If you are in'
business and von
want to make
more money you
[. will read every
word we have to
say- Are yon
spending your
money for ad-
vertising in hap-
hazard fashion
as if intended
tor charity, or do you adver-
tise for direct results?
Did you ever stop to think
how your advertising can be
made a source, of profit to
you, and how its value can be
measured in dollars and
cents. If you have not, you
•re throwing money away.
Advertising is a modern
business necessity, hut must
be conducted on business
principles. If you are not
satisfied with your advertising
you shouifl set aside a certain
amount of money to be spent
annually, and then carefully
note the effect it has ip, in-
creasing your volume of busi-
ness; whether a io, so or 30
per cent increase. If you
watch this gain from year to
you will become intensely in-
terested in yout advertising,
and how you can make it en-
large your business.
If you try this method wn
believe you will not want to
let a single issue of this paper
go to press without »omething
from your store.
We will be pleased to hare
you call on us, and we will
take pleasure in explaining
our annual contract for so
many inches, and how it can be
used in whatever amount that
seems necessary to you.
If you can sell goods over
the counter we cau also show
you why this paper will best
serve your interests when you
want to reach the people of
