Points for BUSINESS Men.

An exchange thus puts the "true
canons of ADVERTISING
/. All men in business must adj.
vertise in some way. An men in
business do advertise somehow.
.. Newspapers afford the best
general medium.
8. The object of advertising is
simply to bring buyer and seller to
gether-successful advertising must,
therefore, do three things:
a. BE Ineligible and explicit as
to the things % sale.
B. 1T mnst reach the class
likely to buy.
Z. IL must persuade them that it
will be to their advantage to come
and buy.
4. The interests of sellers, buyers
and advertising medium are mutu
al.
o. Sellers, buyers and newspapers
are all three equally Ainteyested in
sustaining this mutual relation.
q. The common notion of patron.
age as reglnlsi neN spapers Is falh.
cious. AS all persons are buyers,
all sellers should be advertisers.
As nearly all persons are sellers, all
buyers should take newspapers-in
both cases fo- their own sake not
the newspapers sake.
