One of the easiest ways to make
people go abroad to trade is to neglect
to advertise at home. Merchants who
don't believe that advertising pays,
should be the last to complain if peo-
pie who send abroad for goods do so
because of the bargains offered in the
city papers or because they see things
advertised that they think the local
merchants don't keep. If the local
merchants would make a business OF
thoroughly advertising the goods they
handle, and their prices, much of this
trade would be kept at home. The
merchant who keeps them informed
that he keeps what they want and
that he will sell it at reasonable pri-
ces has cause to complain of his GUS
toners sending to the cities for their
goods. Staple goods may sell with
out advertising, but specialties must
be thoroughly advertised.
