"Men who believe in the principles of Odd Fellowship, and want to learn of their teachings," he continued, "will do well, to seek out the man that wears a three-link pin, and be informed on how to become an Odd Fellow." fl I IIIII I II 11#11111111111111 DOLLAR DAYS Tue·da7 and Wed-.41·7 arc Dollar Days.

It witl make a specialty of light breakfasts. The Coffee shop idea originated in the mind of K. Kazanjian, a young man who recently came to Wilmette from 'Canada. Of Armenian extraction, Kazanjian has the distinction of never having seen the land of his fathers. He was born in Bulgaria and, when but a mere boy, was taken to England where he lived until less than a year ago when he decided to tr.y his fortune in the western world.

Kazanjian's young wife, who is an English girl, has a position in the First National bank. They have been in the village for several months and regard it as about the "finest place yet."

Frank McClure, president of the Wilmette Sunday E\·ening club and an internationally known leader in the field of advertising, was the speaker at thi week's meeting of the Wilmette Rotary cluh. His subject was "The Advertising }.J-an's Laboratory." Mr. McClure depicted hy means of actual ad\'crtising illustrations, the various phases of appeal to the prospective buyer, including the appeal to the senses, to comfort, to pride, to economy, to a sense oi beauty and artistry. The value of color combinations and schemes was empha ized by Mr. McClure. It is a well established fact, he declared, that red coloring appeals to women , while men prefer the blue, so that. in consequence, color adverti emcnt designed to appeal to men invariably have the blue predominating while illustrations expected to be of especial intere t to women have red as the outstanding color. Mr. Mi:Ciure placed advertising in the . fore-ranks among the professions. Whereas, not so many years ago the quack and fakir predominated the advertsiing field, he illustrated, today, 34 states in the l:nion, have, by statute, banned all types of quack and patent medicine advertising, while banks and leading commercial houses everywhere, as well as libraries and churches, regard advertising as essential to successful business. \Vhile a salesman can appeal to only a comparatively .few people, advertising reaches millions. Poor advertising can be very disastrous while effective advertising represents the highest type of salesmanship.
