Because a merchant cannot afford to insert
a half column advertisement in newspaper is
no reason why he should not advertise. All
heavy advertisers began with heavy announce
ments. The great merchant princes like A L
Stewart, spent at the beginning only small sums
each year--a certain per cent OF their income
in newspaper advertising. As their income in
creased their advertisements heightened out. 1t
is mistake to suppose that small advertise
ments are not seen. They are not only seen,
Init thew are as a rule read by all who see them
because their contents can be taken IN at a
glance. Merchants who do not advertise should
try The experiment, especially in the dull sea-
son. Now is the time to push ones business
The public will not seek a business man. He
must interest the public and make it seek him.
