THE SILENT EFFICIENCY OF
ADVERTISING.
One of the principal reasons
for the tremendous growth of
modern advertising is its unob
trusive efficiency.
Salesmanship through the per
sonal presence of one man or
woman talking to another indi
vidual often suffers much from
the obtrusive personality of the
seller. It is a tine art to sell
goods. Few are trained to do it.
just right.
One1 person lacks the '.self-as
surance to push his arguments
to the point of persuasion. Wear
ied by the persistent reluctance
of the customer, his initiative
fails. The customer leaves the
store unsatisfied.
Life in a retail "store for the
clerks is a long series of trying
contacts. The doubt and inde
cision of the customers, their in
ability to know their own minds,
irritate the clerks. They become
grouchy, the customer gets in
dignant, and the result of the lit
tle till" is that the buyer goes off
angry, not to return.
One great trouble is that it is
hard for customers to make up
their minds what they want on
the spur of the moment. They
naturally hesitate before spend
ing money. The salespeople do
not, always have sufficient pati
ence with this hesitation.
Selling goods by the newspaper
advertisement has the IremVn
dous advantage that the human
personality does not affront the
person whose patronage is so
licited. The advertisement nev
er wearies the customer, and is
never officious. Printer’s ink is
never tired of telling its story.
If the prospective customer hes
itates, she can read over the'
facts and figures for twenty times
until she gels some idea what she
wants, where the clerk in the
store would become snappish if
he is asked the same question
twice.
The newspaper advertisement
finds people in the mood n£ think
ing about purchases. They lake
up the paper in the quiet of their
homes, compare the offerings of
the merchants a’f their leisure.
It is merely up to the merchant
1o see that the questions natur
ally to be expected are fully an
swered.
Hence it is that, a large pro
portion of tin' sales of modern
merchandise are practically made
to people before they leave their
homes.

THOROUGHLY SOUND AT THE
CORE.
“The general wave of criticism
which has been teweeptng over
the country undoubtedly has
brought to light many weakness
es of men whose virtues have
been concealed,” said Secretary
Bryan in one of his recent lec
tures in which he plead for less
muck-raking and a larger meas
ure of frank, honest, heart-to
heart consideration of conditions
of men and measures on their
merits rathjy- than upon their
faults. Mr., jfryan declared that
there had befii so much criticism
of men in/"official life that the
people were beginning to believe
that on,r ^institutions and our
method of government are all at
fault.
Tin* situation i$ not as bad as
some of the critics, particularly
those disappointed by recent po
litical events would have 'us be
lieve. Our public officials are
all belief- lhaln. they might be.
The public conscience is thor
oughly awake. Our form of gov
ernment is not perfect. II was
evolved by imperfect men. It was
built out of that chaos of his
tory 1ml it is a plan of govern
ment that for more than a cen
tury has preserved the nation
from the dangers of m oboe racy
and the terrors of despotism. It
has steadily improved human
conditions.
