a ADVERTISING!
Now that the holidays are approaching, we think a word
“to our merchants regarding advertising, will not go amiss.
We have noticed in. our may years of publicity experience
_ “that many, very many merchants putt off their holiday adver‘tismg until the last minute, just before the holiday rush and.
~are then surprised and disappoined that they fail to get results
“from their publicity work. Thet ime to ~ advertise for holiday
“trade is from 15 to 30 days before the opening of the holiday
“season. This gives.the reader of the advertisement time to think
-it over and make up his mind, and also gives the housewife an
-Opportunity to figure out ways and means for the purchase of
<articles desired.
-A great deal of psycology enters into the field of ad“vertising. All advertising is a matter of Suggestion, no matter
“how the advertising is done: The merchant that says he does
‘mot believe in advertising will spend hours fixing up his display
“window, placing in plain sight of the passer-by the most tempt<ing display of goods to be found in his establishment, but still
-he will insist that he does not believe in advertising whereas his
«display window is nothing more or less than a display adver“timement, and a good one, we will admit. All advertising, as
vwe have remarked before, is nothing more or less than sugges‘tion and newspaper advertisnig is the same thing. The only
“difference is that only a very small proportion of would be
‘purchasers see the window display whereas thousands see the
«advertiesment in the Newspapers, not only see them but read
_ and study them. This is the age of publicity and he who emiploys the best medium of reaching the buying public achieves
‘the greatest success. For many years newspapers furnished
‘the only means for carrying messages to the buying public but
ater, magazines and other publications entered the field and
“then came circulars and other means and finally has come the
“radio. :
The merchant who reasons that he is so well known that he
~does not have to advertise is courting a visit from the sheriff.
-Elderly readers of the Nugget will readily recall the days when
«st. Jacob's Oil, a remedy that was in the medicine cabinet of
=nearly every home in America some thirty years ago. It had
“been placed there by the excellence of the product aided and
sabetted by a great campaign of newspapr advertisising that
“extended over a period of many years. We can visualize their
=ads even up to this day. F inally the original owners sold out to
“some concern for a large fortune. The New owners of St.
Jacobs Oil reasoned that the product was so well known that
-further advertising was throwing away money and discontin“ued the use of newspapers space. Immediately, sales began to
“fall off and finally the new company went broke and now St.
Jacob's Oil is only a memory. Cgpntless others have met with
tthe same fate. and yet others, who persist in following the
same cours will fall by the wayside. Many merchants say
business is too poor to advertise-” The live merchant does his
advertising BEFORE selling the goods to be_ sold and not
-AFTER the goods are sold. He don’t need to advertise them
~safter they are sold. The way for a merchant to get more busi“ness 1s to go out after it by proper and consistent advertising
~and keep everlastingly at it and he is bound to get results.
Newspaper advertising brings buyers and sellers together

DEPRESSION BLAMED ON GOLD SHORTAGE
William. Jennmgs Bryan was ridiculed by all the orthodox
economists in the United States when he made his fight for
‘the standardization of ilver in his campaign for president in
1896, but if he were alive and making that same campaign today he would be acclaimed as a hero and crowned with glory.
It has become evident to all thinking men, not only in this
‘country but all over the world that we: haven't got enough
_scirculating medium with which to carry on the immense business of the world today, and that is not all, we haven't got
the gold bullion to store up and on which to base the issuing
vof either paper or silver money to any great extent. So, what
sare we going to do, asks FE. M. H. Lloydhead of the British
‘Empire Marketing Board and one of the leading commercial
saut"orities of England, who comes out flat-footed and declares
“the world wide depression is directly traceable to the lack of
‘money ard the scarcity of gold bullion.
~ Writing in the New Republic, he outlines the vicious circle
_ how at work as follows:
“Industry as well as agriculture is faced with a falling off
“in demand and a slump in prices. The workers in industry
‘cannot get enough money to buy. what they want from the
Yarmers because the farmers cannot get enough for their prouce to buy what they want from the workers in industry.”
éAnd there you go, around and around in a merry whirl that
no beginning and no ending. The remedy is so simple the
men” cannot see it. More money by increasing the value
. Simple, ain’t it?
d goes on to show that while the world production in
stuffs and raw materials has increased at the rate or three
duction has not exceeded one aind three-fourths per cent per
annum and is steadily declining: e
Why, we wonder, can’t the powers that, be at Washington
stabilize the price of silver for.the miner as‘ well.as he can
stabilize the price of wheat for the farmer? The silver bullion
will neither rot, mildew, nor burn up, while the wheat will do
all of these and more: This farmer stuff smells like class legislation to us.
Furthermore, while France and the United States have
greatly increased their gold stocks during this period practically
all the other countries of the world have suffered a depletion.
Hence the cramping results of a natural gold shortage has
been the result over most of the world.
During the past two months a strong sentiment has been
g’owing among the financiers of the country to raise the gold
ounce value to at least $25-an ounce or stabilize silver at about
75 cents the ounce.
