Every experienced or observing
business man can make fair estimate
of the amount of trade in his line that
can be worked up in the community
in which he may reside. Every legi-
innate business is capable of a certain
measure of development by newspaper
advertising, and in vast majority of
cases the profits of the induced traffic
will amount to many times the cost of
the advertising. 1t depends on the
trader himself what shall be the extent
of his business within certain limits.
