Are You boasting?
Business is good in most Iines today and for this reason there is a
natural tendency to "let down" on aggressiveness - to
spend less time on trying to win new customers and
to keep old ones from straying to some other
merchant,
• Business can easily be compared be a motor ear. As long as
there is gasoline in the tank and you keep ".stepping on" the aocel-
erator,'the car keeps gaining speed or at least travels along at the
speed you desire. So it is with business --as long as you keep adver-
tising you gain new customers to replace those who for some reason
or other are lost.
-When you "throw out" the clutch on a car it doesn't Stop -ib
coasts. So it is with your bu' ines's; when you slow down or stop
advertising you cannot see an immediate difference in the tempo of
your business -it "coasts" on the speed' which you have gained
advertising;
But once again, let us compare. the motor car to a business.
When the car "coasts" for a time it slows down to regain the
former speed you must feed it extra gasoline to regain the lost
momentum. This is exactly what happens to a business. When the
pulling power of advertising has been taken away for a time you
must use more of it to regain the lost momentum.
There are a great many kinds, of advertising available to the
man who wishes to dispose of his merchandise. He can tell his eust-
tomers and prospective customers in Many different ways of the
service he has to offer -Birt for a
