of those who, when business is dull, don't advertise ?
Have you ever considered what a mistake that is ?
When business is brisk you are bound to get a share
in what it going. Of course, you can increase your
trade by advertising liberally then. But when the
""off" season is on, why not try and capture the cus-
tomers who are getting the necessaries of life. It's
our own fault, or there is something wrong with
Y
your advertising, if you don't succeed.
The best business men of the world say that if
you have something that every day people want and
you can make them know that you have it, you are
on the road to a great business success.
There is no other way of telling these people
anything you wish them to know quite equal to the
advertisement in the local newspaper. _
You cannot utilize the local newspaper in a het
ter manner than by advertising in Til:. TI:IIES.
Why ? ' Because TIIE TIMES reaches all classes
of people it the Town of \gingham, and in the County
of Huron and immediate vicinity. Tlli: TIMES goes
