Business Building. BY DUN DAS HENDERSON, Advertising Manager of the.C. E. Zimmerman Co., Chicago. *. jjf/ j sfi eiJ' J spciiffifcns ’•? Aiverlisiru* Service* o BY Tut CX. ZIMM? RM AN CO. CHICAGO- The question of changing the salesmanship or “copy” in your advertising space is an important one. It acts this way. Suppose you had a pile of some special goods for sale. Suppose you were determined to sell some of those goods to some particular custo mer. After you had asked tha customer to buy those goods would you, the next time you ap proached her, use exactly the same language and arguments? You know you would not. Yofl would hunt up new ideas to at tract her attention, new ways of convincing her and new methods to get her to buy. You must ap ply the same principles to your ad vertising. You must be contin ually hunting up ideas, new argu ments and new ways of attracting and holding attention. Salesman ship in newspaper space is just the same as salesmanship behind your counter. The trouble the ordinary store keeper is up against is securing this salesmanship on paper I have outlined. He can purchase adver tising space readily enough and so long as he buys enough space for a long enough period to make a successful display he has done all that the successful merchant can do in that respect. But when it comes to filling the space the question assumes a different shape. Advertisement constructing is a profession like medicine or law. When you are sick you go to a physycian. When your business wants toning up, why should you not go to a business doctor?—an advertising expert? There are on the market a number what are called Syndicate Advertising Ser vices. These can be obtained for as low as one dollar per week. They give you precisely the same service as is given to department stores and national advertisers by first-class individual advertising managers. These services are usually supplied in a series of fifty-two advertisements, one for each week in the year, together with fifty-two copperplate cuts of high grade illustrations drawn by high salaried artists. The adver tisements are constructed by writ ers of national reputation and with great experience, men who have made success for thousands of other retailers in the same posi tion as yourself. The low price charged for these advertisements is only made possible because of thousands of the same advertise ment that are sold to different merchants throughout the country. One only merchant in each town is allowed to use the service for his own trade, Particulars of the best of these “The Liver Pills act So Naturally and Easily.” Such a statement, coming from the cashier of a bank, shows what confidence responsible people have in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: . .. *‘l have used Dr. Miles’ Nerve anq J.lver Pills and also your ArttPPaln Pills, on myself, with good results. , The TJver Pills aht So 'tumi'rally and *0 easily that I .scarcely know that I have jtdken a pill. 'FrWjltently being troubled wlttf AfeaSdaclte I taka an Anti-Palp Fill ’.and get Immediate relief in every case.'’ - . A. 1., . Wilson, Sparta* 111. Mr. WU«»l r 'was for a number tof cashier’, of the First ' jhfatidnal I%nk r offXpart*. Dr. Mile*’ Nerve arid Liv<er Pill* are different from others. Mjany kinds of liver pills are “impossible”, .after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr, Milts’ Nerve and Liver Pills dp not ?ct by sheer force but in an easy; natural way, with out griping or pndue irritation. They are not habit forming. If ths first bottle fails to. benefit, your druggist will return the price. Ask him. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, lnd. syndicated advertising services may be had from the editor of this paper, and I earnestly advise you, as an up-to-date merchant, to get them at once: “The early bird catches the worm” is a true saying and it is nowhere better ex mplified than in this case; the retailer who uses a service of this kind here now will start himself on a near cut to independence and fortune.
