Quoting a small business on II lew thou
said dollars OF capital, he assumes TO
know more than thousands pf men
whose hourly transactions aggregate
more than his do in IA year, and who
have made their millions by pursuing
q course thai he says doesn't pay.
Ii advertising doesn't pay, why is il
that the most successful merchants ui
every town, large and small, are the
heaviest advertisers If advertising
| doesn't pay, who does the most bust
ness2 Ii il doesn't pay To advertise,
WHY do the heaviest business firms il
the world spend millions i'll that way

millions of dollars to the newspaper
and magazine publishers, or because
they don't know as much about bu,l
