LONG CAREER OF
ANNIE YEAMANS
Actress Who Died Recently Had
Been 66 Years on Stage.
HAD PART IN MANY OLD SHOWS
WHAT ADVERTISING DOES.
Mnny persons hnvo tho Idea that
advertising only pays soap manu
facturers, breakfast food makers and
department stores, says tho Harrls
hurg Telegraph.
"It is a good thing," they say ad
miringly enviously but they seem
unable to grasp tho fact that it
would be a great thing for THEM.
Henco tho more or less restricted
character of advertising to-day. Tho
"llttlo fellow" hesitates to "butt In"
on tho big fellow's game, unmindful
of tho fact that tho big fellow was
a llttlo fellow once, and that ho grow
big through recognizing and utilizing
the strength of advertising.
John Wanamaker, for exmple, af-'.
tor delivering his first dry goods or
der in a wheelbarrow, went to the
Philadelphia newspaper ofllces and
spent tho entire amount a llttlo
over ?100 in advertising. Ho frank
ly attributes his great success to that
$100, and to the aggressive adver
tising policy which ho then adopted
and has since adhered to without
variation.
There Is no business or profession
no occupation requiring public sup
port, assistance for co-operation in
which advertising is not valuable.
Not long ago a local church, which
tried tho experiment of announcing
Its attractions In a paid advertise
ment Inserted In the Telegraph,
found that tho crowds attracted by
that advertisement wero too great
to get into tho building.
Still more recent was tho case of
old Mrs. Stott, whose son was hang
ed In the county jail at Harrlsburg
last week. She didn't havo money
enough to pay her faro from Syra
cuse to Harrlsburg for a last visit to
tho wayward "hoy, and sho was in an
agony of suspense because there
seemed to be nothing hut tho pot
tor's field for him after the execu
tion. Tho newspapers of Syracuse and
the Telegraph in Harrlsburg laid the
facts before tho public. They did
not make an appeal for funds, but
nearly $1,000 was sent In to them
for tho penniless woman.
To be sure, that was not advertis
ing In one sense of the word, but In
another it was. It was talking to a
whole lot of people at once, instead
of wasting your breath and time on
one.
Some men can't talk convincingly
and some men can't advertise con
vincingly, but that is no argument
against either talking or advertising.
The possibilities of good advertis
ng are no more limited or restricted
In their fields than the possibilities
of good talking.
