A LITTLE CHAT FOR
YOU, Mr.. MERCHANT

liberal contract for advertising must have,
faith-fath in himself faith in his business, and faith
in the newspaper he pays his money Adyertising
the greatest force business today and merchants
fast beginning realize it. The mid one looks at his
space in the paper and finds it hard how it IL
worth very much That is all wrong and he is lacking
in the two essential requses-faith and enterprise. He
go with that the thousands of homes each
day and do its work. The fact is the space is not
the thing he pays for at ALL Space only the medium
through which he conveys impression of his goods
and his the thousands possible customers each
day. He cannot reach them any other way The mer-
chant who doesn't advertise doesn't reach them The real
vauethe intangible thing he really buys is an effect
peoples minds. The best asset business man can
have is to be continually impressed on thousands Of
human brains You can't it you can't feel it; but it
does its work and sells the goods trial in the Daily
