Il wish could impress your manu-
facturers and business men," said John
Mshin, of Chicago, to the Davenport
Times, with the power Of advertising.
I remember Mr.. Frank Cooper (of Sic
gel, Cooper & o.).telling me some years
ago that when he ran store at Peoria
he never asked the bank for $4,000
when he needed 1t, but went through
his stock, marked down things that
ought to move, and took page in the
papers and told the people about it and
In three days he had his $4,000. He
claimed 1t took him some years to get
the confidence of the people. They
did not at first understand
that he meant what he said
The man who has conviction
that he can give the people value give
them q reason for accepting his opinion
on what he makes OF what he sells and
states that reason in the newspapers
finds that sincere statement will bring
sincere response and in due time q
basis of mutual confidence between a
widening circle will be established
which gives the advertiser power to fix
prices, regulate sales and obtain profits
which cannot be assailed. When q
man realizes that advertising is not
buying space but is in reality getting
other people to accept his views on his
goods he has begun to see the possible
tiles ofwhat he can do and what good
advertising agency car .ssist him In &C.
