The"dead wood”—unprofitable mediums—in lists used by ad vertisers who have transferred their accounts to Lord& Thomas in the past year, has proved to be as high as 33per cent in the light of the Lord & Thomas Record of Results. T HIS 33 per cent of “dead ■wood" was counter-acting: or offsetting profitable results from another 33 per cent of the list, leaving the cam paign limping along on the remaining 34 per cent of publications. Even so, in many cases, the advertising had been considered successful. But WE do not consider an advertising campaign successful until it has reached the greatest possible measure of success. We do not consider a list of advertis ing mediums safe to use fqr our clients until each publication has been “MEASURED" by the actual results tabulated in the Lord & Thomas Record of Results. This Record of Results is a compilation of weekly confidential reports on returns from all good newspapers and other media sent us by those of our clients who have a direct check on their advertising. By comparing what each medium IS ac complishing,we can foretell whatitWILL accomplish on similar propositions. So you see we have practically elimi nated the element of chance in adver tising, by making it unnecessary to experiment (with consequent waste) in questionable copy and mediums. We ask an opportunity to explain to you, personally, and in detail, what the . Largest Advertising Agency in America —with all its experience—is ready to do to earn advertising success for you, rather than to win it on a speculation with your money. One of our representatives is in your city every few days looking after the interests of some of our present clients. That is why we are advertising in this newspaper—to you—NOW.

Medicine so Beneficial to Brain and Nerves. and five children. TRY A WANT AD IN TEi. GEORGIAN Lying awake nights makes It hard to keep awake and do things In day time. To take “tonics and stimulants" under such circumstances Is like setting the house on fire to see It you can put It out. The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wldt awake Individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Orape-Nuts, and says: "For about three years 1 had been a great sufferer from Indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop oft pota> toes, then meat, and so on, but In a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. “When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely. My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since ustnk Orape-Nuts she Is well, and says she don't think ahe could live without It. "It Is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as In tbe old days when-1 could not realise wbat they meant by a 'bad stomach.' There Is no medi cine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." ■■ .
