SHORT TALKS.

Don't expect the newspaper to
do ell. Look out for the chow
window and the cases and coun-
ters. When you advertise some
thing of special interest in the pa
pers, fill the window with it and
have it prominently displayed in
the store. Have some neat tick
cts painted and hung up above or
near the goods.
Be sure all the clerks know what
is going on. If l we're running a
store, I would make it the first
rule that every clerk should read
every advertisement. every day.
1 would have them understand
just what I was trying to do with
each advertisement-jnst what
the goods were and where they
came from and how they happen
ed to be 30 cheap, or so good or
both.
The newspaper is sometimes
blamed for the i'll success of an ad-
vertisement when the real fault is
right in the store. Don't ever ex-
pect spasmodic advertisement to
pay. Don't ever let an issue of a
paper you are using appear with
out your advertisement.
The day you leave your ad out
will probably be the very day on
which somebody will look for it,
