A PUFF WITH AN AD. 



Thomas A. Edison is a hard-headed 

 man, and he has hard-headed men about 

 him. They do not fall for the "salve" 

 that is the greatest weakness of a large 

 class of publications. 



A few weeks ago the Edison Stor- 

 age Battery Co. began a series of ad- 

 vertisements in a number of publica- 

 tions, exploiting a new battery. This 

 is the way last week's advertisement 

 begins: 



"If you will procure a map, draw a 

 lot of dotted radial lines from Orange 

 as the center, and extending to the 

 farthermost parts of the United States, 

 each dot will denote a representative 

 of some advertising medium on his way 

 to cajole our venerable gate keeper, 

 Kennedy, into passing him up to my 

 office. The avalanche started the day 

 after the first announcement of this 

 series of letters. I have been compelled 

 to disappoint them. 



"Several gentlemen were especially 

 insistent. Offered to guarantee as much 

 matter in the reading columns as would 

 appear in the advertising pages! 



"I remember the feeling of disgust 

 and misplaced confidence that pervaded 

 me when, as a boy, I read an interest- 

 ing article on some subject which 

 proved to be an advertisement, adroitly 

 worded, in the reading columns of a 

 paper to which my father was a sub- 

 scriber. It is needless to say those 

 'guaranteed reading matter' men did 

 not sell any space. I lacked confidence 

 in their papers. 



"The reading matter and advertis- 

 ing columns of a paper should have 

 'Divorce' written between them. 



"I suppose you are wondering what 

 all this has to do with a storage bat- 

 tery. There is no connection. I sim- 

 ply wish to state to some of those who 

 may be preparing to make a journey 

 to Orange to save us from ruin by ad- 

 vising us how to spend our money that 

 we do not wish to purchase any more 

 space at present, and when we do we 

 will make the selection and expect to 

 pay for what we get. 



"I only wish the publicity graft evil 

 could be eradicated from all the papers 

 as it is from some of them. People are 

 interested in reading of a successful 

 man, new products, etc. The lauda- 

 tions should, however, emanate from an 

 unprejudiced pen. Properly edited, the 

 press is the nation's greatest power for 

 good. It has the confidence of the pub- 

 lic, and should not abuse it. 



"Now let us get down to business." 



Trenton, N. J. — ^Wm. W. Blackman is 

 erecting two greenhouses, 28x75 and 

 28x110, at 842 Center street.
