Above all, advertising must be com
tinuous. The great secret of success In
business lies not in advertising when
everybody wants TO buy, but In Undue
ing the public to purchase when they
are less willing. The uctess business
man quits advertising az the close Of
an unusually brisk business period,
such as the Christmas holidays; but
the experienced merchant does not in
terrupt the continuity OF his address to
the public, knowing that with the close
Of the active purchasing season the at
traction OF customers becomes more
difficult He advertises then with as
much vigor as during the holiday rush
and he gets the patronage the lack OF
which the non-advertiser mourns. The
merchant who achieves success adver.
tises extensively. continuously and
with discrimination.
