The First Requirements of
an Advertisement
When you sit down to write an ad
vertisement for that space in your
local newspaper, the first question you
should put to yourself, if you are one of
those men who want to see their ad
vertisements bring results, is, What
is the first requirement of this adver
tisement? I wonder how many men amongst
the tens of thousands of retail mer
chants throughout the Unitd States,
who are now doing advertising, could
answer this question satisfactorily.
Not many.
The first requirement of an adver
tisement is to attract attention. To
catch and hold the attention of a pos
sible customer necessitates something
in the announcement that is different
from the ordinary run of type matter
in the paper and also different from
that she or he wants
of the advertisement
what is said in it.

mg attention. One is by means oi a

may oe pianneu oy ine use oi pieniy oi
white space around and in the ad, and
one more means is the use of some
freak arrangement of the type matter.
Attention may also be got by a com
bination of all of these ways. But
there is still another way of attract
ing attention and that beats them all.
It has been found in small towns
and especially in dealing with goods
that sell mostly to women, that a good
illustration is the best means, not only
to attract attention but to hold it and
create interest in the rest of the ad
vertisement. The illustration should
have human interest and action should
as far as possible, enter into a it by
means of a figure of a man or woman
performing something or shown as
having done something, the result of
the "something" having been done
being depicted.
For a long time it was thought that
comic pictures were the best means of
attracting attention and many of the
readers of these lines are still of the
same opinion. While this may be so
to a very limited extent it has been
found that they do not create that de
sire to read the rest of the advertise
ment that is necessary to its success.
Alsojbecause they are comic they cause
laughter, which means that the amuse
ment extends to the contemplation of
the goods and even to the advertiser
himself. When an advertisement is
laughed at, it seldom carries convic-

ti n oi the advertsement mai creates
i erest and brings conviction. Pie
t -esof the "reason why" kind in ad
v. rtising are the latest evolution in
r ' ail publicity They have been used
f r a long time in successful national
advertising. A glance at the Satur
day Evening Post or any of the good
magazines will show this and it will
also piove another thing, that comic
pictures or caricatures are not usually
employed by those big advertisers to
exploit their goods.
Having settled in your mind that
good illustrations are the best and sur
est means of attracting attention to
what you have to sell througn your
newspaper, you will naturally go on a
hunt for those pictures. You may find
considerable difficulty in getting good
illustrations locally and when you do,
you will probably find the price to be
way above what you can afford to pay.
And to use a bad picture will be worse
than no advertisement. What are you
to do?
Here is the cure. The natural evo
lution of retail advertising has brought
into being one or two high grade con
cerns, backed by ample capital, who
are syndicating out this kind of illus
trations along with complete advertis
ing service. "Syndicating" means
this: those concerns pay large sums to
artists of high standing to draw pic
ures that suit your advertising and
employ advertising writers of national
reputation to get up matter to go with
the pictures. Those complete adver
tisements are sold in thousands of dif
ferent towns for use localy and, be
cause of this method of syndicating,
can be bought in a series of 52, one
for each week in the year, for as low
as one dollar per week with copper
plate electros of the illustrations.
Much of this latest style of advertis
ing has been classed as equal to the
best publicity that has made success
lo1 many of the big department stores
and national advertisers. At the top
of these columns will be found reduced
fa-' similes of those advertisements tak
er from a service of that class. This
M't of adverising is called Syndictaed
A vertising Service.
No merchant need be without the
1 1 -a means of successful advertising
v .:r he can buy illustrated sevrvice
at ) low a pric as this. It is now
m King success for thousands of re
1 1 1 -rs throughout the country and is
1 1 very latest in retail advertising.
Hemember always Mr. Retailer,
t"i it attention getting is classed as
iu it b( per cent of all retail adver
ti'h'g and when next you write anad
ve -liM-ment without using the best
ni ans to get that attention, you are
Iix s ng about GO percent of the entire
va-ue ol your announcement.
Full particulars of this kind of suc
cess building illustrated syndicated
advertising service may be obtained
from the editor of this newspaper.
Why be without the means of building
success for yourself, a means that has
already accomplished it for thousands
of other merchants in the same posi
tion as you are?

the necessity of cranking by hand. The plant consists
of a compact and powerful dynamo operated by the
engine of the car. The dynamo charges the storage
battery. For starting the engine, the dynamo is tem
porarily and automatically transformed into a motor,
the current to operate it being furnished by the storage
battery. To start the engine, the operator after taking
his seat in the car, simply retards the spark lever and
pushes forward the clutch pedal. This automatically
engages a gear of the electric motor with gear teeth in
the fly wheel of the engine, causing the latter to "turn
over," thereby producing the same effect as by the old
method of cranking. As soon as the engine takes in
charges of gas from the carbureter and commences to
O run on its own power, the operator releases the pres-
K sure on the clutch pedal, the electric motor geardisen-
X gages its connection with the fly wheel and the car is
J ready to be driven. The electric motor then becomes a
5 dynamo or generator and its energy is devoted to igni-
X tion and to charging the storage battery. The storage
X battery has a capacity of SO ampere hours and as soon
0 as that capacity is reached, automatically ceases. Prac-
cicai tests nave snown cnar. me storage cattery is oi
g sufficient capacity to operate the starting device and
X "turn over" the engine about twenty minutes, although
X it seldom requires more than a second or two. In fact,

quired. The storage battery also supplies the current l
for lighting. The car is equipped with two Gray & $
Davis electric head lights with adjustable focus, two
front side lights, tail light and speedometer light. The X
dynamo also supplies the current for ignition. Up to ?5
280 to 300 R. P. M. the ignition current comes from the v
storage battery; above that speed the current is direct 5C
from the dynamo through the high tension distributer X
to the spark plugs. For ignition purposes the dynamo 0
performs not only all of the functions of the most high- O
ly developed magnetos, but possesses even greater effi- K
ciency, having more flexibility and a greater range of X
action. When compelled to drive slowly in crowded $
thoroughfares, over very bad roads or on hills, with the
usual magneto, the driver may stall his motor because X
the magneto is not being driven fast enough to gener
ate current, and it becomes necessary to switch to the
battery if he has one. With the Cadillac system, if it
becomes necessary to drive so slowly that sufficient X
current is not generated the battery automatically cuts X
in. When the speed is increased the dynamo again C
automatically takes hold. It wholly obviates the neces V
sity of the driver's keeping constantly on the alert to X
prevent'stalling the motor. In addition to the ignition X
before described, the Cadillac is provided with the aux
iliary Delco system with dry cell current which has
proven so satisfactory in the past. The extra system is
separate and distinct, with its own set of spark plugs
anu in itsen is inorougniy eincient ior running tne car, i
entirely independent of the main system. The entire j
electrical plant has been designed with a view to com- J
pactness and efficiency. It is designed with the idea of J":
simplicity and positiveness. It is designed to obviate X.
to the greatest possible degree, the necessity of atten- X
tion. Above all, it does what it is designed to do. X

How Gold Plats Is Mad.
Talking oi silver gilt plate. It Is
oftcu spoken of as gold plate. One
hears of the gold service at Windsor
castle, of the gold plate owned by sov
ereigns of Kurope and by other per
sons in this country as well as abroad.
As a matter of fact, these so called
gold services are silver gilt, ami only
r a feu pieces of pure gold are owned
by the Iluglish crown or any other
crown. It may interest our readers to
learn how this lire, mercurial or water'
gilding- for it fc known bj- all of these
three names is done. Pure gold and
mercury are mi::ed into a paste. The
silver article to be gilded has been
chemically cleaned, is rubbed all over
with this paste, which has been placed
in a silk bag. just as the blue used in
washing i put in a bag. When the .
piece of plate has lieeii rubbed over
it is perfectly white. It is then put
hito an oven, and gradually the mer-,
eury goes oT in fumes, leaving on the
article a deposit of pure gold, which
has practically Ijecome one with the
piece of silver and will last for centu-,

Untimely Death Often Prevented
Countless mistakes have been made by medical men - innocent vic
tims have paid the penalty for each. On the other hand, countless suc
cesses have resulted from expert diagnosis. To know the errors of those
who failed to know the methods of those who won increase the chances
of successful treatment.
For many years, we have been closely connected with leading Spe
cialists of every school of practice. We have interchanged ideas, we
have been co-workers in all that concerns the art of healing. Besides
this mass of experience, we have the combined knowledge of each of our
own Specialists. They constitute our "Medical Advisory Board," and
deepseated or complicated cases are submitted to them. The result is
evident. It means better diagnosis, better treatment and less expense.
Advice will be given without cost to all who mail the following coupon.
