Madison Journal: The lack of adver-
tising is one of the chief causes of bust
ness failures. There are business men
who do not understand the value of ad-
yertising. They do not see the direct
connection between advertising and the
entrance of customer, or the demand
for any particular article. They, also,
with self-importance which is anus
ing, fancy their business is known to
the whole community, changing as that
community is to an extent which they
have no conception Of The principle
npon which business men should act is
advertise, and advertise the truth. If
you have good thing let the people
know it. Furthermore, never let an od.
vertscmcnt get stale.
