' ' Mow It Sounds. Did you, Mr. Merchant,' when you write your advertisement; ever stop to think how it will sound to the reader? Do you ever stop . to eliminate vthe superflous state ments, or correct those which might tend to create a wrong im pression? Are you' conscientious and truthful in your advertising, making only those promises and agreements which" you can andwiil live up to? Is yo -r advertisement definite, that is, can it be constru ed to mean several ; things? Is it plain, that is, will your readers un derstand it as you understand it? The fact that' many merchants write their advts., in a hurry is evidenced Tby the" careful perusing of a few of them. It is a matter of regret that an apparently sane man would advertise "a car load ' of "fresh" salt, thereby coupling5 two opposites in a manner misleading as well' as unsatisfactory: 1 Salt is never fresh in anysense ' Another man does not hesitate to announce that he deals ; in "clean" coal.: No comments - are necessary, nevertheless some other word would express the desired information more advantageously than clean. i. ;: ; A town board advertises ; for "sealed bids to make a board walk on Fayette street" "Make a board walk," is good; but for ' "sealed bids to make a board walk; caps the climax.
