"When times are dun and people are
not advertising," says John VVanamaker,
"is the very time that advertising should
be the heaviest." Such is the ad vice given
by America's merchant prince. Some
traders say it doesn't pay to advertise.
They think they know more than Wana-
inaker. That's where they make a big
mistake. Wanamaker s advertising has
made him rich and famous. anamak
er's methods on a smaller scale would be
as good in Kinston as they are In New
iorlc and i'hiladelphia. Turn over a
new leaf and advertise in The Kinston
Free Press.

. ing A. J. Loftin, attorney for propound
ers of the will, closed argument on the
case.
All the eieeches were good.
The argument of counsel closed at 11:15
o clock. liy mutual consent of counsel,
it was agreed not to review the evidence
in its entirety.
1 he judge then began his instructions
to the jury. The charge was an impar
tial, clear-cut one as to the facts to be
passed upon by the jury.
The case was given to the jury a few
minutes after 12 o'clock.

The Permanent Advertiser.
National Advertiser.
Advertising is an art that everybody
these days when so much and as careful
work is done in writing advertisements
as in writing editorials, says the Indian
apolis News. But advertising is also a
science. A high authority says: "Adver
tising should be planned on the presump
tion that it is going to be permanent
Thatit iaascientiflc statement. It means
that advertising should be systematic,
and not sporadic; that it is a distinct fea
ture and department, and should be so
administered. Announcements now and
then cannot bring a strain of steady ben
efits. They may do for spurt sales, but
when the sales run their course they are
orgotten.
On the other hand, like the continuous
dropping that wears away a stone, sys
tematic advertising in an artistic way,
day after day, year in and year out, be
comes a part of the reading matter of the
great newspaper. "You never miss the
water until the well runs dry."
Newspaper readers do not know, per
haps, now much entertainment and ben
efit they get from the advertising columns
until they think about it. Then they real
ize that all these merchants who, day
after day, talk to them through the news
paper columns are their friends and very
pleasant acquaintances, and they act ac
cordingly.
