertiser.
When he has done that , the ad. has
done its work. It is then up to the
clerks or the dentist to sell him every
thing in the building that ho can pos
sibly use. If they fail to do that , It
Is now salesmen that are needed and
not a different method of advertising.
If nothing but the goods advertised
were sold as thp result of an ad. , then
that ad. surely would not pay. It la
the profit made from additional sales ,
after the buyer has boon attracted to
the store which
Makes Advertising Pay.
That Is the reason why leaders can
bo offered , even at cost or nerhaps at
a loss , and still net the advertiser a
margin on the transaction. That is
why special sales pay , oven though
the specials are cut to bed rock. That
Is why advertising all of the time , every
ery day and every day , and with al
ways something newsy , clever , attrac- \w \
live to the taste and the purse of the '
reader , can be made to pay and to
pay well. It stands to reason that ad-
vortisjng MUST NOT BE SPASMOD
IC If It is to bring the best results.
If a baseball column In a newspaper
was printed but once a month , it is
easy to see why "fans" would not look
to that column when it did , periodical
ly appear. It logicaUy follows that a
housewife will not look at a certain
corner of the paper today for clothesN
pin bargains , If that corner contained
bargains but three times within a
year. The readers must be trained to
expect to find ads. worth' looking at ,
before the/ will take the time to do
it.
The People to Reach.
The people to reach , advantageously ,
are those who can get to the advertis
er , either by mail or in person , to take
advantage of the articles mentioned. *
Advertisers In Norfolk naturally de
sire to reach everybody in the city , all
of the farmers within a driving dis
tance from the city and other persons
In tributary territory who may visit
Norfolk. J
To the end of covering this identical
field , The News has been working for
years. It now does cover this Held
very thoroughly every day in the year.
The rural routes out of Norfolk , of
which there are five today , are reached
by The News just as effectually and as
thoroughly as are the homes in the
city. The farmers around Norfolk
read The News every day In the week
just as they used
to read weekly pa
pers. Their pan ers , containing local
nnd _ telegraph markets and news , are
delivered at their doors every day.
There is-no business In the world
which cannot bo stimulated by adver
tising. It will not oifly gain new pa
trons but it will increase the patronage
of former ones. Advertising is not
a venture. If used judiciously and
systematically it is bound to bring re
sults. There Is no other way .oyt of
It. It Is a commodity In which the
business man invests for the sako'ol
getting more put of it than he 'puts
into it. It is paying one dollar for the
purpose of making two or thr.ee and
many times more than that. , *
It Has Come to Stay. /
The uncertain period of advertising
has passed. As a business getter It
has como to stay and it Is grow.Lpg
more and more essential. Local'TO-
vertlslng will pay in any community ,
large or small , if It la done , on a sci
entific basis. Done" in haphazard
fashion , It is now , always has boon < t-
and nlwavs will be a waste of money. It'
The r
business man who advertises In *
the right way , Is bound to Increase his
business. The business man who la
not content to run along , year after
year , In the same channel nnd never
grow In trade , will find advertising the
surest , quickest nnd most dependable
method of satisfactory growth. And
newspaper advertising is the moat
economical ia the world today because
through this
medium
moro
people nnd
more territory can be reached , nnd in
an Interesting way at that , than in
any other method that can bo devised.
