You Try This.

Columbia Herald:
New advertisers often complain that
although they have carried an adver-
tisement for several weeks and the
returns have come in, yet the amount
of increased business is barely large
enough to cover the cost of advertising
and they can see no use in swapping
dollars in this way.
Advertising is educatlve and the
amount Of force the advertisement
carries with it constantly increases.
You cannot educate the people into
the habit of buying your goods in a
week any easier than you can gain a
University education in week. The
great mass of people reach the buying
stage by slow degrees. The first time
they see your advertisement they pay q
little attention to it. They second
time they see it it recalls the fact that
they have seen it before. Successive
appearances OF the advertisement Gre
ate defuite impressions and soon the
reader has reached the buying point.
Having once reached this point you
have a customer for life, if you treat
him fairly and keep your name con-
stantly before him by advertising.
