whether or not it means that Mr. and
Mrs. Choat will leave here, we do not
know, but we would rather believe
that it will not.

The fire gong called the hose com
pany into action on Friday night last
to quench a fire which had started in
the old building formerly occupied by
A. M. Horton for a harness shop.
The fire evidently started in the floor
at the base of a boiler used by the
cream company. The fire had burned
through the east wall when discovered
and was shooting flames up between
the buildings, but was soonundei con
trol. As usual at similar fires the
greatest damage was done by water
j and wreckage. Max Venger, who oc-
jcupies the west half of the building as
a store house, suffered considerable
damage to his goods from water.
And the fire occured on Friday night
1 again, which causes the Leader to
suggest that the city dads appoint a
lot of extra watchmen to serve on
. Friday nights.

Put "Punch" Into Your
Advertising.
When you are attacked by some one
who wants to do you bodily injury, if
you are the average American man.
you straighten out your body and give
him a straight hit from the shoulder
that lays him out a candidate for
the hospital.
That is called a punch.
But there are other kinds of punch.
Every kind of human action originated
by a human being may be strong or
weak according to the energy put into
it by the person. The effect of those
actions on the rest of the world, or
on any particular person, when those
actions make a deep and paralizing
impreession, is called punch. We talk
about the punch of a theatrical play,
meaning the strong permanent blow
of its action on the feaJings of the
audience. A story has princh and the
most ordinary clerk in your store can
give punch to his daily work and life
that will leave a lasting impression
on the people with whom he comes in
contact. It is punch that makes you
successful without punch you cannot
even hope to start on the road to pros

When you look carefully over the

will find innumerable instances of

was built on it. as much as on their

Many men and women believe all
that is necessiary to secure success in
life is to conceive an idea and carry
out the actions in connection there
with along well defined rules. They
even become imitative and follow the
rules laid down by the great men and

the road to failure. No matter how

er and more favorably than all pos

As you already know, there are four
points to a successful advertisement
that must be made operative before it
can be successful. It must capture
the attentaion of the prospective cus
tomer; it will have to create interest
in his or her mind and it must after
wards bring conviction that the goods
are what they are represented to be
and that they are needed by the pros
pect. Lastly the advertisement must
cause the actual purchase of the goods.
Any man who has studied advertis
ing closely can very easily combine all
these principles in some sort of a way,
but it requires an exprt to combine
them successfully.
A salesman in your store may eas
ily apply all the rules of selling to
the customer that comes in but he may
not be successful through lack of
forcefullness punch. It is the same
with an advertisement. You need
punch the appearance of forcefull
honesty and convicting power in the
wording and expression of the ad to
bring the results that you have a right
to expect from it.
It is punch that makes all the
difference between success and failure
in the advertisement of our greatest
retailers It is punch that will bring
success to you through your announce
ments aid unless you are abble to in
corj)orate punch into them you may as
well do no advertising at all.
The best way to get advertisements
that have not only the necessary punch
but that are constructed in every way
to bring results is to buy syndicated
advertising service. This service is
offered in a series of 52, one adver
tisement for each week in the year.
Each ad is supplied along with an at
