If Advertising is Good for Others
It Is Good For
YOU
A small merchant gets the idea occa-
sionally that advertising is alright for his
competitor but “it is impractical for me.”
This is not, however the case. Because
the big business is building and holding good
will in a big way, the small business man
should be building and holding good will in
a small way, or he will lose what prestige
he already has gained.
If newspaper advertising is good for
the other fellow it is good for you, too. Good
will is created by newspaper advertising
and other intelligent methods.
