I maintain a stock of carefully f Selected merchandise. To be able to recommend the best ; product for every need, it is part of my training to know the stand­ ards of quality and measures that have been established by science and experience. When I order goods my selection is based on the known merits of these widely recognized standards. 1 "Then I advertise to give people the news of my store. Because I know that nearly everybody reads a newspaper I use newspaper advertising regularly. When people pay for newspapers they read them carefully for all of the news that is .nteresting to them. When my ads are newsy and contain useful information 1 know that people will read them because they are news” Another fact that merchants like about newspaper advertising is that they can buy it on the basis of i known values that are just as definite as the measures of weight and quality that apply to merchandise which they handle. Businessmen cannot afford to speculate with advertising. When they buy newspaper space they i can make their investments on the strength of circulation facts and figures that are verified. ; It is good business practice to buy advertising by , euch methods just as it.is good business to buy and I sell merchandise on the basis ’ of known standards. \ This-helpful information is available from reports issued by the Audit Bureau of Circulations,’ a cooperative, nonprofit association of more than 3,575 publishers; advertisers and advertising agencies.
