Stopping the Advertisements.

A steady run of satisfactory results
from the right sort of newspaper ad-
vertising sometimes leads the adver-
tiser into the belief that the impulse
thus given to his trade will continue
without further use of that method of
securing publicity. Thus deluded,
his advertisements are withdrawn,
and he waits for the usual comfort
ing returns from his sales; but in
variably the sales decrease. The
purchasing public, no longer seeing
his customary advertisements,
promptly forget him and buy else
where. There is homely Creole
proverb much in vogue in Louisiana
which fits this merchants case:
