The use of illustrations in advertising is becoming more and more general and more and more intelligent. T: e English are great admirers of what they call "blocks" in their advertising, and have always used I mor ° an< * better illustrations than Americana The stiff, old, stereotyped wood cut, represent ing a watch, or a shoe, or a trunk, has been out of PrTvfrv usu with us only a few years. Such cuts are used 1 even now in many places. I am not sure that Wanamaker originated the r-fi \ usc ur '' st ' c outline cuts in advertising, but it is I certain that the Wanamaker cut 3 have had a greet influence on advertisement illustrating. Their chief merit lies in the fact that they 6how v the article pictured as it looks in actual use. If tho ft advertisement is about shoes, the picture Is of a man II \\\./ pigling on an easy shoe, or of a dainty, stylish j \\\ j woman lifting a pretty and shapely foot. Stef li \\ / *§s The illustrations are always suggestive and iOsftT* Hi I may as well say here that 1 do not think much ar of tho alleged humorous cuts that are used moro or less all over tho country—tho ones which run to puns j lit y,and "cutencss." They may attract attention, but \ attracting attention isn't tho best an ad can do. A comic cut isn't convincing. It doesn't tell anything, | or prove anything, about the man or the goods ' advertised. adumiy u.<i<».anafrtttyjjot. j don't believe such ads sell goods. The I'nglish idea is very largely the use of some pretty picture, irre spective of its subject, or its relation to the thing advertised. The idea in this caso a'.so is to attract attention. I think it is wrong. A cut should ih. be used merely to illustrate the advertise- t ment, and not as the advertisement itself. >* * Illustration should be subordinate. In ordi- jfc ktmJk 6 nary, daily newspaper advertising the cut 1 jjy¥'j shotild be small. I like outline cuts about \ - V an inch to ail inch and a half wide with Xf^J reading matter set down one side. A A Mwif MJ Generally speaking, I would not have more than three display lines in the ad, S&, and more often only two—the head line *^ and the name of the advertiser. And the nam,; should be smaller than the head fIKE FURNITURE, RUGS, FRAMED I PICTPRES AND DRAPERIES. Copyright, Owrlet Austin Bates, Nrw York. "A ctmit cut isn't (amymdne.",. 112
