ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS
Don't imagine fora moment that
advertising will not bring you re-
sults in you immediate fiel d That's
an error that many merchants, make
when they assure themseilves that
their store is so well known that it
doesn't require newspaper advertis-
ing—that the trdae, will naturally drift
his way anyhow. There isn't a store
anywhere tin the world that has ao
secure a footing as that—not a single
store—and you are doing business in
a field but that your sales can.' be
increased by careful newspaper ad-
vertising. If this is not true, why is
at t hat a stream of mail
orders is constantly going out of your
town to catalogue houses? And are
not these sales made by these cat-
alogue houses the result of persist-
ent advertising in. the very: field you
feel that you have cultivated o the
limit . Whenever you get such an idea
fixed in your mind and really believe
that there's nothing more ta, conqur r
you are simply turning over ready
money to the man that; does possess
the broader vision—you are ceding
territory & rights to others that care -
fu.' newspaper advertising would le-
taut in your possession.
