TALK ON ADVERTISING :
- - e
By C W Post Jo Publishers at Banquet st Battle Creek
The sunshine that malms a business
plant grow is advertising
Growing a business nowadays Is
something like growing an apple-tree
You may select good seed plant it in
good soil water and work with It hut
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful energls--tar
td life-giving element Is brought
lo bear You must have sunshine aud
lots of it Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub-
lic favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant Is a good illus-
tration of that law It seems but a
short time ago when 1 put a few men
st work in the carriage bouse of the
ham you have seen to-day where we
began making Postum coffee
The seed then planted less than 9
years ago was a new kind of apple
seed and it was not altogether certain
how the people would like tbe apples
We did our work thoroughly and
plenty of It We knew we had a good
Pure Food Factories that
apple tree of One quality but how to'
develop our work and turn the apple
t-ee into a productive and profitable
tree was another question
It needed sunshine nnd the kind of
sunshine that Is spread by the news-
papers and magazines It Is an abso-
lute certainty that without tbe pub-
licity thus given— In other words tbe
sunshine— the business never would
have developed "
You have seen to-day factory build-
ings— thirteen or fourteen In number
—covering many acres of ground em-
ploying hundreds of workpeople pro-
ducing food and drink In na aggregate
of four million packages per month
which goes to every civilised country
on tbe globe and yet tbe entire enter-
prise Is less than 9 years old We
have found It necessary Inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma-
tured by hard work and sunshine to
continue the work End the sunshine
day In and day out month In and
month out the sunshine appropriation
amounting to approximately a million
dollars a year for advertising for ex-
perience tenches that If you mature
the tree tmdor strong sunshine and
bring It up to a thrifty and healthful
state where It prodtea profitable ap-
ples you esn not vJbdraw that sun-
shine else the tree will gradually die

Some thoughtful man might nay that
if what you manufacture haa merit
once you get a trade established peo-
ple will continue to purchase even if
the advertising is stopped hut to act
on that conclusion would be a fatal
mistake for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap
pies and if you give them tbe chance
lliey wilt ruuie la w4 tk I ha fruit
sure Right here let ue drive a nail
not a shingle ball but a forty penny
pike Your article must have merit
far and away beyon'd the ordinary on-
advertised thing it should be the '
very best that human Intelligence and
ingenuity esn produce Then you have
a foundation to build upon that will
not slip out from under when the
building grows heavy There are per-
sons Ignorant e'nough to believe that
a poor article can be advertised into
a success It cannot and any one wte
tries tbe experiment will pay heavily
for hie experience Critically examine
any well known nnd advertised article
that bas been years on the market and
Make Postum and Crape-Nuts
it will be found to possess exceptional
merit
In ancient days newspaper publish-
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but a necessary evil and that It
bould be bidden away as carefully
as possible so that no one would din-
cover that tbe paper waa trying to
make a little money by Inserting pub-
lic announcements A paper run that
way today would fall
Tbo most successful exponents of
the new plamof doing business with
Ink and paper are using every possi-
ble means to make tbe announcements
attractive and sought after by tbe
readers -
It Is safe to My that thousands ox
women read tbe newspaper— not the
telegrapkle page but the pages con-
taining announcements of bargains la
stockings skirts bate: gloves pianos
furniture food for the table ete
