RELIANCE ELECTRIC CO. How To Advertise and What It Costs A little lesson in advertising is given in the resulta of the performance of Willowdale under the auspices of the Girls' Community League at the Methodist hurch last night. The only advertising of this performance was don in the Daily-CuledonianRecord and the Weekly Republican. No window cards were fcrced on merchents to destroy the good appearance of their Windows; no fliers were distributed to clutter up our utreets; rio flashes were thrown on the sereens at theatres; no billboards were used to spoil the ordeiiy appearance of our town; no circular lettera were sent out to clutter up the mails and fili the waste baskets. In 'fact, the only mediums used were direct hit, surei firc, recognized advertising modiums that are GUARANTEE1) TO DELIVER THE GOODS in every home in St.

Johnsbury and a good proportion of the homes of Noitheastern Vermont. What was the result? The $13.28 spent in advertising brought an audience of over 500 paid admissions. It was a croweied house. Every seat in the big assembly hall was taken and over 50 people had to stand. The advertising cost about fwo and one-half cents per person.

That is, out; of the 35 cents admission, one and four-tenths per cent, went to advertising. The successici mcrchants, figurod two per cent, of his gross sales for advertising. The gross receipts for the entertainment were over $150 and the Girls' Community League will net over $100 from the performance. You will agree that this was a great success. Those who have experience with newspaper advertising know that it produces direct results.

It is a very exceptional atti-action that needs any of the supplementary advertising to go with the newspaper campaigns to get results. The Caledonian-Record and Republican have a staff of nve experienced advertising writers wno are at your service at uh liines. If you are putting on a locai play or any attractions and want the maximum results for a minimum of expense come to the Caledonian-Record onice and we will gladly give you the benefit of our best advice. And more than that we will be giaci to show you real results for the money expended.
