PUBLICITY WHICH PAYS. ‘
It may be deemed a trifle egotistical

‘11) boom the cause of newspaper ad-
vsrtislng, but we cannot refrain from
printing here a little incident which
Illustrates not only the value of ad-
vertising In a clean family paper ,but
" . the necessity of “sticking to it." The
story comes from Mr, Loft. the wealthy
‘oandy dealer, who tells his own ex‘
perleuce as folioyvs:
“I put my first advertisement In the
Evening Journal. and. paid 87.50 for It.
i put it in on Friday and advertised a
special sale of candy for Friday and
Saturday. ‘So far as i could see. i
got absolutely no results. On the fol-
Ioiwug Friday 1 placed another similar
advertisement in the Journal, and got
no results. . Realizing, however, that
to make pancreas of advertising I
must stick to it. i placed the third ad-
vertisement In the Evening Journal on
the following Friday and Saturday I
saw an increase in my business. Fol-
lowing my fourth advertisement, I In-
creased my business largely, and fol-
lowing my fifth advertisement 1 almost
. doubled my Saturday business. From
‘~. that time on, my business has increas-
: ed steadily. .
"For a long time i confined my ad-
vertising to the Evening Journal, At
the end of the first year my business
had increased from 830.000 to $60,000.
At the end of the second year it had
1 increased from $60,000 to $120,000.

ness of over $1,000,000.”

foolishness by building a school that
