HOW ADLETS MADE
CHICKEN FARM PAY
Classified Columns Used Exclu
sively by Young Man to Build
Up Business.
"Perhaps you wouldn't think there
could be a close connection, between
a poultry business and want ads,"
says Edward S . "but I have used
classified advertising from the tlipe I
first piade-up my mind to go Into the
business until I was well established
in it, and I will use them to a greater
extent In the future.
"I was born on a farm and lived In
the country until I was sixteen. Then, .
like msfty other young fellows who
don't know when they are well off, I
went to town —and a few years later
was trying like all possessed to get
back to As country. With me It was
not a case of wanderlust or dissatis
faction, or of wanting to be some place
else no matter where I was —it was
simply a case of being lured by the
glamour of the town while young and
of awakening to the value of the coun
try life as soon as I gained mature
judgment.
"Perhaps J was luckier n most
city men who dream ot enjoying the
calm life of the country, or perhaps I
was more In earnest in my efforts to get
| on to the land, but I was back In the
I country by the time I was thirty.
I Many of the town men who planned
with me to live on a farm in our old
age still are talking of the delights of
1 the simple life while they drink creme
de cocoa, listen to the orchestra and
spend the money tfiey should be sav
ing.
Less Capital for Chicken Farm.
"While in town I leaned the trade
of carpenter. This, as you will readily
see, aided me when I went back to the
farm. From this fact also you will
gather that I received good wages, Wit
never exceptionally large pay. In- '
deed, many of my acquaintances who
orated loudly on the Joys of the simple |
life were drawing larger salaries than
I, but today they have nothing to show
for this money.
"From the start I had set a certain
sum as the amount to be saved before
I again would tackle the farming
game. At that time I had in mind a
farm of at least eighty acres on which
I would do general farming—raising
corn, oats, wheat, clover, pigs, and
perhaps a few steers. But soon my
ideas grew more moderate.
"After considering the matter, I de
cided it would take far less capital to
start a chicken farm, orchard or truck
farm than a "regular" farm. Not need
ing so much money, naturally I would
be able to get on to the land while
younger, while I still had many years
of good work in me. Furthermore, the
more I looked into the matter the more
it seemed to me that a small, lntens;
ively cultivated ylace ought to bring
almost the same net returns as a Urger
place on which the old-fashioned sys
tem of farming was in vogue.
"About the time that I had fully de
cided to try out a small farm the want
ad for the first time entered into my
scheme of life. I had gotten Into the
habit of scanning the want ad columns
dally from picking out small farms to
rent or for sale In the garden spots of
the country—each and every one a
'garden spot' Incidentally—and one day
I ran across what struck me as a par
ticularly good proposition to the 'farm
help wanted' classification.
Inducements to Help.
"Perhaps In order to explain the
cause of this exceptionally good offer
I ought to tell of the conditions that
existed In our neighborhood, less than
150 miles from Chicago. At that time
many of the farmers were finding dif
ficulty In securing good 'hired hands'
—they are yet, in fact The young un
married fellows were apt to be lured to
town by the magnetlo - power of the
'movies' and other amusements, or in
duced to go west by the stories of Urge
wages prevailing in the newer lands
of the western country.
"Fanners had found by experience
that the married men were steadier,
not nearly so likely to find fault w
trifles and leave without warning, Ant
that when more than one family lived
in one house the two or more Mrs.
; Hired Hands engaged in spirited do
bates—with words, fists and flatirons
1 —rather than butter making. For this
> reason, therefore, one of the progrsss
' Ive farmers ot the neighborhood—a
dairyman who especially needed mllk
. ers—had built several tenant houses.
Each of them stood in a small plot of
' ground on which were set out a few
' fruit trees, a truck garden was laid
out and a chicken yard built This
! farmer then made a proposition to
' married farm workers to allow them
- the use of this plot is addition to their
i salary if they would agree to stay on
i the lob* for a year.
i 1 have forgotten the exact wording
. of the ad that attracted DM, but the
. gist of It was that a farmer had built
a new tenant house in a peach orchard
that he bad Just set oat and wanted a
| married man to live la It.

' farmer when I Interviewed him, U I

"The Sunday following tbe day on

- that of the nearby farmers. Hie new

reeult In email profit for him. To pro
tect the fruit from polite marauders, he
wished to install a man in the little
live-room house he had built in the or
chard.
"At that thne I had some money
saved up—not enough to buy even a
email farm but enough to start a chick
en business If.l rented the land. I
looked the peach orchard over and
then made this proposition:
"I would rent the land and the house
from the farmer, paying a small rent,
because I was to guard the orchard
and was to get none of the fruit from
the trees—l simply wss to use the land
for my chicken farm. I would build
small colony houses for the chickens—*
houses that could be moved about and
small enough to go between the rows
of trees. Although I was not married,
the farmer could depend upon my
'sticking,' for otherwise I would not in
vest my money. If at the end of a year
or later we disagreed, the farmer was
to buy my houses at a fair valuation,
or If ws could not agree on a price I
would cart them off.
More Work for the Want Ad.
"My next move was to get some
chiokens—for in starting I confronted
the proposition which was to come
first, the hen or the egg. I decided
that It would be cheaper for me to buy
an Incubator and eggs rather »than
grown chickens.
"Then I got busy with the want ad
again. I advertised for a second-hand
Incubator and got one. I had excep
tional luck in buying eggs by means of
the want ad.
"As you may know, It is hard to buy
eggs of thoroughbred chickens for five
dollars a hundred —that, Indeed, Is
about the lowest price. I had decided
to raise light Brahmas, and among the
answers I received to my ad was that
of an old farmer who had light Brah
ma eggs to sell at three dollars per
hundred.
"The reason for this small price
was that this farmer was a man over
eighty years old. He lived with his
daughter and nephew on his old place
many miles out in the wintry and
had no one to send to town, i He there
fore preferred to sell eggs jat three
dollars per hundred on the firm rather
than at five dollars per hundred Jn
town. . For 40 years, he said, he had
raised nothing but light brahmaa. but
he had not exhibited his fowls at poul
try shows. He had fine, big, thorough
bred chickens, but no blue ribbons or
newspaper clippings.
"I drove out to the old man's farm
In a borrowed buggy, and loaded It up
with eggs. The want ad In this, case
saved me six dollars every time 1 set
my incubator, as the machine held 300
eggs.
They Sold the Goods.
"Having found -vant ads such hsrd
working friends I decided to use them
to sell my goods. Whtn, therefore, I
had baby chicks to sell I ran ..his ad:
"If you want some baby beauties,
order a basketful of light Brahma day
old chicks from E. 8., —— Rural Route
"Now, I haven't the slightest Idea
whether my ads ware well written or
not lam Inclined to think they were
a trifle too flippant But whether well
written or not, they show ths valus of
the want ad In the chicken business,
for not oae of them missed flre,
"From mi first ad I received mors
orders than I was willing to All—l
wanted to sell only a few baby chicks.
The following ad, which 1 need when
the chickens wore at the broiler sge,
also brought me an excess of orders:
"'For a chicken what is a chicken
write B. IK? 1 * »•'
"Later 1 ran this ad and could have
sold every one of my youai rooeters If
I bad been wining to part with them:
- 'For great big youngsters, eight
months old and nlae pound* big. writ*

"This ad was run under tbe classifi
cation 'Young Roosters for Bale,' so
that I did not have to wssie a word
telling what tbe great big youngsters
were.
Little Ad Cleaned Him Out
"This last ad practically cloaned out
every chicken I bad to sell. I then
went Into the market, bought Sny kind
of a good-looking chicken—whether
thoroughbred or not—fed It carefully
for a time, dressed It when ordered,
aad sold it by meaas of the following

ADVERTISING NOT A SCIENCE
No Two Propositions Are Alike and
for Thla Reason Standardization
Is Impossibls.
In a talk before the Buffalo Ad club
Truman A. DeWeese, director of pub
licity for the Shredded Wheat com
pany, gave bis views on news
paper advertising. Mr. DeWeese bad
this to say: "Advertising Is not a
science because no two advertising
propositions are alike. You cannot
standardize advertising. You cannot
guarantee that a Certain definite num
ber of subscribers to a newspaper
will read a certain advertisemeirt, nor
can you guarantee the kind of Im
pression that It will make on these
readers; neither ts It possible to come
to any agreement ss to the value of
newspaper or magaslne circulation.
"Advertising Is an art It calls for
the genius of ths writer, the sketch
artist and the salesman. If literature
Is an art, than sdvsrtising is surely
sn art—although advertising Is not
lltersturs. The writing of successful
sdvsrtising calls for a combination of
litsrary talent and merchandising
genius. „
"Advertising is the persistent and
consistent dissemination of informa-
tlon retarding a salable product. The
advertising must bsve news veins
If you are In a newspaper roar ad
vertislng'should not only hare news
value, but It should have a timellneas
that appeals to human Interest. It
should be as interesting and Instruc
tive to readers as any editorial or
news story In the paper. If It Isn't,
how are you going to attract the at
tention of readers? If you are adver
tising m a newspaper that enjoys the
confidence of Its readers—a paper
that is a true tribune of the people—
you must not fall to take full advan
tage of that relation by gradually ap
propriating the good will and confi
dence of the paper through honest ad
vertising and honest merchandising.
The newspaper Is the live wire of
Industrial and political activity; It Is
the motion picture of civilisation. The
advertiser ahould get on UM Dim that
Is world's publicity. He must have
a being reeled off In the white light
of the meesage each day that Is vi
brant with life and so vivid In IU ap
peal to human Interest that no reader
can skip it or overlook it."
