THE TOWN DOCTOR
(1 he Doctor of Towns)
•
Says
• MANY TOWNS ARE LIKE SOME MERCHANTS
;They, spend much time and money trying to attract new bpsi-
ness when 'they are -not getting all these is to get out of the business
' • There is, in advertising business, what is called the "Golden
Triangle" of every mercantile establishment. It is that space • in
front of the store where people who Pass can 'see the store entrance
and the.windows. It is the vital point in every retail business; for
no merchant can, sell his wares (exeluding,thail °riles and telephone
. orders) unless the people come into the store. 'The advertising to•
reach the area so named is what is called "Point of Purchase" ad-
vertising. Its purpose is to stop thc passerby, Which is the one big
reason for show windows and window displays, Through this med-
ium the merchant, attempts to attract attention, then create a desire
to enter the store. American people buy by eye—what the eye does-
n't see, the heart doesn't fancy. •
Towns are exactly like stores in this general respect.' If a
town got all of the business froin the traffic it already has, it is
ten to one that it •would never have to spend any money for addit-
ional business. But as long as there..aretowns, and the people in
them remain human, they will probably continue to go after more
customers when, they have not got all there i to be had fiorn the
traffic they already have.
•Let tis take automobile traffic as one angle of revenue or
business for a town. Every strangeautomobile that passes through
your city is worth a goodly sum—much more than most people think
s --•but you must stop the car and get the, passengers out of it, if
you are going to get their business. Twenty/per cent. of tbose peo-
ple who tour by motor car are in the market for or can be sold a
new location. Every motorist can be made to be the cause for more
motorists coming to your town. An analyzation of this means of
town income shows many surprising facts, chief of which is' first,
that very few towns recognize the business that can be bad from
it.
One morning a few years ago 1 left Chicago very early for
points east, To save time and avoid traffic I took a back road, but
much to my chagrin I, encountered a freight train whose engineer
evidently had no place to go and was in no hurry to get there. The
half hour that I was delayed I have never regretted, for while wait-
ing there 1 saw that which to me was, is and always will be a pic-
ture in life of wonderful significance.
Just inside the fence from where I sat parked lay a calf of
less than six months of age, lazily dozing in the morning sunshine.
The morning was warm and the flies, were more than numerous.
Around the calf were many goslings, one of which was some five
feet or more away, lazily sunning himself with eyes half open, but
occasionally rousing sufficiently to pick off a fly that came unsus-
pectingly close enough. Another little fellow had settled himself
directly adjacent to and up against that which would soon be some-
one's. veal steak, and waslast asleep. Had the calf moved, one little
duck would have been no mare. Two other little downy ones with
much vim arid quacking endurance were chasing their fool legs off
trying to run down, overtake and devour- elusive insects that were
far too clever for them—BUT—there was another little duck stand-
ing on that portion of the teclining calf's anatomy whet e swish of
tail and toss of head failed to disturb him, picking hundreds of flies
off the calf's back—in other words, taking advantage of opportunity.
To me the calf was a highway, the flies were motorists, and
the goslings were towns, each in a true -to -form stage of wakefulness,
activity and resourcefulness.
Your town is one of these ducks.
KNOW THE VALUE OF YOUR TOURIST TRAFFIC
There has been a great 'deal said about the value of automo-
bile tourists. Not all of it has been correct, since much of it has
been more- or less guess work and the personal opinions of groups
Promoting highway routes and trails and publishers of books in
which advertising is the main issue. in many cases the data given
out is somewhat out of line, but be that as it may, the truth is
nearer their figures than the realization 00 the part Of most towns
Of what the actual value really is.
A check of automobile tourist traffic in practically every corner
of the country shows an average of three and one-half persons per
car; the average daily expenditure for not less than ten-day trips
to be over $17.00 an average of 250 miles daily, covering seventeen
cities and towns; and that less than 20% of the traffic are "Tin Can
Tourists" -s -those who live in camps and travel in what. might be
termed second class,
Average expenditures will show
Gasoline, allowing 250 miles, 15 miles to gal. at 16c $2.75
Oil, average of 3 pints per day at 30c a qt.
.45
Automobile incidentals; including storage ..............................50
Meals, blcf. 50e, lunch '50; dinner $1.00 . , ... ......... 7,00
Lodging, average of $1,50 per person • 5.25
Ipcidentals 1.75
TOTAL $17.70
'This does not allow for unforseen expenses, but does include
possible tire and mechanical upkeep, tips, a soda or sandwich now
and then, and the usual "Having a Swell Time' 16 the folks back
On this basis, the potential cash value of each tourist car (a
car more than 100 miles away from its garage) is $1.64 to each of
the towns through which it passes.
There are fewtowns of 40,000 population, and many with less,
that do not now have an average traffic of 25,000 cars per week
(8572 per day or 228 per lioin for 16 hours a day—less than two
cars each way per minute) and motor traffic will Mei-ease yearly,
97wenlysfive thousand tourist cars cerotite spend $442,000.00
in seventeen towns per week, or,$26,000 per town. A business hoose
rith an apirttal business equal to this Would be something to talk
abotit.
Every town has a Chance • at thi htsiness. It may not be
$3714 per clay, but onesfifth that Much is something to go after.
The live 'business organization' knows the amOrint of traffic
that passes through the town .the same as any live Merchant knows
the nninbes of peoPle that pass, his :itore., No town or business can
tell if they are getting their share of business to be had if they do
not know thiS,
Tite cash value of toy slat or 01 (AM. traffic is great, en otigh

have widened the farmers' range of marketing at a profit and have
broadened opportunities for the employment of labor, but too few
towns and CitiCS' have capitalized oil it.

arid freedom from trouble.
—No other tire in the world will re-

donal cost one of the best investments
you have ever made.
