Somebody asked an old Missouri store-keeper why
he didn’t put a sm^ll advertisement in the local news-
paper to advertise a “home blend” of coffee that was
particularly good.
“1 don’t wanta,” he said, lazily. “If I did, folks would
pester me all the time to show ’em my goods.’’
Thus did an old Missouri store-keeper pay uncon-
scious tribute to the business-getting value of adver-
tising. He missed a lot of business, of course, but
there’s another side of it.
Lots of people who really wanted this particular brand
of coffee were unable to get it because no one ever
told them where it was to be had.
You know yourself that it would take you twice as
long to shop if there were no advertisements to guide
you in your buying. You wouldn’t know where to
start. You’d miss a lot of good values just because
no one ever told you about them.
The man who advertises is glad to have you “pester
him’’ to show you his goods. Don’t miss the adver-
tisements. They will save you money.
