Nave Want. All tbs Time.

There are many things mer-
chant can say in the way Of busi-
ness which will make people think
OF his store when they want goods.
Ii is not so ruLh the space he
uses as that he says something
worthy OF the space. A merchant
can call loudly in a newspaper and
not make an impression on the
public ear, and he can use the
quiet argument which will mean
much to those who have wants
and who are going to supply them
from some store in the near future.
The thing to remember is that
people have wants all the tire,
and 1t requires constant talking at
those who want things to land
them as customers. 1t is not the
best plan to say broken thoughts
at odd Intervals, but it is the wise
thing to make people understand
all the time that there is one place
where real values are to be found.
Don't make the mistake OF putting
poor advertising into good space,
and don't deprive the readers of
the papers OF a chance to see the
advertisement when they want the
goods sold by your firm.
