If anyone wants to know why the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
Enormous Shows United is 80 successful
they have only to look about and see
at every hand their advertising. If
they do such a world of business, it is
because they do a corresponding world
of advertising. The same principal
holds true with the business done by
any of the local merchants. Alexander
T. Stewart pioneer of the great mer-
chant princes in this country, used to
say that at least onethird of a mer
chants investment should be in adver-
Using, and the remaining two-thirds to
his stock. Merchants like John Wana-
maker, Seigel & Cooper, and others. Of
the best department establishments
throughout the country, as a matter of
fact, spend as much money in advertis-
ing as they do in buying stock. This
does not necessarily mean that they
must make one hundred per cent. profit
in order to do 80 as might appear on the
surface. The greatest item of expense
of such great circus establishments as
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bro
Tiers Enormous Shows United is that
of advertising. Their enormous success
shows the wisdom Of their policy in
that direction. These great shows will
appear here on Tuesday, June 10, at
the Fair Grounds.
