‘‘It is working on the m i n <1 s and
purses of every one of our customers.’’
"Why,” he continued, “this business
lieeause of the advertising we have
done, is worth $12,001) more than it
was before we began.”
The two partners increased their ap-
propriation. modestly, it is true. That
was five years ago. Today, for it is in
a large city, their appropriation is eight
times their original amount. Their
standing, with bankers, manufacturers
and customers is A-l. Their business
has grown ami grown in a healthy way.
And still as one of them put it—
"In the last five years advertising has
made money for us. Every cent we’ve
spent has come back to us. and brought
another with it. But, our real profit—
our big profit from that advertising is
bunked in the minds of the people.
Ours is the best known business of its
kind in town. And that is worth a lot
of money to us."
Ordinarily in tlu* category of hu-
man events, when the calendar page
marks Marell 21, the populace is wont
' lo remark that "Spring has came."
But, in view of the rather unprece-
dented atmospheric disturbances
I which have appeared within the past
I tew days, to ruffle dispositions and
i make individuals and groups hug the
i family hearthstone with more or less
comfort, there are perhaps some this
I year who are apt ot dispute this as-
I sertlon.
Yet in tile complex organization ot
| tile universe, the vernal equinox plays
a most important part; and, as March
21 dawns today, winter should relin-
quish its hold and spring gently rush
in. Tliis year winter must have been
made of more stubborn material than
' liaso rdinarily obtained and spring is
having a rather hard time getting a
i foothold in its accustomed place. True
, enough, site did get a peep-in some
few weeks ago,, but it was just a trial
entrance and she must show sterner
tuff if she expects to permanently
make her 1923 debut today.
Tlie close proximity of Eastertide,
coining as it does in early April, may
have a tendency to rush straw hats,
' palm beach suits and pastel shades of
'organdie, but it’s a safe bet there'll
• lie none seen on the streets of Gal-
| veston today.
j But. with all the world,

joiclng. for no matter the outward ap-
pearance. spring actually is here -

Two partners were debating their ad-
vertising policy — planning the cam-
paign for the next six months.
Theirs is a retail store which spent
in one year $12,000 on its advertising
which was 5 per cent of their yearly
volume, a fair t'xpenditure in their
line of business.
In growth of sales they could easily
point out the home-coming of the $12-
ooo with a fair and reasonable profit in
its train. For these two partners that
expenditure was a profitable short-term
investment.
One of the partners spoke up:
"John,” he said, "we have a cash
profit in the bank from that $12,000,
but we have a greater intangible profit
by far — it is piled up for us in the
minds of even’ man and woman in the
city.
"It is reflected in the attitude of our
bankers.
"It is present in the minds of the
manufacturers who sell us.
