USES NEWSPAPERS ONLY
I never in my life used such a
thing as a poster or dodger or
hand-bpl, says John
in the Wool and Cotton Reporter
My plan for twenty years has been
to buy so much space in a newapa- i
per and fill it up as I wanted. 1|
would not give an advertisement
in a newspaper of five hundred
circulation for five thousand dod
gers or posters.
If I wanted to sell cheap jewelry
or run a gambling scheme I might
use posters, but I would not insult
a decent reading public with hand
bills.
The class of people who read
them are too poor to look to sup
port in mer cantile affairs. I deai
directly with the publisher. I say
to him;
“How long will you iet me run
a column of ma s ter through your
paper for SIOO or $500?” as the
case may be, I let him do the fig
uring, and if I think he is not try
ing to take more than hie share I
give him the copy. I lay aside the
profits on a particular line o’
goods for advertising purposes.
At first I laid aside S3OOO, last
year I laid aside and spent $40,000.
1 have done better this year, and
shall increase the sum as the pro
fits warrant it I owe my success to
newspapers, and to them I freely
give a certain profit of my yearly
business.
