These good words are from the
Davenport Gazette: -"Those who are
skeptical concerning the uses of adj
vertising often ask the above ques-
tion. In reply, a distinguished
authority says that the country is
full Of men who have got rich by
advertising. In fact no man expects
now to keep his business running
without informing the people wh,f
Ne is doing and where he can be
found. The people cannot afford to
hunt up places of business and trnde.
They have been 50 long accustomed
to gaining that information from
newspapers that they depend upon
that source altogether and govern
their trade from what they learn at
their homes and firesides. a lively
advertisement is a friendly talk be.
tween business men and their GUS
toners. It is daily invitation for
people to come and trade, and every
day the readers of local paper en-
pect to see there what the merchants
the manufacturers and the people
have to say. A good newspaper is
travelling agent, taking his daily
rounds to the families Of all their
customers. No matter whether the
times are good or dulfy no matter
whether trade is brisk or otherwise,
no business man can afford to take
down his sign, nor withdraw the
pleasing influence Of daily chat
with his customers through the
newspaper. For a business man to,
stop advertising would be equivalent
to his saying, II have stopped bust
ness and ask no more favors of the
people,"
