Judicious advertising always pays.

Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have good thing, advertise 1T. 1t

Using
You can't eat enough in one week to last
a whole year. and you can't advertise on
that plan, either.
A large advertisement once and then
discontinued creates the impression that
the man has fizzled.
It's as true of advertising as OF anything
else in the world-if its worth dong atall,
it's worth doing well.
Injudicious advertising is ike hshing
where these are no fish You need not let
the lines fall in the wrong place.
If you can arouse curiosity by an adver-
tisement it is great point gained. The
fair sex don't hold all the curiosity IN the
world
The people who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can't
remember anything longer than about sew
en- days.
A standing advertisement, even though
small one, is like sign over a store ;
ever in sight, and constant suggestion to
| the public of something the public should
have, and the place to get 1t.
